Can I see some pictures of my LGBT friends?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

I know this is not the lounge but sometimes its nice to see the faces of the people you fight for. I dont just rally/protest/write letters for Lisa and me, I do it for us all. I am sure you guys feel the same way.

So can i see some pictures of the faces we fight for?

Here is a pic of Lisa and me, in my birth country. I cant live there, since its illegal to be gay.

[cboy4]

1. I hope my parole office isn't reading teh DU!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

49. nice work!

[racaulk]

59. Great pic, cboy!

You are a very handsome guy. :P

[cboy4]

121. See? Who said my Photoshop software wouldn't come in

handy some day?

HA!

[FreeState]

70. I like this pic too

it reminds me of those mysterious pics one might see at some unnamed websites }(


(I think we need a gay smily for DU BTW)

[davidinalameda]

191. I want to see skin baby!

:woohoo:

[Yes We Did]

254. What is that symbol on your avatar?

...above the rainbow laser thing...

[dbackjon]

2. Me

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[dbackjon]

135. Thanks!! but cuddly and nice! :)

[racaulk]

60. Very handsome, dbackjon!

Great pic, also. Where was that taken?

[dbackjon]

136. Thanks!!

San Francisco Peaks, north of Flagstaff. From atop where the Ski Lift (Sky Ride in summer) takes you.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. The day we pissed off Dickhead Warren.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. oh honey. that picture makes me cry.

[Rhythm]

161. I envy you guys...

We're still in a state that will likely never acknowledge our rights until forced by the federal gov.

*hugs to you both* :grouphug:

[Pacifist Patriot]

210. Oh you should see what a grin I got on my face when I opened this post.

Absolutely fabulous picture!

[Jamastiene]

4. I don't take good pictures, but here is my most recent, taken last year.

:hide:

[terrya]

32. You're beautiful.

Seriously.

[KitchenWitch]

39. You are stunning.

:hi:

[racaulk]

57. I think that's a good picture!

:loveya:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

68. cutey pie

[ThomCat]

100. Bullshit.

You take fine pictures. :)

[Two Americas]

265. beautiful

Are you kidding?

[FreeState]

5. Heres my partner and I at a Bush Protest

Im on the left :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

54. sexy!

[racaulk]

64. Looking great, guys!

:hi:

[az chela]

6. Hey Good pics,you are all beautiful people

[Chovexani]

7. You guys are so dang cute.

Here I am in my old apartment in AZ

[ronnykmarshall]

10. Oh you so cute, so cute ....

WHAT A DYKE!!! WHAT A DYKE!!!!

You grow up and be PE teacher.

(Margaret Cho line for those that don't get it)

[Chovexani]

15. I love you ronny

I mean that. You're like a ray of fabulous sunshine. :hug:

[racaulk]

62. OMG, you are so gorgeous!

:loveya:

How is life going for you back in New York, by the way? :hi:

[Chovexani]

67. Aww.

It could be going better. Money's extremely tight and work is scarce. :(

But on the bright side, I've reconnected with a lot of friends, so that is going well.

[KitchenWitch]

108. You are beautiful.

:loveya:

[ropi]

156. beautiful...

:hug:

[Pacifist Patriot]

211. Wow, you're gorgeous. Oh, and I also fancy the bloke in your sig photo.

He's yummy too!

[yardwork]

8. You're beautiful.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. thank you so much

[yardwork]

9. This thread has me in tears.

I wish I weren't afraid to post my picture here, but I am.

Thank you for your courage. You are all beautiful. And you're all so young!

[ronnykmarshall]

12. You rock baby!!

[FreeState]

13. Young? Well not so much - but your beautiful whether you post a picture or not:)

I've enjoyed your posts and your words speak to your beauty - we dont have to see a picture to see that:)

(FYI Im almost 40 and my partner well he'd kill me if I posted his age - lets just say he's more than 10 years older than me:) )

[yardwork]

16. Let's just say that I'm only a bit younger than your partner...LOL!

[Rhythm]

223. I'm older than you... i just act like a big kid!

Oktoberain is almost 30, and i'm over 10 yrs older than she is as well!

