Well, I responded nicely and INappropriately...that should count for something.

Now I'm afraid that I'm in the "some people" bucket.

Oh, oh, I see. You want to be "supported" when you write things that make no sense and are illogical?

Let me know when your plane gets back from Fantasy Island.

oh, ck, dont you have a summer home in the other people bucket?

SweetQ, think of it as finding out your cousin is a lefty...and sucks you know what.

It makes no sense and it's illogical?

If you feel that's the case, you aren't reading my first post on this thread.

Or...you have comprehension problems.

I'm not sure what you expected. This seems like something better suited for a personal blog than a message board.

What exactly were you looking for? He's not dying of cancer. He didn't try and assassinate the president. He's gay. So?

I like being in other people's buckets. It's kinda my thing.

Also Q - how does this really effect you? You were not close enough for your cousin to come out to you personally - you got the info from your father.

And CK - I need to go get a bigger bucket - hang on...

You think so? Cuz here's what you wrote in your first post on this thread:

"Am I surprised? Not really. Am I shocked? Of course."

You're not really surprised. But you're shocked.

Please enlighten me as to how that makes sense or is logical?

Which is why I stated:

"Yes, I can just see the attacks coming but I just feel the need to start this thread and express how I am feeling."

I wanted to see if anyone else delt with this and I wanted to see how they handled it. Obviously nobody can take it seriously.

cheeze: No, my cousin has not come out to me yet. I do think he will in the near future though. That doesn't mean we aren't close.

What is there to handle? He came out. His family supported him. There is NOTHING to handle.

[cheezedoodle]

Posted: 8/30/06 at 5:02pm

But that is my point - what exactly is there for YOU to handle? As a gay out man - I made sure that I told all the people I respected personally. Is your relationship that close? If so - I would be talking to him - not us.

Look, you're yet another young straight girl on this site who thinks somebody in her life coming out as gay is about her, and her reactions, and the "feelings" it calls up in her and the impact it has on her. And you can go on and on about how nobody loves the gays like you but you betray your own ignorance with such a post.

It's not about you. It's about your cousin.

And, again, you're not surprised but you ARE shocked. Makes no sense.

Whom I imagine yelling "De plane, de plane" when SweetQ comes back from Fantasy Island.

Crap Roobo - I don't think we could survive another "corner"!

Posted: 8/30/06 at 5:07pm

can you be surprised but not shocked, though?

[SweetQintheLights]

Posted: 8/30/06 at 5:07pm

Namo:

Shocked: Something that jars the mind or emotions.
Surprise: To strike or occur to with a sudden feeling of wonder or astonishment, as through unexpectedness.

And what I wrote said exactly why I was not surprised. Because it was really unexpected. I did have somewhat of a feeling.

[colleen_lee]

Posted: 8/30/06 at 5:08pm

So if it was not a surprise, why were you shocked?

They're synonyms, darling. If it was expected, it would not be a shock.

SweetQ, I have always liked your posts and you seemed like a sound human being...

but I find myself agreeing with the opposition in this thread.

Stereotypes are never fun.
