The Tragic Tale of LOHANTHONY ⌦ The Vine Star Who 'Renounced' His Sexuality and Joined The Military

[@frogurtcremebrulee5252]

I really really hope he’s okay. Putting his sexuality with alcohol and drugs and saying that his “same sex attraction” was caused from abuse at a young age really concerns me. This might very well be the result of conversion therapy and maybe he doesn’t realize it. I really hope he’s okay.

I think he’s very lost and he’s just looking for himself. This has actually been a long time coming. I hope he finds what he is looking for.

[@hefoxed]

LA is a tough city to be LGBT in, I've heard. It's big, and there's a lot someone can find, but it's also because it's so big, it's easy to get lost and also over indulge in party culture to determent of self. In many ways, smaller queer communities can be better for some.

I feel like they were on the right path of being true to yourself and expressing what you love. But along the way stumble on a road block, either from being in the wrong crowds (there're gonna be wrong crowds no matter which community you're in) or indulging in something to the excess that it gets detrimental. And when they were feeling just the right amount of vulnerable, the "we just wanna help you find love and god" people swept in and manipulated them.

I'm not religious, but I remember being so welcomed and loved at a youth group I went to for a few years, as something to do other than going home to my abusive dad. The pastor constantly told me being gay was NOTHING to be ashamed of. Even told me my tattoos were fine. Said, and I quote 'yes ,our body is a temple, but some temples have colorful stained glass' his name was Gerald, from the Phoenix Friends Church, and with that being my only church experience, it was the best.

[@MB-nx9tq]

No, that’s not true. For the Levitical laws the idea is that homosexuality was a foreign practice and thus was an abomination. The use of the word Arsenokoitai (literally man-bedder) in the Pauline letters (most of which are forgeries) is a direct reference to the Septuagint’s condemnations of homosexuality, and applies to all Christian’s. The problem is not that the Bible secretly doesn’t condemn homosexuality, but that the Bible itself is in error about the nature of reality and has many contradictions in it. It is of no moral value for us because it is a product of pure human origin.

[@SaucyCow19]

In the original translation it meant homosexuality, also look at Sodom and Gommorah, not only that look at our biology, it only goes with the opposite sex.

I'm a Christian, but it took most of my life to accept my sexuality because of the puritan culture we're raised in. I am also bisexual, and it took me ages to accept that. I tried to pray the gay away and it didn't work because God made me exactly the way that I am. I feel so sad for the shame he felt because I was there. I felt that for so long. It's a constant looming shadow, and God doesn't want us to feel that way about ourselves. We're supposed to be free of shame because of Christ. There are a lot of cultlike practices in the American church today. It's really the exact opposite of what Jesus intended.

I asked if he still knew him and how he was doing and he was just like “uh yeah he’s very different now”. When I looked into it I got sad tbch, something about him just didn’t feel authentic. I feel bad that he’s struggled and went through what he did, but I don’t think repressing his sexuality is the right way to heal. I hope he truly finds himself and happiness again

[@katbairwell]

Given that same-sex pairings occur in the rest of nature, notably in species that pair for life, I cannot take seriously any religion that claims their God is all knowing, and all powerful, and also that same-sex pairings are a sin. Either your God made multiple mistakes, or you misunderstand their teachings, both cannot be true. The same argument goes to the idea women should be punished for Eve's sin, given that God made Eve knowing she was going to eat the fruit, thus her eating the fruit was His choice, not hers, and thus women are being persecuted without fault. Anyway, "some animals are gay, get over it" is, I think, the crux (pun intended) of my comment.

They realized that they were no longer happy living the way they are and have found a different lifestyle that makes them feel more fulfilled How can u ever tell someone else “this isn’t who u are”

[@chelscara]

Sometimes I feel like people that find themselves early almost have this nagging at the back of their kind that, because they are similar to their younger selves, they haven’t matured. Really, they just happened to be lucky in finding certain important parts of their life early on (family situation notwithstanding). So an opportunity to make a big shift comes, whether from a new peer group, new school, new area, any number of things, and especially after a low point in their life, and they dive head first without a second thought. They feel they are going downhill, find people that give an “answer”, and hold on for dear life. I hope he’s ok, I hope he finds what he needs including peace within himself.

