That's what I was talking about. netnerd85 wrote on Aug 17, 2012, 13:36: You don't know what it feels like, so don't even DARE try to talk about it. Or what? netnerd85 wrote on Aug 17, 2012, 13:36: There are many ways to build a support system. What is your problem? It's not affecting you? You're right -- it's not affecting me. There's no problem here. I just presented my take on the matter. You don't have to agree with me. netnerd85 wrote on Aug 17, 2012, 13:36: Speaking from LIFE experience. You have a different one obviously? Everyone has a different life experience -- obviously. So, in the interest of opening one's ears and listening, use this web site as a resource. There's lots of links to click on and topics to read that make it clear that not everyone who enjoys games fits the old school gamer stereotype. You said earlier that it's not easy to spot a gay gamer? It's not easy to spot a gamer period. Just like it's not easy to spot someone who is gay. netnerd85 wrote on Aug 17, 2012, 13:36: What does this have to do with gaymercon? It was a conclusion to me describing the positive relationships I've experienced with minority-classed people. In this case, homosexuals. It's about making good decisions and surrounding yourself with friends and family that have a positive impact on your life.
