now we are off topic.....

@echoes: sorry for you, but sometimes you have to go through those kind of situation...to me it sounds like you were doing the right thing and even if he struggles today, you might have spared him deeper pain...cheer up!

Still Far:
I think you are right, at least I was being completely honest with myself and with him.. a friend of mine told me, just to “play along” until I find something else, she said, I should just enjoy and use this opportunity, I just can’t agree with anything like that though, I think sometimes straight people think, all gays want is sex and a fun time, but I want so much more in another guy, I want true friendship, I want each other to be completely into each other and crazy for one another. I want Mr. Right! ;-) lol Well, who doesn’t want that?? :-)

I think there’s nothing wrong with sex and fun...as long as both feel that way...

@ATLTK...

tambien escucho 60´ 70´ , son buenisimos!!

Es un poco divertido tu español, hehehehe, pero entendí casi todo!!
Mi pareja no le gusta Gessle, asi que iré solo al concierto, pero a él le gusta Marie, más q gessle... :-D

Hi everyone!

Just bringin’ this one back on the first page again!!

btw How’s everybody doing?!
Any interesting stories to share?:)

I would have some interesting stories to share, but I think I better keep ’em to myself!! ;-)

Do you Echoes?;)

i would like to know what you guys think about people who are bi-sexual and do they go through the same problems that gay people do ??

I was bisexual

hi nox i still am bisex maybe im to scared to take the next step and i have children so its awkward

derek

my boyfriend is 39, he was married and got 3 childrens, now everything is difficoult, i think, (just an opinion) if you are bisex, is better dont get married with a woman, cos gays understand if you are bisex, but not womans...

iv been married twice but allways kept it to myself that i was bisex and it had nothing to do with the break ups but now i live on my own the feelings are getting stronger.and a lot of women are bisex so they understand more than you think nox

How old are you Derek? If you don’t mind me asking?

i dont believe in bi sexuality

But they are bisex, i meant a heteresexual woman...anyway, is better if you meet bisex...

Hi Coyboy! I totally agree with you! lol I don’t believe in it either...

I belive in bisexs...cos i was...

regarding people who don´t belive in bisex...well, it´s the same case of people who don´t believe in homosexuals, and belive that it is a sicknees...

what does it matter what one is. gay or bi so frigging what and what is there to believe in coyboy you are or you aint and i dont have any problems with both ways do you?

Well, I more meant it as a joke anyway... ;-)

i know two, maybe three bi persons, and listening to what they had to say i conclude their situation is worse than gays’. they seem to be torn. don’t know which way to go, or afraid to do that final step, i can only imagine what does it mean to not be sure of who i want to love - men or women. it’s therefore much easier for us - gays.
thank you for listening (or reading).
adam

boi, used to be fun ..

@echoes of a doubt .its ok mate i wasnt mad i to have a lot of tales which would make you blush i think. you know my email if you are interested .

@joyrider8103 thankyou for your responce glad to see that some one agrees with me .it is difficult for me at the moment .being torn in what should i do. i wouldnt know how difficult it is for gay people but i can imagine it isnt easy .i do like women but a nice man is also ok. and i am also a little bit different in myself but i wouldnt put it on this topic i think a lot of people wouldnt understand .but thanx

well it seems that iv spoilt this topic for gay people .hmm strange

hi there derek, na, you havent spoilt this thread! I’m sure there are good reasons why it seems to be quite dead here at the moment. As for myself, I have been quite ill over the last two weeks and just dropped down to the internet cafe. Couldn’t stay in bed any longer!! ;-)
I would be very interested to hear some of yours stories mate!! ;-)

Derek... I have too totally agree with you on this subject... you are what you are, so why the hell can I not accept what I am? God I am so frigging confused...

@echoes of a doubt .thanks mate why dont you e-mail me and ask what you like im open and honest

@ally 77 ill e-mail you ok

Thanx Derek....

In search for some entertainment i stubbled upon a site www.godhatesfags.com ... it’s hugely entertaining to those who have resolved their sexuality issues & issues of faith (otherwise do not view this content as it does promote homophobia) The definetly beats watchin’ Harry Potter on telly... funny to see these Gosple’s supported!!

@derek, hi man! I think deep inside all we are bisexual, it’s just that most people finally are more atracted to one sex. In my experience with any kind of man and woman I’ve noted that in different situations if they’re straight they can have homosexuals feelings. Sex is a very complicated part of human beings, I think all we should just acept that we can be atracted to any person, no matter if is a male or a female. That would make many people’s lives easier.

BTW, it doesn’t matter if your gay, bi, or straight, here you’ve got a friend ;-)

Okay, welcome to the world.... I would like to tell my friends on here that I am Bi-sexual and I don’t have a problem with it in myself... just perhaps a slight problem in telling others but at 26 it is time to face up to reality and stop living a lie.

So there goes!!

Yay you! :D:D *Hugs Ally*

You go girl!!

And so am I, I’m bisexual... :)

Congrats Excey.... you made it.... the first step!!

:) I feel so much better now!

Hey Roxlander mate how are you doing you are so right if only people could accept themselves for what they are and the rest of the people could accept that then life would be so much easier dont you think

Ally. way to go babe proud of yer. the first step is allways the hardest and being honest with your self is the hardest part .welcome to the real world

@ Derek.... thanx for the support... I do feel so much better...

ally & excey: :O

:p

@ Vaxjoe - you sticking your tongue out at ME!!

:p :)

ally im utterly speechless! hehehe!

Here’s a dumb question:
I’m gay, but I don’t Per particularly attractive... Do any of the gay/bi men find him attractive, and do any gay/bi women here find Marie sexually attractive?

I know I sound like a moron (probably because I am one), but I’m wondering what you think :-)

@Chris, in “The Look” days I was crazy about Per, I found him really atractive, I just loved him from the first time I saw him. In 1995, when I met him I couldn’t believe, he was so handsome, and tall ;-) But with time that passion became more like a brotherly love, I still admire him the same, and I love him, but I don’t find him that atractive anymore.

