@raphjd:

You really have a hateful and distorted view of marriage.

In the US, for example, marriage gives you over 1,400 rights/privileges that you do not get otherwise.   European countries have similar things.

Prior to gay marriage in the UK, gay couples were not given the same right to be placed in the same nursing home as hetero married couples.   The same thing with immigration.

Contracts still won't get you anywhere near all the legal rights/privelegs you get under marriage law.

Over 1,400 rights?! Holy shit… I doubt marriages here in Mexico had as many of those.

Guess this is part of why some people don't see relevance on gay marriage.  It depends on the amount of rights marriage has in their own countries.

As for myself, the only thing concerning me regarding gay marriage are inheritances, if I die I wouln't like to have my partner be stripped of our home or money by my own family. (Let's be fair, some families turn their backs on their gay members all their lives, but when they die they come sniffing out for the bucks)

Well...as long as gay couples give legalized marriage its right place, enjoying their rights and understanding their responsibilities, and never taking it for granted as some hetero couples do, I say….let's keep fighting for it.

As a MEXICAN who lives in MEXICO I must say…

This is revolting.

And I'm talking about the students.

Honestly, if some had been brought to USA as children, by now they should be able to become legal citizens.  Why them or their parents never bothered to legalize their status is beyond me. Can someone actually explain how legalization status works?

Here in Mexico we are having a backlash against Trump in the media, newspapers publishing stories of immigrants whose 'American Dreams' were shattered. I only see sloth and self-entitlement.

Also, most of USA seemed to have voted for Trump so they are right to backlash against the students' behavior, after all, the funding comes from taxpayers.

Students need to realize that having access to higher education doesn't make them special, but makes them more indebted to their country and society. Instead of protesting they should be thinking in solutions agreeable to both ends.

This seems nice!  :hug2:

Aww…problem with Mexican foods is that we actually have specialties by region...

I guess Chilaquiles is kinda pan-mexican: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/chilaquiles-verdes-354951

To make it healthier, add some shredded chicken.

(Epicurious is kinda too fancy sometimes, though)

I think I could post our national dish: Chiles en Nogada (Peppers in Nut Sauce) but is not an easy dish, can be quite expensive due to the ingredients (it is here in Mexico) and some are seasonal.

Once a week with normal use.

If you're living the single life, get at least 2 sets of sheets so you can have one ready in case something happens and you can't wash/dry the other.

Pajamas when alone.

Briefs or nude when in company of a guy.  ;D

Ah! The trusty banana…and its bulked up brother the plantain!

Love to eat them.

Sex related stuff? Uh...they're handy when you're learning to put on a condom (Don't trust those cucumbers! No matter how stupid sexy they look! D:< )

@baz:

Yes, I have.

And the bastard had the nerve to say it was unfair for him to have to only sleep with me because he was bisexual.

Holy moly! (Did you punch him in the face? Crushed his balls? That's what I would have done..)

The problem with being in a relationship with a bisexual while you're homo/hetero is that some of them will assume, since they're bisexual, that they have carte blanche regarding sleeping with other people if they are the opposite sex of their partner.  Or that any relationship is an open relationship.

This is an example of the type of relationship not worth to salvage.

What in the Holy Hell….

Axolotls? Those are endangered in the wild....

I think we shouldn't be grossed out.  These animals are sometimes bred to be eaten in their native countries (in the axolotl case, they were a part of the Aztec diet, but considering their endagered status nowadays...)

I agree that when you're hungry and starving, you go for the nearest edible meat.  But in this case is more akin to bragging rights regarding how exotic and rare is your food.

What? I never played any of the 3DS games and I'm prepping for Sun and Moon

Mhmm…

I know...Hunks Workshop which is like a visual novel..

There's also Anaholic from DuddleDee studio, which is more like an RPG.

Greetings from Mexico.

At first I thought it wouldn't be available here, since I haven't heard of it on Mexican news or reports.  All my sources about the medicament have been from the US.  But apparently it is.

At $9,704.00 pesos for 30 capsules…Assuming an average exchange rate of 20 pesos per dollar it would be $485.2 bucks for ya mate, but is very pricey for the average mexican.  Not to mention we don't have medical insurance in the scope you guys do.

Interestingly enough, PrEPs aren't known here.  The best ways to avoid infection are still abstinence and the good ol' condom.

Now, considering that we can't afford it here and up there in the States you have groups of assholes using it as a pretext for not using condoms (while your AIDS organizations have stated it should be used in tandem with condoms, not to mention the fact you need to take it religiously or it loses effect) I daresay I would love to skewer and burn every one and each of those so self-called 'Truvada Whores'.

The answer is within you.

