Up, page 5, but the story was featured on the front page of the Winnipeg Sun... so I imagine several people went and looked. See... on Sunday I went to go watch the gay pride parade (no I didn't march in it) partially because a friend was in it, partially because I wondered what they were like etc.
Anyway, so yesterday my Mom says to me, "So Dad saw your picture in the paper" My eyes got a wee bit big as I tried not to start laughing. I'd been avoiding TV cameras and what not, but oh well whatever not a huge deal. Needless to say my mother was not at all pleased with me having attended... then again it's not as if my mother is pleased with much that I do. Either way, I went and grabbed the paper, and sure enough, it's a crowd shot, but I was right near the front, in a black sleeveless shirt which really stands out in the black and white photo, so you can easily notice me if you take a look.
Ahh... so funny.

Ok I know you lost weight but the first thought that came to mind when I saw the title was the newspaper title of "Gay religious boy wins pie eating contest"

don't get huffy I am just kidding.

Do your parents know you're gay?

[Salty]

Yes I told them a couple months ago. Mom is a wee bit less than supportive.

Kinda like when someone tells their parents they want to be a vegetarian and their mom still tries to sneak meat into the food?

Yah, only this time it's sneaking naked women into my bed... I wake up and there they are. I mean sure we have some fun conversations but it's getting really frustrating!

your sense of humor has vastly improved since your coming out... this is not the first time a Salty comment has had me laughing lately, and not accidentally either.

I agree.

Kinda like when someone tells their parents they want to be a vegetarian and their mom still tries to sneak meat into the food?

Why bother with the sneaking? My parents just told me that if I wanted to be a vegetarian, I’d have to be one on my own time—they wouldn’t change their cooking just for a ‘phase’ of mine. Meh, the bastards.

(Uh, they didn’t make a big deal of how they weren’t going to stop stuffing naked women into my bed, though... I mean, when I came out, not when I told them I was becoming a vegetarian, ‘cause, you know, that would have been just extremely odd. “Mum, dad: I’m not going to eat meat anymore.” — “Well, if you think we’ll stop stuffing naked women into your bed just for that, you’ve got another think coming, kid!”. Yeah, you get the idea.)

Edit:

Que the "this thread is worthless without pics" smilies please...

Sorry, are you trying to cue the smilies, or telling us to queue them up somewhere? Or should I just be saying, “¿Qué?”

Well then maybe you'll like this comment I made on the relevant boards, it's a Christian forum (for a magazine, I'm getting an article published on the website soon too) the members there have recently decided they love me. Apparently the whole gay + Christian thing they just find amazing. I had a approximately 2 hour conversation with a younger pastor from in the states explaining to him why homosexual desire isn't a CHOICE as he'd been told all these years. He's since gained an entirely new respect for gay people... makes me happy. Anyway here's a comment I made there when talking about businesses refusing to do work for gay promotiony stuff out of conviction:

Honestly I gotta agree you should be able to find nicer ways to say that your convictions won't allow you. It's one thing to have your convictions it's another thing to have you tell them to me for the 20th time this week. I can't tell you how many times I've had someone tell me they OPPOSE HOMOSEXUALITY I always give them a blank look and ask... how exactly they intend to oppose that. I keep wondering when someone's gonna turn around and say, THIS WAY, and hand cuff me to a woman until we have intercourse.

Apparently I made someone spit out his drink

And honestly my sense of humour hasn't gotten any better since coming out. Everybody just deep down loves gay people. Well except my friend Bryan... ever since I told him he's been awkward around me... the rest of my friends are OK though .

Nah he played a double whammy on us. The April fools joke was that we'd think it was an April fools joke.

[Salty]

So it appears the photos aren't available online There is a very strange one with two guys dressed up in female bathing suits with kiddie pools around their waists, and bright green and orange wigs... cause that's soo freaking gay...

[Jawbone54]

My parents reacted very oddly when I told them that I was (just as I suspected) straight and that I wanted to get married at the ripe old age of 23. They didn't try to make me a vegetarian though.

Maybe I'm just confused by this thread. I'm getting the feeling that my post is too "normal" and out of place.

[EDIT] - Salty, any news from RELEVANT?

[Salty]

Uhh, they're gonna publish it on releveantmagazine.com but I think it's kinda like in and amoung several articles that are going to eventually get put up. They tend to do a couple every couple of days. I'll make sure to post it once it's up.

Um, could you introduce me to your mom?

[Kerrigan]

are there any hot dudes at those parades or is it all trannies, bears, and baby boomers?

The pic has been posted. You can find it here.

Dunno about Winterpeg, but there are some very good looking women and men in the parade in Toronto. I'm convinced some of them are ringers though: Hired by local businesses just to represent them for the parade.

There were these two INSANELY built guys that just showed up shirtless to watch, I swear between the two of them they might have had five pounds of body fat, it was like something out of... I dono but they were freaking ripped!
As for in the parade, there were two floats for gay bars, one was a super sleezey one (or so I'm told) that was really small but had two dancing guys dressed in drag, I nick named them beer gut and the chipmunk... the one guy was like... insanely ugly in or out of drag by the look of it, and there was a smaller guy with him that looked like he might not be so bad physically but in drag he looked freaking horrid! Though I confess I've never been a big drag fan.
There was another bar that had a semi truck toeing probably the biggest float (small parade actually not many floats) and on the two levels danced a good number of people, only one or two looked very good. Ironically the float filled with the best looking guys was the Gay and Lesbian volley ball league! Ha, I'm seriously not even joking.

You can judge for yourself.

There weren't that many bears or trannies... though there were a good number. But yah there were a good number of older ones, and dang were there a lot of brutal looking lesbians! And many many many dogs with rainbow flags around their necks.

[ironknee]

jesus salty is that you pointing to your 3rd nipple?

[JoshuaZ]

A gay pride parade.... hmm...

Here in Japan no one is `gay.` Ever. Even if you see two men kissing, they are clearly not gay. When people complain about gay rights in the West I always think about how bad it is here in the east sometimes.

Really good friends... with interesting benefits.

In Japan? "Good friends."

I love when people insist that "Japanese people can't be gay."

Gay people on TV are just "Playing a part." Even if it is a reality show... or news... or... yeah...

[Salty]

I don't get why japanese people can't be gay. Japanese guys all seem gay to me . Maybe cause they like video games too much? Either way I don't care, japanese people are too tiny... I feel like I'd break them.

Overall most of the guys here are in decent shape. They may be thin, but its all compact muscle. They have a lot of fight in them (as witnessed by constant arm wrestling at my schools). Though the young men here are crazily obsessed with fashion and looking good. Plus they are kind of wimps (I say this out of love). Its weird because one of the most popular comedians is called Hard Gay. Who dresses like a gay biker. (Though not actually gay)



Its a weird country. But in a very good way most of the time.
