Gay park skiers?

Now, I don't mind bisexual people at all really. I think it is great that they can be open about it without getting ashamed.

But,

When you say "your bedroom should be your business", I understand that it is perfectly fine to have whatever sex with whoever you want. I just don't like it when bisexual people go out in public, and publicizes it to everyone who looks at them.

Don't get this wrong, I don't care if there are two guys holding hands down a street, but when they have on crazy outfits and make out in public, that is where I think it should stop. I mean, I would say the same about straight persons. I would hate it if regular people dressed like Nicky Manaj and made out with each other in front of everyone.

It is also the reason I think why certain people dislike the gay community. Because they publicize it too much.

Just my two cents on the point.
 
Fuck it I'll waste this post in a shitty thread. I personally hate the gay culture. I understand it but I don't support it. Honestly I think it send the wrong message. Especially to kids who realize they aren't straight but don't see any common ground with these ridiculous people in the gay scene. It sort of leaves you in this middle ground where you don't feel apart of anything. To me personally that made it harder to deal with things. Being told for years that people chose to be gay had be knowing that there was no way I could be. It wasn't possible, it was just a phase. As time passed by things still hadn't changed and I wondered more. At the same time I saw these ridiculous clowns out their making a scene in everyone's face and felt I had nothing in common with them. Eventually I finally realized there was no changing who I was, I could try to wish it away and feel bad for myself like I had for years, but nothing was changing. I decided that it was alright to be gay, and nothing was going to change for me personally. I was still going to be the same guy regardless of sexuality.

To me sexuality shouldn't define somebody. Just as though I don't define somebody by them being black or white. People are complex characters with massively different interests, characteristics, backgrounds etc. I feel as though the gay culture is fine with gay being the defining part of their character. It's a damn shame because as society has become more accepting, kids are coming out younger and younger. They're outcast by other kids for not being straight, and feel they don't have a place to belong. Those kids see this gay culture and they dive head first into it. I think it's sad honestly. When you try to become something else to find a place to fit in, you lose part of yourself, your life becomes fake to an extent. Gay people will often talk about how hard it was making sure that their friends never found out they were gay while they were in the closet. How their life was acting and not really them. I feel many of them end up back in that same boat when they join the gay culture.

FTR I have no problem with feminine guys gay or straight. I just feel there is this push to embrace your inner gay and get weird. Dressing up in ridiculous clothes, being a dick to people and trying to out gay the next guy does nothing to progress society. If anything I think it's regressive. IT helps to back people beliefs that the whole thing is a choice and kind of a joke.

The media will push those images though as that's the kind of gay that sells. Nobody wants to see a movie with a gay dude that's like everyone else.

There are a ton of completely normal guys out there that live their lives without trying to be something else. So they happen to prefer men to women, big deal, who cares. It sucks that some peoples problems with gay people as a whole are due to this stereotype that is always getting pushed.

When I saw phish in chicago. I met up with a friend and some of her gay friends. I was hanging out with them on lot after the show for a little bit. The one guy in mid conversation with the people parked next to us told the guys girl friend that she should watch out because he'd like to try to steal her bf.(It was something along those lines) I was like WTF? Dude was obviously creeped out and this guy keeps going along those lines. There are gay people that really think that everyone is gay and they're just pretending to be straight.

Idk, to me people like that and the over the top put on a show gays are giving gay people as a whole a bad name.

I like dudes, but I think the gay culture is fucking ridiculous.

To thread

Yes their are gay park skiers, no their aren't a ton of them that are out. Let's all just stop hating and get ready for some hot laps in a few months.

To the young kids that think it's awesome to hate, you'll probably end up knowing somebody close at some point that's gay. You might feel like gay people are some entity from another planet, but wait. When some of you have a good friend come out I really hope that you'll have matured, and won't be a total prick.

/goodbye
 
Yeah you're not the only gay park skier. Hell, one of the top park skiers is gay and I think only a handful of people know. When he comes out, your minds will be blown... or not because it's honestly not a big deal at all.

I'm assuming when more professional athletes come out that he will as well... if I was in his position, I wouldn't risk it either.
 
Nobody should care but this NS... OP you have my complete ad utter respect for coming out quite openly knowing that NS can be brutal. I'm sure there are many out there but ti's not that easy to tell if someone is LGBT because a conversation doesn't exactly go

"Hi"

"Hello"

"I'm gay"

There's gotta be plenty out there +K to you OP
 
you said that so well. I feel like all of those flamboyant gays just put a shitty name on everybody else who is gay. It shouldn't matter if you're gay or not you don't have to announce it to the whole world everyday of your life.
 
in the U.S. roughly 3.8% of american adults identify themselves as lesbian or gay. let's assume skiers do not represent the median demographic in the US and maybe only .5% of freeskiers are gay. if you apply that stat to the 100k+ members of NS, you have about 500 gay people that ski park.

so to answer OP's question, yes, there are probably other gay park skiers out there.

Ok, you really had to point out that gay skiiers tend to enjoy the backside more, and I'm not supposed to laugh about that?
 
God this is so true.