Being honest, coming out is not the same for everyone.  Some have positive experiences while others don't.  Also coming out depends on your sociological background and customs (I would never advice coming out if you're in a country that persecutes and kills gay people)

Though…you can decide to whom you come out.  You don't need to preach your gayness to every person in the street.  A progressive approach to coming out can help you establish a support group of friends in case coming out to your family goes awry.

Also, you're 22.  Probably you're in high school/college.  If you fear your family and friends turning their back on you if you come out (and some will do...and it will hurt like hell...but you'll know who truly loves you no matter who you are) I suggest you work up into getting financially self sufficient first (Having a job that helps you rent a place of your own)

'Valar Morghulis'?! Seriously…

Ahem...I have complex feelings towards tattoos.  As previous posters have stated a discrete one is alright.  Too much ink in a body and I get dizzy.

As GabrielK observed, everyone is sporting one to be cool or edgy.  Yes, there are still people who get tattoos with a real meaning to them and God bless them they will share the story with you.  Unfortunately, that kind of tattoo bearers seem to be dwindling.

I also think tattoos are supposed to be an intimate thing.  So people showing off their chest tattoos or their sleeve ones seem to be crying for attention, IMHO.

@unpleased:

:love: the one in soho :love:

Alas, poor Lois… D:<

Speaking of the Xmen...yes, they have Northstar.  But he has been left in limbo after his wedding...which sucks.

Iceman currently came out of the closet (causing and uproar, remember that male straight geeks are just like their jock counterparts), last thing related to his homosexuality was stepping out from the closet to Anole, a young out of the closet mutant (who happenes to be Northstar's pupil) and that's all, shit is thick right now with the M-Pox and whatever...

If we talk DC comics...they had Pied Piper, and in the New 52 universe he dates the Flash's police boss.

BUT! If you want real 100% gay superheroes you should look for Midnighter and his partner Apollo. (Basically the gay versions of Batman and Superman respectively, formerly property of Wildstorm Comics and now part of DC)

Batman is cool, but so overrated...Superman...I don't like him. (And both were assholes to Wonder Woman during certain storyline...pair of holier-than-thou pricks)

Very irresponsible  of him for taking drugs prior to boarding a plane…Not to mention is bad press for the gay community, way to go dude, reinforce the relationship some people make about a gay lifestyle and drugs...

Off topic 01: He looks so petite between those two other Go-go's!

Off topic02: I see a Batman crest tattoo right in the pec...and I run for the hills.  Love hot nerds, but that is kind of a stretch.

According to the Kinsey scale, there are many gradations of sexuality between exclusively heterosexual and exclusively homosexual so don't freak out if you happen to get curious and aroused when you see gay porn.

@alma:

TOO TOO HARSH MAN , God dammit he was sharing his fears and needed advice not an attack  :blink:

Yes it was harsh…but sometimes people need harshness instead of sympathy or pity.  Problem is, 'Sam' is putting himself in a very delicate situation.  There are people that, once they realize you have no self-love, no self-respect...will trap you and seduce you and make you love them hard and fast and then...they will take advantage from you. In Sam's case, he sounds so sad and desperate that he seems capable of great folly for just some morsels of love that might not even be real.

He needs to stop pitying himself, because that's what he transmits to others, and believe me...there's a very fine line between pity and contempt.

HE also seems to have absorbed many issues: ageism, lack of confidence, the mistaken idea that you need to be in a relationship and if you are single by a certain age, then you're a hopeless spinster.  That is all bullcrap, both homo and heteronormative nonsense we need to get rid off in order to fully mature and enjoy ourselves as individuals.

Well…this is what I would answer him.  He definitively needs a slap back into reality, not a shoulder to cry on.

Dear 'Sam in Florida':

I'm 31, Gay and I honestly don't care if I'm single forever or if I find Mr. Right.

Why? Because I've realized love comes unannounced, like many big things in life, but in order to be ready for it, you must love yourself first.

My friends and acquantainces are getting married, pooping out babies and showing them up in fucking Facebook...do I care? No.

They're them....I am me...

And after reading your pathetic letter...I despise you...so much that If I could meet you I would seduce you and then break your worthless heart into tiny-bitty pieces and enjoy every damn second of it.

You clearly don't love yourself....you have people who love you and yet you don't love yourself.

If you think that you won't be attracting anyone because you're older I say to you...compensate the aging with character and become interesting...be like a good wine: age makes you better.

Don't beg for the love of some vain 20 something...interesting, older men have 20 year olds running around them...as their bitchboy fucktoys, not the other way around!

And if you want love...then you don't hook up! Love needs to be NURTURED. And in order to nurture love with others you need to love yourself first.

Don't you think that phrase from your acquaintance was a compliment?! Maybe he/she liked you! But your self respect is so crushed you had to think the worst possible meaning to it.

Grow a fucking pair....because you were totally whining.
