Support them! They're NOT dogs- their people too!!!!
Back to 'HIV & Sexuality' forum.
I still dont understand why gay marriage is banned almost.......everywhere!!!! Its not fair, i dont think that just because you might have a different sexuality from other people that u have to be left out in the rain, kicked out of the house, or neglected. That goes for ALL the parents of the gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. And as for the friends of them- support them, and if needed- keep their secret, and maybe even help them come out to their parents- THE HARDEST THING- i hope the smoke cleared out of your mind while reading this. and if this applies to u, dont deny it- help who needs it. Do something.

I don't understand it either. I'm bisexual and I came out to my one of brothers but now whenever he doesn't get what he wants out of me he black mails me and says I'm going to tell mom your bisexual if you don't do this or that. It makes me feel so trapped in my home. My mom has said numerous times that she wouldn't believe if any of us weren't straight. I feel as though I kept it in too long and now I know I can't come out cuz she won't believe me, I know I'll be kicked out of the house too cuz she wouldn't like it. I've come out to my friends and they support me, but before them i came out to an ex bf of mine and he called me so many wrong things that I just wanted to die. My mom would think this is all an act but its not I just didn't understand why I had feelings for girls and guys until now, which makes it worse when I can't tell my family.
I don't understand why it's got to be like that either... It's not fair. No one asked to be like that, you never really know. It's something inside you and you just have to deal with it. It's not fair that because your sexuality is different you get a different treatment from people around you that are suppose to love and support you no matter what like your family and true friends. It's not right for your parents to kick you out or anything like that. It's not something that someone can help honestly. It just is like that.
Live to dream.
Its actually not your fault that your Bisexual. Homosexuals are born gay. So its not really something that just happens. I'm sure there are people who just happen to be attracted to the same sex though I'm sure.
kodabug thank you, i really think that this needed to be said, because people are born with a sexual orientation, its not a phase like everyone says and we don't do it to "rebel against god". I didn't choose to be Bisexual, I just am. It's the way i was made. not my fault. i still live a fairly normal life aside from those abnormally homophobic people.
I have friends, I'm in a relationship, i play music, i write, im smart. I'm just myself. its not that i picked it or anything it just is. I actuallly haven't told my family yet because I don't know how they'll react to it. My friends accepted it and they really don't care, it doesn't change who i am.
It doesn't change anyone
Live to dream.
I have been put down several times because I'm bisexual. I have told my friends and all of them are cool with it. I have not told my parents about it though, cause I had brought up the topic before and asked them what they would do if my brother or I were to tell them were gay? And they said they would kick us out of the house! They are totally against it! I had told my aunt last week that I was Bi, cause I trusted her and thought she was cool with it. Well I was wrong. I got yelled at through the phone, all because I told her my true self!
I'm going out with a girl right now, and I'm happier than ever! Everyone around me is happy for us, but I'm scared to tell my parents cause I know what will happen! Also when your walking somewhere, and people see you holding hands with the same sex as you, they look at you like your some type of desease! When my girlfriend and I walk the school halls together, we always walk past this girl who glares us down, cause were Bi and going out.
Also today one of my friends said he saw two guys sitting together and called them gay. I went off on him cause he went to the assumption that they were gay because they were sitting next to eachother! So I asked him what he would do if it was two girls sitting together? Its practically the same thing. He said it would be fine. Then he said two girls making out would be hot, and two guys making out would be nasty/wrong. I don't get it! It shouldn't matter what your sex is! As long as your happy and you love the person, it shouldn't matter if you kiss them. How is it nasty? People like him get on my nerves. Were all the same no matter who we like! Treat us with respect!
