Eh. I live in a smaller town and it's not so hard in here. :  Glad to hear that. I come originally from a town of 24 000 people and when I visit (quite often) I have felt the pressure and have come across with some very strict opinions. I could also refer to the elections, look where the votes for the gay candidate came from and where the other was most voted (or activity percentage was low when people on the left could not get around to vote either one on the second round - for some reason). I sincerely hope that the new generation gets to live more freely and acceptance will be more widely spread because that is the true goal. Living in a town with about 11,000 people, no problems here. Might depend on the country? |

this is a conversation between Eber and Cheeks on Twitter..... Miles Tougeaux @milestougeaux
I nominate @teamhusbands for a Shorty Award in #webshow because I've seen what Cheeks can do to a car shortyawards.com/?category=webs…
Beth @history_Dork
@milestougeaux Can't drop a tidbit like that without details.... can you? What did @gocheeksgo do to a car? #inquiringminds :D
Cheeks @gocheeksgo
@history_Dork @milestougeaux Google "making out." It's the second result.
Cheeks @gocheeksgo Close
@gocheeksgo @history_Dork @milestougeaux *image search, that isThis is Adam related by the way! I feel stupid. What does the picture of Adam and Brad kissing have to do with a car? Is there some urban slang here that I'm missing? (Very likely.) |

Hey, I am curious about something for our non-American friends. Do you find that tolerance is pretty widespread in your countries for gays and lesbians or is it better in big cities? I am just curious. Gays and lesbians here often face hardship while in school, and when growing up or trying to live in more rural or small town areas. Big cities are more free and tolerant of the gay lifestyle. How does it compare? PM me if you want. This is just something I have always wondered about. Actually this one isn't easy to answer. But it seems to me that talking about homosexuality, America is abnormally small-minded country. American glamberts, don't take it as an offence, please. I have a feeling that, thank God, in my country situation is getting better but it will take much time to reach the perfection. Recently there has been a scandal because two men made a couple in the dancing competion called Let's dance. At first majority of people was like OMG, two men dancing together, that's gross and blah blah blah... But what happened next surprised me in the very positive way. Those two men made it into the semifinals. Some months ago I was watching one programme in TV. There was a story about two young lesbian girls. But to the topic, one of them said that she thought two women couples are cute, but two men not. Then I was like wtf, double standards? Is it normal when lesbians slam gays? I'm not a homosexual and tbh I used to even disdain them but thanks to Adam I completely changed my point of view on that. He actually made me a better person. Of course, like some of you mentioned, that city-village contrast is pretty obvious also in my country. OMG, my longest post ever. I'm sorry :-/ what country do you live in ame if you don't mind sharing? |

Oh, in Slovakia. Little country in the heart of Europe. Why are you asking?

Hey guys this is OT but THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
I think someone posted earlier in this thread that her computer was attacked. I've been having lots of issues in the past week or so & today my security software blocked an attack too. I ran extra spyware scans that took all afternoon & over 250 threats were found. Unfortunately when I tried to remove them the computer totally crashed. Ugh. Now I've got a blue screen & Windows will not reboot. JUST A HEADS UP TO EVERYONE - I think there's some weird stuff going on with Firefox & Google Chrome. Please be careful!
I can post from my phone so I'm not completely off-line but now I gotta go spend money to get the dang hard drive thing fixed. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE! It might be a good idea to run security scans overnight to check your system. :-/

Just to stick up for America ... it is hugely diverse. 312 million people at last count. Nine cities at over a million people, 30 cities at over 500,000. And very diverse culturally with generations of immigration. Hard to make generalizations about small minded vs. open minded. Not offended at all, just sayin'. I'm just trying to learn. |
