Good comments, all... though let me note that we still haven't seen any gay men respond to this thread! I would really appreciate hearing from that segment of our TFP population, and I hope we can help you feel as comfortable as possible posting here. I do think most of us are really open-minded, but I agree with Martian that we are not in some utopian place that's disconnected from the real world.
For example, for the guys who post their pictures in the Exhibition areas, would you feel comfortable with other men making the kinds of comments that everyone makes about the women's pics? If not, why? I would find it refreshing to see something like this happen... it would signal to me that gay men do indeed feel as comfortable as straight men here.
Martinguerre, I was aware that you were bi, but I am not clear on many other men who may be bi (and I certainly am not aware of any gay male TFP'ers yet). Thank you for being open about yourself, it is helpful for understanding.
