The Love that dare not speak its name...

Just wondering if any PAX goers dabble in the love that dare not speak its name ;-)
Would love to get a group of out of town geeky 'mo's to head out the bars on Capitol Hill with!

"...it is classically interpreted as a euphemism for homosexuality."
Not that I am. Just a trivia buff.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
And yes, there were some planned events for PAXers of said persuasion last year, but I don't recall them being on the PA forums.

I am under the impression that a very large portion of heterosexual Penny Arcade fans are not against interacting with homosexuals.

You have no idea how much willpower I had to exert not to conclude my post with that.
In fact, I made a nerd-friendly endorsement of gay marriage last year after seeing one of those moronic "Marriage = Man + Woman" bumper stickers... hopefully all you electrical engineers will get a kick out of this one:
Also, some more for "logic" nerds:
With translations for the non-logic nerds
(for all marriage, marriage = (man and woman) or (man and man) or (woman and woman))
(a union b, which refers to the other two images)
(for some marriage, marriage does not equal man and woman)
But yeah, I'm sure there are exceptions, but by and large we nerds are very open minded.
...?
What I think he's trying to say is. That PAX is not a place you go to pick up girls. Which is fair to say due to the fact, you go to build on the bond of yr. fellow gamers. And I guess he believe that there is more homosexual men going, and looking to 'meet up'. Then there is heterosexual women going, to do the same. I don't think that's true. Due to a guy, who was gay, and hanging out with us(my friends and me). And he didn't go out of his way to get some ass. He was just there to play games with other people and have fun like anyone gay or not.
But I'm sure there are the few homosexuals that have the same idea as heterosexuals, 'Maybe I'll get lucky.'
I wanna take you to a GAY BAR GAY BAR GAY BAR...
OH! How i want that on a shirt or bumper sticker, for serious! Have you Cafe Press'd that bad boy yet?
Electric Six FTW!
Ahhh... I think I read it wrong originally. I thought he was talking about how you could use PAX as a way to pick people up, which disturbed me a little.
Shoot... I could if you want! I had thought about it at one point, but never followed up on it... hmm...
Lemme see if I can make a CafePress store for it real quick. Be right back
EDIT: NOW I know why i didn't do it... I didn't know at the time how to get the images to size right. I have Paint.NET now which should help with that, it'll take a little bit though to do the resizing and stuff I need. I'll let you know when I get it figured out and post it up.

I should've done it a long time ago, but I got frustrated because I had no idea how to get it the right way. They should hopefully come out good now, I re-made them in super-high resolution and then used that high-res version to scale down to their predefined templates. Hopefully that should do it.
Sir, I like the way you do things.

Hopefully you guys find it useful!
EDIT: One thing I've been thinking about... should the top part (before the predicate logic) say "x = a U b" like it does now, or should it come right out and say something like "Gay Marriage: It's Only Logical"? I made the license plate frame say that to see how it works, and it looks good... but I thought that a Union b was clever.
How were they organized, then?

Just wanted to see if anyone wanted to hit up a gay bar or 2... although ANYONE gay or straight would certainly be welcome! Just not too many straight guy friends go out to the gay bars very often.. which is totally ridiculous... do you have ANY idea how many times my straight brother gets hit on at Gay bars by girls? It's crazy..
What, may I ask, are the girls doing there? Aren't they technically lesbian if they're at a gay bar? Because if they're bisexual then :winky:
I'm from San Francisco originally and my friend and I would hit up this one gay karaoke bar all the time. Singing C&C Music Factory's "Everybody Dance Now" at a gay bar is always a hit
Girls at gay bars are technically lesbians? I thought that was a sexual preference, not a drinking buddy preference. :P
See, where you're getting mixed up is what dictates sexual orientation. You see, the places where you go is what decides if you're gay or straight. If you go into a gay bar, then if you aren't gay or bi already you automatically become gay, until you go to a football game if you're a guy or the mall if you're a girl.
It's science.
*g* The local establishment up here has been the straight hot spot for YEARS. Most heteros I know met their last hookup/bf/gf at the local gay bar. It's also popular because of the strict zero tolerance for harassment policy, diverse music, and unique events - just a kickass place all around.

Hrmm, could you please elaborate on this policy?
Basically they've created an environment where anyone and everyone can show up, be themselves, dance, drink, and have a great time without worrying about people being drunken obnoxious jerks or aggressive advances/touching. Hetero, LGBT and everything in between - everyone gets along and the scene is chill. Way better than most places I've been.
For the record, I'm talking about a club in Bellingham named Rumours.

I'm asking because this is really interesting to me; I've never heard of a place with such a policy. I'd probably get kicked out of way more bars if I had =D.
On the gay bar discussion, I've always avoided them. I understand it's a great way to pick up straight girls, but it continues to boggle my mind. Like how girls want guys to treat them like dirt. I've come to terms with that one, and practice it. But I need more time with the gay bar.

Technically nothing. I see that you live in LA so the concept might seem a bit foreign to you (I have close friends who live in LA and WeHo), but there is still honor and goodness out there in the world. The owners and staff at Rumours have always been awesome. Most of them have been working there for several years, know the regulars, know the scene, and how to do their jobs with fairness and integrity.
At the end of the day, the goal was a place where those who live or seek an "alternative" lifestyle can feel acknowledged, welcomes, and accepted. You know...kinda like PAX for gamers. The vibe is wholly different from any other hetero place I've been to. Hardly any disrespectful behavior, unwanted groping, violence, etc that I've noticed or heard about. I'm not saying it's a utopia, I'm sure shit goes down now and again - it's a bar and shitheels get in like anyplace else. The difference is how the staff and community react and protect it.