@everybody. Just wanna tell you something that happened today to me. I have two new fellow workers (I’m not sure about this word), I mean two people who work with me. Today one of them was saying that he can’t stand gay people, that they make him sick. I just turned to him and said: “You must be careful of what you say, because you never really know who’s by your side”. And he said: “Why! Are you gay or what?!” And full of pride I said: “YES I AM”. If you could look his face! The man didn’t know what to do or what to say, he felt so shamed, and I felt just great!

I’m sick of stupid people saying things against gays, when they don’t have a clue of what being gay means. I don’t like people at work to know I’m gay, not because I fell shamed, but I don’t want any kind of problem and you know most people are still ignorant about it. But in this case I didn’t care, and I’m proud of myself. People must learn about gays somehow, and we must give ourselves our place.

@ Chris from a bi female point of view.... don’t know if you want this or not... but I grew up totally obessed with Per... I mean we are talking a guy with lots of talent and good looks, what girl could refuse... he get’s sexier as he gets older and I would jump into bed with him tomorrow given half the chance.... (sorry I know he’s married, well a girl can dream - Denstandigaresen.... back me up on this??!!!).
But growing up I was also totally was head over heels in love with Marie, she was not the first female I knew I loved... but I guess I admired her for her music as well as her looks and again she get’s better as she get’s older!! :)

@ Roxlander.... well done.... proud of you!!

hey roxlander way to go mate i would have loved to see the look on that dudes face its that sort of people that give every body a bad name .poor close minded person .

Chris .per is ok nice guy .but i do love marie

I LOVE MARIE! PER IS NICE BUT NOT THAT NICE! ;)

I love marie more too lol

Thanks ally and derek.

Later yesterday we talk a little more about it, this guy and other two (including a girl), and they started to make some questions about being gay. I tried to give them good questions, and make them see that gays are as good as anybody else.

Hi!

I have a friend who i knew he was gay, because he always talked about his male firends and because he has a gay pride ring, but i never told him anything, i liked him a lot alredy, but i like him more know because last week he told me he is gay, and i think that now we became much closer, because i accept him the way he is.

I’m straigth female, but i have no problem with gay people, in fact he invited me to the gay pride parade next year and i’m planning to go :)

wou...It sounds so nice!!! how is the gay-life in mexico?...cómo?

:p

hey sunshine way to go

roxlander my friend how are you getting on with that dude who dont like gays ?and i know that i have a friend thanx

Being gay is just a sexual orientation it shouldnt rule your life once you organise pride parades you accept that u re part of a ghetto group.

I don’t understand, Vax... ur statement seem ambiguous.

Im just saying that a homosexual is just the opposite of a heterosexual and thats all. I dont think we should make it clear to everyone our sexual orientation or constantly try to excuse why we are who we are. Getting in that trip u automatically accept that u arent normal.

Well said... only you have to consider that being gay (or straight) is a vital part of your identity... this should not be considered as abnormal or “othered”

IT IS a part but JUST a part not my whole identity. It doesnt rule my whole self.

Agree 100%

*nods*

Vax.why should we want to make it clear to everyone over our sexuel orientation?im happy with who i am and if other people cannot accept that then tough shit .its like you said we are who we are then lets be proud of that i dont have to prove anything to anyone about what i like in sex and with whom its only small minded people who cannot accept that some of us are different in our approach to life and whats important to us

derek:
thats what i said, we SHOULDN’T say “hi u know im gay btw”

Basically we agree, u wrote all the things i believe in

thanks vax and to believe in ourselves is the most important lesson we can learn

derek i think the 1st principle to help you be happy is love the person you are.

I agree once again. U should be the cornerstone of your existance. (Had to find that out the hard way!)

BTW... how ironic is the add 4 “www.kiddomusic.com”? Chances of anyone here having biological offspring are minimal.

Derek.... thanx for the mail..... I got to find a cafe in Wales so I read it, made sense what you said.... I shall email you back when I get home!!

yep vax your right.

ok Ally take care

derek, my friend, how do you do!

I’m doing as vaxjoe says, I’ve been myself just like always, not trying to show them anything because of being gay. And they seen to be learning to respect. I’m acting natural, and they are too. The difference is that now I don’t have to follow their comments about girls, and I can talk about men too. But I do it when necesary, not trying to show them “gay pride” or something. I’m just someone with a different sexual choise and they must learn to deal with it :-)

hey roxlander how are you.the only thing that you can do friend is be yourself .love yourself for who you are and if some people cannot understand why you are gay then thats there problem dont let them get you down if ever you wish to talk in private you know my email ok

I think str8 ppl (at least the young ones) learn to respect us slowly though but they do! Once they realise that we are just like anybody else its fine with them.

Now there are gay ppl that in a way are TOO MUCH -even for me- and like to make fun of themselves..they cannot ask for respect cause they dont respect their own self..thats their problem and not being gay.

yep right again vax

Not so much girls in here..

yep thats true it would be nice to get some feedback from the girls

Something funny happened to me this weekend. I met one of my Roxfan friends, and we were talking about Roxette and everything when something came out: he told me he’s gay. I told him I’m too, and then we wanted to know if another of our friends is too, so we ask him and he’s too. We are good friends, and we’ve known each others for years, but we never talked about that. The three of us, with another Roxfriend who now lives in Canada, formed the Costa Rican RoxFanclub, and now, years later, we realize that we share more than our Roxpassion. I like it this to happen because now we can be closer friends, and actually I don’t have a truly gay friend. Now I do :-)

Roxlande nice.

Vaxjoe yeah I totally agree with you. I respect gay people very much. But as much as two straight people acting very straight (dunno how to describe that), acting too gay disgusts me at times.

Derek looking for girls? I am here what’s up?

DG... how can anybody be too straight or too gay?

I dunno... :|
Just a feeling. Too much of everything could be felt you know!

Hey Mizz Medusa! :o) (’n Soentjie vir jou.... mwah!)