:hi:

[racaulk]

43. I agree with what FreeState said upthread.

I admire you so much for your intelligence and passion, which are clear from your posts on this discussion board. I don't have to see a picture of you to know you are beautiful, inside and out.

:hi:

[foxfeet]

94. Oh, honey, you can't be older than I am.

And I've earned every one of these scars and wrinkles!

[Rhythm]

162. It's not 'fear' if you are in potential danger... it's 'prudence'

I have always been somewhat of a 'daredevil' when it comes to being out.
I came out while in high school (1984), and have never, ever taken a step back in.

This stance has cost me relationships, i'm sure... but i cannot hide in the shadows.

Besides, anyone seeing me automatically assumes i'm a dyke anyway *L*

[jonnyblitz]

11. here are some that are about 4 years old. i don't take new ones

of me anymore because i just don't post pics of me on the internet these days so i don't care. I am a bit older and heavier but YOU know what i look like lately anyway..

[bicentennial_baby]

17. Ha! I see YOU!

:woohoo:

:loveya:

[Jamastiene]

24. I love love love those tattoos.

:) :hug:

[jonnyblitz]

28. why thank you.

I don't always get such positive feedback. i tend to hide lounge tattoo threads.

[Rhythm]

164. Sweetheart, i have to ask... who did your tat work?!

I am dying over that left-arm sleeve. *sighs*

/is inked as well... 30 hours worth

[crappyjazz]

14. My partner and I

I'm the Canadian on the right and my beautiful baby on the left is American.

[jonnyblitz]

20. I would be Canadian if the British hadn't driven my French

ancestors out of Novia Scotia in 1755. :hi:

[crappyjazz]

22. lol

:hi:

I love being Canadian and my partner loves it here too, but we want to go "home" one day, I'm starting to realize though, that it will not happen for us.

[JackBeck]

18. I could definitely go for some of this warm weather right about now.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. you and me both, its going to rain on our rally

bah humbug

[Jamastiene]

38. Adorable.

:hug:

[racaulk]

93. You're very handsome, Jack.

:loveya:

[mondo joe]

152. I don't care how good looking you are.

It's your brains I adore.

[smokey nj]

19. GLBT gets the award for best looking group on DU!

All of you are wonderful!

[Pacifist Patriot]

212. No kidding!

[Vanje]

220. Too true! nt

[Zuiderelle]

21. Here's me, several years ago...

And I mean several...

[Jamastiene]

25. Yowza!

Bea-utiful. :loveya:

[JackBeck]

29. You're too sweet, Jamastiene.

And that's a great pic of you!

:hug:

[Zuiderelle]

33. Aw, thanks!

:hug:

Love your picture too!

[racaulk]

63. Swoon.

You are so pretty. You look like someone famous in that picture, but I just can't put my finger on who.

Great picture!

[Xipe Totec]

82. Swoons...

I feel privileged, just to have seen your face.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

187. *makes great effort to quash dirty thoughts*

*fails miserably*

[Hepburn]

194. You are seriously beautiful! n/t

[terrya]

23. Well, if you have some children to scare, here's my pic

Taken this summer.

[Jamastiene]

26. Are you kidding?

If I had children, I'd trust you to babysit them. You are a GORGEOUS person. :hug:

[terrya]

31. I'll second what JackBeck said...you're too sweet, Jamastiene.

Thank you.

:hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. you have such an open and compassionate face. sort of the face i would like babysitting my children

:)

[terrya]

46. Thank you

And you and Lisa are gorgeous. :-)

[Rhythm]

165. Cool... you look like my friend Bill here at WVU...

He's working on his PhD in Political Science, and is one of a handful (along with Oktoberain and me) of non-trads who are active in the campus GLBT activist group.

Bill ain't scary... and neither are you, Terry. *hugs*

[Jamastiene]

27. Maybe that's it!

They are jealous of how beautiful we and our allies are. :grouphug:

[Mike 03]

30. I wish every single person in the world who opposes Gay Marriage or thinks he/she does

could see this thread. You would have to have a heart of stone not to be touched by these pictures and stories.

[racaulk]

85. Thank you, Mike.

:pals:

[Zuiderelle]

34. Oh, and I forgot to mention... What a great picture of you two!

Wow, just beautiful, both of you.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. you too.

