Can we add a gay/bi/lesbian board?

What do you think? Could it work? I think it would be great for the same sex community. I'm all for it.

I think someone asked this before. *The reply was that for the most part the sexual issues crossed the gay/straight boundary. *In other words, what works for women in Pleasing Him also works- more or less- for gay men. *

I wouldn't have a problem with a Gay/Bi section, but realistically I think there are only about 5 of us on here... so the chances are slim. *I also kind of like the "all for one" attitude of this board. *For the most part, no one has ever had a problem with my responding even though I'm that "queer guy". *Nor has anyone had a problem with my bringing up gay issues. *That's pretty rare in a majority straight site.

I woudn't mind a seperate board, and i agree with oberon, that there are just a few of us on here...so not sure how active it might be...but it may push a few folks to feel freeer to post some questions there.

That said, if i wanted to post to only gay folk, i know dozens of boards i can post to...so ikinda like this setup!

[Greendale]

Rawbob, since you know a lot of gay/lesbian/bi boards, can you reccomend me a few by pm'ing them sites to me? Thanks.

[oberon]

Hmmm... you didn't ask me, but I'll respond anyway, try gay.com. It's probably the biggest. And it breaks down into sections of the country (I think... I tend to go a bit further abroad), so you can talk to guys in your area. You might also check out Yahoo personals... you can list what you are looking for and a mileage range (like within 5 miles of your zip) and get matches. All you need is a yahoo id.

i think they should add a disscusion section like the :new to sex
or pleasing him / pleasing her
There are gay ppl who are here and there really isnt anywere to ask gay ?'s

[camman]

actually u guys were sayin how not to many ppl would be on it ... but how many ppl normaly respond to the " new in the new" form ud deffinatly get more hits then that.
You would have to watch out though. You'll have lots of old fat men prettending to be a young 18 yr old lesbian . Just a fact of life

Maybe... I like the way it is an open board too. I think it would be cool for people who are too shy to ask a "gay" question outright. But like I said, I like the way it is now too, so maybe.

[oberon]

LOL, monie. *However, all you have to do is type "gay" into the search function and you'll find a lot of posts. *Anyone reading them will soon come across both Rawbob and myself... as well as Brandye. *None of us are exactly "shrinking violets". *I would hope that would give them the courage to ask anything they like. * If not, they are always welcome to private message me with their question(s).

Very true Oberon. You, along with Rawbob and Brandeye, provide a good aspect to this board, one that provides good, often reassuring advice and perspectives. Keep it up!
