I used my dorky personality to my advantage and let them laugh. Looking back, i should have probably found a different group, but interestingly I am still close with 3 of them...they knew I was gay before I did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33930404.post-30714613376010535942008-05-01T00:16:00.000-04:002008-05-01T00:16:00.000-04:00Having recently left DC because I could never find my niche with the general bar-going crowd and oh-so trendy gay scene, this definitely resonates with me. I was very much a band geek through high school, and was able to channel that into a non-mainstream identity my junior and senior years and throughout college. It is only recently that I've felt like an outsider in the queer community because of my interests and style.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00751714805770425555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33930404.post-68449407390297037302008-04-30T19:28:00.000-04:002008-04-30T19:28:00.000-04:00Similar to me...I was the honor roll, asexual nerd (not a geek, although that was the group I had lunch with). If I hadn't been a ballet dancer, I probably would have been more serious about the piano and violin.Hans Nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10159160431947708138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33930404.post-43419863061166567422008-04-30T12:09:00.000-04:002008-04-30T12:09:00.000-04:00I was a honor roll, "goodie-goodie" drama geek, asexual type of guy in high school.
