It's just a concept

When some movie, TV show or a book is telling the story of a gay man, it makes you think that accepting your sexuality and coming out is the biggest trouble then the sexy dude gets his lover on a white horse and together they live happily ever after. well movies aren't always true, in fact the reverse is more likely ( Read more... )

Thanks for the most elaborate reply. Hope everything went well with the last exam!

I am not sure if you predicted my next question, it's sort of obvious to me but maybe it's my weird mind :) Why do you need that recognition "by the whole earth"? From how you write about things, I have a feeling that you do not suffer from extremely low self-esteem, and so probably could do without all the validation when it comes to anything, including relationships. I know it would be great if the world were a better place, and I myself want it to be a better place, and invest time and effort to make it a better place, including the gay rights thing. However, the time we all stay alive is very limited, compared to the age of the universe :) so for me having a family with my beloved one, then, in future, having kids (one way or another) etc. sounds like a realistic thing, while making the world recognize our family, a good but not totally necessary thing. I think I am able to be happy without that recognition, and so I was wondering, where that desire for your relationship to be recognized comes from for you. It's interesting to learn about how other people function, after all.

Thanks for your reply as well, my exam went well, that's why I am back :)
((you do not suffer from extremely low self-esteem))
thanks for not saying the true description directly {{ that I am an arrogant being LOL))
The idea of wanting this recognition doesn't come from the way I feel about myself at all.. I think this is what I call, "Immature stubborn impulse" it is like a challenge. I am not even sure it is about making Egypt better as much as making it a better place for me! that's me being honest.
Maybe I am in an extended stubborn period where my warrior is taking the control... I am not sure if that will go on for ever. but I have been like so for a long time. It isn't even the idea here in Egyptian gay people, god no, I am like the extremely odd thing here.

haha no, I totally did not mean to say that you are arrogant, on the contrary, I just like it very much how you combine the ability to listen and understand to what others have to say and at the same time not lose your identity, if you know what I mean...

I think I know what you mean here, anyway, and I can recognize myself some 5 years ago ;-)

Nice to know that people change, kind of give me hope though the arrogant me is still happy with what he is lol.
