It's a good start actually.

Hopefully Adam and Tyler are just as good .

They've been pretty bad so far tonight...

Oh don't get me wrong I completely understand what he means and I'm not having a go or anything (apologies if it came across that way Jase ), I just meant he should try not let what people think of his drinks choice affect his enjoyment of the night too much
Ooh I'll needs to try me some of this pink gay juice

I'm not actually sure why I feel that way, but it's just something I've noticed while being at Uni Probably as most of my friends are straight so it's just we usually end up at 'straight' clubs/bars...
Haha I used to be a bit like that but my female friends who drink manlier drinks than me and joke away soon got me used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore thankfully If you ever go for the first time, be prepared to be like the 'fresh meat'

I didn't join ours and don't really regret it tbh as it has a reputation for pretty much just being a place where they all look for ONS, which I wasn't too bothered about and also they were all very cliquey and not the type of people who I'd have much in common with
Pretty much this, couldn't have said it better myself Lukey

Thanks guys for all your responses! It'll be fun going to Uni but I'm also quite worried about becoming really isolated their and that's the only reason that I was considering the LGBT society. I'm worried that if I don't then I'll become isolated and never meet fellow gays but I agree that trying to create it superficially probably isn't going to work. And I don't think I'd fit in become I visited them at the open day and they were all very loud and brass which really isn't me!

Nope, I also never joined mine.

I don't think I'd enjoy it either, much for the same reasons as above. But I suppose they'll be a mix of those people and 'normal' people who are probably thinking like you aswell.

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't watch The Voice


Same. The vast majority of my friends are straight so "straight" bars are always the standard place to go for us.

Peanut Butter cookies anyone?

Ended up in a really cool place at first, there was some spoken word, and I met one of the poets, and we had a chat, I showed her one of my pieces, and she liked it, which meant the world to me..

Ended up at a place that did 50s/60s rock and roll which was pretty cool, but some guys tried to start, one even left shouting about 'them dirty gayzzz!!!!'111

It put me on edge the rest of the night!


I tend to drink archers and lemonade, or cocktails, or Malibu and coke, or strawberry and lime cider.

I've actually had plenty of pink gay juices, as you call them lol.

I definitely feel more safe and comfortable in gay place.


Are you for real? Okay you definitely need a night out at Heaven with me!


I did initially, but they were more interested in a night out, than political change, I wanted to change the fact that I was at the most homophobic university in the city, they wanted to shag around.

It felt so alien to me. I was talking about marches and sit ins, and they were talking about the village, g-a-y and so on.


Being gay is who I am, without it I wouldn't be me, there's more to me than being gay, but seriously don't play down the role sexuality has. It pervades every aspect of your life, even if it's a bit part...

I don't like that so many people dismiss it as just another part of who they are, but really, who you share your life with is, is SO important...


Ooh me, me, me!

I hate football! And it's the bloody Old Firm today, traffic will be horrendous! Btw has anyone seen Shelter before, I watched it last night and thought it was the best gay film I've ever seen, miles better than Latter Days!

Ah right. Sounds to me that they're really panto damish. There's nothing wrong with being like that but linking this with what I said, it's a bit sad basing your whole personality around your sexuality, of course it does mean something, but I wouldn't like it if my friends just knew me as Jack the bisexual, to them I'm crazy Jack or wee Jack or feisty Jack

That was a long ass talk yesterday, it didn't really get anywhere, I was probing him for a decent reason and all I gt was all these trivial things, if they mattered so much to him, why didn't he bring them up before? So we just agreed to go our own ways a couple of months.

Nothing worse than football bores or even worse the neanderthol neds that attend them

(Not to tar all footie fans the same but I've found a pattern of the above)

It might do you the world of good, bby. <3 I know it isn't the best thing in the world but I'm sure it is a hurdle you can get over.

I love Shelter as well Daz, for the sake of it not basically being a 90 minute stereotyped porno like most gay films.

Shelter is a good film. Have you all seen Get Real? I enjoyed that one too.

I'm at a place now where I realise there was nothing wrong with those guys, if anything, it was me that was in the wrong, I should have been getting involved in the n.u.s, not the lgbt society...

Sorry to hear he's been a bit of a douche about things, but, hopefully it's onwards and upwards for you.



Ben Silverstone was so cute in that film.

What's the N.U.S?

National Union of Students. They're the ones that get involved in the politics, the lgbt society, literally is just a social thing..

Don't get me wrong, they could have got involved in the politics, but they chose not to...

I have seen Get Real

I went on a LGBT movie run last year after coming out, I think I've seen all the main ones now.

Mysterious Skin was horrible.

I watched Get Real last night, I'm on a bit of a lgbt film binge just now. I really want to see weekend but will have to wait until I turn 18

Why? lolol

Yeah, why?

It's an 18 and the only place I can find it is on amazon and my bank have a child safety thing with amazon which takes ratings into account and wont let you buy it without a lot of work.

Watch it online xD .

I don't think I've bought a movie in AGES lol.

I'm sure there would be a legal way to watch it on-line, I'd never encourage illegal activity.

You could torrent it. I don't condone such behaviour or confirm or deny whether I'd do the same obviously but yeah.


Haha! Well, I've been to a gay bar (saying that always makes me want to break out into that Electric Six song; they played that actually in the (straight) club I was in on Monday and all my friends pointed at me. ). From what others of you have been saying; I actually felt pretty comfortable even though it was new to me. It's nice to be able to dance together and have a kiss without anyone batting an eyelid!

Weekend is ok.
I struggled to take it seriously because, after living in Nottingham, I couldn't see past all the huge geographical mistakes