How can a person be too gay or str8? I think what they meant was that some gay guys act too much like women. Jy weet mos, ’n regte suster! LOL! Sometimes I think it’s just an act. This one guy I know is oh so butch thruout the day (he’s really hot as well - built like a brick shithouse), but wait until Friday and Sat’day nite! Then the sister act comes out at the club. It’s so wrong. Why do you have to ACT all girly?

It’s so pointless.... I dont know.

:o)

carbon_boy: For once I agree :). Wow I always thought you were the one disagreeing with everyone but wow I liked what you just said. That’s exactly what I meant.

PM: I think DG means by too gay=too femenine and by too str8=too butch..

DG: I don’t disagree all the time. I have a point of view and I’m allowed to raise it - to make my voice heard. Ive never been one to follow the flock, know what I mean? When I disagree on something it’s cos I know something about the subject and what was said. And therefore I have an opinion about it. I think on this forum the only thing i actually buttet heads with was the fact that so many fans HATE Karl-Magnus’s sleeve design, etc and Jonas’s videos. I love both! And I have my reasons... but hey, let’s not get into that now. This is ofcourse the rainbow coloured thread and I dont want it to be blackened by the same old same old.

Have a great day guys and gals!
;o)

Hey All,
I’m by no means gender illiterate… my question was purely anthropological. I want to know what you think is this (socially constructed?) concept of being too gay or too straight? Where does one draw the line of extreme gendered behavior? What is accepted behavior in terms of ones own gender?

*I’m eagerly awaiting your responses*

At ’Ro: hey just send u a mail @ hotmail account (always forget ur work addy)... PS. I forgot to tell u Belinda just got out of the hospital... shame the girls in a lot of pain and need some upliftment. Send her a TXT or something!!

At Vax: It would be nice if u could drop me a line just to let me know that ur still alive & kickin!

Hey Mizz Medusa - shame, I’ll send her an sms nownow.... what happened?

Btw, I think you’ve been reading too many of them anthropology books again.... ai.... hehehehe.... chat soon. Mwah! :o)

’Reading to many Antro. books’ - Darling as jy maar net weet!!

Hiya Damineh.no i wasnt looking for girls but i think its nice to hear what the the other side thinks about when it comes to sex and relationships. gays/bisex/lesbians.its nice to know what goes on in other peoples brains.

who in this great forum has msn or icq
I´d love to know u better

Just bringing this one back again!

How is everybody doing?
I’ve been away for a while, where did everyone go?

(We must get a 1000 replies!!)...:)

hi Clerk ;)

Is it cold in Holland?

Hi Storm! Long time no see! What have you been up to?:) How are things up north?
It’s getting colder and colder here!
But I found myself a guy to keep me warm!;)

btw Is Roxlad also still around?

You are very lucky Clerk ;))
any plans for Xmas and New Year? ;)

No special plans for Xmas, probably will spent it with my family/boyfriend, with presents ofcourse!
And New Year I’ll be with friends, not sure if I’ll go into town, we’ll see what happens...I will watch some fireworks ofcourse!
How about you?

I‘d like to spend Xmas and New Year in Oslo this time but I doubt to have money enough :(
it´s -1C btw. I love winter!
cheers.

wanna say Hi to Roxlander :)

just got your email, pal!!

can I ask you guys a question? maybe a silly one.. but can’t help...

is that true that most of gay people are atheist?

I’m just curious. Hope I won’t offend anyone by asking this...

no but alot of us don’t support the establish for of christanity that most of the world follows

god does not discriminate only stupid people do

hey Majdy, it’s strange, but I noticed it too. Many gay people that I met are atheists. Im not. Even though I believe in God in my own way. I don’t go to church often.

I agree. God is not discriminate.

I’m christian and believe in god, but with my own way..

I think that any preacher who would take the risk of marrying a gay couple should be commended

Hi Majdy,

I wouldn’t say that most gay people are athiest, though honestly, if they were, I wouldn’t blame them! Organized religion has done so much to persecute gays, telling us we would go to hell, that we are evil... no wonder gays aren’t turning up in droves to church.

But when you say athiest, it means that one doesn’t believe in God or any other God. Most of my gay friends (including myself) do believe in God, but we just don’t go to church– and if we do, it’s a gay-friendly church.

I know. I think I can understand how are you feeling. well, actually church or other religion has discriminate to many other people, not only gay, with their “small” perception..

but I’m glad that now some church are becoming more friendly and open minded...

I am not a gay, but I’d love to go to a church where people there accept the gay people, where preacher won;t say stupid things like gay will go to hell etc...

I had a very religious upbringing, when I came out, I had to leave my church, as I don’t want to live a lie any longer, I had to make the choice, live an honest open life, and do the things which I feel are right for me, or live a life that tells me what to do and tells me who I can NOT be. So I decided to come out, and I have never been happier. I have ost lots of friends and loved ones, because I came out, but this is what I had to do. But I am still very religious, I still pray almost every day... I don;t go to any church though...

.

happy 1000 replies!!

:)

YEAH! 1000 and 1 replies!!:)

How is everybody?!

@Echoes It’s good to hear you’re doing well!!:)

.

@Echoes That’s great! Have you given him yours?

.

There is someone new who wants to join your club, lets welcome “pointejupiter85” all though I do warn you he’s a bit of a prat!!

So who is he? Is he a TDR member already? And gay? Cool!!

He hardly seems gay... already fu-*ed DSR ->
http://www2.dailyroxette.com/smalltalk/thread.php/9497

He’s a prat in my opinion... NOTE IN MY OPINION!! Please don’t all shoot me at once.. he had a go at one of my friends.. so I had a go back... I don’t get good impression of people like that!!!

U sort him out, honey - u’ve got my support!!

Thanx!! I do hope he drops by tonight!!

@Storm hahaha! Don’t think I wanna meet that guy!!lol

@Echoes Things are going great! We didn’t do too much last weekend, cause I’ve been sick for the last couple of days.:(
btw How was your weekend?

clerk I see you like Kim Wilde too... great. Did you hear her song with Nena?
cheers.