[racaulk]

37. What a fantastic idea for a thread...especially right now.

Here are a few of me:



At the Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland, last June.



With my friends George and Fred in downtown Dublin. We're mimicing the poster of the models to the right. :)



At the Guinness Brewery in Dublin.



My partner and I hiking in north Georgia over Labor Day weekend this year.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. when things get heated here, i try to do a pic thread.

i think it affirms our presence and who and what we are fighting for

also, it distracts me for a while :)

you are super cute

[racaulk]

47. Well you have distracted me with this thread too.

And as heated as things have been here this week, that is definitely a good thing. :-)

Great pic of you and Lisa in the OP, by the way. You are both so beautiful.

:loveya:

[Jamastiene]

76. We DEFINITELY DO need a break from all the battles.

Thank you. :D

[Chovexani]

66. You're frickin adorable

:loveya:

And that poster photo made me LOL. :D

[racaulk]

83. Awww...you're sweet!

:hug:

Yeah, taking that picture was fun! We were in a very silly mood at the time, as I'm sure you can see. :hi:

[ropi]

155. i agree

very nice looking..and cute partner too!

[Zuiderelle]

73. Great pictures! I love the one mimicing the poster.

You have a sweet face.

[racaulk]

84. Thank you for the compliment!

It was all we could do to hold our composure and stop laughing long enough to snap that picture. That was so much fun! :)

[dbackjon]

137. Very handsome!

[Iggo]

237. That poster mimicry one is cracking me up.

:rofl:

[mondo joe]

44. Oh okay

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. LOL

[racaulk]

53. !!!

:rofl:

Wine and a hammock. Life doesn't get much better than that, does it? B-)

[terrya]

58. Woo-hoo! A man in a hammock...and wine bottles on the ground...

SEXY. :-)

[mondo joe]

61. I don't generally do photos online because

I have a somewhat public presence with some non profits and don't want to blur my professional and personal lives, and because I have kids and feel I ought to have regard for their privacy as well.

But I wanted to be included! :-)

[foxfeet]

95. Wait a minute. . .

I think I know that leg!

[mondo joe]

96. Don't tell anyone where I got it!

[Chovexani]

65. That right there is the right idea

:D

[Jamastiene]

80. You really know how to party.

I salute anyone who knows how to party til ya drop. :thumbsup:

Nice leg! :D

[NMDemDist2]

48. dang, all your outward beauty mirrors the beautiful souls inside

:yourock: all of you

:grouphug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

55. thank you sweetheart!

[KitchenWitch]

50. I think this is my favorite photo of the two of you.

:hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. hi honey!

[Mike 03]

69. You are all beautiful, inside and out. NT

[foxfeet]

71. My partner and me (on the left, naturally)

on the spot where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in Rouen, France. (Cue spooky voices: Joan, go to the Dauphin! Drive the English off French soil!)

[racaulk]

88. Awww...that's a sweet picture!

You guys look great together! And the matching jackets are great! :thumbsup:

:loveya:

[foxfeet]

92. Fiddle dee dee. How you talk.

:blush: Actually the jackets were free from my partner's former employer. We need something Gore-tex-ish here in the Pacific Northwest. The also came in handy in Europe. When you've been together as long as we have, common wisdom says we're supposed to start looking alike. I guess the jackets are the first step down that slippery slope.

[Deep13]

221. I just HAVE to go there someday.

It is a subject of particular interest to me.

[t0dd]

72. this is me.. I haven't been here that long, but yeah =]

[Chovexani]

74. With a face like that

You are welcome to stay. :evilgrin:

Hehe, hope you will stick around. It's not always this messed up around here.

[jonnyblitz]

79. welcome to DU.

:hi:

[ThomCat]

101. Welcome to DU

If the fighting gets intense, this forum and the lounge are the two friendly places you can go to socialize and relax. :)

235. Welcome to DU!

97. This Is Retired Trotskyite And Will

Hi Lioness,
You two make a lovely couple.
I am on the left and Will is the lovely lady on the right. This is a picture of us at our wedding in Canada in 2007.

