There are plenty of annoying queers, haha let me tell you.

I've experienced my share. Lately the contact hasn't been all that positive. Gay people are like any other so-called "type"...there's your good and your bad.

I have been best friends for a time with a gay young man (who only told me later as he was leaving town years after I knew him well). That's actually happened twice...one of my best friends from high school that later moved to Athens revealed to me his homosexuality as he was leaving town. Another time, an even younger bisexual young man helped me out with a place to stay for a few months & was a good friend. Yet another time (before that) a gay friend of a girlfriend that became an ex let me stay in his apartment (I paid of course all these times) & it worked out naturally that I was able to leave by the next month. Before that though, and this was my very first experience with being around gay guys, I lived in Marietta for a few months after high school. I was seeing the younger sister of the sister that a friend of mine had gotten married to and she was actually the first person I knew that listened to Sonic Youth. It was through her that I first listened to them. I've written about this before, but she was out to work one day as a waitress at the Cracker Barrel down the street and I listened to Confusion is Sex. By the second listen, it was all over and I was completely taken in rapture by Sonic Youth. So...
also living in the apartment were a couple of her gay friends & they proved to be quite fucked up and into the whole I'm gonna shock you and make you laugh at me even if it's to pity me and I'll be totally offensive all the time schtick. One seemed cooler than the other one, but he stabbed me in the back in the end too. Anyhow, it seems most of the gay guys I run into nowadays are more like these two.
As for gay gals, I've had a bisexual girlfriend before and it was a lesbian that taught me how to really play a guitar.
