    I'm an ally, but unfortunately the Holy Rollers and Anti's will have this thread locked in no time.

    Please don't clump people into a category. I am a "Holy Roller" and I would never think about trying to lock this thread. It's not the "category" that makes people jerks.... it's the person. Mmkay?

    And your response is typical jerk. Mmkay?

    no it isn't! she had a point and you're new here, you don't know her so don't try to make it seem like she was being a jerk.

    Um.
    Dear christinalovexo,
    The person you were referencing is actually an MFP vet. He took a break and came back with a new account. So, you might want to actually know what *you're* talking about before you spout off.
    Cheers!

    I'm an ally here, feel free to friend me! :wink:

    Me!

    Even though I haven't exactly figured out what my sexuality is yet. I don't like labels, anyway.

    this will get locked/deleted. they'll tell you the "groups" function is coming soon, where you'll be able to have your own group, but no one will say when. i think it should be allowed, and i'm sorry it's not. I hope you at least find a few friends before it gets the as though!

    :smile:

    Posting just to support this thread, because of this problem. I'm not LGBT, but it makes me really cross that my friends who are can't post to find others who share their experiences.

    I'd like to bet if I started a 'Looking for other straight women' post, it wouldn't get zapped. Why should this one be?

    No wonder threads like this get deleted. It's already deteriorating into people saying "don't talk about her like that you don't know her" because some people are just too sensitive and others posting about just how supportive they are (FYI, to whomever asked "Just how supportive are you?" This is not a competition).

    I didn't create this post to separate us from "the norms" or "the straights."

    I just wanted to find some people like me to talk to. If I had the option, I would have deleted this thread myself already.

    I know what you mean. But... these scuffles break out on all sorts of threads - usually as a result of histories that have nothing much to do with the content of the thread. I wouldn't see that behaviour as a reflection on the topic. And I think the pervasiveness of such scuffles really indicates that controlling potentially divisive content doesn't have much impact on forum heat levels.

    , and then he was like,

    , and then she was all up his face like,

    which is really similar to this:

    Like I've never attended a rally or anything, but where I live has a small gay community downtown, and I go hang out there very frequently with my kids and their friends. I guess my support is shown through teaching my kids that this is also normal but also spending money in LGBT-owned or supportive businesses.

    i know you live in FL, i dunno how far from this, but are you referring to wilton manors?

    if not wilton manors is also a gay community, it's quite an amusing place with it's gay mart and coffee shop! my friend used to force me to go there with him.
    I've heard of Wilton Manors :bigsmile: but, no, I was referring to downtown Lake Worth. It's a lot like Key West used to be. Just really laid-back. If you're ever in the area check out Mother Earth on 2nd ave. It's a lesbian-owned coffee house and the owner is the coolest ever. She hosts open mic, people sing on Friday nights, she lets locals sell goods there. It's everything a coffee house should be.

    this sounds cool... unfortunately i live in north florida now, so prob a no go! we have a mother earth here... its a crappy, tiny "health foods" store. there is nothing better than that :grumble:

    but i agree, it sounds like a great coffee shop!

    Aw BOOO! Well, this Mother Earth used to be called Les Beans. Say it out loud. How cool is that? But I think her partner owned the name and they split up.

    It doesn't bother me who anyone chooses to sleep with, or how, as long as they're consenting adults. I try, as our LBGT group at college's motto said, to 'Assume nothing'. It makes me laugh to think what others probably assume about me, as a Christian, mother and teacher at a private school... Little do they know (thank goodness!)...
