Haha, well atleast i'm not alone in THAT sorta "odd-ballishness". My cousin is a lesbian. She actually had the "balls" to come out tho. Did so the week my grandma died. I was thinking there would be a HUGE stink over it all, but everyone was surprisingly understanding. Just lots of talks WAY into the wee hours of the morning. All my cousin's love to talk to her Girlfriends too. I think the only person in my family that doesn't know is my Grandpa. No one will talk about it around him, nor let him know. It's just sorta an "understood" thing to not tell him, I guess. Cuz, everytime it comes up and he's within a few rooms away you get these very weird eye looks which are basically telling you to ****! We're not sure how he would take it, but we really don't want to take that chance.

You know. It's okay for some people not to know. I've got a couple of uncles that would freak out and stuff. Even though I firmly believe that if they can't accept it, **** 'em, it's better not to cause problems. I have a gay cousin as well, a ****ing cool guy, but I don't see him around "the family" that much. Oh well, I'm sure he has better things to do anyway, but you get my point.

What can I say? I live in the South, and for some reason, I love it.

Yeah, I live in GEORGIA! I LOVE GEORGIA! Haha, It's weird. Most gay people or non-christian-conservative people would never move down South, but i'm like you. I LOVE THE SOUTH! I love the charm and history of it. Espically places like Savannah and the old plantations and Oak Laden drives with moss and stuff. Ahh! So pretty...I wished I could get married on a Plantation.

GAHHH!!! SOOO PRETTY....
 
The south is a very beautiful region, with vibrant culture and history, at various points I've considered moving there. Then I got obsessed with "midnight in the garden of good and evil" and it just got worse... maybe if it's still preserved when I'm older...

What's the "Midnight in the garden of good and evil"?
 
It amazes me that the people who don't live in the south think it's beautiful and great. Yet, people like me that live in the south (Louisiana) are not quite awe stuck by it. Believe me, if you stay here a couple summer nights you'll get tired of the swarms of man-eating mosquitos!
Though I digress. It is a beautiful region and I'm lucky enough to live less than a mile from a 200 year-old plantation.

Yeah, that's the main thing I hate about the South. The bugs and the summers. Other than that...it's GREAT! Got any pictures of the near-by Plantation? I LOVE old southern sceneary.

That's a town near where I live in Georgia. Over 71 Planations around.

P.S. Another great thing about the South. Lots of cute boys with nice Southern Accents! :D

A book/movie that takes place in New Orleans? Never read or seen it. Just heard about it.

Yeah. The heat and mosquitos suck, no pun intended, but I dunno. I born here, and was raised for most of my life here. I love it here. Then again, I'm still dilluding myself that Southern Chivalry still exists. Maybe it's a good thing that it doesnt. I remember reading the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and my teacher talking about how much Twain hated Southern Chivalry and thought it was frivolous, and for some reason, that made me sad, as if there was still a chance of becoming a Southern Gentleman, smoking a pipe in my white linen frock suit. Oh well. I can still dream. The Old South still exists in my imagination.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I wished the whole "Southern Gentleman" thing was still around. I still think that "Southern Gentlemen" exist, just not like they were back then. Sorta, a new "breed" I guess you'd say. Surprisingly, one thing that hasn't really been mentioned yet....SOUTHERN FOOD! Haha! That's almost the best thing of the South. Some cornbread, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, etc. Ain't no meal on Earth quite like Sunday Dinner...
 
Well, being from Louisiana, I believe I was born to eat. That's my purpose in life. I guess there was just too much extra food, and they needed someone to eat it all, so they just had a couple of kids. My grandma and mother's purpose in life is to feed me. Just thinking about makes me seriously consider, even at this time of the night, climb in my car and make a trip to my grandma's. That woman can cook.

I may have to make a trip out there this weekend.

It's a SOUTHERN GRANDMA! Best cooks on Earth! They can have their Emril and their Fancy Dancy stuff. I'll take some good ole' down home southern cooking from a good southern Grandma ANYDAY over other stuff. *drools* Gawd! I want some ho-cakes right now with Chicken & Dumpling sauce. *jaw drops* :eek:

This must be a Louisiana thing, b/c it's the same way with my family. Grandmaw makes a huge souther dish and everyone comes over. Things are done differently in the south.

BTW: I'm a southern gentleman ;)

Oh-is it a party? Can we make hors d'oeuvres? We need food too! :)

So I was watching some show on Discovery Channel or something, and they were interviewing a fighting cock farmer and he was talking about something that intrested me a lot.

He said that the Cajun people have a culture created out of pain, and struggles, and strife, and heartache, and all around bad stuff. They are a traditionally poor people. He said that we have learned to find out fun. We find it in the simple things in life (food, music, booze, cock fights) which is why we do them up so much. That is our entertainment. We are a simple people with simple pleasures, that put a lot of passion into everything we do.

Which is why I am proud to be a Southerner, more precisely, I'm proud to be a Cajun.

Oh sir. Cher is so not in. It's all about Britney and the Scissor Sisters now.

Rainman: Thanks!

Your going to HELL if you like Britney Spears. Britney Spears is SATAN! :D

I'm personally straight, but I have a lot of bi/gay/lesbian friends. Hell, my girlfriend is bi.

Some Southerners are cool, while some others in the DEEP South are just rednecks. Git-R-Done!

I have to agree! Here's one homo who can't stand Britney, Christina, Justin or any of the other manufactured divas/popstars. Although, I have to say Scissor Sisters make me giggle. :)

Wow, lots and lots of gays...

I've been reading these forums since I discovered the joys of Apple products a few years ago, and I've been wondering how many gay Mac users there really are. Now I know, and man, it gives me the warm fuzzies to read all these good natured posts. I live in the northeast, (Jersey to be exact-the blue states as a religious zealot co-worker of mine would say), but I've never been a very social type of person to begin with, and haven't really gotten to interact with a lot of other "family" members. Sad as it is, I guess interacting with other gays on the computer is close enough. So, hello everyone!!

By the way, I drive a solid gold mini cooper. Is that a gay car? :confused:

Yea Jersey-born and raised (and then hightailed it to massachusetts ;-)). Obvious joke, but you could go hang out with our former governor if you want to meet some "family" in Jersey!

I have to say, I am surprised no one else used the word "family" yet in that context. Is it a northeast thing or do gay communities everywhere use it? Is it an older phrase? I ask because we tossed it around a lot in college, but I never really hear it these days. Once I did have this dykey woman beg me for a ride somewhere after asking me if I was family...but she's probably the last person to say it to me until now. Hmmm.
