“He’s not gay he’s just attracted to men” sure Jan

[@SnowBlowerNoBlower]

He's not gay but his boyfriend is. these poor men, surrounded by people that hate them. You cannot change your gayness anymore than someone can change being straight. People that say it's a choice are insane. I suggested it to one such person that he simply choose to be be gay then switch back just to show how easy it is. The idea horrified him.

[@iAmNothingness]

Your 🧠 must be grateful for sitting in your skull 😂

[@The_Crucible714]

The general consensus in the psychiatric community is that *sexuality is fluid.* Everyone has some degree of *same-sex attraction,* not meaning to say that everyone desires having sex with a same-sex partner. The attraction could be anything from admiring another s/s person’s personality, hair, lifestyle, etc. to wanting to engage in sexual acts with them. About 20 years ago the rate of homosexuality in adult men in the USA was *approx 3 out of 10,* recent studies indicate the rate has risen slightly. The biggest hurdles gay people are faced with are religious *(primarily Christian)* taboos and pressure from family & peer groups. Homosexuality is frequently found in nature where no social pressures to conform exist. For one’s own mental well being it’s far better to thoroughly investigate their s/s desires in a supportive environment before rushing into a heterosexual union. Forcing oneself into such a partnership guarantees a *life of frustration* for everyone involved including any children which may result.

I was so terrified of being an f slur I ruined my entire life. And I'm still gay. So yeah. I kind of wish I hadn't done that. But at least I finally fucking know what it is to feel something for someone. I get that attraction isn't just a calculation of the person's physical attractiveness. It's way deeper than that. I may have made my life so bad and done so many effed up things that I'll never get the chance to have what I really truly want, which is to wake up beside someone whom I love and who loves me. But thems the breaks. I hope anyone who reads this and has even a shadow of a thought they might be gay finds out asap. You'll know lol. It's night and day.

Nobody said anything and I was thinking I went crazy until my ex father in law brought it up and I found myself defending their “relationship” as I assume that there had to be an understanding between the woman and her husband. I ended up politely asking her and she said I was crazy and hated me forever more. The level of animosity suggests I’m not far off

Your story isn’t unique. Lots of woman try to find a scapegoat when their (very obviously) gay husband finally comes out.

That’s fascinating. Also the fact that also you describe him as being flamboyant. Because I’ve often wondered if the stereotypical mannerisms that get associated with gay men, like body language and speech patterns, are learned or inherent. if this guy has reasons to hide his true self, you’d think he wouldn’t be comfortable expressing himself in that way. There’s probably literature or a study done on this, I should go take a look. Thanks for sharing.

@@__gemoftheeast You have to do a mission if you're a guy (basically go annoying door to door, or go to some poor country, build them some infrastructure and force them into your religion), girls can do mission but I think they're encouraged to quit early and marry a man who has already done a mission.

“Gay” and “SSA” are both social constructs. Both are arguably just as valid conceptions of what is happening here with these fine gentlemen.

[@someperson8649]

Not a social construct. It's a biological phenomena.

[@cinnamondan4984]

@ yes, but labelling it “gay” or “ssa”…these have the same meaning in that they designate someone who wants to get down with those of the same sex. Whether or not such a desire should be acted upon…that’s not something you can verify scientifically.

[@DokisKalin1]

you've just said nothing at all. a nation state is a social construct...

[@cinnamondan4984]

@ Sure. Any nation does not have a God given right to be identified as it desires. Like the status of the territories that were/are part of the Ukraine now governed/occupied by Russia. So, the status of these areas is a social construct…there is no God given right for either nation to preside over the land.
