  1. Aaaa, I miss you my dear. And thanks once more for your B-day wishes. Chat soon :huglove:

  2. Ciao Bojana! thanks for saying hello, I've been thinking of you as well, and keep on seeing your posts on fb with pleasure :original: hugs to you and Keti :huglove:

  3. Ciao Marina! I'm not in the situation to follow MFC as earlier but still love you and think of you very often...Chat soon my dear :huglove:

  4. Hi girls See you still drool over Mika and I feel a lot of nostalgy about him cause I have no opportunity to see him soon..but love you all and always thinking of you
  5. The same here:dunno: There's a lot of short articles with the summary from Instict and headlines like "Mika has disappointed ladies". They remind readers about his previous statements on bisexuality or reluctance to be labeled though. But at the same time there are a lot of anouncements about his new albums following video "Celebrate". But most of comments were about his music and his great talent and not about it, concerning being gay his private thing.
  6. Happy Birthday dear Mika This day has always meant so much to me.
  7. This was just affirmative answer to your question from the preview post about convincing straight teens into gay persons. So I said that they can't do it. I have clearly stressed that this kind of influence by openly adult gay persons to teens could have affect only those young people who are not certain about their complete identity (not only sexual orientation), because the late one is not the only thing that define human identity. Anyway, I've thought that it would be better not to use a label bisexual because I have serious doubts about the term, even though it's possible.
  8. Agreed. Well I remember that in his first interview for "Out" magazine he said that in the future he would probably change his way of speaking about his own sexuality. And back then he was totally against labels which could determine him in a wrong way. After 5 years he evolved a lot both as a person and as an artist.
  9. No, of course they don't. But these teenagers who are "stuck in the middle" might be turned into gay or straight persons under the strong influence of some adults on the subconscious level. I know a couple of examples when feminine young boys were openly seduced by adults and later they got married (this doesn't mean that they don't have such tendencies, but also incline to straight ones all the time). The same is with girls. Human sexuality is so fluid that under different, complex and cultural circumstances (neurosis) at that sensitive age could be manipulated and obused by adults Imo. Luckily you've got my point, and as you've said they are a lot of criteria to define someone as a straight, bi, gay or transgender person.
  10. Indeed, it' quite similar attitude. But the recent anti-gay riots and banning gay parade in Serbia are not only the part of ex-communist heritage but also a result of extreme nationalistic, conservative and clerical tendencies here. Actually we fight with these social mileux all the time, but ex Yugoslavia, as you know was not part of the Eastern block, but more politically and cultural inclined to the West. Let me clear up this for you. I didn't mean phaedophile relationships of any kind, but had in my mind those sexually confused teenage boys and girls (and it's quite normal for some of them) who could create or even twist their own sexual identity under pressure of adults and not freely, based on their own predominant tendencies.
  11. As for me, I've also been living in a pretty patriarchal and homophobic country. But my father was an artist so a lot of gay people (men and women) hanged out at our house from my childhood and they didn't bother me in any way. Some of them were closeted gays (like my godfather), some of them were openly gay. We didn't live behind "iron curtain" though, on the contrary: all the time we'we been exposed to the Western influences. The same was with my teenage idols who were gays: Freddie, George Michael, Elton John, Lihmal, even Bowie, and later actor Anthony Perkins . I haven't payed much attention to this fact at the time of 70. and 80. But back then there wasn't media involvent and some kind of pressure in this matter and people could live their own private lives without much problems when it comes to celebreties. As for the other people things look like a bit different. My daughter' s best friend is a lesbian who hit on her for some time, even though she knew that K. is a straight person. When she finally came out their friendship developed in a good way for both of them. That girl has found girlfriend, and my daughter a boyfriend and they can discuss about men and women relationship in a more complex way and help out each other. The only thing I don't like is an attempt of seduction of very young boys and girls by openly and mature gay persons.
  12. He did say he was gay, no doubt, but according to psychoanalisis gay men and women can sometimes fall in love with opposite sex and vice versa. Suppose you've had this in your mind. That deosn't mean of course that I put in question the fact Mika finally labeled himself as a gay person. Everyone has their preferences.