[ronnykmarshall]

127. I love wedding pics.

Congrats you crazy kids!!

[DarkTirade]

98. Moi aussi.

Old pic, before I could grow a beard


Newer pic... when I... er... still can't really grow a beard. Tryin' to look like a hippie. That was around the age of 23, if I recall correctly. And four years later that's still about all I got.

Alas, I have no lovely boy or girl on my arm to show off too. :) Been single for a little longer than I'd like.

[ThomCat]

102. If I can ever get upstate

with my powerchair, you can sit in my lap and give me a tour around town. Look as scruffy as you want. I won't mind. I promise. :P

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

104. Who's scruffy lookin'? :P

I actually don't know downtown Rochester all that well. Never have much of a reason to be there. I could show you my cute little town though. :)

[ThomCat]

107. Cute little town is good.

I've seen Rochester. Who says we'd have any reason to go far from home. :P

Either JennaLaw or my nephew will be driving up to Buffalo sometime in the spring, so I'll be catching a ride. When I do, I hope you'll have some time to drive over. I don't know if I'll be able to make a side trip towards Rochester on that trip. But I'd love to see you and introduce you to friends. :)

[DarkTirade]

109. If it's on a day that I'm free, I might be able to visit there.

To the best of my knowledge, I've never been to Buffalo. If I have, it was when I was a kid, so I wouldn't remember it.

Now that I live here I should probably get a passport though... what with that whole border right over past Buffalo thing. :) Never know when I might want to go to a strange, exotic, foreign land. Or Canada, for that matter.

[ThomCat]

99. My current favorite picture of me.

With my friend Deanna, and JennaLaw's Birthday dinner. :)



I really want to know what was in that sub-thread that got deleted. What got posted HERE on THIS thread that would be offensive?

[DarkTirade]

103. In a picture thread...

I'm thinking maybe a l'il more skin than the mods are comfortable with. :P

[ThomCat]

105. Deanna was a hot thing when she was young, and a dancer.

She would be absolutely THRILLED if a picture of us caused trouble. :7

[DarkTirade]

106. ... well I've got a camera...

O8)

[jonnyblitz]

111. somebody posted a pic of himself and his boyfriend and their

mouths were open, tongues touching, kinda sexual, and one of the ladies who posts here was offended and claimed the picture was posted intentionally to stir trouble and shortly thereafter the picture and the comments about it were yanked.

:hi:

[ThomCat]

112. Hi Jonnyblitz!

:loveya:

:hug:

Oh for dog's sake. Who the hell cares if a photo show's two tongues touching. In was in OUR forum, so if it was a picture of one of us, and their clothes were on, then it should have been okay. My $0.02
x(

[Jamastiene]

123. OMG, that reminds me of Footloose and ever other movie,

book, book, and news item about the "Fuddy Duddy" types who want everyone else to live a Puritan lifestyle just because of their crappy opinions.

That really disgusts me. I wish I had gotten to see the picture. My first thought when I read that was about that Chastity Pariah character in the Elvira movie, Mistress of the Dark.

[Zuiderelle]

125. Well, to be fair...

it was posted by someone who is always pretty hateful to our community and especially to transsexuals... also, it was pretty much just mouths and tongues and no faces. I don't think anyone was offended by the picture, just the intent and the poster.

[ropi]

126. i have to agree..

the photo did not show a face at all. it showed nothing more than the beginning of a big old tongue kiss with each person's face obscured. i was not offended by the photo, but i did find the intent questionable.

[jonnyblitz]

128. i saw faces in that pic , but whatever.

don't let me stand in the way of the net nannies and their personal grudges and paranoia.

[Zuiderelle]

129. Ok, I give. There was a portion of one face. A chin showing on one of them. The other only hair.

:rofl:

But whatever, I'll try to resist being a net nanny from here on by simply commenting on someone's photo.

I need a break from this place. What with gay people claiming to think the Warren thing is ok to other gay people calling me a net nanny.

Just fucking lovely.

[bluedawg12]

144. It didn't seem like an introduction

to the face of a friend, it seemed more like a parody of us.

Maybe I'm just turning into an old net nanny? :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

149. So, do you want your new nickname to be Chastity Pariah?

:P

:evilgrin:

:hide:

You and Will are an adorable couple.

