Melissa Etheridge Getting Divorced

[The Sushi Hunter]

Sushi ...I think you had a traumatic experience and received no support from your mother, who should
have had your back!!

After I grew up, moved out and made a life for myself, my mother told me that she had wished that I grew up to be gay. Perhaps this is the reason my wife the most important person in my life.

Wow I don't know why anyone would wish that on anyone, and especially a mom. It's not an easy life and that makes no sense. I think maybe that's why you are so sensitive to it all then.

I totally agree!!

Sushi, I remember you talking about this several months ago!! I can only imagine walking in those shoes!!
I believe your mom's reaction to the incident would have hurt me more than the incident itself!!
Made you a better father, though, didn't it?!?!

My mother wished this so for a few reasons, she gets along with them very well and has for many many years now. My mother was also involved in the arts such as music, fashion and design. She knew many professionals in those fields who are gay. So she felt that for me to be gay would get me involved in those types of fields as well.

Well that's what she had THEM for. It was her job to find things in common with YOU that the two of you could bond with. That's different for every child. No matter how many you have. Whether they are boys or girls.

Maybe she just wished you were gay for her old age. Gay men really take care of their mothers.

Jana, don't be so rediculous ok. Just because I don't believe that kids should grow up in gay and lesbian homes doesn't mean I have a skewed view of gays and lesbians. For pitty sakes, it's not like I'm going out and gay bashing like Alice did in Reno.

Hey, when that guy in Reno put his hand on my bare thigh for the 4th time, it was not gay bashing. The guy needed to understand where the limit is.

My problem wasn't your view on that at all. It was your view that gay men raise boys and gay women raise girls so they can "turn" them. That is what seemed skewed I think...

[Jana]

that's what I was referring to, also.

[StevePerryHair]

that's what I was referring to, also.

And with what he said, I am wondering if maybe her reaction was even of disappointment that he didn't accept the advances the guy made Maybe she expressed to them that she wished he was gay? That's kind of a sad thought though. I hope not.

Maybe so. I've never had the urge to strike someone for this type of thing though. I would just move away and ask WTF is going on here.

Hey Steveo, next time it happens just ask the guy if he's clean or dirty kitty. After he answers just say "I prefer it the opposite way, sorry not interested" and move on.

And, see, I always thought that it was the really agressive ones goals to have false front teeth by the time they were 25.

If it took that guy 4 times to understand that I didn't want his hand moving toward my junk, he deserved what he got. Apparently everyone who witnessed it thought so too.

[Arianddu]

Hmm, drunk guy hitting on you, ignores all body language that says you aren't interested, ignores direct verbal requests to stop... hmmm, sounds rather familiar. If you wanted people to be horrified by your experience, try somewhere that doesn't have women. Because the only difference between what you got once and what most women experience by they time they turn 16, is if you'd been a woman, you would have eventually told him to fuck off (or words to that effect) and leave you alone instead of hitting him, and he would have called you a bitch, telling you he was only being friendly. Oh yeah - and by the time you were 21, it would be so commonplace that you wouldn't even bother telling other people about it any more. And the guys around you would probably have told you that you were over-reacting.

Welcome to the world women live in, honey. Try to remember the feeling the next time you're hitting on some girl who isn't smiling or laughing back.


Sorry, while I know it's a shitty thing to have happen, I don't really have a lot of sympathy for your whining. I've been getting that sort of crap from guys since I was 11. It's got fuck all to do with the guy being gay, and everything to do with him being a guy (and an arsehole.)

Whining? Me whining? No, I just handled the shit and moved on. I would expect, if some guy were groping you and you had asked him 4 times to stop, that you would at least defend yourself also. First of all, if I had the hots for a complete stranger that I just met at a blackjack table I would know better than to have my hands all over her within the first 5 minutes of conversation and would instinctively know that such behavior would be inappropriate, especially if I was getting either verbal or non verbal communication to reinforce that she didn't want to be messed with.

Hahaha....good point. When I was in second grade I sat in front of this really cute girl and one day I turned around and told her that I thought she was beautiful. Before I knew it she popped me with a closed fist square in the face right between my eyes and said "my father told me to do that if anyone tells me that." I'll never forget that.

[SERE]

[
So....why is it that only gay men couples have boys and lesbian women couples have girls? Maybe the answer lies with my parents friend who ended up hitting on me when I became legal.

I don't think that's always the case. There is a lesbian couple with a child in our grade school and they have a boy. And are you suggesting the would hit on their own child?

I think it's more of wanting to "turn them out" according to their preferences.

Huh? so you were a GROWN MAN and hit on by a gay guy.... and that means that gay me are trying to turn out their OWN children? What a leap

The very first time we were together after I had became a legal adult, dude rubs my inner thigh from under the table, what do you make of that?

That he was returning the favor?

From what I've read, people like Sushi who carry on too much about gays are hiding something.

I could never love a man like I love a woman.

And there is NOTHING wrong with that at all!!!

Depends, Alice tends to believe that I'm a homophobe.

After some of my real life experiences, I'm the one who should be a homophobe.

Yeah, punching a dude in the face for coming onto you.....I think some anger management classes are in order.

Fuck that! He's lucky if he only gets his face punched. Some dude squeezed my thigh in a movie theater once, I pulled out a .45 and stuck it at his temple...pervert must have been a track star 'cause he was outta there pronto.
