GraysonEvans Posted September 5, 2014 This isn't something I have told a lot of people but you guys make me feel very safe so I thought I would share my story. I spent years confused about my sexuality, I knew I liked women but there was always a lingering feeling of attraction when I looked at other men and that scared me. I grew up in a very christian family, went to summer camps where I was told being gay was a sin and they were so aggressive about their vitriol that one of the campers in my camper tried to steal one of the canoe and run away. So I spent years trying to figure it out and feel okay about my feelings until I started listening Idle thumbs. After about a year of listening I decided to put a face to the voices and looked up the Thumbs twitters, the first person I looked up was Sean and immediately was taken aback. For the first time in a long time I was attracted to another man in such a strong way but I was completely okay with it. I proceeded to look up everyone else and spent the next four hours looking at multiple pictures of Jake Rodkin. The final piece of the puzzle was when Tone Control started coming out and I had multiple dreams of going on a coffee shop date with Steve Gaynor. So basically I was super confused until I saw how attractive Idle thumbs was and I knew I was attracted to men. Thanks guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart Posted September 5, 2014 You should send the Thumbs an e-mail about this. They'd love it, I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coods Posted September 5, 2014 I can't find a link, but there is a certain LGBT Neogaf thread where someone uses Sean as an answer to the question "who is your game dev crush", so you're in good company. Whatever, Sean is the Paul of the group, but Remo is the dreamy brainy one. The boyband vibes I get from this are hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadHat Posted September 7, 2014 As a fellow sort-of gay I think this is great and I'm happy you found some solace in swooning over the thumbs. On the other hand, reading this gave me the heartiest gut laugh I've had in days. So, thanks for that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
