even though we both graduated, turns out i will be seeing him pretty often again. he’s going to the same church as i do (if i could, i wouldn’t go to church but idk how my parents would react to me telling them im not christian anymore, so i’ll just wait till i move out). so i’ll be seeing him every sunday and wednesday. he’s homophobic so i know i have no chance with him. i want to get over him but this will make it much harder. not to mention that i can definitely tell he’s been working out more and he’s got a really nice tan now… what can i do?

hey bros, i’ve been a lurker on lemmy ever since the silly reddit API thing happened, and i think this is my first post?? anyway, there’s this guy on my high school’s robotics team that i really like. i should mention that this is a private christian school in oklahoma which is why i’m making this post in the first place. im unsure if this guy is really straight though. you see, he goes out of his way to see only me. maybe he’s just a really great friend who wants to see me, maybe not. but also the night before our state competition, he uh, let me sit on his lap and later on he uh…spooned me for a solid 2 minutes after the other guy in our airbnb we were staying at for the night fell asleep. he kinda played it off at the end like he was messing with me and maybe he was but i’m not sure. there’s some other stuff too like the way he talks to me. he doesn’t talk the same way to anyone else. i really want to ask him out but im just really worried how he’ll take it. pretty much all the guys at my school except a handful of them are homophobic…
oh yeah in case any of you are curious, im the programmer for the team and he’s one of the builders

I used to have a vague idea from when I was on Reddit that the community got set up by Jock gays or masculine gays.
But then I've seen a lot of 'screaming queens' posting on there over the years which didn't match that assumption.
So what exactly is a "gaybro"? Why was the original community created?

Seems to be a lack of gays on Lemmy. Why? Are you all Reddit's pliant, submissive bitches?
P.S. I really love the phrase "rampant homosexual".
TLDR: I'm an older gaybro (48) who was married a long time and has no friggin' clue how to date anymore because the times have changed. I'm looking for advice on how to meet other gaybros in a smallish town for actual dates, not just random sex encounters. Anybody with strategies that have worked or have been fun, please chime in!
I was married for fourteen years and, unfortunately, my husband died a couple of years ago. I'm (and have been) ready to start meeting men again but I was out of the loop of what single life was about so long things have really changed! I tried the Grindr thing. Not fun. Not to mention the fact that so many dudes on there are married or in the closet because I live in a very small, quasi-conservative town. Nobody on there or other apps actually wants a date. They just want anonymous sex, which I think is silly (correct me if I'm wrong) because you don't have to waste your time scrolling through an app for casual, anonymous encounters. Go to the baths or something. Way faster and more efficient, if you ask me!
So, yeah, I get the fact that I'm 48 and I'm not exactly what a lot of other gaybros are looking for. However, I just want to meet other gay men, maybe have a coffee or a meal together, see if there's a connection before I decide I want the sex. I mean, really, screwing around with random guys from an app is just mediocre sex for me. Then again, I'm old enough and experienced enough to know what really good sex is with someone special. Anything on line I've tried, I've put "looking for friends / relationship" in my profile and nobody asks me out. They just ask me if I have "my own place" so we can do the nasty.
Oh yeah, that's the other thing. I really hate having strangers in my house. I've tried it. Not my thing. It drives me nuts. You just don't know who these guys really are. Maybe hide all the sharp objects quickly before they show up! LOL.
I've been to the local gay bar. That place is sad and silly for meeting people. Lots of fun, though, but nobody there seems to be looking for a connection (or even a hookup!). The only conversations I've had there have been with men who consider themselves straight and just want a quick screw with another straight guy. Again, it's a small town, lots of closet cases and people who don't know what they are - not my idea of a fun time for dating. The gay bar these days seems to be full of bros scrolling their Grindr apps on their phones instead of interacting with others.
My question to gaybros living in small towns where there isn't a lot going on: What do you do to meet men for actual dating and not hooking up quickly with a rando to forget about him in 30 minutes? Is this even possible anymore? I do all the other things you're supposed to do, like taking classes, going to the gym, blah blah blah. The thing is, the bros at these activities and places aren't gay and there isn't a whole lot of gay group activities to do around here. It's just not a gay paradise, know what I mean? However, I've been single in small towns before in a previous time (even in a previous millennium!) and there were gay bros that wanted to actually have a nice date (coffee, cocktail, dinner, lunch) and chit chat first before getting all naked.
I'm beginning to think that the reality for me is to live the rest of my life alone and isolated with an occasional mediocre sex encounter that will always leave me dissatisfied, bored, and nervous because I'm always the one with "the place" if you know what I mean!
If you read this far down, thanks for taking the time. I've tried to be specific and detailed about what I'm experiencing so I can maybe get some "hot takes" from others edit downvoted 4 times. Because gay men are mostly bitches and hate old people

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Coming_Out_Day
> National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is an annual LGBT awareness day observed on October 11 to support anyone "coming out of the closet". First celebrated in the United States in 1988, the initial idea was grounded in the feminist and gay liberation spirit of the personal being political, and the emphasis on the most basic form of activism being coming out to family, friends, and colleagues, and living life as an openly lesbian or gay person.

Rocket Man issues rocket for home secretary as senior Tories warn Sunak: ‘Suella has lost us millions of pink votes’
Question for the UK LGBT community: This article makes it sound like the pink vote is significant to the Tories. As an American, I’m having a really hard time imagining how that comes about. I’d accuse it of being slanted, but it quotes a number of Tory MPs who are publicly and strongly criticizing the statement.
In the US, the LGBT vote is pretty overwhelmingly Democratic. There’s a small group that support republicans, but it’s very rare - to the point it’s something worthy of notice and a point of contention.
So, is the portrayal in this article accurate? What are the politics over there? I’ve been active politically since the days of ACT UP, so I know what things are like over here, but I’m completely stunned by what they’re presenting about the political alignment over there.

Hey guys! I've been getting back into dating after 10 years (!) and I'm feeling a bit out of the loop with some things. I got onto an app, took some nice pics, did the swiping and made good chat about the things on his profile. Now we're up to the date part and I'm feeling a bit stuck so hoping you can help!
What do you think would be a good first date experience? Also what would be a bad first date so I know what to avoid?
He's into video games and anime but also walking and the outdoors, he's got a puppy too so that could be fun to incorporate maybe? Or would that be too much? We live in a coastal town so the beach is an option.

- abc7.com Temecula votes to remove '+' from LGBTQ in city proclamation
The Temecula City Council approved changing its Pride Month proclamation and voted on two other issues impacting the LGBTQ+ community.
One guy in my office has the fking fattest ass I have seen in my life. He is just so god damn fine.
I commute with the bike and so a lot of people here in my office and we have showers to freshen up. People know im gay and no one really cares (except one russian guy, but thats another story).
Anyway there is this guy, mid 40s, that I can sense a small pinch of fruitiness. He has really the fattest most delicious bubble butt that I have seen in my life. I dont see him often in the showers, as we arrive at different times, but once or twice a month I will meet him in the showers, and my eyes just can't!
I thought he was gay, but he is married. The interesting thing is, he brought his wife once to an office thing and his wife is really butch, like if he is completely straight, he is definitely getting pegged (which I completely support!)
Anyway, I dont have anyone to talk about these things in real life, so there.
