Do you have a place ?

I used to chat a lot with guys online. There is a very popular chat room where you can pick gay guys. It isn’t a gay chat room by any means but, it is mostly ruled by gay guys. Or rather guys looking for sex. The first question you will get after the “Hi” or most of the time even before that you will be asked your “ASL”. It stands for the Age, Sex and Location. Once you sort that out, next come the million dollar question.

Do you have a place? Why is it so important?

Sri Lanka being a former colony of England, have inherited the sodomy law from British. The Sri Lankan legal system makes it extremely difficult for us fags and dykes to live openly. The Penal Code based on 19th century British law, states that homosexual sexual activity is a crime. Up till 1995, the subject of this law was only men. However, the 1995 amendment to the Penal Code made it ‘gender-neutral' and now the Penal Code criminalizes both male and female homosexual sexual activity. So we welcomed our sisters legally and officially to the hell in 1995.

In a western country, I am sure the fact that decides if you can get a guy is either your good looks or money. Here in Sri Lanka while those facts matters a great deal, having a place will raise your chances significantly; a safe place where you can have something discreetly. What’s the point of having a six pack and an 8 inch censored if you don’t have a place where you can’t show them off.

As I am still living with parents, I guess I’ll have to choose a guy with a belly and an 5 inches censored over a guy with a six pack and an 8 inch censored, having a place being the deciding fact.

I so want to move out…………
