Coming Out: The Thread (Continued)

They bring up Leviticus, you bring up "God made all his children in his image"

Works 10/10 times

or that levictus also said that you cant eat shellfish. or masturbate. and yet we are all doing that today.
people really need to learn that the bible is a pile of flaming crap. not to mention how retarded it is to believe in a magic super wizzard from outer space...

also (for the sake of the argument lets assume that god does exist), who is your mom to say what god wants? who does she think she is doing the job of god and judge people like that? last time i checked the bible also said "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself!". or is that only true if your neighbor is "an honest christian" as well? but even then, as far as i know jesus is the one who is supposed to do the judging and we are just supposed to love and understand each other...

you know like this:

edit:
there is simply no evidence at all that homosexuality is wrong or evil.
"duhhh, its unatural so you arent supposed to be doing that!" yeah, well cars are not natural as well. and we all use them today.
GOD ITSELF is not part of nature. does that mean god is evil as well?

Also I heard somewhere that acting as if you pass off your words as if they were god's or you judge another person and act as if you know their fates are two of the greatest acts of pride, therefore it is a sin, and it is considered the deadliest of the seven.

I just love the bible. Everything in it contradicts everything everyone does, good christian or not.

yup! the wholde darn thing makes no sense at all. and yet people dont dare to question it and continue to harass those who dont believe in it and those who are portrayed as evil by their cute little holy book.
it is disgusting...
there ARE christians out there who do it as the bible says and dont judge or hate anyone but lets be serious here, those who do spread their bigotry are the reason why gay marriage is STILL such a huge issue for politicians.
"well, its the opinion of the people that gays shouldnt get married!". but they completely ignore that this opinion isnt based on any evidence at all. and therefore that opinion is completely irrelevant!
there is no reason at all that gays shouldnt allowed to get married.
if anything, they EARNED the right to get married!

lets face it, how many straight marriages are getting divorced within the first 10 years after they got married? this "holy ritual" isnt holy anymore at all!
and gay people are actually fighting for it! they wont get divorced, they have been living together for years, stuggeling to get accepted. those couples will stay together and yet they arent allowed to get married... it makes no sense at all!

I'm not gay, let's get that out of the way. I do however support those who are. Hell, I've even had a few friends of mine in high school who were gay. I'm totally cool with it. My heart goes out to those who are gay and are having problems (ie. parents). Fight on for what you believe in.

this doesnt really have to do anything with belief though^^ you are either gay or you arent, its dictated by nature.
and i think this makes the whole thing even worse. how can the part of the nature of a person that dictates their mating behavior towards other consenting adults be evil or unethical?

It souldn't make them evil, they're still a person. If a person is attracted towards another male/woman then they should. It's the way they are and nothing can change it. People who are not tolerant should just accept the way those people are and deal with it.

Quick update on my life:

So for I think 4 months me and my boyfriend have been going out. Great and we have never been better.

Though I will say when my mom found out about me dating a guy she didnt really say anything at the time. But late when I talked to her about it she said it "isnt meant to be that way" and "its not what god wants".
Well mom who are you to tell me who I can and cant love? Do you expect me to just break up with him to sastify your catholic beliefs? Fuck you this is my life and I dont need you telling me its wrong and try to control me.

Say, "Mom, bring me a Bible."
Open to 1 Timothy 2:12 and read it aloud. It says right in the Bible, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must keep quiet."
Close the Bible and ask her to think about what she had just said and walk away.

no, he should send her out to fetch him a sandwich instead! because thats what god would want :V

I think as of now, I'm out.

I feel like sexuality is so open that it doesn't matter anymore.

Only the people that should care know.

I'm so glad that it's not a potential problem anymore; I'm out, I guess.

Who'd you come out to? : DDD

[Mullerornis]

Ah, the Bible "arguments".

Just tell them that their cult is based on a mistranslation of "Ego eimi oh on", and they are reduced to gibbering, insulting messes.

Easy for you to say. ¬.¬

Around some people that's the attitude. Around my friends, and around furries of course that's the attitude. Around older generations it isn't though.

[Shy husky]

Coming out of the closet its kind of scary because you don't know what the person's reaction is going to be, I have told my older brother and I have known him my whole life, he sort if knew that I was bi, but I'm scared to tell my parents and my friends

I haven't told anyone except some people online. I'm scared to to anyone IRL and have yet to.

I wish I was as unlucky as you guys. At least then I could relate. My mum knows I'm a sexually open mostly gay furry delphinophile but doesn't care. She just wants me to be happy.

Family's the scariest. My aunt, from up north, actually didn't even blink an eyelid when I said I'm into guys; my mom flipped shit and drank herself through the night. Guess it goes to show how much geography changes opinions.

[MattisVeneficus]

I'm trying to think who in my life would be the hardest to tell so I can tell them last.

I can agree with you on that its easier if you start with people who you think will understand ya

[Hinalle K.]

The father?

[Shy husky]

It would depend on how your father feels and acts about gays, lets say he dosen't really minds about you being gay or something else then go for it but if he hates gays then don't try it until your sure if you think its safe at least in my opinion

The father is usually the most troublesome one to come out to, I'd guess.

[Spatel]

I would imagine grandparents are generally worse about it than parents. And my mother was worse than my father, so it's hard for me to judge the percentages for that.
