It's so "in" to be.. - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

RaeofLite · 19th Sep 2009, 08:09 AM

This can be a fun or a serious thread. Just write, "it's so 'in' to be _______" and an explaination if you want.

---------------

I can't believe it. It does take courage, incredible courage (in my opinion) to come out. To be honest with yourself, say "I'm ok", and then tell your friends, family and loved ones.

... and then to hear that they don't believe you, or think you're just "fooling around"... Wow. Is it "in" to be actually gay and have an emotional upheaval for several years and deal with the harsh reality of knowing you're different than most of the population and walk around wishing you could be just like the straight couples you see in public? Probably not. I had to explain that to a friend. She might see things differently now.

It's so in to have your kids wear crocs.

Much to my annoyance. Those kids are going to see pictures of them in those...things...later on and sue their parents for abuse.

Crocs are the modern equivalent of jellies from when I was little. I want some jellies, I really do. I'd wear them.

ADTR fan · 19th Sep 2009, 02:22 PM

omggg i had a pair of jellies. and they are just as bad as crocs. i hate both. then again i hate sandals in general. but the croc flip flops arent too bad. as long as theyre in decent colors, like green and black. the orange and pink ones are scary looking tho

its so "in" to make jew jokes. and thats even avoiding the gay jew jokes. oh why is everyone so ridiculously close-minded? its one thing if a jew is making a jew joke... but a lil christian kid? like wtf...

It's so in to wear these things:

Every. Single. Girl. in school wears them. Shorter than that one, of course.
What would you call 'em... high waist skirts I guess?
I think the ones they wear just make them look like giant bells.
But hey, can't judge. Whatever floats your boat, right?
I guess.

I've had a simular reaction by a couple of people. Hell I've even gotten it from other gay people.

Story of my life. I've never really been accepted by any group and we'll I don't feel that any one understands who I am. I gave up and trying to get people to understand long ago. There is just a disconnect between myself and everyone else.

It sucks, but c'est la vie. I just go with my life, and try to make it the best I can.

It's so "in" to always wish you were somewhere you aren't.

Greggers · 20th Sep 2009, 01:12 AM

It's so in to go to a bible thumper school.

That *might* have something to do with all my real life friends being from Christian schools, churches, youth groups, ect. (Aaaaah, the sheltered life) but none the less everyone i know does this.

And 50% of the time they end up fucked in the head.