Hmm, I’d say Clerk LOVES Kim Wildes Song with Nena!!!!

Nah.. don’t like it...hahaha...just kiddin’ I like that song a lot!! I do have the cd-single!:)
I wonder how Echoes knew that?;)

Just wanting to wish Everybody on this unique discussion a Wonderfull and most successfull new year! May everybody here find the love of his/her life this coming year, if that hasn’t happened yet! ;-)

Hey guys! How is everyone? I don’t post so much here, but I like to read. I broke up with boyfriend and I feel so blue lately. It’s hard coz I have nobody to talk about.
Anyway, I would love to meet new Roxette friends.
Especially from Sweden. I have msn address [email protected].
Have a great and happy new year! ;-)

Marc

Hey Marc... sorrry to hear that you broke up with ur Bf over the feeastive season... if it helps your not alone; if I’m not breaking up with a bf, I’m heading for one!! hehehe!!

Will drop u a line sometime!! Keep well & don’t overindolge now!!

I just broke up with my bf 11 months ago after three years together..it’s been very hard but finally I think things are going better now. Happy new year to everybody from Barcelona ;)

F***... what is this trend? Do they wait for the Xmas gifts before they dash?

BTW... a little public congratulations to carbon_boy who got engaged to his partner (of 2 years?)... just goes to show that there’s still hope for us single folk!!

No, not all of them wait for their christmas gift before breaking up with you, two weeks before xmas, my boyfriend got me his xmas gift for me, we were away for a weekend, 5 star hotel and everything, it was perfect!! So, then a week later he broke up with me... I was totally heartbroken... on christmas eve I put a small gift I got for him weeks ago through his door, when he got home from work he phoned me immediately, saying he needed to meet up with me... so we got back together! ;-) But I know exactly what it feels like, when your bfriend brakes up with you.. it is sooo painful!!!

Thanx Miss Medusa :o) Might be popping down to CT sooner than you think - can’t wait.

;o)

Look what I found gathering dust!
It’s been a while since I visited this topic.
Well gotta bring it back to the top!

So tell me, how are you guys doing?!

For those interested...

Alanis Ordained Minister, Makes Appearance at GLAAD Awards
(By http://www.alanis-morissette.com )

Alanis Morissette has another title to add to her credits. She has recently become an ordained minister. In opposition to President George W. Bush’s stance on gay marriages, the singer took an online course to get the license. At the 15th Annual GLAAD awards, Alanis told the press that he now hopes to marry some of her gay couple friends.
Alanis also performed at the awards show, including the song ’Ironic’ where she added a little twist, instead of the usual lyrics she sang: “It’s meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful husband.”
http://www.alanis-morissette.com/glaadawards.jpg

That’s my girl!! She’s so much larger than life!

Yeah, Alanis is great! But there are more celebs that speak their mind about the subject, Christina Ricci for example.

Speaking of Xtina Ricci - have u seen the Laramie Project... still gives me goosebumps!

Listen to HIM. They ROCK!

In Costa Rica’s concert last year Alanis changed that part too in Ironic, and people went crazy applauding. In a “macho” country that means so much.

They will play Boys Don’t Cry on indonesian television this May. Can’t wait. this movie was so touching... anyone saw this?

@Purple medusa Haven’t seen this picture yet, really want to though, i like her movies! Monster was excellent!!

@Majdy Saw this movie a long time ago, but it was great!

I just bought the seasons of the US version of Queer as Folk, never saw it, I only knew the british one, but i gotta say i really like it a lot!

Clerk... u must be the first person who actually liked the US version!

Well, the story line is the same so far, so the only difference are the actors and they are better looking than the british actors, so the series are basicly the same...

And besides I thought the series was very succesfull in the states.

So tell what is it that you don’t like about the series, or is it just that you prefer the original one...

the queer as folk sereis is very successful here in the usa season 4 starts soon.

it’s such a cheap copy of the british one and after copying almost every sentence of the two first seasons, there was nothing left to copy and it sucked even more..btw, I heard season four started already

yeah i did waiting for it on dvd like i did the others. who cares if it copies the british version it does it better and with mor eye candy :)

I’m still watching the first series, but I can’t imagine the second series to be the same as the british second season, since this season was a very short one, only like 2,5 hours...

And gotta say it again, the actors are better looking!:)

anyone here like Six Feet Under?

eye candy? Besides the Brian guy I don’t think there’s one decent guy ;)

@Majdy: Six feet under is great! Isn’t the mother the best?

my fav tv show ever! the character are all great! my fav one is Brenda..

but I like to see Peter Krausse (nate). So handsome :D

Well, its time for this topic to crawl out of the woodwork!

Was listening to F5f’s Har du nånsin sett en dröm gå förbi? and got flashbacks of the movie, My Own Private Idaho. Anyone seen it? Such a gentle film, but this song would’ve made the perfect soundrack for it!!

love River Phoenix rip.

why is it gay men have obsessions with peope who od? lol and btw nate on six feet under just wrapped in those white sheeets YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

LOL coyboy... can’t think of any others tho...?

“Har du nånsin sett en dröm gå förbi” reminds me of “Sharazan” from Al Bano and Romina Power!!!! Anyone else?

btw.... any Rox/Gessle/Gyllene fan from Köln or nearby here?

lets see jerry cantrell from alice in chains was a gay cult icon

kurt cobain

the one owner of stusdio 54

technically james dean was a drug addict and gay icon

if i thought about it i’d come up with a frew more

Hey there!! Wonder if anyone could assist me in find gay-themed novels (male orienated)... or direct me to a site that could help me! I would really appreciate it!

purplemedusa...havent read many gay novels, but i can recommend a book called “Becoming a man” by Paul Monette. Its very moving. You can order it from amazon.

Back to top with you... it’s a disgrace that I had to go & search for this topic... but then agaiin TDR has been somewhat quiet lately!!

