I don't have anything against "flamers" etc. but when I started to come out a couple of years ago I tried meeting other gay people at my school's LGBT center and everybody there was either a crazy activist or had to have crazy pink hair and studs all over their bodies etc. There wasn't anybody who seemed to have any regular interests and who just happened to be gay too. Those people were really nice and everything and again I don't have a problem with them, but I just don't know how to relate to them and honestly I'm just looking for other gay people who like to hang out, have a beer, maybe watch a game or something or hang out etc. without having to act like we're in the middle of a gay pride parade all the time. I know that probably sounds really offensive to some people and I'm sorry because I'm not trying to offend anyone, but it's just that there are some things I can't really talk about with my straight friends and it would be nice to have some gay people I could relate to as friends. It gets really lonely.
