Just wondering if people here want to designate a place where those of us not so st8, can go to see and be seen / wink / flirt/ hang out / who knows! People suggest a place where folks can go / maybes even find someone to kiss while all our st8 friends are busy hooking up! First time at bonnaroo so not sure, maybee the back of the silent disco tent? what do people think? lots of gay bi folks - have no way of connecting at music fests - very different from the st8 scene, where it's so much easier to meet someone - Not always possible to wear the gay flag ya know? like any big city, there is always an area where you can go to find other glbt people... would be great if people take up this post and we can all agree on something and maybee the word will get out!

^^^^ 1. If you post it, the word it out. This is a publicly viewed board.
2. you could try a bath house port-a-potty. jk, that's wayyyy gross, even when you're not a roo. c'mon fellas!
3. I can't imagine hooking up with anybody at roo, I feel so gross I don't even want anyone to touch me... of course I would not totally rule out the idea if popsiclesarah wanted to make out.
i think the point is - that for st8 people...they don't need a place it's assumed everyone is like you- i also hate the idea of the "gay" community, i don't connect with that at all - that's why i am at bonnaroo and not at some gay bar - that said, i still think it would be cool to know if there was a place say at the back of the silent disco tent or somewhere where i could dance with or talk to other dudes and feel more comfortable -- especially when your blasted - it's kinda nice -
It'll be hard for you to chat with headphones on (silent disco has people dancing w/headphones playing the music - FYI). But I know what you mean. The Arcade Discothèque is probably where you'll want to go. DJs & dancing. Probably a better location.
I met a friend to hangout with last year, via this thread.. And this year I've met a another friend so I'd say this bad boy works. =) and it really is all about the music but it's nice to have someone to go wild with at night..
Last year I had an amazing time in the rain during my morning jacket.
It's no different than the sex-at-roo and single and ready to mingle type threads on here..
I'm bi, sometimes hang out at the gay bar in town but not because I'm looking for anything, or because I need some gay community to 'get' me or something. I do it mostly because the gay bar is a good deterrent to frat boy jerk types (in a college town especially). But as bigayroo pointed out - the majority is not gay. You can walk around anywhere and safely assume that most of the people you will run into will be straight or bi at the most. A gay person can even, unfortunately, expect open hostility from some people if they mention they are gay or attempt to hit on someone who is not. For this reason I can see the existence of an openly-gay gathering, or meeting spot, being a great idea. That doesn't mean I will necessarily be attending, because I don't personally feel the need, but I can definitely see the general necessity for such a thing.
Enemy, I didn't custie you, and I do sort of see what you are saying, but after all you did say "I hate the whole community." I could see people taking that the wrong way no matter what else you said.
I don't think a gay meeting would be awkward for those attending. At least no more than meeting tens of thousands of straight, gay, and bi people in a field in Tennessee is going to be awkward.
I disagree.. You can be as gay as you want at Bonnaroo without any trouble. Now if you're gonna hit on someone, have that gay-dar turned up good and better know your approach.. I was at freakin Schwagstock last weekend and manage to find a boy. It ain't hard, just know what you're doing or don't do it.
ahh dude calm down my friend.. I'm from freakin mississippi and im completely open and ive never had a problem.. and this is freakin bonnaroo! it's drippin with love
