Where Are You From?

Alabama. And no, I was not in the football crowd cheering on the orange fucker yesterday.

Found DL while searching for celebrity gossip.

Europe, but neither the Western nor the Eastern one.

I used to chat on our tiny national gay forum and I also used to be on r/gaybros years ago. Discovered DL ages ago because Anderson Cooper made my teenage mussy twitch and I just had to google him. This is my only gay connection these days, both online and offline.

Oh hey, Alabama R1! So, were those real Drumpf supporters cheering or was it a paid crowd? Coos after the 2 booings I was CERTAIN they would find a way to make the next crowd more lovable - and that's exactly what happened

R2 Southern?

France, and yes, I take a shower every day.

I was born and raised in the Keystone State (PA), lived most of my adult life in the Garden State (NJ) then stupidly early retired to the Sunshine State (FL), hate it here and in the process of relocating back to NJ.

I "love" it how the people from the US never say which country they are from, just the state. Imperial state of mind...

R3 I’m sorry to say it was probably real cheering. Even worse, I know a lot of backwards idiots who support him but I also know plenty of affluent, articulate, well-educated people who do as well. I’ll never understand.

US...Madison, WI. Can't even remember how I first came across DL, must have seen it mentioned somewhere.

OP, Why are Europe and America separated into two listings, while Asia, the largest continent in both size and population only gets one.

I voted Western Europe as I'm from Norway.

Vancouver BC born and bred...but have also lived in the US, Europe and Australia.

LA originally and live in SF currently. I found DL when I was dramatically/embarrassingly googled "spending the holidays alone" and tons of DL posts came up in the search. I went down the DL rabbit hole from there.

HAHAHAHA, R13! Tells you A LOT about the DL demographic, doesn't it? (Chill, I'm alone too)

Born Calgary, grew up in Colorado, have lived in Victoria, BC since 2000.

Chicago. Live in the same house as when I was in kindergarten. Open my curtains in the morning and there's the school.... I stumbled on DL while either looking for pictures of Anthony Recker's butt or that clip of the elephant jumping into a pool to save its buddy. I forget.

[quote]I "love" it how the people from the US never say which country they are from, just the state. Imperial state of mind...

Connecticut, United States of America. I'm about halfway between New York and Boston.

I think the easier answer is on an American based website, the majority will be American, R7. I too am from Connecticut.

I live in Holland. Don't ask me about Amsterdam haven't been there in 3 years eventhough I live 30 minutes train ride away.

Discovered this place many years ago when googling if certain stars were gay. Left after a period that appeared to have a lot of mentally ill people around. It doesn't matter that you are crazy as long as you get a diagnosis and get some help.

Another Bama belle here!

Wow, Alabama seems very well represented on DL... And with a good sense of humor, kudos!

Boston, the Hub of the Universe.

I’m from Virginia, USA. I can’t remember exactly how I found myself here. It had something to do with looking up the biographical details of a long dead celebrity that only DL would know or care about. I love Hollywood history, but a lot of “film buffs” are insufferable, and here it’s way more fun than on reddit.

Los Angeles, specifically West Hollywood. While googling something...

And, 57, 6'4", caucasian, single, and attractive.

We need to add a lonely hearts section to the DataLounge ;) That would be a hoot

I grew up in NC, have lived many places, currently in Maryland.

So what brought you back?

Manhattan. My assistant Randolf thinks I shouldn’t mention my Park Avenue address, but how would the help find us, otherwise?

Boston.

I stumbled on a thread asking “how does eating work, is it first in, first out?” And I was fascinated.

I'm in the US. Ohio to be specific. I stumbled across DL from the now-defunct Atkol forums, looking into vintage gay porn.

I love you, Ohio!

What brought me back was the gossip on Rossie and her breakup and Whitney's secret lesbian love affair.

What I noted is that the ambiance has somewhat changed and improved. Wouldn't call it friendlier but it has certainly changed.

Blocking people definitely helps

Rhode Island

I'm in Vietnam and, yes, i will love you long time.

North America. New Jersey by way of Manhattan and Long Island.

Found DL googling some insane celeb conspiracy theory.

R6 north jersey or south? Where in fl?

France

India Found DL while googling about leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar.

Spacing! India

Found DL while googling about Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar.

France.

Canada. I don't really care for it.

The last time we did this survey there was a DL regular who created a pin world map of all the answers. It was masterful.

Australia. Arrived here by way of seeking an answer when my teen son asked “Is Jeremy Renner gay”. You bitches did not disappoint. And I’m DL exclusive, no other gay boards for moi.

Pennsylvania, USA (Philadelphia area). Originally from DC. I found DL the same way as R24 - looking for gossip on old, obscure movie and TV stars.

1. Missouri, USA.

2. Via a Yahoo! search for Boston gay community groups in 1997.

3. No. Never have.

Southeast Asia. For years I got my "gay news" mostly from Queerty before they become insufferable tranny/SJW propagandist. First came here early last year during the CMBYN mania. This is only online forum which I ( occasionally ) write on.

p/s special thanks for the DL eldergays who introduced me to the fantastic Connie Francis. I'm now listening to Where the Boys Are ( I know MARY! )

Antarctica here. I first stumbled upon DL when I heard one of the penguins accuse the other of giving him surprise anal. I remember wondering what the hell that meant, deciding to look it up and landing on DL.

Originally from the the U.S., Oregon. Now in Cyprus. In the process of deciding if I want to return to the U.S.

Gay celebrity gossips first brought me here. Also, stopped following DL many years because of the trolls.

Boston, Massachusetts. I'm a proud Masshole!

Arrakis, Capital Quadrant.

Looking for info on the Spice Girls. Shocked at my misapprehension!

Des Moines. IA

Another North American (NJ).

I came here in the late '90s when things were calmer, before all hell broke loose during the time of the Bush-Gore election - although even that craziness now seems zen-like compared with what it's like here now.

I think I arrived at DL as a result of something I saw in a Michael Musto column.

I became addicted (and probably posted too many wise-ass comments).

Now however I no longer get the thrill this place used to give me.

You can say my addiction to DL is equivalent to Michael Fassbender's addiction to sex in the movie Shame.

R48 Connie...simply the very best!

Dallas, Tx

I’m from Toronto. I found DL googling Aaron Rodgers.

Born in Los Angeles. Left the USA at age 23 and moved to Japan. Then later, Québec. I now live in two amazing countries in Latin America and decided it's where I'll stay. Would never go back to the USA for anything.
