Over the last 30 years, the ways gays self-identify has diversified almost exponentially. In the cold dawn of the ’80s, there weren’t many choices for men who prefer the company of men. There were so few in fact, that caricatures of those roles seemed to fit neatly in one vocal group: the Village People.
Bear culture changed all that. And then along came puppies and handlers, and soon after, the daddy/boy dynamic appeared. Add to that such already well-established roles as master and slave, dom and sub, plushies and furries (those attracted to stuffed animals or dress like school mascot variants) — and you have one very colorful patch of humanity.
Over period, each of these subcultures has developed a code of conduct and their own rules of engagement. Yet ve
Who’s Your Daddy?
Blood on the Clocktower is special. That’s always been apparent. Steven Medway not only succeeded in making a enhanced social deduction game, he set a benchmark that might not be surpassed anytime soon.
But while I’ve enjoyed my time with Blood on the Clocktower, it wasn’t until I was invited to a session with a local gay gaming group that its true power became apparent.
Personalities in collision.
Our story begins not with a murder, but with a hug.
Nine hugs.
More hugs than I’m accustomed to, if I’m being honest.
I was here courtesy of a friend. He was recently out of the closet and bright in a way I’d never seen before. Face upturned, eyes alive. I’d always known him to be… “whimsical” might be the synonyms, given to unusual hobbies and enthusiasms, but silent, too, a person two frames out of sync with the world around him. Until recently. Until his world was thrown into disarray by his acknowledgement of his identity. In that disarray, something about him grew paradoxically clearer. Like t
Pierce said he hadn't seen the man until he approached the family and began yelling.
"He was standing there for probably a full minute," Pierce said. "I told him, 'Get away from us, verb away, stop talking to my son, get away from our family!' Both children were just sobbing."
The man continued to yell, telling him, "That's not a family! You're rapists and pedophiles. You snatch Black and Asian children and you rape them."
No Amtrak employees were in sight, and the recover of the passengers appeared unwilling to get emotionally attached, Pierce said. His husband, Neal Broverman, then got up to position himself between them and the man, and Pierce took the children away.
"I said to them, 'You realize what, this is a scary place, we're going to move away from this scary man,'" Pierce said.
A spokesperson for Amtrak told BuzzFeed News the conductor reported the incident to its operations team after observing the interaction. Officials then held the Coast Starlight Train 14 at the Diridon Station and contacted the Santa Clara Sheriff's Office to respond.
The family moved four cars away while polic
Gay Relationship Advice: Age Gaps in Gay Relationships
Many of my LGBTQ counseling clients ask me why they are only attracted to gay men younger than themselves. If you are happy dating gay men in their twenties, then this question is not important. It’s like asking “Why do I opt for blondes over brunettes?” My advice is to allow yourself enjoy dating whomever interests you (as elongated as they are over the age of 18).
Age gap relationships are more common than you may realize. In western countries:
- 1 out of every twelve male/female couples has an age gap of 10 years or more
- that number increase to 25% in male/male couples
- and 15% of female/female relationships
That same research indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more committed to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some research that points to a correlation with higher rates of divorce. Research also shows that couples with an age gap of less than ten years are happier than those with an age gap greater than ten years. You can find more details on these stats on this episod
