Queer Query #10: The Exit? Whaaaaaaaaat?!

So hmm the EXIT ? what exit exactly is this crazy Q going on about now ? for the past two weeks i have been thinking (and god when i think... i think) so i came to this conclusion its sort of exiting the scene, it comes a time after 1 year of being with in the Egyptian gay "Pop" scene, by pop i mean the popular one... the one for a year where i have been so adamant on defending ... the one that i also made some great friends, been to great parties, met alot of interesting characters... but i just came to the conclusion that i am so invloved in the gay scene that i personally dont even have much str8 friends!...

whats the point of str8 friends anyway some might ask ? i mean they sometimes are just boring people that all the time just talk about 1. women tits 2. women asses 3. womens curves 4. soccer 5. some second rate sport 6. playstation. etc... is that true ? come on guys cut me some slack if we do generalize the str8 people as that they can easily categorize us as the guys who only talk about 1. men cocks 2. mens arses 3. mens body 4. partying 5. partying 6. drugs 7. alcohol ....

so i do believe somehow for someone to be balanced internally he needs to be balanced within his friends to have both gay and straight friends, but not to just have one. if all of your friends are gay ... i could say 80-90% of the talk is about men... and it doesnt have to be in a sexual way .. it could be relationship way or you obessesing about your own body or just a guy you like etc.. having only straight friends you might also end up talking about politics playing with that PS3 ... (side note .. why are gay men in egypt a huge fan of PS3 or is that a group of guys i havent met yet) you get to also hang out with people who have children, who have different views as you...

however mostly in a perfect idealistic world a person is a person and it doesnt matter if he is gay or straight ... because thats just his sexuality and it doesnt mean it affects the rest of him.. .but as i said thats in aidealistic world... in a realistic world.. its not really that you would generally notice major/minor differences within the two different worlds

so my exit is not me exiting being gay its exiting the main scene its me starting to work on my making some straight friends... me trying to regain the part of me that wasnt much associated with my sexuality but also i made some good friends during the process of the scene, who have been more than supportive so me leaving the scene doesnt mean i will cut all connections with them it just means that i wont be outgoing as much as to parties and however some of those guys are real friends and we will always stay in touch (Z ;) ) and for my blog ... just becuase i am not reporting from the scene means it will end but you might notice a different tone in the blog


Cheers,
Unbalanced Q