It’s sad overall because if he’s running from something, he’s not gonna find it in Christianity or in the military or In anything he does moving forward. Even if he suddenly had a change of heart in terms of his sexuality, I think the shift from who he was as a person, rather than who he was with his sexuality, is probably the more concerning part.

[@radishfest]

I wonder if part of it is the military providing a way to "earn" loving people who are the same gender. It's been used as cover/home for a long, long time despite being hostile to queer ppl on the surface. Can't think of any other career where men having deep love for each other is seen as masculine, good, encouraged. My cousin who Knew (milspec gaydar joke?) has been a marine ever since he burned out in LA, acting broke him. He looks really happy in the pictures he sends. There's one of him posing by an entire tiger in Thailand lmao. He's always conspicuously alone in photos, but I figure sometimes someone special is holding the camera.

I’ve had a similar journey in “finding Christ” and becoming a “born again” Christian. I never fully renounced my sexuality (gay) because I never really understood “why” it’s consider as grave of a sin as murder or stealing. I’ve also always had concerns about the Bible itself. Not just the text, but if the text is accurate. When translating meaning from one language to another, there is bound to be something “lost in translation”. Not to mention power leads to corruption and theirs history of people running the church and leaders of religions. It might sound like I’m making up excuses to not confront my sinful nature, but I feel like if a faith is truly me making such dramatic changes to myself, I need to have a strong belief that it’s REAL. I feel like we don’t put a “burden of truth” to religion only because of the amount of indoctrination we put through in our culture groups (God is love. Never doubt God or you’ll go to Hell). I believe Religion shouldn’t be a substitute for ignorance, but a vessel for truth and I just don’t see that.

[@MB-nx9tq]

Couldn’t agree more. As Marx put it religion is the opium of the people, the spirit of a soulless world. What an amazing observation. Religion is used by desperate people to comfort themselves and by the greedy that have everything to gain by utilizing its powers. It’s been this was since the ancient pagan cults of the gods and it continues this way till today. Hitchens has noted that religion will be with us until we no longer fear death, which will probably be for a long time. But it’s still useful to attack jt for its emptiness, it’s delusion, it’s error, and it’s capriciousness.

Happy hols to you too!

[@Paxicara]

He seemed unhappy with who he was and he's doing something that makes him happy now. People are allowed to not like being gay if they want to. Freewill and all that. He's an adult let him hate being gay if he wants 🤷‍♀ As for this being dangerous for children to see, that's not his responsibility. I'm not even a Christian, I'm just tired of people trying to control strangers' lives on the internet.

[@chelscara]

… don’t post on the internet then? You don’t post for privacy, you post to influence 😂😂

[@minni3me7]

It’s so strange because this has happened to two of my favorite internet comedians. him and Emmanuel Matos. Maybe it’s a coincidence but still sad. They used to seem so happy and full of life and they don’t anymore. I’m not blaming Christianity but clearly there is trauma that I hope they can work out and just live in peace and be truly happy

[@Disgruntled_Canadian]

Well he said he was sexually assaulted so yeah it has nothing to do with Christianity.Nice try tho.

[@user-ld6th3vw8e]

that Bible quote abt "men laying with other men" is so cherrypicked and also iirc the intentional result of homophobic translations ("taking the lords name in vain" if you will)

[@Disgruntled_Canadian]

Wrong. Why do you say things you know nothing about? It talks about it in both the new and Old Testament in several places. We’re the all translated incorrectly? Please tell us more Mr theologian.

[@ericaespinoza5212]

So happy for Anthony ❤️

[@Benleyy]

Weird and nasty

[@RebaMcImTired]

Being happy for internalized homophobia is very gross.