One of my former college roomies is Gay. He's one of my best friends. He's been in a pretty serious relationship with a dude for something like 2 years now. He's straight as a rainbow. However, he can't fucking STAND the whole expectation that he's supposed to throw a feather boa around his neck, wear a green glittery tank top, tiny pink short shorts to show off his hairy ass, and go roller skating on the weekend, getting a tan while listening to ABBA on his neon orange walkman.

Dude is normal as any other guy. He watches hockey, he skis, he drinks beer, he plays Settlers of Catan, and he listens to classic vinyl. Shit, dude didn't even decorate his room when we lived together.

I went with him to Pride weekend in San Francisco about 4 years ago, and I could tell he was as uncomfortable as any other straight dude. Tolerant, but not even about to get into the thick of all the 'gayness'.

I feel like there are a lot of people from all sides of the gender gap really are just as aggressive and intolerant as the most rednecky christian 'god hates fags' idiots. And they do it to other gay people. People who may still just be getting comfortable with themselves in such an environment. I've heard so many horror stories of people being taken advantage of, and abused by these whackos who then go out and hit the streets whenever they hear somebody talking shit about gays. I really feel for those people who just want something they can belong to without feeling so starkly different to their peers. It's a really tough situation.
 
Ya know it is truly fucked up how our world is the way we hate other people for terrible reasons, it sad that people like op have to hide there true self because our world has frowned upon it. You don't have to Be into gay things just accept them and honor their decision. Op shouldn't have to ask if anybody else out there is like him "differant" because it shouldn't matter. For those people that hate gay people imagine if the world hated skiing and did terrible things to the people that skied.
 
Well I follow the ski world like crazy and I don't have the slightest clue. I'm actually insanely curious.

 
There's a skier at my home mountain who always shred the park with a scarf blowing up in the wind.

So you're not alone in this world
 
I support gays 100%....

i think the reason for all the flamboyant "gayness" is because for so long gays were socially un accepted and considered outcasts. Now that things are much more accepting and open, theyre jumping at the idea of being openly gay. In many years, this will end and being gay will be as normal and heard of as being straight, many people will be openly gay but there will not be as big of a "gay culture"
 
I have nothing against gay people, it's non of my business. It's just those who flaunt it just to start the whole argument that I can't stand. Compare it to when there used to be crazy discrimation against black people and all the racist involvement. In their case people can see who is black and white so there is no need to "flaunt" their blackness because it is obvious. I feel that gay people aren't as easily identified so they feel it necessary to let everyone know they are gay. Why!? Just be happily gay and live your life less people would care and it wouldn't cause as much tension. If they didn't make such a big deal about it and were just gay without "flaunting" it, if I may then people wouldn't give a rats ass because it is not their business. And like I said I have nothing against gay people they can't choose which gender they are attracted to, they are born like that. It just bothers me that they so very much want people to know!!
 
Yo I feel you, the guy on page 1 icon says "enjoy cock" (Enjoy Coke playoff). Does it get weirder than that?
 
Solid post here.

Definitely shows that a normal guy who happens to like guys but doesn't want to go around acting like a fucking flamboyant idiot and playing up to a stereotype is basically FUCKED into a corner by the behavior of "gay culture" and gay people in general when they get together in groups and or collectively advocate for or against things. Either way its lose lose you have to sacrifice your own love life and sexuality or you have to act like the fucking idiots.

The gay culture is retarded and they need to grow the fuck up. Its like if every black guy in society was compelled to act like a rapper or a gangster and speak ebonics at all times.

Those morons do more of a disservice to you than your average straight guy who might be mildly homophobic at times but honestly doesn't give a shit if 2 men want to get it on. The type of behavior you describe is probably the biggest source of hatred towards gays more people probably dislike gays because of the flamboyance and attention seeking nature of gay culture than for their own religious or moral views on same sex relationships.

I don't like dudes but if I did I probably would have to go all in and act it up too because as you say there isn't an option for someone who likes guys to be "normal." I think I'd probably chose my sexual needs and thus go along and become super camp and flamboyant (as opposed to faking it and tryng to date girls.)
 
What? A lot of gay dudes dress normally. In fact, probably out of everyone you see in the average day of the male gender, A lot of them are probably gay and you couldn't even tell because they weren't in some fucking over the top shit that they never wear. Honestly, that argument is so milked and stupid its absurd. They're not wearing tight-ass daisy dukes with shirts that say "I love chugging dicks".
 
wtf

ya im actually gay

save your hate for splice media, steve stepp, and people who comment "first"

my friend posted this as a joke to try to get me hate on NS and he succeeded but I also gained karma so fuck it

 
"only male gay skiers I've seen thus far have been more interested in the social and back country side of skiing"

Not urban with all its brazen deviancy?
 
to be blunt : deal with it.

This is ridiculous. Boo Hoo if you have to LOOK at something you dont like. Life's hard.
 
This is exactly how I am and feel. I am queer, ski park most of the time, and if you looked at me in my baggy pants and tall hoodie you wouldn't tell the difference between me and the next mediocre park rat in Utah. I don't particularly identify with the more flamboyant aspects of gay culture because I don't have to. No one in my crew or the people I ski with give a shit that I have a boyfriend. Because guess what? No one gives a shit. I'm just another park rat. And how I ski is what matters not who I date.

Well said WankerTanker well said.
