Welcome to Gaia! ::

Wow, no offense but your mom needs to be b***h slapped. sweatdrop

People really need to open their ******** eyes. This makes me so angry.. that people think these things. We're just like everyone else. We love, we cry, we make mistakes.. Not all of us want to rape little children. We have morals even if we dont do every single little thing the bible tells us to do.

Exactly! I was like "So straight men don't rape?" and she basically said that yes, they do, but that WAY more gay men rape people than straight men, and that if there were NO gay people, there would be practically no rape. She used the example that "Why, 40 years ago, rape was unheard of, and there were WAY less gay people back then!" I was thinking "No, there were just way more CLOSETED ones. -__-" But by that point she'd been yelling at me so much that I'd burst into tears and then eventually ran upstairs to call my dad. I was enough of an emotional wreck that I got no homework done. I missed school today because of it.

She seems to think that gay people =/= humans with emotions and "normal" aspirations (homes, jobs, someone to love them for who they are -__-)

Personally, I am a Christian, so I do try to follow a good majority of the Bible's teachings (they have some ridiculous ones about, say, not cutting one's hair.. -__-) - does being a lesbian make me less of a Christian? No. Do I have morals? Of course I do! So why wouldn't any OTHER average homosexual?

*fume* Gay men who rape little boys are JUST as ******** up in the head as straight men who rape little girls, and vice versa.



Sorry to rant on my own topic like that in a reply post. xd

It's the availability heuristic... I learned about it in psychology.

I agree!



I thank god that my mom is very understanding about homosexualitY! Yet I haven't come out yet because I'm not veru sure of what I am! I'm like a 4 the kinsey scale but I don't how to explain that! We both hate a lot of things abput the bible and catholic church yet she is still a devout but rational catholic woman!

Heh, no problem guys. I've been around the block on this stuff. ^^;

Bad stereotypes. It’s hard to deal with them but we all have to learn that they'll always be there until either:
1) We all mix our races so much were all 1 race, there is no such thing as being an 'individual', and there is no 'normal' sexuality.
2) Or we all die.

I know how upsetting it can be when people are like that, especially parents. Lucky for myself my mother is open about these things but I know how other parents get.

It seems to boil down to ignorance and not wanting to change, or having a problem with how and what it is.

South Park did this issue once. Big Gay Al was the leader of the scout troupe, and he was very nice and embodied everythign that a scout leader should be, but he got kicked out when the elder scout masters learned he was gay. They then replaced him with a very buff straight man, but as soon as the parents left, the new leaders first activity was... Naked Pictures. He also threatened to hurt the children if they told anyone. In the end the police got the guy and I think Big Gay Al returned to scouting.
