Gay men or women who play D&D

Re: World's gayest musical

It was an incredible experience. At the end, much of the audience was on their feet clapping, singing and dancing. There's just something eternally appealing about Mamma Mia, Super Trouper, white spandex and platform soles.

Nah, it's just you Aussies seem to have some amazing fixation on 'em. I mean, the three films I most associate with Australia are "Muriel's Wedding", "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" and "Mad Max". ABBA's all over those films. And I'm sure 'Waterloo' is probably playing on the cruiser's radio in the last one, so there you go.

At the risk of sounding REALLY Gay (well, we all know THAT possibly cant happen can we?), i love ABBA and the ATeens too. Then again i have a thing for sweedish bands, Robyn, Cardigans, etc etc etc

Re: Out loud and Hobbit!

Hey gang!I'm bumping this thread as we have a lot of new members who may be interested.
Argent.

not a new member. but i missed this the first time.

i didn't read more than the first post on the previous 3 pages.

i'm straight. married. and christian. but yes, i know several gaymers. 4 of 8 in one group. 1 of 6 in a different group. and 4 of 10 in my current group.

 

[Angelsboi]

4 of ten?? Good lord Diaglo who?

You have Shayne, Glenn (DM), You, Myself, Sean, Sam, Yourself, David (Timmay) and Marty ...

Only SHayne, Sean and myself are gay ... Unless you count Randy but the hubby stopped gaming until he finishes training for Wachovia ...

And i cant believe we have 9 people. *smacks head*

But we mesh together so well ... and Sam does have a habbit of not showing sometimes ...

 

[Angelsboi]

Funny ... I was re-reading the first page and damn, that was after i broke up with Brian and just before i found Randy.

Ok so hes not pagan, but he is nice and has been the ever supportful hubby and tried RPing at our game.

I'd just like to raise my hand and say me too...

Waitaminute... I guess I just got caught up in the thread. I'm not really gay.

But I see your point. I do belong to another subculture of sorts -- I'm Mormon, and in my experience, a lot of folks seem to think Mormons are a lot of real weirdos for some reason. Although I tell myself I'm being stupid for doing so, I tend to keep that relatively quiet unless someone asks me directly about religion, because I don't want to a) end up on the dissecting table as everyone tries to "figure me out" or b) get marginalized within the group as the "weirdo" who stands out.

Not that I have a real concrete fear of either of those things happening, but I tend to avoid putting myself in a position where either of them are a possibility as well. When I really think about it, I know I'm being silly and I shouldn't even give it a second thought -- and I don't really, because my reacions are more subconscious than conscious.

josh i am sure you would have been highly entertained by the irish fellow (an OLDER man) who took time to explain to me that mormons run vegas and the bureau of indian affairs o a train ride in london.

he had several interesting theories

 

[Desdichado]

See, that's exactly why, subconsciously, I tend to not bring it up unless someone asks me directly about religion.

Alright, you can add me to the list as well.

I have to mention our Yahoo Group, Gaymers. It has been a very good, nurturing, protective, enlightening, helpful group that all of the members have really enjoyed. We are just a group of everyday joes and jills, and it's been great being able to debate the whole gaming experience from a gay angle. I would highly recommend the group to anyone posting here that might be interested. They're a good group of people.

On a related note, there was some talk on the list that there might be a get together this year at Origins and at Gen Con. I, for one, will not be able to attend either, but I think it's a fantastic idea that is long overdue. A legitimate get-tegether could go a long way to alleviating the percieved tensions of gays in the gaming world, and bring us all closer together. There are a lot of gay folk out there that don't have the mature groups some of us have spoken about on this board, and connecting with others could be a good thing to keeping them playing games.

Just my two cents!
