Gay-friendly Thread!

Great Stories, and just think, half of us are down here in Orlando at PI! Cant wait to hear their trip reports and "how we met stories"!

Well actually, my original story is Chapter two, the first "real" date. (Ask any gay male about that!) LOL

The first "night" is even better!

I was on a vacation spending 4 days in Las Vegas with a friend, and then a cross country trip to Boston for 4 days to visit friends. On the layover at O'Hare, between Vegas and Boston I had my one and only "mini nervous breakdown". I freaked out! Had to go home! Didn't know why but I had to get home immediately!

Had to spend one restless night in Boston calling friends and canceling dinner plans, trying not to sound like a freak, and then got on the first plane out of Boston for Orlando the next morning. Got off the plane, picked up my car and immediately headed to Playlynda, a great gay/nudist beach near Kennedy Space Center. Spent the day hanging out on a beautiful Florida beach, and on the way home decided to hit a bar in Orlando. (Parliament House/Full Moon) After a few cocktails I spotted the victim across the bar! He lived in Daytona and was a little too tipsy for that trip, so I offered overnight accommodations at my place......

The rest they say, is history.

(He must have been a nice guy, I invited him to the California Grill two days later, and the guy has been hanging around for 10 years now!)

To this day, I have never freaked out like I did that day in Chicago. I am convinced that some higher power was trying to hook us up!!

hahaha! Yes, my story wasn't the first real date. I kind of edited the ending to make my story DIS friendly.

Now, JoanJett, I have to ask, which bar was it?? Sadly, I am trying to guess, but I just can't picture a hot lesbian hangout three years ago.

Hey all. We just stumbled unto this thread. We are leaving for Disney in just a few hours to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. (Yes we had a wedding lol) We will be there till the 20th. I loved reading the stories on how you guys met. Our story is a bit unbelievable. I had just been threw a really bad breakup (with the exs parents having me arrested for "making there son gay") Needless to say Id sworn off all men. Well like all gay men a year later I stumbled out of a bar, lonely and depressed. I remember looking up at the sky seeing a star and making a wish to "find love" again. The next week at the bar Kirk came up to me and used the line "i heard im all your wishes come true". And i was sweep off my feet everyday since. We have been together since 99, and got married last December. Ok my spiels over, and I think I need to nap before the flight. Ill be online once were in our hotel.

Hi everyone - we got back Sunday night. It was so hard to say goodbye to the zebras and giraffes outside our balcony at the AKL. That was our first stay there, and it was simply incredible. Boma was awesome too!

We met up with Traci, Brenda, Sue, Viki, Gwen, and Viki's menz at the Rose and Crown Pub. It was really fun getting to chat with people face to face. Very nice folks! Traci, Brenda and Sue had us planning our next trip even before this one was finished! My partner, Linda, had never been to WDW, and she had the best time. So it won't be hard to convince her into another trip

The crowds were extremely light Wednesday and Thursday, so we were able to walk right onto everything, and then circle around and ride again! Our favorites were: Soarin', Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, Rock N Roller Coaster, Mickey's Philharmagic, Haunted Mansion, and the margueritas at EPCOT. Least favorite: Mission Space - whew, I have never been so glad when a ride was over! - although my queasiness may have been the result of too many beverages at PI the night before

I hope everyone is having a good week and staying warm!

I mentionned it was a cruisy gay bar, but forgot to mention it was a man bar. It was at Parking. Not exactly the most glamorous or romantic settings!! Indeed, I don't think Montreal has ever had a happening lesbian bar. I hear they have recently started up a gay/mixed night at the W hotel in Old Montreal. Three cheers for 14$ martinis

Great stories everyone! I have to go to work...but later I will share my story! And whats up with the DIS friendly editing? I want the "juicy" details! lol I know probably no real appropriate, guess I'll have to settle. GLad you all had such a great time at the World and that you are back safe and sound!

 

[bubie2.5]

Hi everyone!! I love your stories!!!

ECurto: Hi and welcome to our little place.

 

[True North]

haha! Oh Kim! (Or are you Tiff?)

Well, I think it is pretty obvious. My wrap up of "and by the end of the night we were dating" may be a bit sugar coated. Lets just say by the end of the night we were no longer acting like just friends.

The next day we woke up hungover and confussed. I guess we officially started dating 2 days later. (it took time to sober up and realize what happened. )

I think that was DIS friendly. I'm glad Viki is away! I wouldn't want a Minister and my future wife to hear that!

ECurto: Welcome to the thread! Have a great time on your trip! I'm sure you will have a great time! I am excited there is someone else who is married on this thread. I have been the only one for so long! Don't waist time while you are at Disney, but I want to hear the story when you get back!

Penny: Speaking of coming back, it's nice to hear you had a great time! I have to say I am pretty jealous of the animals at your balcony. I don't think we will be staying there (probably go to a moderate) but boy I can still dream! I'm happy to hear you and your partner both had a great time!

