Gay Pride Virginia

The Longest running poll yet!   Question:  The only difference between a "straight man" and a "gay man" is a 6-pack of beer!  Truth or Myth?   From my experience and what I have heard from others is yes, so of course my vote was Truth! Hands down!!!!  

Seems like majority of our voters felt differently.   66% (60 votes) of the votes were for Myth!   You do know that means you don't think a 6-pack would sway a straight mans mind.   Okay, just checking.  We must have a lot of straight visitors to our site....Welcome! :)

Just kidding.  I'm sure a lot of gay voters voted myth too. 

Only about half of that (34% - 31 votes) said that it was truth.  You must had the same type of experiences in the past like I had with straight men, or you just heard it though the grapevine.

For all who didn't come, you sure missed out on a lot of fun.   Luckily for you, there will be another one in 2008.   Seems like from all of the voters, most people who came are from Richmond (63% - 29 votes).   We also had quite a few from other parts of VA.  I'm surprised to see people from the Midwest and West Coast here for pride too.  I hope you all had as much fun as I did!

Again . . . these polls are running too long . . .

In this poll, we asked what type of stereotype you thought was the worst on TV.   56% (50 voters) felt that the "flaming queen" was the worst of all.  I do as well.   Luckily for us now, most of us have the Logo channel so we can see more types of the GLBT community.  

13% (12 votes) thought it was the sassy friend/co-worker that was the worst.  Of course the guy that comes to mind is the character Jack on the hit TV show, Will & Grace.  I liked Jack for a while, but Karen is the best.  10% (9 votes) thought the butch lesbian was the worst while 9% (9 votes) thought the beautician/designer/artist was the worst. Only 3% (3 votes) thought the lipstick lesbian was the worst of all.

In this poll, we wanted to see who did you first come out to?   Seems like most people trusted their friend over their best friend with that little secret, with "A Friend" leading the vote with 52% of the vote (32 votes) and falling far behind that is "Best Friend with only 21% of the vote (13 votes).

Seems like a few of us came out to our Boyfriend/Girlfriend falling far behind best friend with only 8% of the vote (5 votes).   Surprisingly, the same amount of our voters chose to come out to their sister. Seems like the sister was the most trusted member of the family.

Mother followed with 6% of the vote (4 votes).  Father & brother only had 2% of the vote (1 vote each).  I guess if had to choose, those would be the last ones I come out too.  Actually for me, my father was the last one I came out to.  Actually, I don't even think I've formally came out to him yet.

Dad...I got something to tell you.  You may want to sit down for this...

For this poll, I opened the "other?" option just to see if there was something that I missed.  That was answered by a voter who hasn't yet come out.

Keeping with last weeks poll theme on your thoughts on cheating, I wanted to know what you felt about online contacts.   For those of you who can not see the above image, this poll question was "If you start a serious relationship, should you delete all of your online "contacts"?"

Still, not surprised by the results.  The wining answer hands down was (74% of the vote with 14 votes), "No, there is nothing wrong with remaining friends with them.", which I feel is the best answer.   What some of you didn't realize is that kinda go hand in hand with the answer "No, you need some "back burners" no matter what.  Really, if you end your serious relationship, what are you going to do?   I know it's still not to remain friends with those old "contact'.   

These days, our messengers, be it AIM, Yahoo!, MSN or any other is the new "Black Book".   Very easy to access, and got all of the contact information that you need on those old reliable FBs and potential future husbands/wives.   If we keep the online 'Black Book', we are going to reach for it again when the nights are lonely.

The vote that came in second was "Yes, keeping them is a form of cheating!" (having 21% of the vote with 4 votes), I kinda disagree with you all.  I know people who has done that in the past, or lovers who have done that to them and if/when the relationships end, they are always end up sorry because that was years (for some decades) of hard work, GONE, just like that.

Now for those of you who are in a serious relationship, and has been that way for years, and your relationship is so awesome, you don't see it ending ever, then by all means, delete those contacts.  They are no longer necessary.  They would be just a waste of hard drive space.  Especially if they were not friends anyway, just people you liked to cyber with.   Unless you are in one of those types of relationships that allows 3rd parties to come in, then you can delete all of those contacts.

In this poll, we wanted to see which TV show that had  a GLBT theme, you thought was the best.   It seems the voters thought Queer as Folk was the best.

We also added a "Other" entry as well to see if there was anything we were missing on the list that should have been there.  There were no other votes this time around.

As you can see, Noah's Arc came in second place, followed by The L Word and Dante's Cove.

Thank you all for your votes.  Always make your opinion count and keep voting on new surveys on this site.
