Gay Ledgies of the World Unite!

[The Tower]

Well, I've always been toying with the idea of just making a thread for the GLBT community of The Ledge.

Fleetwood Mac really has a power to affect those of us who never really had the same opportunity to experience life as our straight brothers and sisters. Dating, courting, proms- the day to day life that is Rumours is sadly denied to most of us homosexuals. Yes, this IS changing- thank gawd- however, for those of us old fogies Fleetwood Mac / Buckingham Nicks really gave us another world to experience passion, love, lust, dreams, goals, desires, unrequited love, betrayal, anger, retribution, loneliness, discovery, reconciliation, forgiveness, and- ultimately- absolute joy.

Granted, I'm pretty sure that most of our straight friends have experienced some of those emotions through FM as much as us. But, jeez- when one is starving to death, a turkey meal with all the fixin's sure as hell tastes a lot better.

Anyways.... I have always loved the fact that I am gay. I feel almost blessed by it. I hope that other Ledgies out there feel the same way. If any of you out there feel like you are out of place or in a different world, believe me- we are here and there is much solace in comraderie and the understanding that "I have been there before, and believe me, it will only get better".

So, if you're gay come over here to my little niteclub- tell some stories, share a bit of fun. Revel in the fact that you are blessed. Of course, all of our straight siblings are most welcome to hang out and partake of the glory that is Gay (or even offer some challenging remarks regarding the glory that is Heterosexual!! )

Isn't today National Coming Out Day? How appropriate.

Just how many of us are there here, anyway?

I had no idea- "Isn't that WEIRD??"

It seems so antiquated these days that people still have to declare their sexual orientation to others. It's kind of sad. I'm such a naive-optimist-idealist-dreamer that I tend to forget that there is still so much discrimination and bigotry out there. I'm lucky because I live in an idyllic gay ghetto.

I'm really surprised at how lavendar The Ledge is- we are legion.

I'm still trying to get my toaster oven by recruiting Dissention. Although, that wouldn't be THAT much of feat considering the dude has the hots for Doug Wilson.....

Whenever you're ready to come over to the dark side, Amber, just let us know.

I think it's absolutely wonderful that you can say that because I am so far from being there. Maybe one day I can feel that great about being gay.

Good lord, is that the time? I need to do some more procrastinating.

I hate that too.

I don't care what anyone thinks of me- I thought I was pretty clear on that. Your quote was a little out of context, so maybe you missed my point.

I have to say that I agree with you there. I think dissing another sexual orientation to try to cancel out the discrimination one experiences is counter-productive and has a tendency to perpetuate the negative feelings people of different sexual orientations have for each other. But, I can understand the comment if it was made entirely as a joke.
