Well, I'm very late to the discussion, but as is often the case I agree whole-heartedly with the authors of the following posts: Well said, Jamie! Personally, I completely agree with you. As always, Colin, you can be counted on to be a warm, positive breath of fresh air! Very well-said! Oh my gosh! That rocked SO much, Ieshwar!!! Personally I've always found gays to be cuter, more sophisticated, kinder, and all around more intelligent that the average population as well! Yes, as Graeme said this isn't always the case, but to me being gay does seem likely to boost ones chances of having these positive attributes. Well said, dude! You guys rock, and I'm SO happy that you're a part of the next generation of gay people. With gay guys such as yourselves society and science both stand a much better chance of advancing in a positive, affirming manner. I could add to what these three have said, but there'd be little point! Well said guys Just my opinion of course Take care all and have an awesome day! Kevin

Hey LC Thanks, I am having a wonderful week, and I hope you are as well!

OHHH a good day indeed!! Oh my gosh that was so adorable! Thanks for giving us the link! Ahh, a man after my own heart

Hi all, Sombre subject I know, but I was thinking this evening about how I wasn't out in high school. I had a friend who was obviously gay though. Everyone knew it. Only he wasn't really the "strongest" of people and the pressure of things led him to make some bad decisions. His first sexual experience occurred he was about 16 or 17 with a 30 or 40 something year old man who, to be charitable, only wanted him for sex. Then in college he feel into the drug culture and, despite having always been a very intelligent, promising student, ended up dropping out of school and working THREE jobs to try to support his habit. Eventually he more or less cleaned up his act, but it was only by joining a religiously jealous group which, besides the drugs, reinforced his ALREADY self-destructive feelings of self-loathing over being gay. Last I heard he was preaching against the "sins of homosexuality" and on bad days getting drunk and hooking up. Anyway, I regret not being there for him. I somehow feel like maybe if I'd been out, and had looked after him properly things would have turned out better for him. So what do YOU regret? -Kevin

LOL, you'll need that if we do get around to the shopping! OHH, yes! I'd like to go to the French or Swiss Alpes!! I hadn't even thought about the transportation in San Fransisco thing! Is it easy to find taxis, etc?

LOL, well I realize the first one is set for San Francisco, but I'd still like to point out that Houston is actually very gay friendly and centrally located (*cough* for me). LOL, I once got hit on by a guy fresh from Southern Decadence, actually creeped me out alot, I'm not sure what he was on, but it wasn't pretty.

Wooo HOOO! Yay for Conner!!

Happy Birthday, Kaitlyn I hope it was very happy, very wonderful day! All the best for the coming year! Kevin

Well you can put me down as a VERY strong probably. I think that would be a ton of fun, and I'd love to see San Fran! (how's the shopping there? ) I wonder if some of the other Texas area GA people might want to travel together? PM me if this would apply to you and you'd be interested This sounds like a great idea Keep us posted! -Kevin

Oh my gosh! Vegas!! YES! We *SHOULD* go to vegas! -Kevin (the mostly former compulsive gambler )

Certainly I say this with the utmost amount of respect, but I really don't think a group made up almost entirely of GLBT people is the best to colonize anything, lol at best our colony would likely only hold for one generation

Hey Nick I'm sorry you had a stressful 18 hours I hope everything gets much better! You should definitely take all the time you need to relax and feel better! Goodness knows I'm inclined to dropping off the face of the internet from time to time myself so that I can decompress a bit Take care, enjoy your time, and we'll be here when you get back Kevin

How very sweet of you guys and gals! Personally, I'd love to have a puppy, but since I don't even have enough time to properly look after Lucky (my cat), I know I wouldn't have anywhere near enough time and attention for a puppy.

What a lovely idea! Happy Friendship Day everyone!!

LOL, well I get paid on Mondays That and they're kinda a weird and relaxing sorta day schedule/activity wise.
