If they got Jay McCaroll to design the stuff, then I'd totally be down with this.

Will do. They would definitely provide perspectives from both the community and no community sides of the young gay experience.

That's a good question. I have the notion to discuss this at my show rehearsal tonight. I'm in a production of South Pacific, and I'm now curious to get the perspective of our director, an older gay man, as well as the perspectives of the two gay teens in the cast. They attend a fairly liberal performing arts school,…

Yeah, a lot of my girl friends are lesbians or bi, and that's probably because my best friends of the past 14 years is a lesbian. And I know what you mean about the touchy-feely stuff. There's no sexual threat to either party, so that takes some tension out of the proceedings. I feel like what stops a lot of straight…

Yeah, there are definitely some good LGBT fic writers out there, but so many slash fics are awful and the bad ones are aften the most visible. What annoys me the most is when girls hate a female character because she gets in the way of their gay OTP. djhgf;sdgvlhzfgx;khsajz.hr;k STAHP

You would hate being around my radical feminist best friend then.

Aw, thanks!

For reals. I suppose I'm a stereotypical fruitfly in that I do musical theatre and I love fashion and stuff, and I suppose a lot of my gay male friends are stereotypical in that they do musical theatre and love fashion and stuff, but I'm not friends with them because they're gay. I'm friends with them because we share…

In my experience working with high schoolers, I think the dynamic starts there. There aren't very many out gay boys in high school because high school is a bitch and whether they're closeted or not, gay male teens seem to feel safer with groups of female friends. They're accepted and included and have a buffer from…

My gay best friend is a lesbian. We both think that it's a kind of funny twist on the straight girl/gay best friend paradigm.

Power play. Gay men and straight women are both subjugated to straight men in society and are victims of sexism and homophobia respectively. Most lesbians that I know are hardcore into women's rights to a point that most straight men can't relate to them because of male privilege. Being around people who make them…

"having hate-sex with a guy who's kind of an asshole"

Buffy, RuPaul's Drag Race, and Mad Men. I tend to default to Mad Men a lot because have almost the entire series either digitally or on dvd (I'm just missing season 4).

Hmm, I think I know what I may be recommending to any challenged partner in the future.

But I don't need a map. I'm quite good at getting myself there. The boy, though... he needs help.

Rargh, this is me. I like the kissing and the groping and what not, and then after all that, the sex sounds like a good idea but then it all goes downhill from there. Someone needs to pass out a roadmap and instruction manual to the clitoris to the young straight men of this nation. That is all.

Don't feel shallow. If I'm not physically attracted to the person, it doesn't matter how interesting or cool they sound in the profile. I know myself and if I'm not attracted to the guy, nothing's going to happen.

Tacky perhaps (at least judging on the article picture), but not fat. I do, however, feel like an elephant when I wear heavy shoes (and platforms do tend to be heavy) because of the consequential clomping.

I feel like I relate to her a lot. We both are southern liberal girls with conservative assholes for fathers. Also, Dolly Parton's her godmother, which is badass.

That's the nice thing about online dating, I think. I can usually determine if the guy violates my dealbreakers or not on his profile, which could be a much iffier affair in real life, plus it lets me evaluate the guys pros and cons more easily. For instance, it doesn't matter how hot a guy is to me- if he's…