I don't really understand why the LGBT community is treated differntly either. I guess alot of it comes from religion. Which is totally lame. I mean, like in that movie Prayers For Bobby in the part that the preacher talks about how times are different now and how somethings have changed and all. Well I told my grandparents about that...They just do not understand my opinion or anything. And at my school, most everyone gets fired up at the mention of homosexuals...Most of the people there say that homosexuals should be burned at the stake or locked in a cell and tortured...It is horrible.. They are people JUST like everyone elese...and the people who have friends who come out, and then they treat them differntly or something, their friend is the SAME person they were before, but with less secrets.
And I really don't comprehend why people have a problem with same sex marriage. I mean, what do all these straight people know about marriage anyway. Most hetero marriages fail anyway. So many people do not know much about love. In that fact, the same people who say to love one of the same sex is wrong, and agaisnt the bible, divorce is agiasnt the bible. Abusing your spouse is against the bible, getting drunk is against the bible. All these peopel who seem so keen on the bible when it comes to homosexuality are not so forth right and do not oblige to well when it comes to other factors of life....It is very dissapointing. ) :
my moms recently got married,it was one of the happiest days of my life!
it is not fair when people find out that my mother is a lesbian,and treat her differently!! it is a huge issue in my life,and it discuss me when people say homophobic things!! I have walked away, literally just walked away from people when they say homophobic things!!
my parents marriage is not federally recognized, even though they've been together for most of my life. I am constantly put in the position of standing up for my parents to peers, and even to adults. At about 4 or 5 years old I was standing in a parking lot,and someone told me that me and my whole family were burning it hell, and would be tortured forever to pay for our sins. that was the first time I ever remember anyone saying anything of that nature to me, and it's been the same ever since. Every day of my existence, and every our.... I am being strong, being brave, standing up for what is right, losing friends, making enemies, and being who I am!!
hmm, don't want to burst anyones bubble- but why would you want to get married?
all the people I know who are married are like totally suicidal lol.
maybe its a good thing their banning marriage for this.
But I have a problemo. My grandma (yes, my GRANDMA) moved to Ohio (it's totally PRO- Gay marriage there) and ended up marrying this woman.
a year later, she leaves her cause she goes "What in the hell was I thinking! I'm not gay!"
That makes me say, maybe if marriage was more attainable for gays, many more non-gay straights will end up in situations where they were experimenting with the idea of being gay but confused experimenting with the reality of actually being gay.
And no. I have nothing against gays, hell, just about everyone in my town thinks I'm gay- i prefer omnisexual at the moment- but I do think maybe the marriage issue is being made more of a big deal then it is plus the fact that I think the marriage issue is kind of a waste.
oh, and if you actually "read" the bible- theres like a ton of racy scenes in there, i swear theres a few gay love scenes in there as well- so I don't know why in the hell people always say the bible says don't be gay-
and if god is so angry, why doesn't he send a firebolt down to fry our gay asses?
lol
lol @ your grandma.
& honestly, I don't want to get married to woman (i'm a lesbian)
i just want the right to know i can if i want to. i want to be treated equally.
There are a few obstacles in the way such as traditional values, especially in more rural areas, the values of constituents, representatives, and senators, and the need for an overwhelming spirit. Most large changes to legislation take decades to set in and become more accepted by the nation as a whole, and in addition, representatives need to here the voices of those they represent before they can propose or properly vote on legislation. When a representative truly believes in a cause, or is willing to fight for the wants of his constituents, they are more likely to be involved in the process.
If you believe or disagree regardless, it is important to make your voice heard. You can do so anonymously if you would like to. Be sure to vote, write and call your representatives, and network in your community.
At this link, you can find various contacts: http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml
Also keep an eye for movements, petitions, and rallies in your local newspaper, social networks (ex. Facebook), and fellow friends.
Be polite about your stance and make your voice heard in your community!
I don't understand it, either. I am a Bisexual who identifies with the term Lesbian. I'm lucky as to have a mother who accepts me for who I am, but I am really disappointed in hearing others are not so lucky. The LGBTI community should be respected as people, not "Others." It's not like it's contagious. I support the LGBTI communtiy 100%! Anyone who agrees, say "I"!
