    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Coming out.

Yes. It's exactly what it sounds like.

Sexual orientation is a very controversial topic. My reason for posting this here is that I'd like it to be viewable by adults only, but I don't want to post it somewhere it's going to turn into a mosh pit. :shrug01:

I know I've dodged this subject alot, but after having such a positive experience with it on CS, I feel confident enough to post it here too.

My name is Adam Boots, I'm twenty years young, and I'm homosexual. I'm in a relationship which I enjoy immensely, and I'm done being afraid. I'm still quite shy about it, but I'm not going to lie anymore.

Feel free to use this thread to make your preferences or experiences known as well. This is an 18+ subforum, but please try to keep your replies PG so we don't end up with a huge slobberfest or yet another enourmous arguing contest. :NoNo:

If you are related to the slashing of my tires, please stop slashing my tires. It's creepy. :thumbsup:
 
Adam,
I feel fairly confident in stating that relatively few people here, if any, are concerned with your sexual orientation. The responses you got in your previous visits here were directly related to how you were posting at that time. (The above was not intended to discourage the topic, or any subsequent conversation...take it at face value.)
That said...welcome back.
My only suggestion for this thread would be that "experiences" not be described in detail :eek:
 
Be who you are, and dont let peoples words bother you. Its a tough thing to just.... come out and say... and personally, i dont think it should be like that. Its not MY cup of tea, but i will support the right to be human and to be free to love whomever! :D

Lol I'd have to agree with everything you've said in that post. But, being straight, I'm not sure you know how.. Relaxing.. It feels to be able to come out to a community of people. It feels like I've been carrying a heavy bag of sand for twenty years and I just dropped it. It's pretty awesome. And I guess my line of thinking is that if I step up and admit that hey, this is me, maybe someone else will have the courage to do the same. Someone more timid than myself might just need a little push. :shrug01:
 
So you like Dick.. I Like Balls (pythons).. Does that make us different? Hell no.. Will I make fun of you? Probabaly Yes lol. But you cant live if your ashamed of yourself. I give you Major props for posting this here! ROCK ON BRO/SIS..!!:thumbsup:
 
Adam,
I've been friends with a number of homosexuals (male, and female) over the years...and they've all said pretty much the same thing. I've seen the torment as they've struggled to be comfortable with their sexuality, even when most of their friends knew and didn't care. Sure, sometimes you'll find somebody that isn't accepting (family can take it the hardest, for some reason), but "coming out" now is fairly anticlimactic in comparison to -say- a generation ago. A whole bunch of anxiety and distress, only to find out that most people aren't phased by it. You're at a tough age, though. Teenage males seem to need to prove themselves more, lol, so the subject of homosexuality is a bigger issue. A lot of posturing on one side, combined with the general teen desire to fit in/be accepted would seem to make for a difficult time.
 
I would have to say you hit the nail on the head, Mr. Moore. To be honest, I'd rather have people shrug and walk away than to get super over-excited about it, whether they're lighting the torches or giving out hugs like candy. It makes for an awkward situation 90% of the time.
 
Alicia? you don't like the pink tacos?? . ... well now my hopes and dreams have been crushed..


I will hide in my corner..


*pouts*


I am bi.. everyone in here knows that.. since I am an equal opportunity.. um.. flirter.


:p
 
LOL! Has it been frigid there too?
I'm right by Leech Lake. We hit -42 one day a few weeks back when it was really cold. And then a friend of mine was talking about 70 degree weather in Florida. :(
But, this Summer when they're all melting to death on the beach, we'll be cool. ;)
 
I'm just a few miles from the IA/MN border....and I am a Vikings fan....so I'm almost a Minnesotan. LOL.

We made it ABOVE zero here today...WOOHOO!!
 
I KNEW you were a drama queen Adam! lol

So now that you've got all that out in the open, maybe you will quit being such a pain the the ass (no pun intended) throughout the rest of the forum, and start getting along with everyone. :)

Welcome back, and hope to see you contributing on here. Remember, everyone on this site just about has something in common. Reptiles. Regardless of whatever else is going on in our lives, we're here because of that. ;)
 
To each his own

I'm glad you felt comfortable enough here to 'come out.' That says a lot about the site itself and the people on it, eh?
Be who you are. The people that love you for YOU won't care, and the people that can't deal with it don't need to be in your life if they can't accept you as you are.
