But my story is this. I lying in bed this morning. Sitting up, having a cup of coffee and playing around with my laptop. The window to the bedroom was open. It faces out onto the small courtyard of our apartment complex.
I heard two girls come out of the entrance. One of them had just moved into the apartment opposite ours about a month ago. Haven't really spoken to her much. Just the odd "hello" and so on in the corridor.
Anyway, the girl and her friend were talking. About how lovely the apartment is and everything. The conversation was something like this.
"So, what are the neighbours like?
"Ah they're grand mostly. Don't really see any of them much. There are two gay guys living across from me."
"Really? What are they like?"
"They're lovely. It's so cute. They seem really nice."
I had to seriously resist the urge to shout "Thank you!" out the window!

Remember this? Well, it continued on from there!
We started talking a bit more when we would bump into each other in the corridor and stuff. Billy did too, despite being a bit shy at times. We're now really good friends and neighbours.
Over Christmas we spent a good bit of time in each others' apartments, having drinks, eating too much and just hanging out and having quiet ones. It was really fun.
Of course, with the wine and beer, it tended to make people say things in a less than tactful (but good-hearted!) way.
The classic one for me was when she said: "You know, I'd never let two guys into my place when I was here on my own. And I'd never go into their place on my own. But I feel a lot safer around you two guys. I don't know why..."
I cracked up. I sincerely cracked up and was in stitches laughing. I don't know why I found it so funny, and maybe it was one of those times where you just had to be there.0 -

I have two small stories the first which I recalled after reading this post:
See, I wouldn't consider myself camp at all, in fact, I pretty much despise anything girly including "doing the hair" or stupid shows like my super sweet boob job or whatever they are.
But apparantly... :rolleyes: not being straight (anymore) changes all of this? After coming out to a number of friends in college, I decided to come out to one of my best friends in "the real world". She was sitting on one side of the room, and I on the other.
I turned to her and I said:
"Name, look I've something to tell ye, and it's kinda big, so can ye keep it under wraps for a while"
She gets that kind of gossipy look in her eye and asks what it is..
"Eh, I'm bisexual" [Hold Breath awaits shocked gasp]
Instead however, she lets out a huge squeal, starts clapping her hands frantically, smiles and says "oh my god oh my god oh my god! We can go shopping!!"
I look at her, apalled and just say "Eh, no"
The utter look of disappointment on her face!
Another time I had to explain to one of my friends over and over again that yes, non-straight people actually did exist in real life and no, they weren't just on the telly. :eek:
So any funny stories?
The funniest thing I have ever heard in relation to the LGBT community was last year when Youth Defense ( who have or at least used to have their offices on the same street) hired a truck to advertise an extreme anti-abortion poster opposite Pantibar.
Call me nuts but I just don't think many gay people are the Irish demographic most affected by it's abortion laws.
They also hired to park outside the rape crisis center later that day
I don't know what the thinking was in relation that one.:rolleyes:0 -
