I was just wondering if other homosexual ppl are online here and how they handle their relationships.... what are you doing together? how much PDA do you have? etc

I don't know of anyone personaly on here that is out. Looks like you are looking for some advice...Did you just come out recently? Live in a small town? unaccepting hipocrits coming down on you? Strait myself but relationships and the emotions attached to them are the same throughout. Holding hands and kissing my fiance in public is fine for me, but I know its not that easy fro a gay couple to do the same..unfortunately.
Hey, I can talk relationships. In the meantime, go hit the weights...thats a relationship that NEVER fails. Good luck

Of my freinds that have come out and had similar issues like yours(dirty looks, comments, etc...)they found some solice in joining gay groups such as a local GSA. they were able to connect with people in their situations and it helped them with their adjustment. I can't say it will ever be easy for a gay man in this country but what other people think and say can NEVER come between your feeling for this guy you are with. :cool:

By looking at your picture, I would have never guessed you were gay! :big_smile:

A couple of my classmates and coworkers are gay...and they do same exact things that straight people do(going to movies, bars, clubs, cafes, etc...whatever you enjoy doing in other words)...with their significant others...it's interesting that being gay is so stereotyped on television...I would have never guessed these people I know were gay had I not overheard them talking to their significant others or about their lives to their friends....I think there's a trend on television to portray gay people with certain tendencies similar to those of asian characters decades back...(all have amazing fashion sense, talk with a lisp, hand gestures, work as a stylist, etc)..which is def not the case of the gay people I met(I met some who fit those stereotypes but they are rare)...

In San Francisco people are generally very accepting of others so it's surprising to me there's so much hate in other parts of the country....Nap you generally need thick skin...F those people...bunch of ignorant bigotted people trying to feel superior by putting you down....Jdelt gave you good advice also...

good luck man...

I am myself, and it depends on where you live. If you live in a city where it is accepted, than it's a lot easier. But it is definetly difficult to be out and proud in a city where you will get dirty looks. I don't want to be one to tell you what to do, but me personally wouldn't care and would just do what feels right. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, or your BF doesn't, then perhaps it's not the best idea. Just do what feels right :).