I wish I could join in. If it were only about me as a private individual I would.

[RetiredTrotskyite]

163. I Understand, Bluedawg...

It's a shame that we can't share the existence of the one we love even on a message board. What a sad world!:hug:

To bed with you, mister. I'm going before the sun comes up and I resemble an ashtray at the local Bingo hall.

[mondo joe]

153. Let's see!

[Obamarama]

132. Your picture should be in Webster's Dictionary:

Next to the word "Woof"! :-)

[RetiredTrotskyite]

171. GREAT Pic, Megabear!!!

Bald should look so good on me.

Unfortunately, it doesn't LOL

So there's the family photo album, including the dog (Toby) but NOT including the cats.

:hi:

GREAT pics, everyone! So nice to see you all. :hi:

[Jamastiene]

124. Will y'all adopt me?

You have a beautiful family with wonderful bright eyes and smiling faces. The love really shows in your family. :)

[Rhythm]

167. Any fellow Carolinian is automatically considered family...

I'm almost a Charlotte native (lived there for 28 of my first 33 years), so i always have a soft spot for other TarHeels, be they natural-born or transplanted.

Next time we're down visiting my relatives, we'll have to get together!

[MountainLaurel]

130. Damn, y'all are so beautifu!

:pals:

[Rhythm]

168. We miss you, too...

:pals:

When are you coming back up this way, anyway?

[MountainLaurel]

188. Probably late spring

Despite working for a secular hospital, I get Good Friday off, so I might try to visit around Easter. I'll have burned up most of my vacation time for Christmas and "mandatory" time-off for New Year's Eve (the office will be closed, but we have to use our vacation time for it).

[Rhythm]

222. Keep us updated... hopefully we'll be in town that weekend.

One of our classes ("Theater Tour") involves a lot of weekend trips to regional performing arts venues to watch productions of plays that we're reading/discussing in class. I haven't received the travel schedule yet, so i have no idea whether we've got a local play, a travel weekend, or a weekend off. As soon as we know, though, we'll be sure to let you know as well!

[ThomCat]

140. Wonderful pictures!

:grouphug:

But how could you leave out the cats? :P

[Rhythm]

169. Unlike the professional models at ICanHasCheezburger.com, ours hardly ever stay still

They have out-of the way napping spots, so they are tough to get good pics of.

:hug:
We may be coming up to the NYC area either over spring break, or at the end of the semester...
Once we get the date set, we absolutely HAVE TO plan a get together with you, Pri & Rocket, etc... :-)

[ThomCat]

179. Well I certainly hope so.

Do you have a place to stay? :)

My place would be cozy for three, but we could do it. You're welcome here any time. I have a queen size sofa bed, and we have room to inflate a mattress for your son. Stay as long as you want. I would love to have you come visit. :hug:

[Rhythm]

183. Your offer is deeply appreciated, and may well be taken up on :-)

We'll talk more about this as we move away from this cold, snowy mess we call winter, though.
:hug:

[davidinalameda]

199. English

My favorite instructor was Lord Byron Nelson

he taught a special topics class that we called witch lit

great class

[Lyric]

215. He's still here. Hello, fellow English major!

:hi:

[davidinalameda]

227. he'll be there until he gets tired of the crap

[Obamarama]

131. Okay....just a couple quick disclaimers:

1) I don't TRY to look like an angry axe-murderer when my picture is taken. I'm just not photogenic.

2) I'm really not a conservative Republican...I just play one on TV. Seriously, despite the conservative appearance (suit & tie), I actually have a well-earned reputation of being a morally ambiguous scoundrel (that's not the total truth either, but it sounds more palatable than "conservative Republican")

This was snapped at a holiday gathering last week:

154. oh....hawt

very nice photo

[mondo joe]

157. Nothing wrong with a suit and tie.

Though not everyone wears it as well as you.

[Amimnoch]

133. The love of my life and me on Mt. Ranier

Last summer, it was wonderful! I'm the one on the right without a ballcap.

