Hello Readers, Followers, First time visiters.... i know its been long since i last posted but tonights post shall not disappoint. The past couple of weeks Q was pretty busy, for followers and readers, you have known that almost two month back i made a little switch in my direction, for a year and 3 month i lived in cairo a year of that, was almost mostly if not entirely focused on the gay scene in terms of my social circle. My life was work, gym, meeting my gay friends, weekend consisted of basically hitting which private gay party was happening and trust me there was alot happening, After a year of this, i was like there must be more to life than just the gay scene, also i realized i hardly had any straight friends... so i came to the conclusion that i will be less and less available on the gay scene while trying to make my enterance on the straight scene, while only retaining only a handfull of close friends who happen to be gay, as our friendship wasnt defined on our sexuality and maybe go to a gay party every once in a blue moon.
Hence two months ago i started my mission, CONQUER THE STRAIGHT SCENE!! it started off a bit rocky at start, starting contact olding friends, doing dinners with them, some of the old friends just bored me to death, until eventually i got back to the correct group :)... what might have really made things go into full motion was going to Gouna alone during eid, where there i made even more new friends, eventhough i was alone there i was never bored, i just sat and observed people and met people and like came back more adment to be part of that scene, which seems like loads of fun, i mean come on ... Glitz, Glamour, Fancy Bars, Open Air Bars, DJ who plays music on a standard equivlant to an int'l level, and we know how much we Q likes his music (now M before you comment YES THERE IS GLITZ GLAMOUR in cairo ;) ) and luckily me and one of my girlfriend who i am most of the time going out to these bars, have something in common, we are both highly sociable creatues, and in the same time we like to meet new people, not that anything is wrong with the people we know right now and the people we love right, its just sometimes it is refreshing to do your own thing, to have your own thing going on other than having the group thing, and yes eventhough it feels like only two month i am no where near conquering the scene as i would like to but for the first time in the past two weeks and specially after Gouna, i have been releasing i have been making a good step forward in that direction...
now here is the thing, me going there, does not mean i have any negative feelings towards the gay scene, actually no i dont, as i previously mentioned within that scene i made great friends, who are friendship is not based whether we are gay or straight or bi or trans or whatevz is out there ... its based on being friendship.
so to answer my question is their life outside of the gay scene, well OF COURSE YES, you can live outside the scene, and still retain your sexual preference, interestingly enough i think i have recognized more than a handful of people in the bars doing that, granted that they know OF eachother, but they dont form there little own gay click with in the scene, its like each of those gay guys on the straight scene has their own group... and not all are out...
i realize this post has a lot of the word "gay" "straight" where it would look that i am making a differetiation between them and i realize that in an ideal world there shouldnt be much a difference but in reality we are not in an ideal world, there is a huge diffference in the dynamics of this and that ... that one post wont be enough for, maybe a whole blog, it would be a worth a while to think about it i guess
