I'm Only Happy When It's Gay // LGBTTQQIAAP+ // Fall 2021

surm are you feeling any better?

i just received a targeted ad on facebook from The Gay Beards for BetterHelp :|

lol wtf does that mean
i meannnnnnnN! I'm gonna tell you something that s*** felt like daggers were stabbing me in my mouth. repeatedly. all day long.
i finally started to be able to eat something besides soup and ice cream last night
gonna pick out a good horror movie tonight and eat something fucking delicious. been watching the final destination series
maps how are you kitty?

i'm doing swell, thanks. wfh and gyming a lot, surrounded by mormons, just livin life.

also we got married, still so excited you guys haha

it was literally two instagram beard bears talking about how great betterhelp was for finding a therapist. and the title was The Gay Beards for BetterHelp.

like, i really never thought that the dumb appearance-based gay subcultural identity i've been slotted into would be crossed with my mental health issues, but it definitely feels good to know that the sky's the limit with weird and repulsive social media marketing.

aww congrats map!! <3

now that my porn tumblr finally got deleted all i'm left with is perving on a video ad for wrestling singlets that shows up in my fb feed from time to time.

i need a vast and constantly refreshed store of trashy and retro porn jpgs in my life.

I just purchased two issues of a very scarce vintage porn mag by the great Meal Roberts, who was around the time as all the studio physique people but mostly took photos of boy next door, California types. More on him here:
https://www.anothermanmag.com/life-culture/11093/mel-roberts-the-20th-century-queer-photographer-targeted-by-the-lapd

All that I'll say is that my friend was selling them and gave them to me for a song-- one of them is worth twice what he asked.

Obviously, I meant Mel Roberts and my phone autocorrected. Apologies.

map congraaaaaaaaaats!!!!!

felt that way too, in the abstract, but then I encountered a couple insanely hot ppl who were into it and realized in that moment I would 100% hold a leash for the right person

tbf there is precious little I wouldn’t do if someone I was sufficiently attracted to was turned on by it. service switch, innit

i would 100% wear a leash for the right person

but yea completely otm re turn ons. if you're into something and you're also into me and i'm into you then i will be up for almost anything

i just don't think i would look good in a leash
i have no problem with the act i just do not think it would be very flattering
it sucks because i love chokers but I'm a bracelet and earring guy, like to me a cuff is self actualization
I've always a second earring but errebody and their mother says the ones on top hurt like a b

I'm thinking of perma thread names any inspo

Your thread titles are always perfect

Maybe a callback to “i have like no gay friends in town” but on the other hand weve moved past that in many ways

Permanently lgbtqia+

i am permanently lgbtq+ in town

I am permanent. I am queer. I am in town. I am here.

is that some rally I don' know about?

😂 ok good feedback. I'll get cracking. in the meantime, any good stories? new love? old flames? i might be ready for a pre spring fling tbh.

celebrated our 10th (!) anniversary by driving out to desert hot springs for the weekend. mineral water pools feel sooooo nice

Congratulations! We celebrated ours last year

damn y'all! bunch of happy clams over here. real question: what kind of swimsuit do you wear?

I go swimming so rarely that if I do wear anything, it's usually underwear. But also swimming is more complicated with a stoma, so...

I'm really concerned for all the trans and queer teens out there. Reading an article about Texas this morning made me weep.

Hello gays, I have been away from home for two weeks and I really miss my bf!

hi sweetie! are you facetiming? where are you?

UGH tabes <3 - Texas. more and more Republicans. gross. what was the article saying?

I have been away from home for two weeks and I really miss my bf!

i hate when that happens!

last summer i started wearing speedos if i was somewhere gay, or just w/ my bf. or at the beach in p town i wore nothing

i have a cute pair of green and blue swim trunks that kinda look like athletic shorts. i have speedos that i probably don't fit into anymore (and that are kind of ugly anyway tbh)

I'm not sure why it's never occurred to me to wear speedos.

i have a deep, deep aversion

don those sound super cute

hardest thing about swimsuits is that they are always too long, even a 5" inseam looks too long on me bc i'm pretty short so i've been looking for 3". the longer "boardshorts" look comical on me

i think i'd look hella cute in a speedo tbh but would only wear it in the right place

my legs are too large to wear anything but trunks, i have a pair with roosters on them i bought in las vegas at the gay swimwear store. though they are mid thigh.

once when i was desperate for money i was *ahem* answering ads. and this guy really needed me to wear a speedo for him after we ate at the cheesecake factory. so i still have that.

my speedo is red, it felt a bit baywatch to me. i want to find a new color, but most speedos w/ designs on them are ugly. i'm thinking kelly green for this summer.

i think marcos would look hella cute in a speedo tbh as well

this guy really needed me to wear a speedo for him after we ate at the cheesecake factory

i love a specific fetish!

lol

Beefcake Factory

my bf and i have a running joke about the little factory where we ad-lib a construction foreman saying things like "ok boys, time to grease up your pistons, bend over and put your backs into it," etc.

I definitely don't fit into speedos anymore, the last pair I bought I weighed about 15 pounds less than I do now for a variety of reasons.

I should have said 'my speedos'

It's worth mentioning that I almost exclusively wear bikini briefs, tho. I hate any other type of underwear.