[dbackjon]

138. Very good looking couple!

[dbackjon]

134. Very pretty - both of you!

[LeftHander]

139. Here be me...

[LeftHander]

186. and a couple more...my little family

Back story on this pic....TT is his neice, she lives with us after her father passed away this was on the way home from St. Louis after the memorial)



My daughter puts on her makeup as my partner watches. (note his drag show makeup tackle box...)

[AlCzervik]

141. What a good looking group of people you all are, nice to see some faces with names.

[MNBrewer]

142. How does one post a picture?

[Rhythm]

170. Posting pics here is easy...

You just have to have one uploaded to Photobucket or somewhere else that allows remote hosting.

Then, simply put the URL for the pic here (no HTML code necessary, no brackets, no nothing... just the URL)
And then we will be able to see another of our friends here!!!

:hi:

[Smarmie Doofus]

173. That doesn't work for me from photobucket.

All I get is the link to the picture on photobucket; not the pic itself.
What am I doing wrong?

[Jamastiene]

174. With Photobucket, there is a small bit of code

at the end of the link you copy.

Your link may look something like
?566854968

What you can do to fix that is:
Once you past the url into the post
remove the question mark and the numbers after the question mark.



You want to make sure your url ends in either jpg or gif or png with no question mark or numbers at the end.

Photobucket was tricky for me to learn too.

[Smarmie Doofus]

177. Thanks, but it still won't work. I'll try to post it with just the link.

Is there a way to post it from my desktop?

[Jamastiene]

181. It won't post from your desktop.

Try posting the link and I'll see if I can fix it so it'll show the picture for you.

[Rhythm]

184. For Photobucket, you want to use the code which is labeled "Direct Link""

The others won't work...

:hug:

[Smarmie Doofus]

190. That did the trick... thanks much. nt

[Mike 03]

143. Awesome, beautiful human beings, inside and out. The only reason I didn't rec' this

thread is out of respect for everyone's privacy, but I wish the whole world could see it.

[JeffreyWilliamson]

147. Oh, what the hey...

Kickin' it in the home office/nerd room:



Saturday night afterhours goofing off time:



This was a messed up shot but it ended up being my favorite:



And just because I get a kick out of this one:

[ThomCat]

148. Aww... Cute pictures.

:)

You and your dog are both adorable.

[JeffreyWilliamson]

185. Thanks!

She's not always adorable, (although I am).

[xenussister]

158. Light Up The Night pics

*waves* I'm not GLBorT, but here are some pics I took at the Light Up The Night rally in Chicago tonight. There were a few dozen people there, and tons of folks out shopping, taking flyers and talking with participants. It was very cold and snowing but I had such a warm feeling standing with you all.





That was the band that provided the very funky and wonderful soundtrack to the rally.

[Smarmie Doofus]

172. delete

[ThomCat]

180. Hi Paul

I'm sorry you changed your mind about posting a picture. You're worth seeing. :)

It's been too long since I've seen you or talked to you. I hope you're doing well. :hug:

[Smarmie Doofus]

192. TC.... I'm fine. Thanks. No NYC DU party this winter?

Harumph. Can't let that happen.

You sound great. Hope all is well.

[ThomCat]

196. Unfortunately, I'm in no shape to organize one.

I had what doctors are still trying to conform as a stroke in September.

(I keep thinking October. Thank you, JennaLaw for correcting me. I now get confused about dates a lot.)

A lot has changed, unfortunately. :(

[Smarmie Doofus]

202. Ouch. Didn't know. We saw you in Sept....near Grand Central.

You look great in the pic above, BTW.

I'll PM you.

[Smarmie Doofus]

189. Son DJ expelling the evil doers from NYC at RNC in 2004.

[ThomCat]

198. Yay DJ!

:woohoo:

:)

[1awake]

200. I'm not in the LGBT community.. just a supporter,

but here I am anyway.. hope I don't scare to many of ya!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

207. thanks for the support!

[Rhythm]

224. Actually, you remind me of my better-half's younger brother!

Nah... not scary! :hug:

btw... what part of WV are you from? There's a whole little enclave of us here in the Morgantown area, if you ever want to get together and hang out!

