Gilhooly- Are you REAL?
#11
I grew up an hour away from New York and still go there relatively often. NYC isn't as "unfriendly" as it is "intense". Perhaps even a bit "uptight". But I wouldn't say unfriendly. Everyone is trying to do their own thing and do it in a timely manner. It's a different pace of life, which some people may or may not understand.

"New Yorkers are open minded not like Michele Bachmann and you homophobes from Minnesota. You think it's funny that their are clusters of gay suicides where you grew up/"

You send me an infarction for saying that people from New York are generally unfriendly.

:o

Yes Gilhooly is for real.

I strongly suggest you drop this conflict and pull him to the side and have a serious talk. Yeah I know the 'old guy' appears crazy, (appearances are deceiving) but he has a lot to teach LGBT people about life.

I respect the man because he has deep insight to what it was like to be gay in the times before me. His anecdotes show great wisdom if you read them. No he does not pull punches, but he is a decent, honest fellow that you, young Johnny would do well to learn from and not oppose.

I know you are into older guys - this is what being with an older guy is like - you get hard core realities, deep lessons learned from long life. Just because you have this issue with New York does not preclude you from being very nice to Gil.

I hope you find a guy just like Gilhooly to be a mate with - the guy has got a lot to give a person, and won't take shit from an upstart such as yourself and will mentor you in a way that most youth today actually need.

What you have is a tit for tat situation. You dared to make a generalization about the people of New York - he punished you for that. In the olden days (back when I was a kid) we were punished for bullshyt statements, not coddled and given 'explanation'.

YOU Johnny, has the thing for older guys, this is what you get when you deal with older guys. Don't like it then stick to the namby pampy 21st century youth that you are surrounded with who will coddle your 'feelings' and not treat you like a real man.

Gil is real - very real - perhaps more real with you than I am. What you do not appear to understand is you need your arse seriously planned from time to time, and those who step up to the plate and call you on your shyt are actually doing you a fucking favor not an injustice.

You would be very wise to learn from Gil.

Actually it has been for a long time this way. There is no way you can put a whole bunch of queers in the same room and not have drama.:tongue:

Drama and queers is as common as hydrogen and oxygen bonds on earth (water)...... :biggrin:

I had a message from Gilhooly earlier this year and I think he's on my friends list... if that helps.

Bowyn and Vigilias are right. John (Gilhooly) is for real. He's an older member of this site and always has some rather interesting things to say for whoever can be patient enough and tolerant enough to read him. He may fly off the hook sometimes and berate others and the government and recent events, but it's all in the light of some golden time that he once knew to be more gay-friendly (at least, I think that's what I've understood from talking to him). I think he misses those by-gone days of personal freedom and love.

No disrespect to you, Arkansota, nor to your states. What John says may have a point if you've not misread him. There's no need for any insults either from him to you or from you to him, as it won't solve anything. Just agree to disagree? That would be my suggestion. Both of you, take care. We could do with more loving in this world.
