pics of WSOP outfits?

Lol so I was watching a buddy of mine at WSOP during his day 3 and this other online kid is watching too, don't even know how it gets brought up but he goes "man look at that freak playing in day 2 over there" and points to you in your pink hoodie. He goes "man now that Somerville came out all these freaks feel comfortable to play I would be scared sitting across the table with them staring at me and ****"

I fake laughed at him but then was depressed for a few days after that I didn't defend you/myself.

Are you gay? Does he know you're gay?

Yes and no obviously

Man, that sucks.

It must be hard hearing friends talk like that, not knowing they are talking about you.

I hope you get comfortable enough to talk to people like that soon. Studies have shown that people become a lot more tolerant when they realize that they actually know/like some of "those people". By coming out, you're helping people like your friend in the long term.

hi Nicole


:wave:

- Situations like those do indeed suck... Last year, I went to a housewarming party where I knew the host and perhaps a handful of the guests, but most of the people there were randoms (the host and the people that I knew before this night all know that I'm a lesbian, btw). Towards the end of the night, a smaller group of us were hanging out watching music videos, and a guy who I hadn't met before that night started going off about how the lead singer of the band "looked like a ***." He continued to use this phrase and some other pretty nasty stuff for the duration of the video while the rest of the group (all of whom are straight) either (a) sat silently or (b) laughed along.

Just curious what others would do/have done in this type of situation? Should I say something and risk identifying myself as gay to someone who obviously has a problem with gay folks? Should I expect the host who has a better relationship with this guy to be the one to put him in check? Do you think the host knowing or not knowing that I'm gay would change your opinion of his silence in any way?

To clarify my story it was some random kid I've played a few cash games/tourneys with, not an actual friend of mine. I feel like I should be at the point that I can comfortably talk to anyone about my orientation, so I was annoyed I didn't stand up for myself.

I've been out to a lot of friends for awhile now, pretty sure I'm going to come out to my family soon.

I'm a gigantic smart-ass, so I probably would have said something how it's been proven that overt homophobia is usually a sign someone is closeted and ashamed of their own sexual orientation.

However, at the least I think I would have told him I have gay friends and I don't appreciate that type of hate speech. I firmly believe publicly shaming these type of people is the only way to get them to stop.

I think I would have stayed quiet at first and then I would have revved myself up into an angry state because I think it's something I should be getting angry about.

Heh, that's pretty much exactly what I did in my situation... I stayed quiet, both because

(a) I was debating exactly how to respond, and how forcefully... I mean, I don't know this guy and I'm a guest in someone else's home, and I wasn't sure how much drama I was going to stir up by saying something. I mean, most likely it would have just led to a minute or two of awkward silence, but what if the guy really wanted to get into it?

(B) I was really hoping that the host would step in and say something. Maybe I was expecting too much of him, but I just felt as though the admonition would carry a lot more weight if it came from a straight guy who the jerk already had a relationship with than some random girl who he'll probably never see again. Especially since everyone else was either quiet or playing along with the joke, I guess I was afraid that it would be too easy to brush my comments aside as the rantings of one angry lesbian...

But, I still wish that I'd said something... And, hopefully the next time a similar situation presents itself, I will.

Most of the summer i wore a pink hoodie a lot and also wore shirts like the above.

Lots of bright colors, lots of pink, lots of fun! ^.^

We has different styles. I'm more into this kinda stuff imo.
















and stuffs like this is awesome obv

My eyes!

Pretty kewl huh!

That person is not your friend. I understand not wanting to speak up, but someone who says that is not going to respect you.

I believe you and I might have a different definition of the world "cool".

Fortunately, I'm old enough that I no longer have to care if I'm cool or not. And thank God for that, because I never was cool, and now the burden of having to care and at least TRY to be cool has been lifted from my perpetually nerdy self.

hehe i find those raver/emo/whatever type of clothes can look pretty cute on a guy not on me so much tho lol

You guys should wear whatever the heck you want. Forget anyone who scoffs at you. How insecure must someone be to care about what someone else is wearing, or how they cut their hair, or if they have tattoos, or whatever? Pathetic.

Although, tbh, those pants with the chain are pretty gay, LirvA.

Nah, I think those socks are just to fabulous for you SGT RJ

Probably. I've been wearing white athletic socks with just about everything since 8th grade.

Some of them have colored piping or stripes though. So there's that.

I wear girlier stuff than RJ, a girl?

more feminine would be politically correct

I'm not a very girlie girl. At least not in respect to my clothing choices.

Jeans and t-shirts (or shorts/t-shirts) are pretty much my standards. Mostly dark colors, very few pastels or feminine colors. T-shirts are usually sports or travel related.

Not for nothing I've been mistaken for or assumed to be a lesbian on occasion. Tomboy for life, I guess.

Oh my. Olympic swimmers apparently fit or something.
