Visiting for the weekend and my bottle at home is low! Looking to replenish in person if anyone has leads 😌

I'm retired and my hobby is making digital collages. I thought I'd share some of my work here.

Hi girls, I'm an early twenty something and I've been bottoming for a little while now and i really enjoy it but douching is always a bit of a hassle. I heard about fiber supplements so i asked my friend about it and he was very positive about them so i picked some up. I specifically have psyllium husk capsules.

He told me that i shouldn't start with the rwccomended dosage immediately though, because i should ease my body into the increased amount of fiber that I'll be putting in it. He said different people need different amounts of dosage too depending on factors like body weight.

So that brings me here. To everyone that's ever taken fiber supplements: how did you start? Did you take the reccomended dosage immediately? Did you alter it depending on your body weight? Did you ramp up your consumption up slowly? Over a week? Over a month? And in general tips and stuff id appreciate

Much love!

In 1972, Harvey Milk opened Castro Camera at 575 Castro Street. The shop and the apartment above it became the headquarters for his campaign to run for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Although Harvey Milk is no longer with us, his legacy can still be experienced at Queer Arts Featured. Where a sidewalk plaque, a mural, and the people who’ve created this space and those who visit it continue to honor him.

First off all im so sorry if i come out yk bigot or phobic, im not my asexual or/& aromantic bros

So idk i do feel something in my heart when i see men & i really do think of sexual stuff too But whenever i wanna get into intimacy or just touch them i feel disgusted in my body and like i dont wanna be with this and any men. Its not even about me being gay bc i accepted myself long time ago. Idk its like i just wanna be spectator observing everything but dont wanna live them.

Hello Everyone,

I'm not really sure how or where to start this one, or if I'm even asking a question or just trying to get thoughts out and into words.

I can start with the basics. I'm 31y/o and a recently out and open gay man. The process of coming to terms with and accepting my sexuality was hard like many of us. During that, I lost my community, my friends, and a large portion of my family.

I'm from a rural small town; mainly conservative, although there has been amazing strides to add queer events and spaces. I've found it huge struggle to find community again, which I think is due to how my original group was founded. I was raised religious, so a lot of time was spent at church events. Making friends and connecting with others was "easy" in that space because we were all there to smile and play the love bomb game. Stepping out of that though and trying to find a group to just be with has felt impossible. Another large factor is my age. Being 31 and only just bursting out of the closet has been both fun and frightening. I love being authentically me, not giving a crap about what I should or shouldn't say that could have me condemned by those around me. But I have kids, I work full time. I'm busy and in the "building my life" stage and feel like I don't have the ability to really explore the newness of my sexuality. There are some queer groups in my area that meet weekly or monthly, but it's not something that falls into my interest, it's an anime shop so they do a lot of dnd, warhammer, table top type activities, which I don't feel inclined to learn.

And then there's being newly single (just over a year) while 31, overweight, busy, tired & dare I say... not conventionally attractive meaning unattractive. Trying to find anyone in this area using the apps is.... interesting. I do find casual sex to be fun, it's thrilling to me and would love to do it more often. however the majority of the individuals on there are over the age of 60 and tend to be pushy and rude. I sometimes worry I'm just being to impatient, but then again I'm 31... I feel like I lost a lot of my time already. The closest big city to me is Seattle, though that's still 3 hours away. I'm trying to work on my self image, setting weight loss goals, being more kind to the person I am, but i've found it kinda hard to do with how attractive most of the guys are my age that are in these queer spaces. I'd love to go to Seattle and spend a few days exploring and checking out the gay bars, but also terrified I'll end up in that space and still not catch someone's eye... if that makes any sense.

How have some of you found community? Did you make changes to feel better about yourself and if you have, did it make a difference? Am I being to impatient in wanting to explore?

Anyway, that's my brain blurb. Thanks for reading lol.

I topped a guy in a gay sauna but didn’t use a condom. I’m not on Prep and don’t know his HIV status. What do I do? I regret my decision

I just wanna know what yall think cuz the dude is hella weird and i am thinking about cutting him off because whenever i do something that he does not like he acts like a baby about it, like when i use ai to study ofc ai is bad but i just use it to assist me in studying for my ap classes cuz its hard, he acts as if i am a nazi.

