What about coming in to the Diner to see us, Paul?

I have a feeling you might like it there.

Oh, dear me, Mia...

I've visited The Diner once — only recently — and was terrified!

Hmmm. Your offer is tempting, I must admit; and, if I decide in the affirmative, may I bring my riding crop?   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

As it’s my Paper Anniversary today  Cheesy  I guess I’d better say what I think about being on the Forum—just to set the record straight. I must admit, however, that I feel a bit silly doing this, me being one not known to emote at the drop of a hat, so to speak.


Paul, I'm behind in this thread and haven't read your post until now.

Happy Anniversary!!!!


And, that was some post!!!    Shocked Wink

I imagine it took you some time to get it all down, but thank you for doing so. I loved reading it, I found it very ----- you....  Grin  Wink


And what more, I found it all very coherent and understandable!!!   Grin Grin Grin Kiss

funny you should get started on gay kisses.  just last night i was telling a friend i had found a video compilation of 100 gay kisses, and i could think of some not included.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot6VYUdDl0U

turns out there is more than one version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIjmBDHmzSs

i hadn't realized how far we have come since an implied gay kiss on melrose place was a scandal...


Thanks for those links Jack, most enjoyable.

I noticed our boys were among the first clips in the first link.  Anything else would of course have been scandalous!

Today is three years since I first saw the film. That film & short story are a part of me, and will be until the end of my life. I am so grateful about that. The story & the film have both been life-enriching experiences. I can't explain it, but after seeing the film, it sort of put me in a good mood for weeks after ,and I tend to think of myself as a happy person in general, anyway.

Living in a small town where there is still so much suspicion, small-mindedness and sometimes outright hostility, just the act of putting on the DVD seems like a little gesture of defiance. In this town if you are over the age of 25 and unmarried,there has to be something wrong with you. And you know what? It really does not matter what people think.  It has taken time, years, but I like being me. And I feel that I must credit this masterpiece of a film with helping in a small way, in making me feel more comfortable in my own skin. I am going to sit down right now and revisit my favourite film. Thanks to all who were behind the story and the film,and thanks too to all of you on the forum, it is gratifying to know that people are out there listening. People who I just know would understand.

Well, DCF is affecting me this past weekend.

Because of my membership here, I attended the BBQ in Colorado, where I met a number of the BetterMost members.  I joined BetterMost to stay in touch with them, and became friends with Rich (LoneLeeB3) who later "adopted me" as his younger brother.

Rich was just coming out, and worried about how his life would change.

I'm typing this message from his house, which he shares with his partner, Gene.  Things turned out OK for him.