[@melanieburd1416]

I'm convinced that Dylan Mulvaney wanted to be the next Lohanthony

[@cathare4909]

He traded being funny for religion i guess. Whatever works for him 🤷‍♀️

[@staciii]

You can be funny and religious. That wasn't the main issue

[@pwndizzle2199]

If yall have any negative opinions about the bible through other peoples word of mouth, read it for yourself! Christ loves all of you

[@RebaMcImTired]

Thanks, but I’m good.

[@AtariAlive]

Christ is King! AVE MARIA!

[@Benleyy]

God made gays, get over it

[@svi2623]

Why are people pressed about his changing his sexuality? So it’s ok for a straight to come out as gay but a gay person can’t go back to being straight again? I understand that sudden change and extreme change ie worrying however you saying he is not being himself is not helping at all

[@Arionid]

what if the natural urge was towards a kid? 💀 lil bro really saying not wanting to be a depressed coomer is shameful or bad oh nah bouy wut da heeeeeal 💀

[@emilyglonek7417]

I'm confused, are you comparing homosexuality to pedophilia because they are VERY different things

[@HylkjenArt]

I’m so glad God showed him the truth and light. I pray that he will be strong in faith and to always trust on Gods unwavering promises ❤

[@darkcarnage5239]

First he was gay now he’s bringing freedom and democracy to third world countries.. damn . How the lows have fallen

[@_._B.]

The army will probably provide him with a wealth of 🐓 to kneel for.

[@overallcyclingchannel6102]

I agree with your opinions here mostly, but you have a severe lacking of understanding regarding Christianity and the messages Anthony was promoting.

[@devadasn]

I’m happy that he’s Christian. It’s nobody’s life but his if he thinks he’s doing the right thing more power to him. Here comes the hate…

[@frogurtcremebrulee5252]

There’s nothing wrong with being a Christian. The issue is that he might have gone through conversion therapy.

[@eggbugroll]

thing is that nobody is forcing anyone to be transgender while conversion therapy aims to convert someone who is gay to straight because they view it as a bad thing@@richs.376

[@chelscara]

So as a thought experiment, if someone thinks they’re doing the right thing by hurting themselves in the name of God (plenty of religious texts including Christianity say you should harm yourself if you sin) is that good? Is that more power to them?

[@J0e1.]

I don't understand why unbeliervers can't understand that homosexuality is considered a sin according to many religions. If a person's religion says something is wrong, who are you, especially if you are an atheist to say that is crazy or wrong. What grounds are you making such a judgement? For them their creator or higher power has regarded it as sinful. You having no basis for morality aka relative morality, have no right to tell someone wih a different worldview as wrong as you have no basis for your worldview.

[@chimchim]

these comments are so lost. y'all hate to see people turn to God and grow in their faith. please seek God.

[@AnAroaceCrow]

That's not the issue. People are free to practice whatever religion they want to, or to not be religious at all, but it seems like he went through conversion therapy, which overwhelming does not work. There are many horror stories of what people have gone through because of a mistranslation in the bible that people use to justify their homophobia.

[@lolilikefrogs8509]

Judging by all your comments you're pushing people away from God and he hattttesssss that especially if it's his followers doing it sooooo maybe you should check yourself cause I bet Gods looking down at you rn and thinking "this bitch-" 💀

[@chelscara]

Your other comment literally says God wants you to not be yourself just cause, you don’t even know what religion is 😂Hahaha

No🫡

"tragic" because he found Christ and saved his soul? Absurd.

@@Disgruntled_Canadianyou’re born gay, you can’t help who you like. You can chose to be a Christian however. Christianity is a cult.

[@RebaMcImTired]

@@Disgruntled_Canadian I thought Canadian people were supposed to be kinder and smarter than other people. Apparently, that’s not true.

[@chimchim]

do y'all not get it? turning to Christ literally means taking up your cross, so the way y'all "hope he lives his true self" is the opposite of what Christ tells us to do and is the opposite of what anthony wants to do. maybe looking into God is something y'all should look into.