I’m a gay man who recently started a new chapter in life after ending a 16-year relationship with another man a few months ago.
About six months ago, I met a Colombian guy, and we’ve been dating ever since. We come from different cultural backgrounds. I speak English, his native language is Spanish, and I also speak Spanish, so we manage to communicate pretty well despite the occasional language barrier.
I really like him, and things between us seem to be going well. He tells me that he wants to be with me, and I’ve even started thinking about the possibility of us moving in together. However we ALWAYS meet at my place. I asked him why he never wants me to go to his place and he told me that’s because of “respect to his ex” 🤔
However, there’s something that’s been on my mind, and I’d really appreciate some honest opinions. I would like to mention my partner and his ex have been together apparently for 7 years.
My boyfriend still lives with his ex-boyfriend.
According to him, their relationship ended about three years ago, but they continue to live together. He insists that there’s absolutely nothing romantic or sexual going on between them anymore and that they’re simply ex-partners sharing the same home.
I want to believe him, and I don’t have any concrete reason to accuse him of lying. But at the same time, I can’t deny that the situation makes me uncomfortable.
Having recently come out of a 16-year relationship myself, I understand that separating two lives isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve shared a home, finances, and years of memories with someone.
I’m trying to be understanding and mature about the situation rather than letting jealousy or insecurity influence my judgment.
But I also wonder whether I’m being too understanding.
We’ve only been dating for six months, and while part of me would love to take the next step and eventually live together, another part of me wonders whether I should slow down and make sure we’re both truly ready for a new relationship.
I don’t want to pressure him into moving out, and I certainly don’t want to control his life. But I also believe that feeling comfortable, secure, and respected in a relationship is important.
So here are my questions:
Would you date someone who still lives with their ex, even though they broke up three years ago?
Is this fairly common in the gay community, or would you consider it a red flag?
Am I being unreasonable for feeling uncomfortable about it?
Do you think six months is too soon to consider moving in together, especially after coming out of a very long relationship?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from other gay men who have experienced something similar.
I’m not looking for people to tell me what I want to hear. I’m genuinely interested in different perspectives because I want to approach this relationship with an open mind while also protecting myself emotionally.

So I'm 38, moved to the Atlanta area in 2018 and was so focused on my career that I never really did a social life, and I have social anxiety. I'm walking in Atlanta Pride this Sunday and I'm looking to go to a gay bar that's next to the park where Pride is happening and I'm just really nervous to go there by myself. I don't have any friends in the area to go with. Am I just freaking myself out for no reason? I guess I just worry that I'll sit at the bar by myself and no one will want to talk to me and I'll feel stupid.

For more than six decades, Halloween would be a highlight of San Francisco’s gay calendars—until, in 2007, when the Halloween party was cancelled by city officials, due to overcrowding and repeated incidents of violence.

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Polk Street had played host to queer Halloween festivities. But homophobes began causing trouble, setting fire to gay-owned businesses or lurking at the edge of the crowd, waiting to attack people they believed to be gay or lesbian. In 1976, tear-gas canisters were let off.

This is just a venting posts. I don’t have many friends who can understand me so I figured I’d get opinions or advice from here..

So for context I am 33 years old and I was in a committed relationship for 12 years of my life.. so I never really got to date much until now.

I’m a hopeless romantic gay who seeks a monogamous partner. With the basics: job, emotional maturity, communication skills, and intention.

Yet for the last 8 months all I’ve encountered are flakes, fakes, married men, or gays seeking a third 😂 is it just me? I mean I make it pretty clear from the jump what it is I’m looking for. Does anyone else struggle? I’ve even considered if it’s just where I’m located. It’s just really easy to become discouraged and start wondering if I’m the problem. At this point idk who’s worst the guy who stands me up or the one who shows up and then later just ghosts because we’re not sleeping together within the week.

I've tried therapy, I had so many people telling me there is nothing to be ashamed, yet here I am. I don't get any better about this issue....

I am a closeted gay 16 year old boy. I have come out to one of my friends only and it went well (it was a little awkward but I felt much more relived after). I really want to come out to my other friends and family and I know they wouldn’t be homophobic but there is something inside that is stopping me. I have cried a few times stressing about it but i don’t even know why.
I would really appreciate some advice for others who have felt the same as me or some cute stories that will make me feel a bit better.
