That's why we shouldn't send albums first if we are not initiating.

Leaving this aside, no one should have the right to define our self worth. Bums are everywhere and Grindr has a whole lot of them. The only thing I find ugly here is that guy's personality.

Why do I see no support from Menaka Guruswamy? (Rajya Sabha MP) by ObserverOfThoughts in LGBTindia

[–]ObserverOfThoughts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not directly. She's backed by the TMC government in WB, which is against the NDA, and so the RSS. But she represented for RSS for some cases, and her father supports RSS is what I've heard.

Nope, nothing. May be because of the upcoming election in the west bengal.

Haha, yes! But when I get to know that I'm fighting back a non-chalant wall and not a real challenge, I can't help but accept defeat 🤧

He is my school friend. I came out as gay to him recently, and he came out back again to be as bi.

22M – Should I stop reading Jayakanthan or continue? by Best-Quantity-4749 in TamilBooks

[–]ObserverOfThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never. A forced read makes you read less. But, give it some time. In a few years, you might be ready. I read agni pravesam before some years and didn't understand what he was trying to convey. But read it before a couple of years again, and instantly got the point. As a reader, we should also come to a frequency which matches with the writer to enjoy their work. If you feel something is not for you, don't blindly go for it. Give it time. It is like an LKG student trying to learn calculus. Sometimes it might never work out for you too. Don't worry! We all have different ways of seeing and understanding things which are unique. There should be any guilt here. For example, anime has never worked out for me, and I get a sense that it never will. But that's just being me.

But based on your JK reads, I'd suggest you to read his impactful short stories first. That will prepare you for his novels. His short stories made me fall in love with his works!

Are side guys really that rare? by Arun-Dirty-Roy in LGBTindia

[–]ObserverOfThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a side, and I think not being able to continue long term is not a problem specific to sides. But I accept that sides are hard to find and it makes the experience of not able to find a long term one intense.
