I really like both Queen Grimhilde and Mally, but I would have to say I'm a bigger fan of the Disney prince boys myself than any other group.

Why no mention of Lady Tremaine?

So, the word Fabulous, who here uses it? What are your thoughts of the word and how it's associated (if at all) with the gay community?

Well, I mentioned her as one of my faves back about 4 posts. And I say FABULOUS all the time, never really associated the word with the queer community but I think actually it's more the way the word's said rather that the word itself.

So you did, sorry about that I think I skipped most peoples posts once I saw the names, with yours I saw Maleficent, the Evil Queen and Cruella but didn't really glance at the rest of it

Anyways, for live action characters it's the Sanderson sisters all the way for me, it really doesn't matter which one because I love them all. I'd love to play one of them if it was possible.

I'm actually surprised they didn't try using a drag queen--she is based on one.

And I think it goes without saying that Ursula's my favorite. Lady Tremaine is second. The rest don't do enough for me (Cruella's close, but she doesn't get enough screen-time, imo).

carolinakid · Post by **carolinakid** » Wed Nov 05, 2008 9:45 am

Yes, I always thought Ursula would work with a queen in the role ala Edna Turnblad in Hairspray. Completely believable as a woman to me! Cruella too!

I don't use it because of it's gay connections (I feel like I'm enforcing a stereotype) and because their are superior words to use such as:

Freakin' Sweet/Awesome
Awesome
Fantastic
Fantasmic! (as a Disney fan should rightfully use)
Epic
Epic Win
Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious
Dociousaliexpisticfragicalirupus

and any other outrageous combinations like:

Stupendeouslyfantasmagorical

As for Lady Tremaine, she's just too awful for me to love like those other Disney bitches.

I'm gay but I haven't officially came out to anyone in my life due to fear of rejection. I was pretty unhappy with my life because I had to restrain myself from things I would enjoy to satisfy others. My sister had some relationship problems with this guy she liked and went to a psychic for some advice and there were some dead on predictions. She was so amazed that the psychic managed to predict a deep family secret coming to surface for her co-worker that she suggested that I gave it a try. I'm usually iffy about these sort of things but my personality was accurately described in an instant. I asked if I was going to be in a serious relationship and was told that someone from work was interested in me. What made me went on cloud nine was when she gave me the initials and a brief description of him...I actually had a crush on this guy before all of this. I'm not the most sociable person in the world and the psychic told me that he has made some attempts to get to know me and I pushed him away. The thing that's concerning me is that the guy has such a poker face and I can't tell if he is even gay. What do you guys think I should do?

Chernabog_Rocks · Post by **Chernabog_Rocks** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 6:47 am

Honestly I kind of laughed at the first mention of the psychic, I find it hard to believe however personal opinons on them aside.

If you have pushed him away it's most likely because as you said your not sociable. Secondly you never know until you talk to him, don't come right out and ask that could end very badly and awkwardly. Try getting to know him as a friend first and go from there would be the best way I think. Eventually if he is he will open up to you.

Welcome, isn't the air outside the closet very refreshing?

You should never have to hold yourself back just to make others happy. If these other people are family or friends they should put your happiness before their own satisfaction. If they have a problem it's their problem and they have to suck up their big kid panties and deal with it.

I'm just guessing but I think your not sociable because you've had to restrain yourself. Let loose, have fun, live life the way you want to not the way others want you to.

Hope this helps

Oh believe me, I was thinking "oh it's all a scam" before I tried it. To be honest, I'm like 70% in believing her but the predictions made for my sister and her co-worker were correct, which seems credible. I'm exercising caution though in case my hopes get shattered.

There were some instances where I would talk to him but I would go blank and have nothing to talk about. Part of it is nerves and part of it is thinking that I have nothing to related about with him. Basically, this is how I am with most people. I'm usually more sociable when I'm joking around but that is usually with people I've known for years. I'm making an effort to talk to him but our work schedules don't work in that favor.

I know I shouldn't hold myself back but I can't bear the consequences if I did come out. Right now the timing is pretty bad due to a lot of negative stuff in my family. As of now I'm more focused on getting to know this guy more and see where it goes from there. Thanks for the advice.

Disney Duster · Post by **Disney Duster** » Tue Nov 11, 2008 2:45 pm

I don't like to believe in them either, Chernabog, but Basilisk makes me half believe it, too. Sometimes I think believing in something helps it happen, though. Like he wouldn't end up talking to that guy unless he believed. But anyway, let us know how it goes, Basilisk!

I've wanted to say something in here for a while. There's this book by Robert Trachtenberg called When I Knew about, well, people knowing when they were gay when they were young, covering girls as well as boys. And some of the entries I remember while reading it in a book store were, paraphrasing, like "I didn't want to play games like the other boys. My dad asked me what I wanted to do. I said I wanted to pick flowers. And we spent the whole afternoon in the fields, picking flowers" and "I was putting on my mom's shoes and gloves, acting like Marilyn Monroe in a mirror, when my mom walked by, so I said "To the Batcave, Batman!" Things like that. And I realized...

