Re: Clicky Poll: Lurkers Only

  • I wonder how many votes we'll get.  I always answer the Lurker polls on other boards that I lurk on...hope we get a few here.  I'm continuing the 'curious' line of threads from yesterday.

    100% in agreement.  I need to turn the Nest off and not check back until later otherwise the view count is going to keep climbing.

  • I voted!  I guess I am a lurker, although I just signed up a few weeks ago so I am really lurking everywhere at the moment.

    it looks like a lot because there haven't been many votes, but it's actually only one person. still too much, in my opinion, but it is what it is.

    Ditto - it's only one person.

  • Okay, I feel better now. Thanks ladies :-)
  • Good luck finding ammo here, anyway - we're all just SO subversive and leading such crazy sex-and-drug-fueled lives, with all of our posts about going to the OB/GYN and paying off credit cards!

  • That was hard b/c I wanted to choose two.  I read here occassionally b/c it has really helped me understand all my aunt went through to have her 3 kids (3 rounds of IVF and eventually adopted from Guatemala before it was closed to SS families).  I guess I don't post though b/c I feel like since I'm straight I would be infiltrating your world.

    In addition, 10% of my students this year have same sex parents or one parent in a same sex relationship so I'm always looking to see how I can make their lives easier too.  It's a hot topic in the education world as many of you may know with students who are "suspected" by their peers of being gay so I figure the mroe educated I am, the more I can help everyone at school understand it.  Sorry that got long!

  • I voted "straight and not comfortable posting".

    When I was pregnant I went through a phase in which I couldn't sleep at all- every night like clockwork I'd wake up at 3:00 am and couldn't fall back asleep until at least 6:00. I started visiting all the Nest boards, out of boredom- SSH, International Newlyweds, Military Newlyweds, etc. I had nothing else to do so I'd read every single board. After my insomnia passed I went back to just reading my regular boards but for some reason still check out SSH. I am straight, but I have a lot of respect for gay and lesbian people and I enjoy reading about what you are doing- getting married, having babies, etc.

  • I voted straight and not comfortable posting.  My bff came out to me about 2.5 years ago and has been in an awesome relationship with an awesome woman ever since (actually before too - it just took coming out to me and other close friends to make her admit it to herself). 

     I love them both to death and love to read posts here to have more to offer as a friend.

  • I voted straight and not comfortable posting. ?I am a HUGE queer-lovin ally and my husband and I are very active in the marriage-equality movement in California (both of our siblings are gay; fortunately, one is legally married in the state of MA). ?It's not entirely that I don't feel comfortable posting here; it's more that I feel like you guys need at least one freakin safe space to call your own, and I probably don't have much to offer in terms of words here, other than my support when I feel I can chime in. ?<going back to lurking status>
  • I chose Other though I guess I could've chosen the "I'm LGBT but I'm not comfortable posting" option. ?I'm bi but married to a man and I pop in over here every now and again to see what's up! ?I've only posted a few times (especially in the rare instances where another nestie comes here questioning her sexuality). ?You guys have a pretty cool board going here, though!
