damn them

though I had a pending homework assignment due relatively early this morning, when asked if i would like to accompany Dave, Aileen and James to a gay club in Los Angeles, I pretty much immediately agreed to go -- even though I was in the midst of finishing my homework.

it's been a long time since I've attended any homosexual community activities and the first time I've attended one in southern california. It was almost strange, not seeing the same faces again, but that thought was only fleeting in my head.

one of the interesting things about going to unpublicized teen to mid-twenty age group gay events [as opposed to publicized ones like the gay pride parade or the gay pride festival... etc] is the amount of good-looking people present. it was amazing how many clean-cut, perfectly pristine and trendy looking males were squished into that dance hall. there were actually very few drag queens for the amount of people present, most of them being performers for the night. Those who were dressed up were even more beautiful than most girls I've seen at clubs. Everyone looked so happy, and people are so outwardly friendly. (excluding the catty bunch that was in front of us in line) All night long I kept thinking "damn you beautiful people and your perfect hair and perfectly sculpted body face and eyebrows living this beautiful life..."

maybe i'm strange, or perhaps desensitized from my highschool years of being around gay people and the gay community and whatnot, but seeing two guys hold each other or kiss each other to me seems just about the same as any other type of couple, be it male female, female female, transgender male, etc... one of the people who came was extremely uncomfortable with the scene and it made me wonder: is this behavior truly that deviant of sociatal rules? or is my friend is just a tiny bit homophobic? :shrug:

perhaps it's both. it's not really my job to judge that.

11 have spoken

Just to give you a little insight into the Christian point of view (or at least THIS little Christian's point of view) ( dun - dun - dun!!!!)

I believe that homosexuality is a sin...eh peh peh! before you go off on hardcore conservative Bible-belt Baptist bashing, you have to keep in mind that there are MANY sins in this world, and ALL of us are sinners. Lying, cheating, wishing someone dead...you get the idea, are all sins.
I accept homosexuality in someone like I'd accept the way my friend likes to speed on the freeway. It's a part of who they are, and though I believe it's a sin, that person is no different from me. It's unfortunate when people enjoy their ignorance and give everyone else a bad name.

Yay! We need more allies like you! I could kiss you, but I'm sure you'd rather I send one of my gay brothers in my stead ;)

My 3 guy friends and I went to a gay club inadvertently over Spring Break, and it was so much fun.
You're so right about the trendiness, too, there weren't any of the dirty sketchy weirdos you see at regular clubs, and my ass didn't even get grabbed once while I was dancing.
That's always nice.

My friends were cool enough, although they danced a little closer to me than usual. One of them said "Wow. I've never seen so many gay people that could all beat the crap out of me!"

Of course, we're theatre people, so we're used to that sort of thing.

hhhmmmm.... i not use to the gay and lesbian commun , and im really uneasy when around them . i think its cause my dad beat it into my head that it was wrong , but at the same time i think why try and stop people from doing what they want to do . i would hate it if some one came up to and beat me up , yelled crude and ugly words just cuz i draw anime alot . im trying to open up to accepting that its part of our world but it gonna take a very long time .

oh and go see "Resident Evil" it a great movie :)

I have no problems what so ever with the gay/lesbian community, my aunt is and i love the woman to death (especially since she's taking me to china w/ her and her g/f and my little cousin) =) lol but dang, you're the only person I know who does fun stuff like this, that's it I'm visiting you!! (heh, would try to call but odds are I can get a hold of you better this way TeeHee...)

no, its not just you. i've never seen two guys make out in real life, but when i did, it wasn't that bad.

but those hot boys... they were something...

Lucky you. I've never had the pleasure of going to a gay club...interesting that Dave would go. I've haven't seen a gay couple in so long.

i'm pretty cool with the gay community. but two guys/girls hookin up isn't something you see everyday. it does put me in a different surrounding and i'm a bit uneasy at first site of it, just cause it's not what i'm used to.
i'd paralell it with coming home and the furniture's all rearranged. you're kinda taken by surprise for a bit, but once it sets in yer ok... that's me
