'The Old Gays' Is My Favorite Discovery In 2019

The year is just starting but these four men have won me over.

'The Old Gays' Is My Favorite Discovery In 2019

Though this series began last year, "The Old Gays" have barely appeared on my suggestion videos.

The group is composed of four men in their 60s to 70s. Bill, Jessay, Robert and Mick show off their charming personalities wonderfully in each and every video.

Though I, like them, don't consider myself a gayby, I also found myself taken back by many of the new generation slang they had to read. RuPaul is considered gay culture due to its mainstream popularity and positive representation but I have yet to watch a single episode. Many gay terms did begin on the show, however, and made its way to nonviewers like me.

INTO has brought four strangers together with one common self-identification and has introduced them to a worldwide audience. Watching these delightful men be authentic and talk about living full happy lives in time more oppressing then today gives hope to a younger generation.

If it doesn't make you smile to watch them judge our new gay slang then watching them play Cards Against Humanity will.

"The Old Lesbian" series, also found on Intomore's channel, is humorous and heartwarming to watch.

They too try to guess new gay slang and react to the queer community, but they also have videos of coming out stories that may hit home to many viewers.

Lesbian Culture consists of listening to Lesbian Jesus (Hayley Kiyoko). A whole video was created around the singer's videos and another where "The Old Lesbians" met the "Girls Like Girls" singer.

Having these older men and women put themselves out there and representing the community as they have is wonderful.

The comment section in every video from these series are filled with coming out stories and supportive responses. "You give me hope for my future. Thank you." reads a comment from a viewer.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
