My boyfriend and I got married after around 3 years of being together! We just went to the courthouse in the area with one of our best friends attending and a judge married us. I was so nervous because as someone living in Georgia, I was still afraid we'd get a judge who'd be... Well, judgemental lol. I mean, we are an interracial gay couple in the South, lol. But he seemed nice. My hands were so sweaty holding his and I was afraid I'd drop our Zelda wedding rings because my hands were shaking a little. Lol.

I totally understand and relate to the uncomfortable feeling with your body. However you look fantastic Kev and you are incredibly attractive . Go and have a great time, just be yourself. Who knows what could happen and ultimately this could be a great experience overall. Excited for you!

Thanks so much Gibbs! I'm such a late bloomer when it comes to this sort of things it's a bit silly to be so anxious and overthink things, lol. You inspire me to be myself dood, so thank you :3

Hey y'all, I've posted here before but mostly a lurker, figured I'd join in and share something. I realise this is a bit random because it's been a while and I only posted here once but tbh I just feel like typing it all out, sharing can be cathartic as heck and I sorta need that sometimes so I hope it's not too annoying lol.

So, my last post was basically about how I finally came to realize I actually am bi by finding myself madly in love with a guy then in a "relationship" in short order. As the quotes may have gotten across though, well, to say the whole thing backfired is an understatement. To be fair, I knew it would probably happen since I was jumping headfirst into some cross-country long distance relationship with no previous experience at all but yeah, shit happened and after a while it was over and I suddenly found myself in a very dark place. This was I think two months ago and it took me a while to claw myself out of the crushing pain and actually feel like living again but I feel like myself once more now. So yeah, back into the fray and also trying to put myself out there and see what happens now that I got a taste of the real thing!

Think I'll try to be more active around these parts, mostly lurk the gaming side but been meaning to change that.

I guess only sad aspect is our families were not there because well.. They are both ultra conservative and religious. So.. Yeah. They actually have no clue we got married yet. My mom definitely doesn't believe gay people should get married, so I knew they wouldn't come anyways.

Picture of our rings if anyone wants to see 'em:

Great news, congrats to both of you Tribal!!

Also, any advice on how to show your interest in someone? I've known this guy from a couple of months now, we've crossed a few words (nothing important though) and I started a chat through messenger with him but mostly about irrelevant stuff

Should I be straightforward and say that he picked my attention? lol

Hi LGBTQ Era, so I figure I can use this as a place to come out to as I only have so many venues to.... I'm super bi! and super gender-queer/non-binary!

LSS, me and my wife, for reasons on each of our sides, decided to transition to a non-sexual partnership. We have a beautiful creative life and practice together and is something that we are dedicated to preserving and helping each other thrive, as well as supporting each other thriving sexually, which we really couldn't do as a couple anymore. Also my psychotic father, who was a major repressive influence in my life and in my mind finally found a way to leave the planet in the past couple months, so its all fitting timing to finally let my inner woman the fuck out.

So it's exciting! And scary! And I have someone who loves me and supports me exploring myself in ways I had really prevented myself in the past. And likewise. So hello!

So... I'm in a weird place. I'm attracted to men. And I realised that recently that I was like... hiding this fact from myself in the past. And I feel weird. Cause I know it's not possible for me to ever even meet a bi or gay guy. My country is quite homophobic. And I'm also rarely a initiator when it comes to dating.

I'm still attracted to women as well even though I'm not good at relationships. I lately thought that maybe I always have known I'm bi and that hidden thought somehow made me always feel like "What if people will find out".

I haven't told anyone this yet. I don't know if I will. But hey, it's not like I hate myself or something. I don't mind being attracted to men. I just... I don't know.

Hah I feel you. Finally accepted my also being attracted to men by falling for a dude a few months ago, took a few decades of my lifetime and then some because I'm usually pretty uninterested in romantic stuff, rarely even feel attracted to people. In hindsight I was semi-consciously repressing that all this time and I hate it, but eventually came to accept it was a byproduct of my being brought up in a very conservative environment and try not to give myself a hard time for it.

Hey guys and girls, would you rather get with a pretty face or a hot body? ( and no "why not both?" gifs are accepted).

Depends if the other feature is merely okay and actually bad. I would prefer a hot body with an ugly face over a pretty face with bad body. Though if the other feature is merely okay and not actively bad then I guess a beautiful face would be my choice.

This summer has shown me I've become a real legs man. All these guys in shorts and white socks are killing me :O.

  • Your sexual orientation? - Bisexual
  • Where Are You From? - Maryland, USA
  • Where Do You Live? - Maryland, USA!
  • How Old Are you? - 20
  • Favorite Type of Music? - I kind of fall in and out of love with music, but I always come back to jazz and hip-hop.
  • Profession or Career interest? - Studying computer science and mathematics
  • Favorite video game(s)? - Hm, recently Yakuza, Spider-Man, Stardew Valley, VA-11 HALL-A to name a few
  • What are your hobbies (other than gaming)? - Reading, running...I don't have time for much else besides those, video games, and homework, as a college student :/
Well I wish I was introducing myself under happier circumstances, but here goes. My girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me. We'd been together since high school. The relationship didn't end in the best way, thankfully it didn't have anything to do with my sexuality at least. I didn't really know, or maybe accept, that I was bi until a few months ago. I think it'll take me a while to want to be with someone else again, but maybe I'd be interested in dating men as well? I don't know. I know my attractions aren't limited to women. I'll use that time to figure it out. I'm trying to stay positive and you all always seemed like such a good community, I guess this was the push I needed to join!

Finally gave in and made myself a tinder profile, let's see how this goes. No real dating experience in my mid-twenties is more than a bit scary in hindsight but hey, gotta start somewhere amirite?

Also wtf I either severely underestimated the amount of gay/bi men in my area or the app just shows me every single lad its algorithm pleases regardless of their orientation. Not like I'm complaining though, I suppose.

I finally confessed to the guy I liked only to find out he has a boyfriend and only saw me as a friend...

I'm pretty bummed right now but it was kind of liberating to tell someone else how I felt. I guess I learned something from the experience.

Hopefully, the next time I'll fall for a single guy...

So, it turns out that a friend's child is a trans boy and he's going to be able to have an early transition. He's 10 and about to start blockers. It's awesome seeing how everything has been pretty much normal in his daily life and school with the social transition at the beginning of the school year since he's always been very boy-ish so it was pretty much just a name/pronoun change with teachers and friends. Great times ahead.

Cheer up! Someone will come eventually

Something like that happened to me. I started talking with someone who didn't know was gay (had my suspiccions) and told him that he attracted, he didn't mind at all but a couple of questions later and I find out that he is in a relationship...

I swear that my luck is the worst...

I'm currently talking to a guy on Grindr who likes everything I like and has a really nice body AND seems to like me and I'm so paranoid that I'm almost sure I'm being catfished.

Yeah, without going into much detail his father is openly bi and open about the fact that he had LTRs with other men before marrying his wife so there has always been queer people with positive role models in the kids life since he was born. He's going to be perfectly fine in that front.

Wow, he's probably secretly a crazy arsonist or some shit like that, just because the universe loves to fuck with people.
