7. I'M GAY

and a progressive!

[progressiveandproud]

119. Thank you.

I don't if you've heard of the "Washington Blade", but what bugs me about that paper is its lack of a progressive voice. I am so sick of only meeting and reading about either gay "moderates" or gay "radicals". How 'bout some gay progressives?

Jonathan

P.S. Oh, and I'm here too, and also gay and progressive! And both orientations selected me, thank you very much. ;)

[CitizenRob]

8. Wahoo!

I'm here!

[Terran]

12. Tally Ho!

:D

Now I just hope this doesn't devolve into a bunch of "genre" forums, like

The Bear Forum
The SOL forum
The Twink forum
The Sportsy Dyke Forum
The Differently-Abled Young Lesbians of Color in Wichita Forum...

Y'all know how that can go with us sometimes.

Dirk

[meegbear]

16. I'm sure it won't ...

but a Bear forum, Hmmmm ....

[Terran]

21. Well, that would be fun

Hey, new user, I haven't told my parents, only my friends. I'm 14, and I went through a long period of figuring myself out.

[Bertha Venation]

79. Welcome, BTTB.

:hug: Stick around!

[hraka]

81. Welcome BTTB!

I was 21 before I knew there were women who were attracted to other women. (It took me all of about 6 months to come out after that.) Thinking back, I've been gay as long as I can remember (first memories are around 5 years old and TV personalities). Wishing you luck wth your parents. My mom is right leaning and a little bigotted but has not turned her back on me these past 21 years. (I've been out 1/2 my life - now there's something to celebrate!)

125. Sweet. We're almost the same age. Rock on.

A) Welcome!
B) I was just about to post that I was probably the youngest checking in, but hey!
C) I came out to my parents by starting with "You know what I REALLY hate about the Bush administration?" Oh, I kid you not. It was certainly interesting.

Good luck!
