Hmm, good point.

I'm sorry, an LGBT social group is not a "sexually-oriented" social group - it's a group with other LGBT people. Again, if a straight couple said they were looking for a social group to meet other couples, would that make them "sexually-oriented" groups, too?

Nowhere did I say I was looking for anything sexually oriented, yet other people - some rather rudely - took the liberty of berating me anyway, which is why I reported them, assuming that kind of behavior wasn't acceptable on these boards (your guidelines do say "No personal attacks" and repoting posts does include "problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts"). You make it sound like I was incorrect in reading your rules - was I?

At least for the most part people seem to be friendly enough around here. That's good enough for me. :)

You know the guys got something for the girls and the girls got something for the guys. I am not telling you to go back in the closet, althought that wouldn't be a bad idea, but don't expect me to like it and don't advertise it around Southern Maryland. It may not be healthy for you. Just some advice. Where's the Fruitcake lady?

And who would do that?

You knew what was going to happen the second you typed it out. You were looking for this.

You get to go through the little hazing whether you are straight or gay. Either you can hang or people just slip away.............
Welcome to SOMD.

What brings you here from San Diego?

You have a weird way of flirting!

Great, a Commifornian! Land of the UnConstitutionalists!! At least your not from SanFreaksisco where you are know longer allowed a gun to defend yourself in your own home, unless your part of the elite ruling class like Diane Fiendstien. Lets hope your not bringing any of that liberal mindset here to SMD, we have been overrun enough already.