And finally, Genevieve: My gosh! I have to share a story! Have you been to parking latley?? I don't know if it was an event, or if this is the way it now is, but Will and I went to Parking 2 months ago. We got there and it was all 30 to 40 year old men, 60% of them in leather. Like, it had always been a male dominated bar, but this was suprising. Not one girl and I was by far the youngest person there. I got scared and left.
We went to Unity and it is now a very mixed crowed! Like much more so then a year ago. I was suprised. Sky was the more diverse bar before, but Unity was over half women last time I was there. (and by women I mean lesbians, not just the "Graces" that used to be there following the boys) It is still filled with 18 year olds though, so I felt old. I don't think dads belong at Unity, but I knew I didn't belong at Parking.

Sidenote: I didn't know if the other term was DIS boards appropriate, so I thought it was safer to just call them "Graces" as in Will and Grace. All the gays would then know what I'm talking about

Okay.. my story.... while strolling around the Magic Kingdom I spot her across Fantasyland... she is perfect.. a beautiful smile... and a bounce in her step...adult and little kid all rolled into one... she is happily munching on a mickey bar as she watches all of the kids dash from attraction to attraction... there is a sparkle in her eyes.. and as she looks up she catches my eye... tilts her head and a wide grin spreads across her face... she takes my hand and we stroll off together in search of adventure and a little DISNEY Magic... Sounds good doesn't it??? If it were only true!! LOL!! Okay... that is how I WISH it would happen!! LOL!! Unfortunately, I don't have a current story... hanging single here in NY.. yeah I know.. hard to believe.. a single lesbian in NY... well.. believe it... it ain't easy finding the one... or even the one for now!! LOL!! So, Until I find "her".. I will continue to entertain you with my Fantasies!! LOL!!

Oh.. Gen.. btw.. i have not forgotten your DVD.. but apparently Disney has!! LOL I have called several times now looking for it... there is a back order apparently... so.. as soon as I get it.. I promise I will send it on up!!

Welcome home to all who have returned.. glad to hear you had such a great time!!! And to those who are still there.. Whoo Hooo... Have a blast!!

LMAO Noah!!! Well...thats more like it! And it is Kim...Tiff usually just lurks over my shoulder! I'll share this weekend, last night was ds6 x-mas program at school, can you say A-dorable? And today it's off to work again! Hope everyone has a great day!

I don't think dads belong at Unity, but I knew I didn't belong at Parking.

I have not been to Parking in a year but I know that Fridays & Saturdays is men only. It is a strict door policy. And downstairs was transformed into an even cruisier leather spot. Some friends smuglled me and val in at pride last summer and it was a man factory in there I really don't have the heart for clubbing anymore, we go for 'adult' drinks at Le 2 or Pullman and call it an early evening. The only exception will of course be the open bar MusiquePlus XMas party at Medley next thursday. You do not want to give us unlimited access to booze and a dj booth. That is just asking for trouble.

And Valentine. No worries, my gf is dreading the day the DVD arrives and all our money goes into DVC!!!

Anyone planning on seeing Narnia this weekend?

Lol,it's amazing that this was here. I only visit the Community and Budge board, but they were both slow yesterday, so I ventured and looked at everything. I'm shocked Rick didn't show me the way.

 

[T&KHayes]

Ok, so today is a day off..YyAAAA..so since I have a little time I thought I would share a little story of mine. So, the story of how we met is not romantic or unusual. We met through friends and I shamelessly pursued her (she was clueless to my flirtations). We were hanging out together with friends on an almost daily basis and were becoming very good friends. Finally one night I couldn't handle it anymore and had to know if there was ever a chance so I called her. So we entered in the phone call hall of fame and talked for over 3 hours. lol And as they say the rest is history.

The story I like better though is when she proposed to me. It was on the DCL! We were out in the middle of the Bahamas (ocean) at about 11 o'clock at night, and we had gone up to Deck 9 to sit in the cove, watch the water, relax, smoke, drink coffee & have some quiet alone time. She was acing kind of weird, and I kept asking her what was wrong. She just kept saying, nothing baby. Finally she reaches into her pocket and pulls out this piece of yellow paper that looked all rumply and worn. She then read to me the things that she had written down months ago and had kept until just the right moment to share with me. I cried, she cried, and then we hugged and kissed and made googly eyes at each other.

 

[icebrat001]

Cute story Kim.

 

[True North]

Great story Kim!

Icebrat, welcome to our thread! I almost private messaged you a few weeks ago to tell you to come over here after reading one of your posts. Glad you joined us!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Not much going on here. Survivor ends tomorow, which gives me something to look forward to. (Yes, I watch reality television) Did you go see Narnia JoanJett? I kind of want to, but DH say we are allowed only one children's movie a year, and I used up that on Harry Potter.

I also want to see Brokenback Mountain. I keep hearing great things about it. Anyone go?
