8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Me and my boyfriend in the park. Guy yelled queer. I gave him a thumbs up. Another time some chavs called us batty boys. I congratulated them on the originality of their insult



People like this always cheer me up. Chavs shout some crap, and you just take the piss instead of getting upset :smile:

5. What's your sexual orientation?

Anthrosexual.



Can you explain what Anthrosexual is? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I just haven't heard the term before and I'm curious :smile:

In short, it's being attracted to people of all genders. This can be because the person actively finds all genders attractive or because the person is 'gender blind' and doesn't factor gender into attraction.

Anthrosexuals tend to believe there are more than two gender identities.

Is there a difference between that and pansexual, or are they just alternative words?

Alternatives. I prefer anthro because it avoids questions like "so do you shag dogs then".

Ah, see when ever I mention the possibility of being pansexual I always get someone asking if that's an attraction to pans...

I got bored and wanted to redo the questionnaire, so it's now slightly less intrusive and doesn't assume a gender binary, among other things. Copy it into a post and answer as much or as little as you want. :woo:

TSRLGBTSQII1. What's your name? It's not my real name, but just call me Mark.
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? Any or all of the following- boredom, general interest and "just felt like it"- are applicable here.
3. How old are you? 17, turning 18 in a few weeks
4. What's your gender? Male
5. What's your sexual orientation? Gay

6. How long have you known your orientation? Hard to say, probably since I was 15 or so?
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? I try and take care of my appearance and have a very colourful taste in alcohol, that's about it. Absolutely despise stereotypes though, they just create hatred and disunity.
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Very fortunately haven't experienced any thus far.
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? Yet I've been out to all my friends for the past few months. They've all been fine with it.

10. Do you know many LGBT people? Other than ones I met through TSR I know absolutely no LGBT males. I'm friends with a few bisexual women who I met at school.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? Not yet, but I might well get involved in the LGBTSoc at my uni. I'm tempted to join just because it has a cool name: Imperial Queers (IQ).
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? No.
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? Not my only political motivation, but I strongly feel that LGBT rights movements around the world are extremely important, and I would try and support them however I could.

14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? Yeah, I have been in a relationship with a guy I met on TSR for a few weeks now. Early days, but he's fantastic and everything I look for in a guy :colondollar:
15. What do you look for in a partner? Affectionate, caring person with similar interests to me- so someone who's quite nerdy and bookish. About 5'8'' or so and slim preferably. Long hair and tattoos are a big no-no.
16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? None so far, but that'll change soon.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? No.

18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? I can't cos I'm underage. And when I do turn 18 I'll probably just go to regular clubs. I'm not looking to meet anyone so I can't see any particular advantage of going to clubs targeted at LGB people.
19. Name some fit famous people. Jensen Ackles, Neil Patrick Harris, Milo Ventimiglia
20. Show us your picture? Afraid I can't, but don't worry, you ain't missing out on much :biggrin:


You should also check out the LGBT Chat Thread (not linked since we seem to get through a new thread every few months) where we chat about pretty much anything constantly.


I would post something witty here to fill the obligatory character requirement for this post, but alas I'm stumped :colondollar:

8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia?A few jokes from my friends and stuff, but I wouldn't say I've had anything offensive, or even bad. Everyone's been quite supportive ( I only came out recently)

16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? Yeah, a couple of times. Can't really remember much about it IMO :colondollar:
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? Nope
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? Sometimes when my (straight) friends decide that the club we're in is too ****e, we end up going to C.C Blooms in Edinburgh which is AWFUL. seriously, don't go. We only go there because you don't have to pay to get in and the clientele of predatory old men guarantees a steady supply of free drinks.
19. Name some fit famous people. Cesc Fabregas, Adil Rami
