Here’s the link to my new Youtube Channel: Gay Geeky Vlogs Check it out with you get a chance!
Boy, do your thoughts resonate with me?! I got a real kick out of your last comment re: God of War III. My straight brother makes fun of my ineptitude in “pleasuring” the ladies in other parts of the GOW series. I am moving to Seattle next year, and am hoping that its a better scene than here. Do I miss the rain! Aren’t there any clubs in Seattle like the big one they have in DC?
Best of luck, Bernard.

gay geek here.. Seattle, WA. You can see us enforce at Emerald City Comicon but that is about it. Go to the clubs opr any other event and geek seems to be the gays’ “fag”.
Good luck on your search though. Bound to be someone out there. Just like you can find your love soul mate, you can find your love-of-sci-fi soul mate

Hey,
I know exactly what you mean. I got a geek frind who is absolutly cool about me being gay, but I can’t talk about my lovers with him. He always going these “I won’t hear that” or three Monkey style “cant’t see; can’t hear; can’t speak”. But I have to listen if he wants to talk about his girls. In fact no one said to me that they think that I am a freak ‘cause of that Comic, Sci-Fi, Movie and P&P geek stuff, but there is no gay guy who wants to talk about it.
So every where the same thing.

GREAT VLOG! I’ll repost at HnH and mention your new channel! I so know what you mean. I’ve got a few straight comic book geek geek friends, a boyfriend who is more of a news/politics geek, and 1 gay geek friend who is a muppet geek not comics geek but still gets it, but every other gay guy I’ve ever had over thinks my apartment looks like a rich fourth grader lives here.
I’ve been sort of lucky in that the comic book store I go to (Whatever Comics in San Francisco’s Castro) is a mecca for gay geeks so I get to hang out with a big group of gay comic geeks occasionally if we meet or go out, but I haven’t managed to make any good hang out type friends who are gay geeks. Like you, I sort of force my boyfriend to like my comic book hobby. Yours is a much better sport. I REALLY don’t think I could get mine into a costume.
I’ve been thinking along the same lines and as usual you somehow speak my mind. STOP VOICING MY THOUGHTS OUT LOUD. Kidding You’re entertaining and right on the money as usual. I look forward to your new musings.

I can relate, I keep trying to find other gay science fiction fans here in Vancouver. I am sure there are lots of other geeks everywhere, it is just getting them organized.

Paul .... I have never seen a geek who is as SMOKIN’ HOT! woof!

Well I am a geek über-nerd gay, my boyfriend (in fact my partner, we live together for 10 years) is a little nerdy (he has over 50 Aquaman action figures + memorabilia) and I have a group of nerd action-figure-collecting friends composed of a dozen+ people, besides me and my boyfriend, other 4 of them are gay! In my nerd group of friends, when we go out together (to watch the last nerd movie or to drink bear or to have a barbacue) sometime the gays outnumber the straights! The only problem in our group is hat some are on their 20s, some are in their 30s, so sometimes there is an age gap between us. But it is very good to have nerd friends, gay friends and gay-nerd friends! (I apologize for my English, I live in Rio de Janeiro and Portuguese is my mother language).

Paul you are not alone out there. My boyfriend and I are geeks too and have no friends who share our interests. I am lucky in the fact that my man is very into this stuff, but I’m unlucky in the regard I cant use your “stuff it down his throat” metaphor.

I fully understand how you feel. However, I’m bi so its a little easier for me to relate to my straight friends (especialy when I don’t have any gay friends any more). And when it comes to comic books and things like that, well I’m even more left in the cold. But I make due with what I got .

Damn, I can relate to every single word of this. It seems gay geeks only exist on the internet *sigh*

Well…
I know how you feel. I am the gay comic book geek for my group of friends and that is both gay and straight friends. I also cram my interests down my boyfriend’s throat, like you no pun attended. I would love to chat with you considering I feel that I have a common ally that I can talk to about comic stuff who is gay and has a boyfriend who will not think like you said that I am flirting or looking for a play buddy. Really wish we were closer in location (I am in Wisconsin, You are in Florida) but I would love to chat, talk on the phone and get to know you more, what your comic/toy geek interests are and see where are connections and interests lie. I know that sounds more dirty that I mean it to be.
Take care, Andrew

Oh you really hit the nail on the head with this one! You are always entertaining but I could really relate to this one. There is one other one I have encountered, the straight guy who sees you as an opportunity to try something new cause all gay guys want to do it with a straight man, uh yeah dude, whatever. I’m thinking of trying to start some sort of gay comic club here, ever try that? If so, any success?

I liked the first vlog. I’m looking forward to watching more. Thanks for entertaining.
