What were the gays talking about in 2009? I put my ear to the discussion board and listened in on the top discussions of the year. What's on your mind?
1. How to greet on a first date
"How do you greet someone on a first date? Do you give them a hug? Or shake hands? Hugging seems kind of familiar... and shaking hands seems kind of impersonal."
2. Flirting at work
"There is this cute guy at work who's around my age. My gaydar told me he was gay as soon as I meet him. I catch him staring at me and I'm sure he has caught my glares too... The only thing is that he has a ring on his wed ring finger :( oops."
3. A shortage of masculine men
"After talking to tons of guys over the past three years or more I've noticed that there seems to be a major shortage of guys who prefer taking on the masculine roles in relationships (and topping as well)."
4. Is it possible for two bottoms...?
"Can two tops be compatible? Want if two bottoms both want to be the bottom?"
5. The perfect coming out letter
"I'm pretty much terrified to come out, but I really need to because all this worry is really messing up my studying in college. So, I'm writing a letter to my parents."
6. What's the beef with bisexuals?
"Its such a hard group of people to classify, because you could put 90% of the world into that catagory depending on the parameters."
7. Does reparative therapy work?
"Does reparative therapy work or not? I am asking cause I am going to one who said he'll change me from gay to bisexual."
8. Is there a straight flag?
"So, my scout troop and I went to the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC. We all wore something fancy and based on a single color (orange, red, green). Nobody coodinated outfits or anything, so we all lined up in a rainbow and our leader took a picture of us. The first one came out blurry (diposable camera), and the first thought that popped into everyone's heads was, "Oh my gosh, we must have looked like a living gay flag walking down the street!
Thinking back on this, I am randomly wondering if there is a straight flag, and if there isn't, what do you think it would look like?"

9. Last week I was a virgin
"So he gets my number from another friend and we text for a little while. A 'little while' meaning a day. The next day he comes over and we have sex. I just, don't understand. I don't regret it, but I want to. This isn't something that I would normally do."
10. Blind faith or ignorance?
"I'm astounded that in the face of all reasonable logic to the contrary, they still insist on sticking to their guns! I just think they're blissfully ignorant."