[yardwork]

240. You are welcome and not scary at all!

[Behind the Aegis]

201. Oh what the hell, so few are looking now.

I am in front, mr. BtA (7 years in February (2/22/2002...gotta love that)) in our home of New Orleans.

[Chovexani]

203. They hate us because we're so hot

This is the conclusion I've come to after seeing this thread. :D

[Behind the Aegis]

204. LOL! I am thinking it is because we actually have principles.

But, yes, quite a nice looking group.

Glad to see you are still around. I was afraid you would leave. Don't ask me why, we would have to go to another forum (astrology...). ;)

[Chovexani]

205. lol. true

I take breaks a lot. Like this weekend the girlfriend and I decided to take our minds off stuff with a marathon session of Final Fantasy XI. I'm generally good about answering PMs, though.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

206. SO CUTE~!

[racaulk]

208. Oh, you guys are adorable!!!

:hi:

[Pacifist Patriot]

214. I hope this doesn't cause offense, but I've noticed that the guys on this thread...

are what my hetero girlfriends and I would have longingly called "what-a-waste." Well, for us anyway. This thread is just an amazing display of truly beautiful people, both inside and out.

[Zuiderelle]

216. Very cute! And Happy Early Anniversary!

:toast:

[Pacifist Patriot]

209. What a beautiful picture! This is me.

I'm a LGBT friend. I hope that counts.

[ThomCat]

213. Heya!

:hi:

:hug:

Welcome!

[racaulk]

217. Of course that counts!

You're a pretty lady! Thanks for sharing your pic with us! :hi:

[Rhythm]

225. In these trying times, we need all the 'friends' we can get, hon...

If everyone who had a GLBT family member or friend would show their support, we wouldn't be arguing about equality.

Thank you for standing with us. :hug:

[Behind the Aegis]

228. "I'm a LGBT friend. I hope that counts."

It counts!!!

Very nice picture.

[Vanje]

218. Thats me (Day late. Dollar short)

I'm the one in the yellow coat

[donco6]

243. That made me laugh.

:ROFL:

Thanks.

[Vanje]

219. Hotties!

No doubt about it!

[JuniperLea]

226. All y'all are gorgeous!

Hope you don't mind that this old straight lady has been lurking in your thread.

Not gay, but I'm one of your staunchest supporters!

Here I am with a very cool gay guy I had the pleasure to meet. Judas Priest and Rob Halford rock!

[Rhythm]

231. o.k.... i am officially SO jealous of you...

I was a combination headbanger and punk back in the day, and i swear Judas Priest got me through the worst of times.
I am jealous as hell that you got to meet the baddest man in metal. *L*

[bigwillq]

229. Here's me:

[Rhythm]

230. That is possibly my all-time fave pic of you, hon...

Love that smile! :7

[jonnyblitz]

232. of course i took it..

:hi:

[bigwillq]

234. You did!

:) :hi:

[bigwillq]

233. Thanks!

I do have other pics but the link to that pic is in a PM right here on DU so it's just easier to post that one!

:hi:

[sundog]

236. pretty picture pri

[La Lioness Priyanka]

238. so handsome~!

[sundog]

239. thx my friend

:hug:

[Sub Atomic]

241. Here are a couple of me

This is from my first skydive back in 2006.

:duckandcover:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

247. nice~

[donco6]

242. Late, late post, I know. But here we are:

I'm on the left. My partner of 12 years is on the right.

[RetiredTrotskyite]

244. You Guys Look Great!

and congratulations upon 12 years! Keep up the good work!:grouphug:

[Rhythm]

248. No such thing as a 'late post' in here...

Great pic, y'all... and congrats on your 12 years together. :-)

This year begins my 10th with Oktoberain!

[Christian30]

245. I'm only in here occasionally, but here goes...

I'm on the left. My BF of 7 years is holding our beagle baby, April. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

246. aww. lisa has a beagle too

[Rhythm]

249. 'Occasionally' is still here, and that's a great picture!

:hug: :hi:

[Christian30]

253. Thanks.

We used it as our X-mas card last year. :)

[The Brethren]

250. Thank you lionesspriyanka for starting this thread.

You and your partner,Lisa, make a very pretty and striking couple. ;-D

And thank you to everyone else for sharing -- great pics!!