Neil seems to spend a lot of time/money on Amazon...

really? i bought it at waterstones actually... but its a great book..try it out. was just trying to help out the internationalr roxette gay boys....and anyone else that is interested, it really is a great read

Neil, you’re a star! Will check it out once I have some bucks!!

yeah you should read it...its basically his story of coming to terms with his sexuality, very moving and i’m sure most gay men would relate to it. I would have sent it to you, but i dont have my copy anymore...i lent it to a friend and never got it back. I might buy it again myself actually as its a good few years since ive read it and my memory is crap, so i cant actually remember much of the story, apart from the fact that i loved it

Its time for a re-union :D

yep! it’s the right time!

I am not gay, but I have one gay best friend :)

also, I just want to say hi to everyone!!!

Majdy, fag hags are always welcome :)

Seems my baby was bored this morrow!! I’m sorry for leaving u high& (and oh so) dry baby... was dashing all over town!!

Miedy... how are you precious? I’ve still not some time to respond to your last mail (hopelessly naught, e’?)

MMm... is it just me or has the family-tree kinda thinned out?

Awww this topic needs some life bringing into it! :)

It does!! Seems like all the fags ignore this page like it’s got some stigma to it!! LOL!

Awww come on PM live it up for us! :)

Im here! :D :p
Goodmorning!

Hey, PM, how are you? yeah, I DID notice about your email :) that’s okay, take your time!

well, lets keep this thread :)

*wipes the tung marks of the screen* Love this picca of my baby; http://tdrmembers.tripod.com/TDRPictures/Vaxjoe.jpg ....!!

Hope this brings our beloved topic to life again!

http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=qw11018124017...

Finally!!! Seems like South Africa is once again ahead of everyone else.... LOL! Well, you know what I mean.

So, Miss M - are we gonna start planning our weddings so long? LOL! Jaja.... hey, today in a months time I’d have been engaged for a year! Jirre mar dis lank - feels like it happened last week!

:o)

*Jumps around* Haven’t been following the news much lately but this is FANTASTIC; knew it was due soon tho!!

So will you & Ed stay in SA afterall?

*shit still owes u a mail*

It’s fab news hey? But ofcourse, all the bloody conservative dicks out there will be raising their voices now about it. One would swear it influences them and their ways of life. Shame hey, shame.

I dunno whats happening with Ed’s US job. He’s very quiet about it. I think he doesn’t want to get too excited, just in case it’s not his cuppa tea. I’m very 50/50 about the whole thing. I have my reasons for wanting to move and I have my reasons for staying. We’ll see. I think when he goes to check it out we’ll be able to make a concrete decision on the whole thing. But for now, we’re staying in sunny SA. :o)

Ja, waar is daai mail? LOL! Soz, Ive been just as bad. :o>

Great news about SA

New Zealand is making progress too:

http://www.civilunions.org.nz/

We’ve also had bloody conservative (and religious) dicks raising their voices about it. Including full scale church protests and marches across our capital city.

Makes me so mad!

*And if anyone’s still looking for a good book to read, I recommend Dream Boy by Jim Grimsley*

i just dont understand do peole thing that us having the right to marry is somehow goonna legitimize us in the eyes of the hetero world, if it was for the financail elements behind ” marriage” would we even bother at all>?

Coyboy... in your opinion is that the reason why hetrosexuals get married - too legitimize their relationship to society or for financial reasons? LOL

’Nana I am posting twice

Super ’Nana I am for posting thrice!!

Hey Miss M, yep - my thoughts exactly. LOL! Thanx for the mail, I’ll reply this afternoon. Was so naaice om van jou te hoor :oD

Coyboy: There’s more to life than sex, money and Roxette....

;o)

Sex, money & Roxette... mmm wouldn’t that just be utopia LOL? Nah... i like the lil things that happen in between!!

ok can anyone help me understand why showtime has released the usa version of queer as folk season 4 overseas first and not in america i wianted this for x mas :(

Do u know if it was released as region 1 atall? If so you can just import it... but that is a bizarre move on their part!!

Just thought I would let you know the good news.

The civil union bill has been passed here in New Zealand
(legalizing same-sex relationships)

http://stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3123194a11,00.html

and no i didnt’ suggest thats the reason why hereos get married, thats always been a religious motive for the longest time, i just think epopel are deriving the wrong idea that gay marriage somehow = equality which it never will. I dunno, the import shows up as out of stock on amazon/cd now, i emailed them but nothing yet, the customer reviews were a bit negative , so i guess i can wait :(

Just wanted to share some exciting news for anyone that might live in Ireland! The Scissor Siters are playing in ’The Point’ venue and supporting act will be ’Daddies little princes’!!! Dadies little princes is a band with the lead singer ’Veda’! Veda is the or one of the three best known Drag’s in Ireland! Everybody knows him on the scene and he’s also known ’off the scene’. anyways, as The scissor sisters and Veda are quite good friends, they asked him and his band to be their supporting act!!! yay! how cool is that! :-)

SO would it be too direct to ask, what sexual positions everybody likes the most??

lol it had to go there didnt it

Trent, this topic has gone on for 37 pages without getting archived....dont ruin it now.
Maybe you should visit gaydar or something...that might be a more suitable site for your questions. Alternatively, i’m sure you can get a book on gay kamasutra from the library

So what’s the problem with talking about sex?
sex is part of our life, our feelings, our spirit, love...and roxette is inspired by lots of others related topics.....

Is roxette a gay band??????????
just joking...

uhm the whole point of this thread was that as far as i saw the moderators didnt’ feel we could matain an adult forum without foraying into the gross sexuall innuendo and unecessary references whioch just came up in that post up there, my sex / sexuality is a very small part of what comprises me and i don’t feel the desire to expunge thingsa about my sex life to strangers, if you do go to some aol chat

It’s astonishing, the number of people who tell us what God thinks. Like they’re getting a daily email from her or something.

