I'm married to a man but if I was single, anything would go if I met someone I connected with.
Genuinely touched by that post.Straight as a Moose's dick here.............but?
I started out life as a gay hater mainly because of the environment I grew up in, but the Navy really shocked me into reality after the first 5-6 months. I was totally blown away with how many gay people were serving, and it took a little while to adjust, especially after learning that my buddy (3rd Class Cook) who I checked into the base with was gay. We were a couple of rough and tumble newbies who thought the entire base was out personal playground. When we were off duty, we were getting into mischief 24/7 and we got called into the Chief Masters At Arms office a few times. We were at the base club one night just killing time when he disappeared for a while. I waited for a while and finally decided to head back to the BEQ (barracks). I saw my buddy locking lips in a car with another guy behind the club near a dirt path we used as a shortcut to get back. Things got a little ugly for a few weeks, but we ended up just as close as before. When I got married and moved into base housing, our spare room was his whenever he felt like getting away from the BEQ. He was the best friend I ever had in my 20 years and we would have stayed in touch because we were closer than my own brothers, but he died about a month after he was discharged in 1980 after a car accident in Madison Wisconsin.
His parents would not let me attend the funeral because they thought I was gay. I didn't bother to explain my sexual orientation to them because they were ashamed of their son.
I know this isn't exactly on topic with the OP's thread, and I am sorry for that.
I have rarely spoken to anyone about Kenny except to my wife who loved him like family.
People will always adjust when they are around good people.
So, thought this would be a good idea. Just a simple self-identification thread for all of our LGBT+ members. Thought it'd be nice to get to know one another and stuff.
I'll start, I'm a lesbian, as most of you know, but if you didn't, know you know.
Anyone else?
Despite my sig line, I would guess that I am heteroflexable. I use that since there have been a few trans girls I've dated or longed after. The other two components of the sig line are correct though.
As a side note, Queer no longer means homosexual. For some reason it has taken a different bent and those claiming Queer are saying it is different from gay. I haven't fully understood what it is now, save maybe someone with both a sliding gender identity and sliding orientation.
Trans-Lesbian

Is that anything like Trans-Siberian?
I think it will come as no surprise to a single DPer that I'm gay. I'm of the generation of gays that don't feel that comfortable with all the qualifications and labels that we seem to have to use these days. I'm not a big fan of 'queer' either, but that's just me. I came out as 'gay' 35 years ago, I'm not going to qualify it further now.
I'm glad you posted that and I'm sorry you lost your friend.Straight as a Moose's dick here.............but?
