So, I crush my BF in most games...

Sometimes I wish FTR had a "like" button, so I could like the shit out of this.

Thanks.

I'm glad you got the chance to explore your sexuality despite your upbringing. I was lucky enough to grow up in a liberal suburb less an hour from NYC. My high school alone had a gay principal with a black tribal armband tattoo, a thriving gay-straight alliance through which I participated in an annual "Day of Silence" like the righteous little high schooler I was, and a drama/choir clique that was not ironically popular but significantly high in the social hierarchy. And I had constant, unsupervised Internet access. Despite what struggles I did have, not having access to information or general support on a community level was not one of them.

I'm pretty sure being in tune with one's sexuality is essential to achieve happiness. Our society has fucked with people so hard in regards to what they should act like, dress like, and who they should want, and how they should want them, and what you're allowed to do what with what body, and the list goes on and on. No wonder so many people are depressed as fuck and don't know why.

Oh god - you were lucky. I was raised in a very small town in the rural part of North Carolina foothills. There aren't very many open minded people when it comes to sexuality or religion, and sometimes race. I've always been the rebellious one in my family, especially when it came to the things I was brought up being spoon-fed. Even before my family got a computer in 98, I started questioning a lot of things I was being taught, then when I really learned to internet, there was no stopping my rebellious nature.

Alright - but, enough about the stories of the south. JKDS, tell your boyfran to stop being silly, if he plays you at the video games then he can expect to possibly lose. If he doesn't like it, then tell him to get better or stop playing. p.s., I'm happy for you.