...according to some of you on here, those entries shouldn't even be in the book, because those things don't help reveal you're gay or have anything to do with being gay. Well F you for that! Perhaps these entries were not the real instances that the people knew they were gay, they don't say any more...but these entries have every right to be in there. I'm sure the author didn't put the quotes down in a way that was not okay with the authors of the quotes, to be in thise book about knowing when you were gay...and if it's not about the exact thing that let's you know, it's about hints to it. The quoted considered it part of their gayness.

Me and Tim were talking about how I wondered if my friend was gay (before now, he's out) but what threw me off was he liked horror movies. But Tim said he liked them too, and he pointed out other gay male members on here do. But I talked about how he liked more older, campy, supernatural horror, not the gorey, slashing, boob-showing ones. Just so you know, Tim likes Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, too. But I came to thinking that straight guys must like the slasher end of horror because straight boys, or just boys, are supposed to like violence, and be violent, aggressive. It might even be biologically in those testosterone filled straighties. Is it in all boys...? But anyway, the filmakers must add the female nudity to please the audience of straight males that usually like this kind of thing. Or maybe it's deeper. Maybe straight guys like the idea of coming at a naked woman with a knife, and plunging it in...

I like connecting to other gay guys in being gay, talking about more than just what guys are cute, and you know, I could talk to a straight girl about cute guys, even though it would be different and feel less special than talking to another fellow gay guy like me about that. Yea, sex stories will be different and what happens to us down there... but we're finding these other connections and you just want to ignore them?

We're not connected in any way! Right...

And yet gays like Sweeney Todd, Dusty

I like some horror movies (mainly the Universal monster ones) but the reason i prefer the older ons to newer ones is most recent horror films are just stupid and pointless beyond belief with dull characters and pointless excessive gore (anything with Jason for example).

and just to throw this out there, I have absolutely no clue where I fall on the "gay spectrum" (if there's a political spectrum there can be a gay one too). My only OGT seems to be liking musicals (not recent stuff like Rent but not crappy Judy Garland ones either). Everything else that seems to be commonly related to gays I just can't really get into (Madonna especially, along with any obsession over broads typically associated with gays). even my taste in Disney for the most part isn't terribly gay (see sig). I guess I'd feel more comfortable dating a straight acting guy, but I don't know.

Maybe I'm thinking too much and I should just be grateful if I can get any guy.

I was thinking the same thing.

My problem is that I (for reasons unknown) seem to only get with bi-guys. It's not that i'm not attracted to gay guys, but bisexual men seem to be a lot more straight acting most of the time. The problem however is that with me the last few guys i've liked did like me in return a lot but never wanted a relationship with a man. Needless to say they ended with me being unhappy lol.

I think a lot of femmy guys are way too over the top for me. I could never deal with dating a guy who viewed himself as a woman. I'm interested in men, if i wanted someone who acted like a woman i'd date a real one lol. However I have a few great friends who are very femmy and i love them with all my heart.

That's why I'm dating a straight guy, basically.

At least you guys are finding guys

*sigh* Off to my never ending search.

Disney's Divinity · Post by **Disney's Divinity** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 9:35 am

We're not connected in any way! Right...

I think the only point anyone was trying to make is that not all guys grow up wearing women's clothes and wanting to pick flowers. Maybe you did, but I certainly didn't. And I'm not saying that it's bad that you did, but stop pretending that all gay people act the way you do. Really, the only connection gay people can feel certain they share with each other is the attraction to their own gender. Everything else is up in the air.

But, yeah, I'm not crazy about horror movies. Horror movies and love comedies are almost always so predictably boring.

Oh, and I'm finally transferring to a university next fall--and they have a gay rights club! I think I'll join the moment I walk on campus. Sounds like no big deal to you guys, but I'm kind of in an isolated Bible Belt area.

xxhplinkxx, your most recent post has been removed. I could have simply edited out all of the objectionable language but I don't think the moderators here should have to take the time to edit such extensive profanity. Your post was clearly inappropriate, as should have been apparent before posting it. Please do not let it happen again.

I think that i have now fully come to the realization that I am bi sexual. I have a very strong attraction towards men. Yet there is a girl at my school who I have had a crush on and this girl I met at a party who I am thinking about asking out. I think though my attraction towards men is kinda stronger than my attraction to girls. Theres somthing about a 6 pack that get me really hot. I saw a model standing in an abracrombie when I was in NYC 2 weeks ago. I saw that guy and thought "ohh the things I would do to him in a dimly lit changeroom". And I think thats what finnaly kida admited to my self that im bi. I think i might stick to girls for now at least untill I get to university in 2 years. If anyone has any advice please let me know. Or perhaps I might see one of you guys in the chat and we chould maybe chat about it.

As for the horror movies, musicals, and girs clothes. I really hate horror movies. I love musicals and did dress up in dresses and other girl clothes when i was a child. I grew out of it by grade 1. But I do rember wanitng to play sleeping beauty in jk. I wanted to be arora not the boring prince.