For example??
How many?

where are those thoughts???

So Oldag... u decided to join our team! Congrats!!

People agree on some issues, and disagree about others.

A really good sign that someone is wrong and/or quite insecure about his beliefs is when his reflexive response to disagreement is to call the challenger “stupid and uneducated.” Would you agree?

As I was visiting with my family over the new year something rather upsetting happened to me. Everybody that knows me also knows I am gay. But my family has got such a big problem with it. (They are Mormons, not saying all Mormons cant accept homosexuality, but with most of my family - their belief is the deciding factor in this issue.) Anyways, my mother and sister, to this day, can not talk about it that I am gay, because they just feel it is sooo wrong. They took it very bad when I came out to them a few years ago.
Anyways, as I stayed with them, one night this film with Jennifer Aniston was shown on TV. (Sorry forgot the English title of the Film) In that Film, she falls in Love with a gay guy. My mother and sister really enjoyed the film. But after only 45 minutes I had to leave the room. I just couldn’t stand it any longer that my mother and sister love such films and say how they really like such films but they can not even talk to their own brother and son about his sexuality and accept him for who he is. Sometimes the world really frustrates me!!!

-= BLAH =-

@Moin: I know exactly where you are coming from. I also come from a very similar background (not Mormon though). My parents are still not talking to me.

You can email me if you like, its good to be able to talk to someone about it.

*sorry forgot to add: Have you seen the movie Latter Days?*

Well, bored at work and searching all the threads and came across this one! I know it’s been a while since it was last replied to, but thought “What the hell, I’ll introduce myself!”

How’s everyone doin? Didn’t realise there was so many of “us” on here!

yeah there seems to be quite a lot of gay roxette fans...i was quite surprised aswell. It seems that most of the male fans that post on here are gay...with a few exceptions of course...

i hope you mean ’us’ as in people?, cos im no different ! whats normal for me isnt for another, and vice versa ;-)

@_@ am I the only girl??

Where did you find this topic?! Man, it’s been a long time... How’s everybody doing? Still happy?!

No Judith your not the only female... ;)

Nope not happy here... lil moi’s feet’s cold!

I mean gay female ;)

I know what you meant! :)

So what sort of things get talked about here? Obviously nothing “suggestive”!!LOL

well i just got done watching season for of the american version of queer as folk and I am so VERY disappointed, i do understand the need for serious subjects, but its apporached so plainly, the acting seems straind this season, i dunno something was very very OFF

oh and i am officially hiring people to assasinate katie holmes for taking tom cruise off the market!

@coyboyusa Well Mr Cruise is certainly a step up from Dawson Leery!!! LOL. Not so much Pacey though....

Well I gotta admit I had a laugh reading this topic from start to finish last night... I recommend it, as it’s funny in parts! :)

Why can’t people leave me alone! I’m trying to read something entertaining and keep getting interupted by tourists!! How annoying! Only on page 11!

Hey, I read TDR with the boss oddly looking over my shoulder... as if I should be doing some real work! lol :)

After spending the whole winter on the internet, now that the tourists are coming back, it’s annoying me! I’m used to doing nothing!

Hey Ally... mmm gave it a read-through too... well I was suprised by the emotions some of the comments raised... but mostly very nostalgic! Had a good laugh at Ailsa’s little comment in the middle of it all!!

Yeah I giggle at that one too! :) and also I thought of Ted a lot and wondered if he still is with his boyfriend! ?

Hello all, your host is in! ;-)

What ? I must b on drugs... is my eyes playing tricks on me?

HEY BABY!!!

Hello angel! its me!!

Phew.... good to know i’m not seeing things...!! U working today?

Yes just for a while, till 1400. Didnt u have a class today?

Yeah spoke to the guy & i got an extention! Phew! I just thought - what the hell, life’s not meant to be torture!!

So when will u start the project? Or will u start it? hehehe..

Hehe... once i’m inpired!! (That might take some time LOL but as long as i have four assignments @ the end of the course it’s cool!)

I say take pix of u and exhibit...ART ;)

Hehe... i’ll give u a private show!!

*faints*

*kisses on your nose*

Did u get my SMS this morning? BTW u have access to your normal email account?

oooh i must have forgotten my mobile in my car!

No i cant go to my normal email from this pc :(

Damn I can’t get into my mail account.... grrrrr bloddy gmail!!

Use your yahoo email ;)

I cant get to Gmail, the page wont come up!

That’s strange... try in a little while again... strange as i’m having a little trouble with them today to... seem their server is kinda busy today!!

Yes, i dont know...

Baby can u go to Roxette discussion and answer the Obessions topic???

Just have to voice my opinion on something here, why do other gay related subjects get removed, edited or they just file them, so no one else can reply and they just say, gay people should use this threat only?

Sorry, this really pissed me off!!

I don’t know which topics you are referring to, but one thing comes to mind; this is a site about Roxette and not about gay topics. Is that a good enough explanation? :)

Is Off-Topic not meant for anything, anyone wants to discus, obviously treating each other with much respect?

With my utmost respect to you, I don’t think your statement is very respectful to gay people.

Yes, and please use this thread for it. There is absolutely no need to create more gay threads.
And my previous comment was not anywhere near being disrespectful towards gay people. Believe me, you will notice if I’m disrespectful... :D

lol ;)

Your statement:

’this is a site about Roxette and not about gay topics’

is quite disrespectful indeed, as I have never seen you say such things about other things being discussed in the Off-Topic sections..

You have one gay thread, how many do you need?

You are totally missing my point. I am not asking for another gay thread.

Am just wondering when the ’Beyoncé you make me sick thread’ will be stopped. Threads like this may discus gay topics, based on different things though..

And how come then, you are not gettnig rid of all the other discussion points, that come up more than once in the Off-Topic Section? ;-)

This used to be a “happy” thread. What happened with all the negativity?!?!?!

How’s everyone been recently?

Well no ammount of Cookies will make me feel better...! *snif*

Sorry to hear that PM. Try having a cup of coffee? (it might help having some whisky in though....)