I would include one of myself, but I'm very camera shy and I'd probably destroy your monitor. LOL I'm about 7'5" tall, purplish skin, with 4 fingers on each hand, lobster-claw shaped feet, with Yoda ears. I stand out in a crowd. When I go out, I usually wear a large hoodie for public courtesy. I was thinking about taking a shot of my feet, but that won't work.

Otherwise, I'd be happy to add a photo of myself. :-)

[Heddi]

251. I am not gay, but I am a staunch supporter of GBLT rights

I am related to, am friends with, love, and work with some of the greatest people in the world who just happen to be GBLT themselves, and the idea that they are not considered to be equal human beings with basic rights makes me sick to my stomach.

I hope y'all don't mind if I post my piccies. I don't think I've ever posted in this forum before but I read it often.

Here is a pretty old picture but I just love the Zuke
<img src=>

Here is an even older picture of me
<img src=>

And a much more recent one from this summer
<img src=>

[racaulk]

267. Wow, that's a huge...er...zucchini you have there!

(I can't believe I just said that to a woman!)

:hide:

Seriously, great pics Heddi, and you're looking lovely. Thank you for sharing! :hi:

[SacredCow]

252. I'm late, but.....

me and a friend at a Mardi Gras ball... About time to dig out the tux again...

[racaulk]

266. Woof.

You handsome devil...

:loveya:

[HillWilliam]

255. Glad to come to the party!

Wonderful to put some faces with the names! It makes a set of cold threads seem more like sitting in our lounge-rooms having coffee (or toddies) together, feet up on the couch, being glad to be together.

Here's HillbillyBob and his assistant, Dora the WonderDog


and me. We were out with doggages in the woods that day. Only one camera, so we couldn't take a pic of us together.


:grouphug:

[Two Americas]

257. somebody caught me

A friend got a shot of me last night at a rehearsal. This is pretty late to post here, but as soon as they emailed it to me I remembered this thread.

[Zuiderelle]

258. You're a real friend, TA, thanks for posting here.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

260. Is that a dulcimer?

Or a zither or similar?

And is that THE WHO on the wall behind you?



I'm a musician too.

[Two Americas]

264. yes and no

Dulcimer, yes.

The picture is of an old Seattle rock band, the Rangehoods, and the photo was taken in their studio where I was doing some things with Steve Pearson. Saw him today and he said "yeah, tell 'em it's the Who."

About the guys from CD Baby-

Steve Pearson is a Northwest treasure and one of America's best kept secrets. Over the last 25 years, Pearson has written and recorded some of the Northwest's most memorable rock & roll with a sound that evokes The Beatles, Tom Petty and The Byrds. From 1978 to 1983 Pearson was the lead singer/guitarist with The Heats, Seattle's #1 club act. With the Heats, Pearson toured nationally with Heart and The Knack on their respective arena tours, and recorded two successful albums, "Have An Idea" and "Burning Live", as well as a genuine hit single, "I Don't Like Your Face."

Pearson continued to pack the clubs with his roots-rock band, The Rangehoods(1984-1992), recording two more albums and touring the nation under the sponsorship of Miller Beer. He has remained musically active over the last 10 years, performing solo, playing with his current band The RimRockers, and occasionally at reunion shows with the Heats/Heaters and The Rangehoods.

The Rangehoods

The Rangehoods : Steve Pearson : guitar , vocals / Pat Hewitt : guitar , vocals / Tony Lease : bass , vocals / Don Kammerer : drums.

In 1984 Steve Pearson ( of the great band The Heat(er)s : check their lp "Have an idea" or their cd "Smoke" on Chuckie-Boy records !) and Pat Hewitt founded the Rangehoods. Trying to shake the Beatlesque vibe, they became the bad boys about town with louder guitars, less harmonies and more screaming vocals. Once again the band was popular in the local scene and as they do shows today, it's obvious they are "not forgotten" by their fans. Famous for their original songs and their Gibson Super 400's with Vox amps. They released one vinyl EP "Rough Town" (also on cassette) & one vinyl LP "Long Way Home" (also in CD format).These vinyl's are sometimes available at gemm.com or Craig Moerer, Records by Mail.
