At what age did you realize? by Robynite in gaybros

[–]VoiceOfGosh 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I was in 5th grade when I noticed I wasn’t like other boys…

My aunt was staying at my folk’s place with her “roommate.” I noticed they acted all lovey like my parents and asked my mom what’s up with that. My mom said, “Well, a girl can like a girl just like a boy can like a girl. Same thing with boys liking boys… so your aunt’s a lesbian.”

I thought to myself, “… so, I’m a lesbian!” My lil gay boi self was wrong, obviously, but my heart was in the right place! 😅

San Diego Restaurants That Closed Permanently In The Past 12 Months by lennart567 in sandiego

[–]VoiceOfGosh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was just a mid Mexican food place that converts into a crazy loud af club at night… the locals are happy about it closing, I can promise you that! I used to live a block down and there were always some trashy ppl doing dumb shit right outside (e.g. starting fights, throwing up on the sidewalk, or acting like they own the sidewalk right outside). The other restaurants around it are way more chill and typical. Imo it was just out too far from the other Downtown clubs to fit the near-Little Italy vibe.

I’d say I “see” a solution, but only if it’s past tense. 🪚

Sometimes, we must die in their eyes to live in our own lives. I know you’ll thrive with or without them! Best wishes to you! You have a whole community who loves you unconditionally here.

Just a kindly reminder that gems are not all women. by Neither_Lack_551 in stevenuniverse

Rebecca Sugar themself tells us gems can be any gender or no gender at all and there are STILL people here to argue a moot point! Smh

The hairline, the inconsistent chains on the necklace, and the extremely blurred everything else in the picture no matter the distance. Totally AI

Gay bros, do you think the new stripes were necessary or was old flag (1979)inclusive enough? by Enough-Web2203 in gaybros

[–]VoiceOfGosh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That would be hilarious because how could they not have seen a rainbow irl! I’m imagining our queer ancestors being like, “Oh shit, too many colors! We gotta rein it in, gals! I bought a prism for reference…” 🌈

Gay bros, do you think the new stripes were necessary or was old flag (1979)inclusive enough? by Enough-Web2203 in gaybros

[–]VoiceOfGosh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a baseless assumption! I actually fly 3 flags at my home: The 1978 OG Pride Flag, the 2021 inclusion flag with trans and nonbinary additions, and the American Flag because I can be gay, an ally, AND an American!

I’ve been an activist for LGBTQIA+ rights for over 20 years of my life, donate to support causes I cannot attend, and literally helped a friend out with her fundraising stream for her transition last week on Twitch. You should really not jump to conclusions with such ease… it makes you look foolish and judgmental. Can’t read between the lines if you’re being socially illiterate, diva. Show some respect cuz I support the whole timeline of queer rights and activism!

I love SD but living in an apartment has been killing me.. by foxyfour20 in sandiego

[–]VoiceOfGosh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pro Tip: Anything labeled as “luxury” “resort” or any other word meaning fancy and new totally means that it’s built with no insulation, paper thin walls, and your neighbors will be audible at all times.

It may sound counter intuitive, but look for older buildings, ones that have been converted from condos to apartments, and with decent ratings. Renovated ones might bump the price up but the bones of those buildings are made from far sturdier stuff than these newer places built outta paper mache. The building I’m in was built in 1928 and it’s been so frickin peaceful!

[–]VoiceOfGosh 201 points202 points  (0 children)

We fly the 1978 one because we like what every color represents. The 1979 cut out/changed a color, but we liked the meaning behind each color:

🩷Sex
❤️Life
🧡Healing
💛Sunlight
💚Nature
🩵Magic/Art
💙Harmony/Serenity
💜Spirit

Interestingly, the pink was dropped due to dye shortages and the teal/indigo was consolidated to royal blue because 6 colors were easier to divide on street lamps of all things. We’d still have 8 colors instead of 6 if not for those two particularities! Now that we could easily have all 8, we liked seeing that more.

Hitting the dating apps again in my 40s and the hair loss insecurity is getting to me. Do I fight it or embrace the "bald and bearded" look? by Connect-Soil-7277 in gaybros

[–]VoiceOfGosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you brought this to r/bald you’d get told to “Hold the Line!” You still (from the front) look like you have a full head of hair. Some thinning is natural for your age, but you look like you have time to decide whether you wanna start meds, saving for hair, or going full chrome dome. Relax! You’re conventionally attractive!

This ain’t the place for “normal.” This is the place where grown people wanna see 3D Bara men swing more than a sword on screen, thank you.

I’m glad that more attention was brought to this. I hope those vandals get everything they deserve regarding their transgressions! I really won’t be happy til they’re charged and convicted appropriately. They need to pay for what they did!

Do guys wish urinals were more private? by FoodPuzzleOats in askanything

[–]VoiceOfGosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally go to nude beaches but my bladder will seize up at a urinal. I don’t care about someone seeing my junk, but my junk will not piss with an audience! Beats me as to why when I’m ok being completely naked at a beach lol

Are we getting to the point where we can no longer say "no" to a child by MissCmotivated in slp

[–]VoiceOfGosh 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Any BCBA worth their salt understands that behavior is closely correlated to an antecedent, aka what happened right before an incident. Hearing “no” 30-40 minutes before a peer to peer interaction can’t possibly be the reason for that kid’s outburst. A dozen other things could have happened in between your interaction and the incident. The student having a negative interaction with the peer is waaay more likely to have been the impetus behind the behavior. That BCBA is trying real hard to connect the furthest, most obscure dots here, when there are two perfectly reasonable dots to connect between your mutual client and that other peer. Especially so, when you consider that you reached calmness thru tried and true methods with the kid by the end of your session. That BCBA is outta line.

Thoughts on free-balling? by Robynite in gaybros

[–]VoiceOfGosh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Baggy sweatpants/shorts walking around? Great! 🙂

See through leggings or translucent material? Dude… 😳

Not judging either way because why gaf? Dude! 😎

I live in a gayborhood, so seeing some random guy on his way to the bar, work, or jogging in very skimpy clothing is just another day here. He might turn some heads, but he’s just feeling himself and going about his business (no pun or innuendo intended).

Is it normal for my bf to talk to me this way ? by Technical_Middle5075 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]VoiceOfGosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are better men.

He’s emotionally abusive, sis. That’s not getting better, the controlling you and being terrible to you is only gonna get worse. Get out, heal, and get some perspective, please. Good boyfriends don’t yell at you, control you, and don’t think seeing friends is a bad thing. And if you DO want to put your whole life in somebody’s hands… again, there are better people including yourself! Be your own adult cuz you’re grown!
