Well, I've met my gay recruitment quota for the month.

Re: Zen, does this mean the straight girl who got
me to read that first Mulder/Krycek slash fic can
collect points? I’ll have to let her know. Is there
a chart, how many points can she get for all the
women she turned into slash addicts before she got
around to me? Should this be in that other thread?

New to the boards, is happy rainbow vibes a vB
code command? :smiley:

good luck :slight_smile:

Much rainbow coloured fabulousness to la diva nostra. You go, (andy)girl!

sigh I remember the first authentic gay homosexual I met, way back when I was just a nervous little faglet just spreading my wings. She was a very large and intimidating grrl named Randi, whom I recognized by her little rainbow maple leaf. She was very kind and explained to me where the gay group met. Whatta grrl!

Why, my fruit fly hath forsaken me! I’d be more than happy to take up the slack should any or all not be able to fulfil their duties. Don’t worry, i’ll be gentle!
And, Happy rainbow fruity vibes to ya, Andy.

You need to start a new thread, “Ask the Lesbian Girl!” to parallel Esprix’s threads. (Or is there one? I’m too lazy to search right now)

Now that I think about it…“Lesbian Girl” is a little redundant. But, oh well.

Resource room? Explain, por favor.

Good luck and best wishes to your friend. Hope she gets everything sufficiently figured out.

DRA meeting? Okay, this is something new to me.
I really was raised by lesbians, and I have a wide range of friends, but I have no clue about that.
You would think after being around all spectrums like I have for the past 17 years or so, that I might have heard but I haven’t.
As you can tell this has really got me interested. I thought I was fairly well-rounded when it came to knowing different stuff.

Hmm . . . will have to do something about that.

Um, I choose matt_mcl. I’m straight, but damn he’s hot! :slight_smile:

[sub] Aw geez, between this and the email I sent him (to which he never responded! :growl:), he’s gonna think I’m stalking him…[/sub]

Doob- forgive me? You can have first crack.

DRA= Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance. We have a room full of gay books and stuff that we call the resource room.

Um… Go big Green. Yeah.

I’ve been depressed all day, and I finally figured it out.

I want to tell Liz a bunch of things. I want to sit her down and say, “It’s not so bad, really. You lose some friends, your parents most likely will get over it… girls are nice and soft and good kissers. If you say you’re bi, people will call you lots of things that aren’t true. You’re going to tell people, and it’s going to suck for awhile. It gets better.”

I want her to avoid the things that she can’t possibly avoid, because coming out and figuring that you’re a deviant is so damn hard.

Every time this happens, I want to explain what’s ahead so that they can avoid the worst. And they never do, because there isn’t any way to.

I felt like I had been punched in the gut when she said, “This is so weird. I’ve always been so secure. Why is this happening to me when I’m 19?”

Okay, that was entirely too depressing. I’m going to go to bed.

I hope your friend realizes how very lucky she is to have your loving friendship…as are we all.

I really didn’t mean to be so depressing last night. Just one of those things.

Anyway, I saw questioning girl again today. I think she’s on her way to being a happy, well-adjusted skirt chaser.

Now if I could set her up with one of those DRA girls… :wink:

Thank you for answering that for me.

My moms’ girlfriend had a hard time with her parents but it all worked out and actually we are closer to her parents than we were to my step-fathers parents.
But I do know what you mean by wanting to tell them the pit falls before they happen.
One of my guy friends finally came out to his parents after they tried nastily to out him for a few months. I tried so hard to tell him that it would all be okay in the end, but it would suck at the moment.
Right now they call him to tell him not to bother comming around for holidays and birthdays. His mom is starting to come around, but his macho father and brother would rather threaten him than look at him.
I hate seeing the hurt in his eyes. He spends holidays with us, or his ex-girlfriend. She was pretty cool in the fact that she was the only woman he had ever been with, and when they broke up he told her a few months later that he was attracted to men.
She and her family still adore him and ask him over for family functions all the time. That’s one cool chick if you ask me. I was so worried that she was going to flip on him. I mean that would be kinda hard for some people to take. The only woman he has ever been with and then he goes to dating men.
The other thing that upsets me also is that fact that when he realised that this is what he wanted he went overboard. I had suggested that he take things slow, and he jumped in over his head. He has since calmed down, but it was scary there for a while.

Another useful piece of advice you might want to mention is that women can be just as treacherous as men when it comes to relationships.

I had a friend in college who came out (to herself and others) and, giddy in her newfound identity, began dating a woman who shortly thereafter broke her heart into little pieces. I remember her sobbing: “Women are shits!”

YMMV, of course (mine certainly has :)).

Congratulations: you’re the proud mother of a bi (until further notice) girl:) Many happy returns and suchlike:)

And some day, my dear, we will have to figure out why you sound so much like me:)

::gives andygirl a kiss (fake, or not, depending)::

I hate being a wet blanket, but you have apparently just set the groundwork for conversion. No actual conversion has taken place so no toaster should be awarded at this time. Please get back to us with documentation, preferably in video or photographic form, when the actual conversion has taken place.

Sorry for getting technical, but there have to be standards.

I’m rather confused about his whole “conversion” thing here. I work under the assumption that folks’ sexual preferences are largely, if not entirely, inborn.

Ot it could just be thatI just don’t get the joke (except the toaster oven part…I saw that one)

If I had the option of “converting” someone, why would I want to? To my understanding, not to mention my firm preconvictions, the whole right-Christian thing about converting gay men to straight by way of Jesus is hogwash, and potentially evil hogwash at that.

So WT you should forgive the expression F? Conversion? Seduction? Liberation? Of just more damn soap opera?

Bingo!

Y’see, it’s funny because of the notion some right-wingers have that there’s a “homosexual agenda” to “recruit” young people to a “homosexual lifestyle.” So when a friend wants to talk to andygirl about her dawning realization that she might not be straight, it’s amusing for andygirl to say that she’s got a chance to “convert” her and get her toaster oven.

I think this might also be irony, but I’d have to ask Alanis Morissette to be sure.

(Did I get enough quotation marks in there? Good.)

Why convert?!? Heck, convert 'em all! There can never be too many men with a sense of color! :wink:

Besides, have you seen the prices of toaster ovens these days?

dropzone-

again with you damn breeders reading the manual wrong. Now I don’t know how you went and got a copy, but don’t criticize my ways!

Look, under section 105, subrule 19, it specifically states that the preferred end to lesbian/bi woman recruting for the female deviant is hot girl on girl action.

However, subrule 20 says that if one is in a loving, monogamous relationship such as I am in, then the recruiter can state conversion at their discretion.

My dear dropzone, if you had seen that smoldering, lesbian lust-bunny filled look she gave our waitress… you would not be in doubt.

I’m a professional. Do not question my methods.

Elucidator- they only think that I’m kidding.
