Not gonna lie my heart did embarrassing things the first time that happened. I’ve woken up with his arm around me before. At first when we slept over one of us would sleep on the floor or couch or something.Now we’re physical all the time-not sexually, but he’ll lean against me if we’re standing together, or put his arm around my shoulder. When we’re alone, he’ll move next to me and put his head on my shoulder. At first I noticed that he was uncomfortable when I’d touch him so I didn’t. Lately I’ve been wondering if Ian and I are more than just good friends at this point. I’m not on Ian’s level of attractiveness, but I’m pretty confident these days.
Ian and I attend different colleges, but we talk everyday. We would hang out at each other’s houses doing homework and watching cartoons after school a lot.įlash forward to today. He seen every episode of Pokemon and Digimon AND Yu-Gi-Oh.
Also, “too cool” my ass-Ian’s a fucking nerd, just like me. Yeah he was quiet, but that was only because he was kind of introverted, and he doesn’t like talking about himself. The whole time I’d known him I’d just assumed that he had a ton of great friends that he didn’t talk about. Eventually I decided that it was time to stop being afraid of Ian and try to be friends with him.Ībout a year after I really started hanging out with Ian, there was a revelatory moment where I realized that I was Ian’s best friend.
Ian and I ended up seeing each other a lot. I assumed he was out of my friend league because he was really handsome-not ripped, just genetically blessed in the facial department-and seemed really smart and cool, so nerdy me assumed that he was super popular. Ian and I were in the same English class in high school. Reddit user ProbablyGay1 posted the following, and it is very, very cute. But sometimes it can be staring at you right in the face.Ī guy who thought he was straight is starting to figure that out, realizing his best friend might actually be his boyfriend. In fact, Scotland was the last jurisdiction in Europe to abolish the death penalty for same-sex intercourse, reducing the penalty to life imprisonment in 1889.Sometimes when you’re looking for love, it can be in the place where you least expect it. But for centuries, gay men have been arrested, imprisoned, and even executed for less-and in more private surroundings. Other Marines present pleaded not guilty to public indecency and remain in service.įor some, the incident may seem like a harmless, if gross, bit of horseplay. “He’s ashamed and embarrassed at this incident and his family and friends now are all aware of the circumstances of it.” “He had hoped this would be a lifelong career but it has been brought to an end,” said Bowen’s attorney Lynne Sturrock. (Each will also perform more than 200 ours of community service.) The trio plead guilty to charges of public indecency but will face no jail time and won’t be placed on the sex offenders registry, as the court accepted there was “no significant sexual element” to their actions. “This was puerile and repugnant as the narration clearly demonstrates.” “It appears there’s an expectation that Marines participate in conduct such as this,” said Deputy Duncan. Bowen is seen pulling his pants up just as club security comes over. In the video, the men are seen drinking each other’s urine and putting their penises in each other’s mouths, simulating oral sex.
“A member of security staff checked but found nothing untoward.” But in reviewing CCTV footage the next day, the full incident came to light and staff reported it to authorities. Shortly before 1am, the club’s manager was told “there were a number of males with their genitals exposed outside,” said Deputy Stewart Duncan.
