  • Gay guys reveal how they deal with loneliness

    Gay guys reveal how they deal with loneliness

    Post-pandemic, many of us have found ourselves feeling more lonely than we ever have. Sure, we may have more ways to connect than ever before, but let’s face it, Grindr chats and Zoom meetings can only go so far.

    A recent survey of 2000 adults conducted by Santander UK showed that around a fifth of people are feeling increasingly isolated during the pandemic. While 14% of people worry that they have lost friends forever due to not being able to meet with them.

    Currently, a fifth of the population live alone and 38 per cent currently feel lonely – 14 per cent more than those who reside with someone else.

    Being LGBT+ can also exacerbate loneliness issues, with many feeling that they already live on the periphery of society, so a question posed recently on Reddit revealed how some gay guys are dealing with their loneliness.

    Passing the time with entertainment

    If I’m feeling lonely I read books. TONS OF BOOKS. It puts me in the characters lives and it usually makes me feel better. VIA

    Another added,

    I tend to throw myself at hobbies. Biggest one right now is reading but I also build models. Another big one is art. I’ve been challenging myself to draw dumb stuff but only with a pen. This way if I mess up, I have to figure a way to incorporate it into the drawing. It’s pretty fun actually. VIA

    Do more of what makes you happy

    Take the time to focus on yourself and what makes you happy, besides having a snuggle partner or boyfriend. Find things that make you, the individual, happy, like photography, hiking, writing or cooking for example. When you find things that you enjoy, you’ll realize that when someone does come along, he’ll be an addition to your happiness and not your only reason for happiness. VIA

    A pet?

    Get a cat/dog VIA

    Go out

    I’m lucky enough to live close to a really some incredible county parks systems and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland, OH. It’s not anything special, we’re not talking the Pacific Northwest or the Rockys, but it’s a quiet large outdoor space I go to when I’m lonely or upset. It feels like MY special place. Running really changed my life. I go maybe 7 or 8 miles and then if I’m still feeling rough or have more time to kill, I’ll go for a hike after but definitely didn’t start at that rate. VIA

    Loneliness the new hunger?

    Loneliness is like hunger, it’s your mind’s way of letting you know that you need to socialize. VIA

    Don’t allow loneliness to be all-consuming

    Seeking companionship is important, but, you shouldn’t allow it to destroy you. Even in a relationship, these views can break you apart. You may want to find the source. Finding why you feel this way is an important step. Don’t use your phone before bed or watch tv late, it will help you with sleep. I’ve constantly felt that way in the past, feeling empty and lonely, it’s just a moment, it will pass. Find you. VIA

    These guys share the first signs they knew they were gay

    It’s one of those questions that many of us get asked from curious people, both gay and straight alike.

    Inquisitive straight people might want to know how you came to the conclusion that you fancied people from the same sex.

    Other gay and bi guys might just want to compare their story with yours. For so many gay and bi people there are hardly any LGBT+ narratives on mainstream TV programming, particularly for kids or teens – so it can be much harder to come to terms with, or recognise your feelings and their validity when there’s nothing to compare it to.

    When asked, most guys say they knew quite early on in their lives… Do you remember when?

    A recent discussion on Reddit revealed some of the signs guys realised they were gay and we can’t 100 relate.

    When other guys talk about girls and you can’t relate. [VIA]

    Wanting to be friends with all the good looking boys [via]

    My first sign was when I played The Sims and made all my Sims gay [via]

    Masturbating to gay sex images / naked men [via]

    You make eye contact with other men and it’s like a lightning bolt shoots down your body from your brain to your cock. [via]

    I knew I was 100% gay when I made out with a guy for the first time. It felt right was sooooo much hotter than kissing a girl. [via]

    Searching “free gay porn” or “am I gay test” [via]

    For me was around 8-10 yo. My male friends would talk about the hot mamas and I couldn’t relate. I only had eyes to the moustache daddies. I wanted them to hold me and kiss me. [via]

    Realizing I wanted to spend all my time with one guy friend. Particularly loved wrestling with him. [via]

    I remember walking into a men’s locker room when I was a kid (around 9) and definitely something clicked at that moment. [via]

    I knew before I even knew there was such thing. I was probably 5 years old. It’s just a feeling you get. You just know. [via]

    Shopping for underwear and you get hard from the pictures on the packaging  [via]

    When you watch disney channel and the scenes where male actors take their shirts off interest you more than the storyline. [via]

  • Iconic LGBT Pub The Black Cap Could Reopen—Because Fabulous Never Truly Dies

    The Black Cap, one of Camden’s most iconic LGBT venues, has been closed for years, but there are fresh whispers of a fabulous comeback.

    Victory in Sight: The Black Cap’s Comeback is More Fabulous Than Ever!