Oh no coffee with BAILEYS far nicer... :)

Too creamy! Not really keen on creamy coffee’s. It’s got to be spirits - Vodka, whiskey, any thing really.

Talking about drinks, I’m off out again tonight. Loads of people I know going for a chinese, and then into Town for a few more, then onto a nightclub. Should be fun.

Speaking about potent moist... I’m curious; this concoction was featured in Moulin Rouge (the part where Ewan started holucinating Kylie as an fairy) and in Munders byNumbers (where it’s stated that it’s got the same active ingredient as dope)... what the HELL was that stuff called & where the hell does one get it?! LOL... no i just want the name... it’s been bugging me for a while now!

(not in a mood to spell check now!)

I assume, you are talking about ABSINTHE.
I wanted to taste it too after watching Moulin Rouge. Last year I traveled to Germany and went to this coffee place at the airport upon arrival. They had it on the menu so I ordered a small glass. I have to add that I didn’t sleep 48 hours prior to drinking it, nor did I eat much during those two days, but DAMN did it hit me! I couldn’t communicate anymore and my friend who I hadn’t seen in over 4 years would just sit in front of me listening to me going on and on about how difficult pronunciation is. Didn’t last long though!
Forgot to mention that it’s illegal in many countries, while some other countries offer a mild form of it and you can get the real deal in the Czech Republic ;) Check the net for more info and let me know once you tried it, lol

its potentially fatal can cause permanent halikucinatory problems

lol, well have a word with the Czech neighbours for next time they pop home! :)

Thanx Stillfar! Will do a search!

@ Ally; can i come for tea then? (Just make sure Mamas Barn is playing in the bg LOL!)

@ PM, course you can anytime! :)

Re Absinthe. It’s terrible stuff. Don’t know if any of you have ever tried it, but if not DON’T. It’s disgusting, dangerous and too strong!

I found out that they sell a wanna-be version of it here at a ridiculous price here... however the holucinagenic ingredient’s been removed... i mean what’s the point then? LOL! *someone’s tripping their arse off*

@ Miss Medusa: One of my fave drinks. Tastes like shit if you dont do it properly (dip a spoon - you can buy the proper spoon, like i have - in the absinthe, then coat it with sugar before setting it alight. Drip the sugar into the absinthe). Most of the Absinthe we get here is just high in alcohol content, and doesn’t contain the ingredient, Wormwood, that actually makes you see the green Kylie fairy. It still has a nasty kick. But, get yourself a bottle of Doubs Absinthe. www.doubsabsinthe.com A great start to an evening! And something different to do before you go out.

The active chemical in wormwood, thujone, which some have likened to THC (the active ingredient of cannabis). The effects are different - thujone has stimulative characteristics, while THC is more of a soporific. In high doses it can cause delirium, convulsions, seizures, paralysis, brain damage, renal failure and death.

A fab night out, by my standards.

Later

Does it come with training wheels as i’m sure to fuck it up?

*me thinks i need to come to PE for some serious jolling!!*

*bump*

It’s about time... so do we have any newcomers?

im hardly a newcomer but not sure if i had a brief involvement on this thread back in 2002/3...

anyway, im a female gay rox fan - always been gay - always loved the rox !!!

and im having a another gay rox fan IceAngel coming to stay with me on friday night - who i met through this website - (might even have been this thread)

were friends only, so no hanky panky mind you as im married!!! lol!

haven’t seen this for a while!!

I’m not gay, but just want to say hi to everyone :)

*puts hand up*
im in the club too

where u live natasha? do u have a ’good’ scene?

wow alot of gay UK roxers :-D

I live on the border of Surrey and Middlesex(about 15 mins form Heathrow). Yes there is a always somewhere to go - but im 30 now and married so i never go out on the scene. I met my wife in a bar in Ealing (West London) called West Five. I used to club there every Friday night. I also used to work in a gay bar called Queens in Hounslow (West London) but that has now shut down....I live pretty near Chicwick which is posh West London and there is a great pub bar there called the Bird Cage...always meet my straight friends there as its very friendly with cabaret acts and outdoor space and great food...Obviously in central london the scene is huge (especially around Soho where you the have the famous Candy Bar for girls only). All the big clubs are there too - i used to go to HEAVEN every Wednesday night - that was a blast! I could go on and on....

lol.
i live in newcastle the scene has improved a lot over the last 7 years i been going out here. Its the best in the north i reckon (not inc Manchester)

i been with my GF for over 6 years now, no plans to ’marry’ tho (dont think our grandparents would be impressed) we are buying a house together tho at the min which is a pretty big step i think.

ow leeds isnt bad at all .

wow 2 lesbians that didnt rush to move in together ....:)

God not seen this topic for so long....

haha we been living together 4 years.

leeds is ok but i didnt class u as north really sorry. i meant north of leeds/manc

leeds is northern england, yorkshire folk we are lol

i know lol, i lived in york for a year and used to go to queens court all the time

i adore the lights in queens court , great in summer outside there :-D

I’d like to move to Yorkshire, could just picture myself living in a little cottage like Emmerdale...

Reading this topic going back years is so weird...

Ted, I wonder are you still with Matts?

Ally I wouldn’t dare do that LOL!

Why.....

I’ve not spoke to Ted in ages.... so was just wondering, they seem so suitable for each other!

ps im just moving into a cottage in few week was built 1875 , i hop eits not haunted thats the only thing bothering me lol

Haha i cannot believe this topic is still going!

Ladies and gentlemen, your host! :p

Newbies step on the front row and bow :D

Well I am not a new comer as I have been out for a few years and also been popping in here every so often. But I do remember you Vaxjoe!!!!!! (way back in 2002/3). How are you doing boy?

Hmm so whats happened since then.. um ... I went back to university and have a lovely boyfriend who also likes Roxette (just as well!). He said he would like to go to Sweden to see one of their concerts!!!! (assuming they will perform again). We live in New Zealand, so that would be quite a distance to travel just for a concert but would be totally worth it!!

