I remember reading a long time ago that gay men are slightly more endowed than straight men. I remember my friends (almost all of them straight) chuckling about it while side-eyeing me & Greg..

I've heard that too. I wonder if there is any scientific merit to it.

It's true, I think it was 6.33 inches on average for gay men and 5.99 inches for straight men or something close to those numbers. I read it in a book.

I had the weirdest sleep. Dreamed I was getting married while at the same time removing a virus from my laptop. XD

Off to work in about 15 minutes. :eek:

Good luck!! You'll be great!

Remember the customer is always right (sometimes) :)

Porn makes it seem like 7+ is the average.

Thanks.

Though the customer is definitely not always right. I hate that motto.

Glad I'm not the only one. One of the reasons why I could never do retail is because some customers are extremely rude and disrespectful. I've seen poor customer salesman get yelled and thrown things at. There was a popular YouTube video about a similar situation. I hate that motto too.

stop watching porn.

Never!!
 
I've been doing some dumb math today and found out im going to be 43 in 2040 and I think that's pretty cool I'm going to live in the future.
Also I'm gonna be 63 when 2060 happens....woah
 
I like the idea of allies being represented as part of the community as well. For example, what about the straight child of same-sex parents?

Adding a bit more nuance to the conversation, I guess you could also say that "ally" doesn't necessarily have to mean that one is straight; for instance, a gay or lesbian person could be an ally for transgender rights.

(I'm ultimately not that fussed though, just adding my 2c. :))

I do wonder, are hearing parents of deaf children (or hearing children of deaf parents) considered part of the Deaf community if they take the steps to learn sign language and interact with members of the community?

You should read Far from the Tree by Andrew Solomon. It has a section about deaf people and as far I can remember they actually look down on hearers who learn sign language and some of them seem to think it would be better to have deaf children taken away from their hearing parents to be raised within the deaf community.

You know you have bad friends when none of them want to hang out/go to dinner for your birthday. (Its not my B-Day...yet).

Are they really your friends then? I know the feeling, and I wouldn't consider them "friends" more like acquaintances. Yet some of them might not be able to make it, or have legit reasons for not being able to hang out with you.

Hello guys, I added more to the OT6 Rough Draft. I changed the title to DA's title suggestion, I hope you all like it. Otherwise, we can continue to come up with more fun titles. I added the rules, resources, the eventual wall of shame, and more words. I removed the Ally explanation from the acronym, based on the discussions we've had before about the topic. Ratsky told me not to over-think it so the thread is very casual, nothing too verbose. In any case, if there's something that you guys want me to change or added feel free to tell me.

Thank you all :3

Put me in the camp that thought the "A" in the acronym meant to represent asexual people. I had no idea it referenced allies. :x

Anyway, while we're talking about the new OT I'm repeating my previous request about putting a list of interesting, worth watching/reading books and movies about LGBT stuff in the OT. Maybe reserve first post (or two, just in case) for such list so it could be systematically updated with time?

Unfortunately, gay movies are of varied quality (most that I've seen steered into the boring/too-artsy-for-me category) and it would be great to have an easily accessible list of recommended movies and books without having to look through the whole thread or constantly asking people about them. Just few pages ago (few hundreds posts ago) I saw people talking about the movie Beautiful Thing. With this thread moving in a speed of light these days, if I wasn't so bored at work, I would have easily miss it.

Those Mr. "Christ tattoo"* guy and Steve Raider one... yum!

* I wonder how weird would it be to fap with that hand with Jesus looking straight at you with those weird eyes :|

Thats very true. Though one of them did say "Nah, I have food at home". Fuck you too.

Yes, I remember. That would be a nice section to add. Can you come up with a list of LGBT related films that you like? Let's all try to come up with a list for films and books. TV shows too. I think it would be good to add it to the OT instead of reserving the first post for it.

The A is for Asexuals. Some people use it to mean both. Some people use it just for allies but this is in error.
The bolded was my understanding of it as of before, but after reading through a lot of discussions and educating myself a bit on Asexuals with some articles I feel like they deserve a letter of their own, and since 2 A's would look silly I think of it as just Asexuals now.

The people that fight with us against people and laws that try to discriminate us are still welcome here to interact with that community, of course, they are just not part ot the acronym as far as I'm concerned..

Question:
Guys making slutty faces while doing things down south. Hot or not?

Every once in a while I try to make silly faces in this situation just to see how long it takes to get him to laugh.

Communication and eye contact is always super hot.Just don't duckface.

2050? I'll be.. (ugh) 72. If I make it that far along.

Definitely going to be an interesting century. I hope to see a good chunk of it, if only to witness humanity's trajectory.

Cuz you're a furry.
It has more to do with just totemism which isn't something that is exclusively part of the furry fandom. So I doubt that only furries would like those books.

Oh, and apropos totemism, everyone should check out Isabel Allende's YA novel called City of the Beasts, it's magical.

Same. I fucking loved those books! (no lgbt characters iirc, though David always gave me those vibes)
Who was David again? My memory of it is a bit fuzzy as it's been a long time since I've read it. And no, I can't remember any mention of homosexual romance either, sadly. :/
