Hello 51st Century, I see you're drawing nearer!

I believe this is relevant to our interests:

IAmA guy whose bromance has turned into a gay relationship, yet neither of us admit it.

Goodness knows if it's real or made up, but it's rather fabulous either way, and the comments are GOLD. Both the silly ones, and those that are more reflective. (Not to mention the ones which are True Story Slash Fics... *raises eyebrow* Either way, they're entertaining). Plus the commenters seem to be pretty evenly men and women (most of them straight(-ish)), which is even better.

Oh my. *fans self* that thread made my little slashy fangirl heart brim with joy. And...other things... O_O

IKR?

What a delightfully naughty little gif *evil*. Almost as nice as the one where he's stroking the Tardis. Matt has nice hands. Dexterous.

Indeed...

This is AMAZING. I's going to go ahead and think that it's true just because, and I hope everything works out for them.

(Though I must say, I did feel really sorry for the girls in one of the the True Story Slash Fic comments. I would be pretty upset if my boyfriend slept in the same bed of his former lover whenever I wasn't around, regardless of gender. And/or would be like "fuck it, just BE TOGETHER." But anyway).

Same here! :)

*nods* It's lovely as a story, but if it's true, it's... problematic, quite simply because they aren't honest.

Yep. But I don't really blame them. Not to get all Serious Business on what is a lovely little thread, but it's really sad that our society is such that someone can seriously think that continuing to be with their same-sex lover while ostensibly being in a relationship with a woman ISN'T cheating. (To be fair, if I was the woman in this situation, I think I'd be MORE forgiving than if he was doing the same thing with another woman, for this reason. I'd still dump him, but I'd like to think I'd get that the issue is as much about his own struggle to embrace his identity/that relationship as it is about me).

The 51st century can't get here fast enough!

This. There was another one (I think - there were a few I might get them mixed up), where they were VERY VERY close and had now moved apart (due to work etc) and knew they could never pursue it any further because their circle would just never accept it. How awful is that?

the "sausage fest" comment made me laugh so hard.

[elisi]

What did I say? :)

Great link. My favorite comment was this one:

""I just asked my 11 year old autistic brother what he would do if he saw 2 boys holding hands. He said, 'People would think it's weird, but I dont, I like holding hands with cats, I think if you love something you can hold its hand.''"

I didn't get that far, but that's wonderful. <3

I liked that straight guys and straight girls and everyone else admitted to finding the story hot. Also the comment, "Captain Jack Harkness understands you."

Seriously, that thread is amazing and gives me hope.

IKR? It was all love and shared hotness.

Oooh I missed that one. That's *fabulous*.

Same here. It's nice to see people being encouraging and understanding.
