Reddit reviews Blue Pills: A Positive Love Story

I think what really defined Garak the most was his mystery and his sexuality went hand in hand with that. I never really once thought about it honestly until someone brought it up. He had a very ingratiating manner about him but I just attributed that to him being straight up weird, weird like in the way a Dickens character might seem weird if you stuck him on a space station.

I think sometimes it comes down to being uncomfortable with being physical. For me, I have trouble touching people at all (my people are not very affectionate) and so for someone whom I am not well acquainted with to just hug/kiss me is incredibly uncomfortable. It's also a little uncomfortable being around someone who is very animated; I very honestly geek out about a lot of things and more than one bf has described me as "intense" and "tiring." I think the expectation is for two people to be casual but then this sort of weird energy comes from nowhere and it's hard to react to it. It's even worse when I start getting excited over something my bf doesn't really understand like say, going to a restaurant and them heating the plates correctly.

The HIV thing you shouldn't worry about. I know it sounds like a useless and glib piece of advice but unless you're having sex with someone who's infected, it's unlikely to get it. In the past two decades, infection rates have gone down a lot. I think it helps it to give it a human face too. There was a graphic novel I read about a man who falls in love w/ a woman who's HIV positive and has an HIV positive son: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Pills-Positive-Love-Story/dp/061882099X
I understand that people just feel the way they feel so I don't feel it's fair to be all righteously angry about it but I would urge you to just try to process it slowly. You're right in that there is no reason to talk about it unless it's specifically brought up but it is something you should consider exploring on your own.

Also, campy gay guys can be annoying just as anyone can be annoying. I think that in many instances, in order for them to survive and stay true to themselves, they really have to try very hard to establish a presence, to justify themselves and it can result in someone being very narcissistic/histrionic. It's very difficult to really pinpoint what it is sometimes but for me, I just try to mentally "re-frame" it: how would I react to this behaviour if it was a woman acting like this? if he were straight, what would his behaviour look like?