    It’s been a decade-long saga, but victory is finally within reach for campaigners who’ve fought tooth and nail to revive Camden’s legendary LGBTQ+ pub and cabaret venue, The Black Cap. Plans have been submitted for a revamped venue that promises all the glitz and glam we’ve been waiting for—and then some.

    What’s the Plan?
    The new proposal, lodged at Camden Town Hall, outlines a vision for a refreshed LGBTQ+ bar, cabaret performance space, and even a bed and breakfast. (Yes, now you can sleep where the magic happens!)

    The pub, which closed in 2015, has been at the heart of a nine-year campaign—complete with weekly vigils on the pavement. Imagine dedicated locals standing guard, rain or shine, determined to bring back their beloved boozer. Now that’s commitment!

    The Black Cap’s Legacy of Fabulousness
    For over six decades, The Black Cap’s stage was the place to be for cabaret acts. Even the legendary Paul O’Grady honed his iconic Lily Savage act there and was a longtime supporter of the campaign to reopen. (Paul’s wig probably still haunts the place in spirit.)

    Performer and activist Alex Green couldn’t be more thrilled. “Finally, we can say we’re optimistic, and the owners are really excited,” he said. “It’s been a massive win to have everyone sitting around the table with the same goal—to get The Black Cap back the way it should be.”

    Green reminisced about the pub’s unique vibe. “It felt like a social club—a place for birthdays, weddings, funerals, New Year’s Eve. It was the least pretentious gay pub in the world. You could even invite non-LGBTQ friends, and they’d feel welcome.”

    The Grand (and Fabulous) Comeback
    According to the plans, regulars will feel right at home with a few improvements:

    • Upper floors: Staff quarters and B&B-style rooms so cabaret stars can stay the night. (No more schlepping back in full drag at 2 a.m.!)
    • Ground floor: A revamped performance space with new staging, décor, toilets, and dressing rooms.
    • First floor: The bar named after legendary cabaret star Mrs. Shufflewick will stay, with access to a sun terrace for those glamorous post-show drinks. There’ll even be a kitchen for proper pub grub.

    Jamie Johnston, who’s kept the weekly vigil going for nine years, is cautiously optimistic. “It’s a positive development, and I hope the plans get a good public response.”

    A Decade in the Making
    The pub originally closed after previous owners Kicking Horse failed to win permission to build flats above the venue. But thanks to the tireless efforts of Camden’s LGBTQ+ community and local supporters, The Black Cap is now poised for a dazzling revival.

    So, dust off your sequins and shine those shoes—The Black Cap is ready to be fabulous once again!

  • Ryanair Is Scrapping Flights to Europe This Summer (Because Why Not Ruin Everyone’s Travel Plans?)

    Ryanair Is Scrapping Flights to Europe This Summer (Because Why Not Ruin Everyone’s Travel Plans?)

    We all love that smug feeling of snagging a last-minute flight for the cost of a fancy coffee. But if you’re dreaming of sunbathing in Spain or nibbling croissants in France on a budget, Ryanair has a little plot twist for you. They’re cutting a bunch of routes faster than you can say “Bargain Bucket Airlines.”

    Why? Well according to The Mirror, To avoid paying European taxes and airport fees. Because, let’s be honest, Ryanair’s business model doesn’t leave much wiggle room for “luxuries” like extra costs.

    Spain: Hasta Luego, Cheap Seats
    Spain, the beloved land of tapas and accidental sunburns, is taking a big hit. Ryanair plans to chop summer 2025 air traffic here by a hefty 18 per cent. Translation: roughly 800,000 fewer bums on seats and 12 entire routes saying “adiós.”

    Bye-bye, flights to Jerez and Valladolid, and one airport in Santiago will also disappear. Plus, cities like Vigo, Zaragoza, Asturias, and Santander will see traffic cuts. Expect a lot of confused tourists clutching beach towels at random Spanish bus stations.

    Italy: Arrivederci, Aircraft
    Over in Rome, Ryanair is pulling one of its planes from Fiumicino airport. The Italian government must be shaking its fists in frustration, or maybe just enjoying another espresso.

    Denmark and France: Route Reductions Ahoy!
    All flights from London Stansted to Aalborg in Denmark are getting the axe. Meanwhile, French and Austrian routes are also hanging by a thread. Apparently, Ryanair has had it with their aviation taxes.

    What’s a Budget Traveler to Do?
    If your budget escape to Europe is suddenly feeling more “mission impossible,” fear not. You could book with another airline—or embrace your inner train enthusiast! Sleeper train services are set to make a big splash in 2025. Nothing screams “adventure” like bunk beds and lukewarm sandwiches.

    So, Ryanair may be flying less, but your options for quirky travel stories are wide open. Happy (tax-dodging) travels!
