Someone mentioned their location in a post the other day and it got me wondering what part of the world we’re all from. I think I’ve mostly spoken to Europeans which is a surprise.
I’ll go first! I’m in the South of the UK on the coast. We’re having a rare sunny day so I’m writing this on my lunch break on the beach 🏖️
Canadian here - all the way over on the west coast in Vancouver. The air is yellow with smoke as the province and a lot of northwestern Canada burns down, but things could be worse.
This you?
But seriously, that sounds terrible I hope you and all you loved ones are safe. I’d really like to visit Canada, it looks beautiful and I imagine the cities are quite fun too.
Isn’t the air quite think with smoke or that way anyway with all the weed?
I’m in Portland, Oregon and we’ve been getting a lot of your smoke the last week. It got pretty bad, though I’m sure nothing like what you’re dealing with.
I remember seeing the sun clearly as a pink dot in the sky last week because of it. Wild.
New York here!
A couple of guys from the big apple! Hope you’re all doing okay over that way
You’re not kidding. Dunno if you saw that dancer who was killed for just being gay and vogueing… so weird and a little scary that bros can’t just be themselves.
Yeah I read about that over here. Crazy that he was just having fun with friends and that’s how it ended up.
It is definitely a bit scary, I’m feeling it less in the UK as a gay guy but it’s picking up here too along with the anti trans aggression. I work for an lgbt+ organisation and we’re having to keep taking steps to protect ourselves, can’t imagine what it must be like for some people over your way
NYC!
A couple of Americans! Good to hear from you
Yeah I’d say we have a good time out here. How about you?
Yeah I have a good time thanks! Trying to make the most of summer while it lasts!
Another bro from the UK here.
Over in London. But right now I’m enjoying Fringe in Edinburgh.
Nice! Seen anything you’d recommend?
If you’re a fan of Improv, The Talkies is a really fun one! For drag, I really enjoyed Ginava’s Messy Friends.
Have seen a few queer stories which have also been quite nice. Once a friend showed me how you can search by categories on the Edfringe website, it’s been so much easier finding these.
If I remember, I’ll report back, but I’m going to see a musical about Alan Turing, and a solo performance called Buff about an overweight guy who gets an Instagram model as a room mate played by Pearse Egan.
South Texas 🥵🤠
Do you have the accent?
I don’t really hear it. But I say y’all more often
Well at least you have the y’all going on!
So far everyone is basically from Europe or NA, I’ll break the trend and say I’m proudly a Gaysian who’s born, raised and currently living in Asia 😁
Amazing! Thanks for checking in, Whereabouts in Asia if u don’t mind me asking? I’ve been lucky enough to see quite a bit of Asia so I might have been to your country
🇲🇾 Yes, it’s infamous for pride watch raids and cancelling an entire music festival over an outrageous gay PDA lately. But ultimately its my home and I need to keep fighting for it
I have been there! I did some of the most amazing diving on the islands, had a great time there overall.
Can I ask you about the gay kiss thing? To me it seemed like a really bad idea for him to do, pda isn’t okay generally there and it’s well known how the government feel about gay men especially. He’s not even gay which makes me feel a bit differently about it, not sure whether it should though.
What do you think about it?
You have one of the cheapest diving spots in the world at the east coast of the peninsula! I have no idea that Matty Healy wasn’t gay at all which makes it worse 😠
Another Brit bro here, living between Norfolk and Suffolk due to work and relationship. Hoping to change jobs soon to make that just Norfolk though.
Nice to meet another brit! Good luck with the job stuff
Delayed as fuck, but Toronto here, Ensign. Good choice in username, instance and franchise by the way.
Ah hello! Thanks for all the memes, they’ve been giving me so much entertainment over the last few days 👌
Thank you, same to you as well. I tried for yours but you beat me to it 😁
I’m glad buddy! That’s what I’m here for. I have a LOT and I’m making some of my own on the side so expect memes for a good long while. People are, for sure, gonna eventually get sick of me but by god I am going to bring as much life as I can for now.
Also Stamets is my man. I’ve had Stamets related usernames on stuff for a while now. Gotta give props to Starfleets Number Gaybro, right?
Absolutely! It’s about time we had an openly lgbt+ main character on Trek! I get the feeling they wanted to do some before (looking at you Bashir and Garak) but the studios weren’t keen.
Oh your feeling is accurate. The actors for both Bashir and Garak openly said they were playing the characters as lowkey wanting to fuck. They’ve been pretty open about it and open about the studio being iffy on it. It makes their connection so much more interesting.
Central California.
