L.g.b.t.q. This thread is where people can talk about their sexuality. Everyone is welcome to participate and share their stories and experiences, hopefully so others can feel they are not alone and to build a sense of community around the fact that we are all people. Or ponies, if you prefer.
I had honestly been expecting something like it, but I was still slightly surprised when I realized it. My self esteem actually got better, since I had identified as asexual before I decided I was gay. Now I have an adorable boyfriend and I can act flamboyant in public without feeling weird any more. Sure, I might get weird looks, but so what? It's fun! My parents still don't know, not that they need to.
I'm the same there for now. It's not that my family aren't opposed, I'm just not ready for the reconstruction of my identity and relationship with them right now.
A better title would have been "What's Your Sexuality?" Why exclude straight people though? Everyone has their story.
Yeah, my bad. I put the "Q" at the end meaning the rest of the people who are questioning or straight, though I should have clarified. It seemed like the last thread about it died so I thought I'd make a new one. I put it in serious discussion because I thought it might become lengthy at some point, but would still be just a place to talk about your orientation and life.
Oops...is there a way to change the title then? I think it could be good. Plus, I don't wanna offend anyone. Then again, I'll just elaborate the description.
If you can't see an edit button underneath the very first post of this thread then send me a PM with what you want changed and I'll alter it for you.
I posted this on the other thread, but I'll also put it here. Right after DOMA got taken down, there was an article on the Today show about gay marriage, and how it is okay to be LGBT. And the whole time my homophobic dad threw a fit, and was saying things like "That's not God's way, those people should be ashamed." The whole time I wanted to smack him because, while I am straight, I have nothing wrong with gay/lesbian people, that is the way they are and people shouldn't judge others because they are different.
The Bible doesn't seem to have much of a bias against Homosexuals, from what I remember. Heck! That line about not lying down with another man is just as likely, if not more, to be just a metaphor for not treating a man like a woman and giving him a hard time.
Exactly. I'm a faithful Christian myself and I don't think God cares. As for my parents, well...when I told them I was bi, it was like the house got nuked, then they wouldn't talk to me for two weeks, then forgot about it. I don't think I'll ever bring it up again lol. Although, like the all-loving God, I wish they had the same view.
I hold the view that God's style is 'Anything Goes' really. I struggle to believe that a Father with infinite love and patience as he's been described to me whenever I ever heard a prayer, would care who his creation had chosen to fall in love with, creating happiness between them both. It doesn't sound right to me.
I know people that are both gay and bi, perfectly fine people to me. Myself I'm straight as an arrow as some might say, though I might as well be alone for the rest of my life.
Thinking like that doesn't help mate. I refuse to believe it ever will. A little bravery can go along way.