My baby decided to show face on TDR again!! (God it sucks not being with you my love!! Oh and for those who don’t know Vax is my otherhalf and will be here sooooooooon!!)

Nope Ally I was refering to my old posts... no probs with sweet Ted!!

Hello antz how r u? Im fine..was in SA with my bf now back to greece and hope to be in SA soon.

Wouldnt it be cool if we all met in Sweden at a Rox concert?

wow to have relationships in other towns is bad enough LOL.

Hehe well somethings are worth the while... and I don’t settle for average! ;D

good for you then fella, im same.

I just been reading some of the OLD threads on here- the bit about fancying per/marie made me think.... i was obsessed with roxette from the age of 7. fancied both of them if im honest, but per more so esp. from the ages of 11-15 (u know when ur supposed to be into guys). got back to reality when i was 16 and realised i was gay.

they are both attractive but to be honest i do not fancy either of them really i just admire them so much wouldnt want to sleep with either of them.

Completely with you on that one Claire!

I didnt fancy Per cos I always knew I was gay but I was sooo into him. I loved what he wore with his tight trousers and long jackets with a bandana around his nexk - and I LOVED his hair - I wanted to be him - but I never fancied Marie though either - not in general anyway.

Having said that she is SOOO fine in the Listen To Your Heart, Dangerous and Silver Blue video! wow what I WOULDNT do to her if I got hold of her then....sexy woman!!!

I read an article where she said she put 7 UP in her hair to make it spike (im sure it wasnt true) but i went out and bought some and poured it over my hair to make it stay “up and out” like hers did back in the day!!!! teenagers hey!

I love Roxette, I would just prefer to sleep with Angelina Jolie !!! lol!

Marie was hot back then but so was Per. i wanted to be Marie but i wasnt allowed to dye my hair lol.

Natasha- have u got a civil partnership thingy? or did u get married abroad? hope u dont mind me asking.

not over keen on Jolie like. love Dana from L-word, Emma Basden, Kelly Smith, Pink (sometimes), Britney (in the old days lol) & Danni Minogue.

Debs and I were “blessed” by the Metropolitan Church in Hyde Park at London Gay Pride back in the summer of 2003. We have our certificate framed on the wall. It was signed by 2 witnesses (our friends) and we exchanged rings.

Because it was way before the whole civil partnership thing we called it marriage cos it was the closest thing we had to it...

Then it became legal to enter into a civil partnership in December last year....so technically we are not married but we call ourselves married cos we did it 3 years ago and it feels too weird to stop....

we havent had the official ceremony in the UK yet as we are taking a year off to travel and we would like a beach to find the perfect beach and have the wedding there...we will tie the know officially when we come back to the UK ...

but ill tell you what gets to me - its still not officially marriage its just a civil partnership - straight people are allowed to get divorced when they want - we have to wait a year - and we are not allowed to ask for a divorce on the grounds of adultery - whats that about - that makes me sick !!!!!
Im not complaining as im so happy that we are being acknowledged - but who the hell do they think they are telling us when we can and when we cant get divorced !! its still not a fair system !!
there is still a long way to fight for equality !!!

mmm i know. this might sound strange but im not happy that straight couples cant have a civil partnership, but i guess they will be allowed eventually. i would like to have a CP but the gf not overkeen, she thinks it would be a joke (thanks v much lol). i think we will have to wait a long time for that tho as our grandparents dont offically know about the relationship (ok well i think mine do but hers defo do not), never mind, we are happy and we live as we like so dont feel we need to be joined officially. we already wear rings anyway.

I personally think it should be equal for str8 and gay - whether it be marriage or CP....whatever it is it shouldnt be one set of rules if u r gay and another set of rules if you are str8 - its just b****cks.

then again we could live in the US and have a President who thinks we should rot in hell let alone allow us to get married.
I guss we have to think ourselves lucky that we even live in a country that acknowledges us!

Hey even i would sleep with Angelina Jolie - OMG she looked so AWESOME in Alexander (besides for the fake Greek accent which was VERY troublesome!)

I fancied Per like crazy in my teens, but I also adored Marie, I know most people would say “They Love Her”, but you have to give it to her for her age, she is still very sexy!

Angelina Jolie.... now that is a wonderful looking woman! :)

hey hands off Angelina - she’s mine!!!
I normally have to fight over her with Debs (wife)

I bought my wife tickets to the Premiere of Tomb Raider 2 in London - so she got to meet her and walk up the red carpet.

She was so excited bless her - she was shaking when she met her and she got her official permiere ticket signed too which is framed and takes pride of place in the living room !!!

phwooar she is SOOOO sexxy

I’m glad to see many queens in here, I thought Marie’s diva style had influenced only me LOL!

Gay Rox-fan from south america, Peru

Luv u all!!

Queens...i don’t see any to be frank? LOL!

natasha1 6/1/2006 08:45
phwooar she is SOOOO sexxy

I agree, I’d loved her since I saw her in Hackers! :)

if i wasnt such a sensible person I would be Angelina’s number one professional stalker....LOL

gggrrrrrrrr

Granted she looked good as Lara Croft but i could go for loads of people dressed like that lol. whats with her lips tho? she looks a bit plastic

Angelina in mr and mrs smith is wonderful.

OHG Im getting so horny with all this Angelina speak...

*goes in search of wife*

need to go home and watch that film AGAIN for the 10th time...her and Brad work so well together...BASTARD!!!!! LOL

seems it could be worth a watch from that reaction lol. i much prefer admiring real life people at least u can get an idea of what they are like as a person.
but its always good to have some eye candy- i just dont think there much about on screen at min- im picky!
i do like the england player kelly smith tho- prefer women with a slightly more boyish feel

rachel unitt (england player) gets my vote everytime !!!!!!!!

gggggggrrrrrrr

Claire, are you in the UK and single...? If that’s the case i might have a date for you in Bournemouth!!
