But it is still being made? It's mostly popular in eastern European countries nowadays but it hasn't died out. Like even if we take Sweden as an example BWO wasn't that long ago and there's pretty much always some sort of eurotrash (sorry, but it's what I've called the genre for ever, it's a term of endearment) in the Eurovision.
I'm going to let you in on Swedish pop music's best kept secret; Kite.

I Give You the Morning
One of my favorite songs ever, The Way of Love, originally written in French by Jack Diéval, in 1960 titled "'J'ai le mal de toi' and then translated to English and performed by Kathy Kirby in the UK, but failed to make the top 50. There was another French version, but Cher's is the most widely known. Her version managed to stay three weeks in top ten of billboard hot 100 in 1972.
The Lyrics:
"When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not
If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear
For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go
Then what will you do
When he sets you free?
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me"
You might not make much of the lyrics at first glance, but this song for it's time, (the 60's and 70's) was somewhat controversial.
Yes controversial to a certain degree, why? Because it was sexually ambiguous for its time.
In the lyrics, in the last stanza of the song, the singer says "what will you do when he sets you free just the way that you said goodbye to me?" Coupled with the first lines in the first stanza that says "when you meet a boy"
We can assume two things from this:
1. The singer (who we assume is female) is giving advice to somebody (who she is addressing here) at one time was her lover. Yet she says that when you meet a boy and he doesn't love you, you should stay out of it. We can infer that her lover was a gay man who did love her, and thus the line "but he loves you not."
2. Female singer is addressing another female, who at one point was her lover. Therefore, by the same lines "when you meet a boy... but he loves you not" is about giving advice to this person, for she at some point felt in love with this other woman she's addressing that never loved her.
It's a sexually ambiguous song, and I think Cher performs it better. I honestly like the first interpretation better. A woman falling in love and having a gay lover, and giving advice on her recent loss. But I also like that it could be about two female lovers.
Such simple, yet elegant and complex lyrics tbh.
Superb performance by Cher too, tbh.

I'm too paranoid to get on PreP and lean into it. I don't even bareback with my boyfriend.

Its a drug that reduces the transmission of HIV. Its also taken to reduce the viral load in HIV+ people. Its treatment as prevention and it greatly reduces the chance of infection when used with a condom.

Ugh I remember trying that a while back when I decided to bottom for the first time and it was the most conflicting mix of sensations. I wasn't sure if I was "done" or not. I kept just hovering around in the bathroom for 45 minutes like trying to finish up. And then I came out and was like "we're not doing this tonight"

KitchenMotors and I saw this dude open up for James Blake a couple years ago and he was great. I love Lone too
This track is great, appropriate that it's in my name :3
One of my favorite fighting game players!
I'm so happy for her!
I've Stanned Ricky since vanilla Street Fighter IV!

It's great to see coverage. Hope we see a bit more coverage this year since its rarely brought up.
Wow, it's almost over now. And I missed quite a bit!
Thanks for all the wonderful insight and for being so inclusive here. It was sometimes a bit of a mess in here but it was mostly fun, way more good than bad. I will see that I participate more in the next thread again, I was rather busy over the last few months but maybe I will have more free time now to write on GAF in the coming weeks and months.
Anyway, love you all. See you in OT8! 😺

Recommending against gayest sandwiches for reasons of non-inclusiveness. Coming up with an inclusive one is hard (first the alphabet, then the world <3) but we need to be more inclusive than that.Throw more suggestions for the OT titles ladies and gentlemen.
We have these so far.
OT8
OT8: Once More Unto the Britches
OT8: Pick A Number Between 0 and 6
OT8:The gayest sandwich ever!
OT8: Success: Climbing over the bottoms to get to the top
OT8: The Divorce
Wow. Is it the fancy one you showed me?

Yeah, everything with just "gay" mentioned in it is not good enough as a title for the new thread. There must be something both homosexual/bisexual men and women have in common that we can put in the title. Marriage equality for example was something that every party celebrated so it was deemed fitting. Now we need something equivalent to that.

No idea where I am on the kinsey scale
What number am I if I'm a goldstar gay but I really like fake boobs and the idea of vaginas, but not actual vaginas?

PreP isn't inclusive to sides and asexuals, so we can't do that one.

If we want to play off a quote by Kurt Vonnegut:
OT8: A Little More Love and A Little More Common Deviancy
(From the original: "Pleasea little less love, and a little more common decency.")
You could also change that suggestion further if you'd like. For example:
OT8: A Little More Common Deviancy

(From the original: "Pleasea little less love, and a little more common decency.")
