Hello :v:

[MasterFen007]

Good morni- Oh... I seem to have the wrong thread, can someone tell me where the gay chat thread is please?

[Spencer Sharkey]

i hate when people complain about their families.

[anime poster]

why

[MasterFen007]

Yes, why?

[Spencer Sharkey]

each family has different beliefs. it's wrong to ridicule [i]them[/i] because of it. if someone doesn't like the thought of gay, then whatever. who cares.

[editline]8th June 2012[/editline]

that's just my take.

If your family hates you, you have to deal with it and don't even mention it because you don't like it?
Alright no problem sorry to cause you inconvenience!

[Spencer Sharkey]

well if a family hates someone i'm sure that person could have prevented it.

[editline]8th June 2012[/editline]

for starters, could have not told their family that they were gay?

[MasterFen007]

[QUOTE=Spencer Sharkey;36245322]for starters, could have not told their family that they were gay?[/QUOTE]

What about if that family confronted the person and asked them if they were gay?

[Spencer Sharkey]

you can

1. lie and forget about it.
2. not lie and be bashed.

pretty simple

[editline]8th June 2012[/editline]

and "I didn't know if they liked gay people or not" is stupid. if you don't know your family's take on gay, then you're dumb.

There are instances where a family is ok with gay people, but once they know a gay person is in there household, in the bloodline, etc, opinions can change.

Not everyone's opinion is made concrete.

So you think people should not post about how they have a tough life at home due to how their family treats them because of their sexuality, that they should lie to their own parents so you don't get disowned or worse.
If you however get into a hard-time at home, you better not post about it because you think it's so annoying!!

Maybe you shouldn't even be in this thread, it doesn't seem like the place for you.

[Spencer Sharkey]

I do get into hard times at home for various reasons but I don't bitch about it anywhere.

I like listening to people's problems, because sometimes I can actually help, and it shows me how everyone's life can be diverse.

Just because you prefer to bottle up your feelings doesn't mean everyone else should.

1. Why should somebody pretend to be something they're not?
2. If a person believes that arbitrary characteristics are worth hating over, then they are dumb.

[Yotrig]

Spencer's post kinda made me upset.

For my entire life I've held back telling my family about me being gay. Having it pent up the past 6 years is really getting to me. Everyone would disown me if they knew excluding my mom probably, which sucks because I'm so close to my family (mainly my dad and brothers) but they're the ones who would hate me the most for it if they knew.

I've always been intentionally distant from my family because knowing they'd hate me if they knew really hurts, and to just say "Lie and forget about it" because it conveniences you the most is just cold. They have every right to be upset about it, especially when they're close to their family.

Probably a bad first post for me to have in this thread, but I'm standing up for what I think is right.

[shxwxrs]

That's not a bad post at all.

[Squeaken]

Does anyone else feel like they have no connection whatsoever with the gay community?

[Yotrig]

[QUOTE=Squeaken;36246531]Does anyone else feel like they have no connection whatsoever with the gay community?[/QUOTE]
Me, although I usually stay in the background anyways. Somewhat hoping to change that by keeping my eye on this thread, but I'm usually really quiet so who knows.

I have observed the gay community in the past for quite some time (never here at Facepunch, so not sure what to expect) but from what I saw back then there was a lot of infighting. Gay people hating other gay people because they didn't like the same exact things they liked, and constantly pushing away new open members who are just trying to be friendly and social...I don't get it at all. What good is trying to find common ground for comfort when they're all just bickering and treating each other like crap regardless of us being in the same boat? Of course I realize life isn't all about sunshine and happiness, my point is it just wasn't a welcoming environment at all. It just made me glad I kept my distance, but perhaps that was just a bad crowd.

A family member shouldn't do that, a mother should love her child unconditionally and the fact that some people have to lie to avoid conflict and at the same time live a double life is terrible and i'm so glad my mother is not like that. when i came out to her she was fine with it, she still loves me unconditionally.

this

My mother is a hairdresser, She's around gay guys all the time. I told her I was gay and she had a borderline breakdown.

[redback3]

My dad still loves me but he hates the fact that I'm gay, but like I said before: he just wants me to have a safe/normal life. He'd wrap me in a cocoon for the rest of my life if he had the choice tbh...
