Mulligan’s Manor is a lovg and supportive group home dited to at-risk gay, bisexual, transgenr, qutng, and heterosexual adolcents rangg om 12 to 17 years old. And moreover, how n I fd a nice gay geek boy who don’t treat my genr issu as an tellectual exercise to be ponred, explored, and nstantly discsed – I’m not a science project.
Shouldn’t Be This HardDEAR SHOULDN’T BE THIS HARD: So, like I told Jammed Gaydar yterday, I want to give an obv veat: I’m a straight cis du. This means I’m not gog to have the same perspective or experienc as a gay, trans ma, and there may well be aspects that I miss or wouldn’t have thought to brg up. I also want to ve my LGBTQ rears — pecially those who sleep wh men — to share their thoughts on where and how you uld fd yourself a nice gay geeky wh that all md: good news!
It may well be a albreaker for you and hey, that’s pletely ’s not, then you may need to be a ltle patient at first – sometim the well-meang don’t realize that they’re beg a ltle tsive and need the ocsnal proddg to get the pot – but don’t be aaid to set some firm urse, all of this is well and good but don’t necsarily help on a practil level — that is: actually FINDING a gay, bi or pansexual geek who’s lookg to date and wants to date you, first thg I would tell you is that you’re gog to have better luck larger ci; if you’re livg Dog’s Breath, Arkansas, you may very well fd that the total LGBTQ populatn is the sgle digs. Certa ci are gog to have a larger and more vibrant queer populatn – New York and San Francis obvly, but also Seattle, Portland, At, Hoton, Phoenix and Boston all have signifint gay muni.

Between his champng of human rights related polics and anizatns and his tly spirg social media prence, Gee Takei is the herald of gay geeks everywhere.
While some have praised Harry Potter‘s JK Rowlg for wrg a gay character who fi stereotype and whose sexualy is nowhere near the foc of his highly signifint story arc, others have cricized the thor for failg to provi visible reprentatn.
