Yup, we may have gotten off topic, but that's what this thread's for... So, feel free to talk about it if you feel comfortable to, we're all ponies here anyways ^_^
Heh, I'm like, half out the closet. All my friends on the internet know, at least. I don't try to keep it secret from people IRL or anything; just no one asks.
i say im way into the closet because i even admited it to myself, i mean, yeah i like boys and girls but i resist to accept it, its ridiculous i know but im affraid of admiting it...
Nothing wrong with being who you are. Once you accept it (if it is indeed true) I assure you life just gets easier ^^
it is indeed, i have no doubt, but i grew up learning that it was wrong so i guess it will be a little hard to say to myself that its not a wrong thing.
I HAVE ARRIVED I used to feel the same way, I was really scared and just hope it would go away, because it wasn't normal and conflicted with all I expected to get in life. Now I'm more than happy with my sexuality, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It sucks, though, being the minority- because in a tiny community like mine, there's no one else that's really outspoken about it. :S It's also possible that you're just "curious" and that it will 'resolve' itself later. I think that's mostly based around your will, though- but that's the only place that I'll accept anything about that, with choosing your sexuality. This is probably because I'm just a huge flaming dramawhore, but I get really depressed when someone learns of my sexuality and they really don't care. ESPECIALLY when I had practically no friends. :c It's kinda weird how acceptable it is on the internet now- or at least, in most places- and yet it's still used as an insult so commonly. I dun get it.
hmmmm this is a interesting topic.... well in all actuality i feel that im sexually confused at the moment xP i really dont know what to feel lol i have no problem with the homosexual community though, their just the same as any other human being on this planet; i mean sure we all think differently but you gotta remember that we all bleed the same color and all share the same burden/challenges in life
i dont think im just curious because i had a few histories of falling in love for friends (both girls and guys) i dont know if it proves anything but still is how i feel, i have no problem with homosexuals at all, im starting to accept it, even if i might be just curious i think i can live with it, im just affraid of my fathers threats, but thats all right i guess...
Sexuality is a topic that both interests me and envokes me. I personally believe sexuality is far more fluid than definitions give credit for. It seems as if people can be classified by their sexuality, which not only do I find ridiculous, but also slightly segregational. I don't see how labelling a sexuality serves any purpose. I suppose for things like dating sites, it can be convenient to narrow down your preferences, but in a general scope I think it's rather counter productive. I do dream of a day when deciding sexual preferences is an easy and insignificant transition. There's none of this worrying if society will accept you, it will be as trivial as getting your hair cut. I say this because this is how trivial I think it is. Sexuality has absolutely no part in influencing a person's personality, so I don't see why somebody should be judged on it. I would treat nobody in a way that was based by my opinions of their sexuality. In fact, I don't think I would even form opinons based on their sexuality. If somebody can't help but feel love for someone of their own sex and gender, what stops them from being a lovely person? It doesn't make them any lesser or any greater than any other sexuality. To be honest, I think a lot of people are not as aware of their sexuality as they think they are. Me, I'm comfortable with being heterosexual, but that's because I've thought about it and I'm only attracted to women. I'm confident in saying quite a lot of homophobes possibly have supressed sexual issues, which they distance themselves from by denying vehemently. In summary, like it matters who's gay or not. If people feel the need to point out sexuality, then all sexualities should be (not that this should be the case). I've always stuck to the mantra that if what someone does with their private parts is concerning me, then I'm the one with a problem. You know, I'd really like it if there were no sexualities. People just loved whoever they wanted. If that happens to be someone of the same gender, no significance. I just doubt this will ever happen. Society just isn't up to it it would seem.
This post is directed at you Luprony, didn't want to quote it because its so long. I agree entirely, sexuality really SHOULDN'T be an issue... the problem is, this terrible world has made it an issue. I really wish it wasn't, but its a huge issue, and I feel that due to the perceptions of everyone else my own sexuality (bisexual) has had a much larger impact on my life than it should have. I won't go into details; I don't want to bother anyone with my own problems, but essentially, I do agree with your post and wish that people didn't make such a big deal out of it, but sadly they do.
I hope no trouble is stirred by this thread, just remember that there are other threads on this site that I'm sure are willing to give advice to people who may be stressing under their own sexual tendencies, there's no reason to restrict it all into one thread.
I didn't intend for this thread to be only for homosexual people talking about how it is being homosexual. Anyone is welcome to hang in this thread, no matter who you are, gay, bi or straight or other. There's nothing that says a heterosexual person can't be a moral support for someone else. Noone should have to ask if they are "still welcome to post in this thread" If you're welcome on the this forum, you're welcome in this thread, simple as that.
I just wanted to say I am in full support of everypony having equal rights regardless of sexual orientation. I do not like homophobes as most of the time these views come from following an irrational dogma and not from any critical thought on their behalf. I am a straight guy, but I have been assumed to be gay by the way I present myself and from my disinterest in usual manly stereotypical hobbies. This annoys me and I hate all the subtle little things homophobes will pick on about people to make assumptions. They all need to be tolerated and... damn I can't used that bad word anymore... Fine, loved I guess.
Ah, I remember the days when the earth was yet boiling, the stream was young, and you could not pass by a day on it without at least once hearing that one "Gay or European" PMV with spike... Now, replies @ Lup Well, that all ties in to the reason we watch the show we all do. Or at least, why I do. MLP contains very little in terms of how it's society works. As such, we all try to fill in the gaps with theories and whatever it is we think it should be. This is why I am part of the touhou "otakudom", since there, I can similarly mold the canon environment to my chosen depiction. However, when describing what it is I have created, I am limited by what words I know, and what words I can say. Relevance of this? From the many shipping fanfics that addled by brain, plus what I saw of the show in it's slice of life stage, I get the impression that Equestria is pretty much what you wish for. Anypony can love anypony, regardless of gender, of social status, of anything. Many would say that this is not canon, and merely what I think, and I can't disagree with that. However, it's nice knowing that there's a place different from ours that we can all learn from. Even though my main reason is that I find that the lulz potential of this as very high. Irrelevant, but true.
Darn... I've arrived at the end of the thread and I've forgotten about everything I wanted to say. Anyhow. Loving someone of the same gender is something natural, and I think we all have at least a little 'gay' in us. Myself, I've never been in love with a boy. Nor do I feel attracted to boys the same way I feel attracted to girls. So, if I had to give myself one of the three labels, I suppose I'm kind of straight.. I just don't worry about it. I am who I am, and I really don't care under which label I fall. I'd very much like to say I think gay/bi people are amazing people, but I suppose that could be taken as stereotyping as well, so I'll just stay with... No, I do not have any problems with people being themselves, in any manner.
