Gay Chat V11 - Were you expecting something funny? - General

just took a nap so i could avoid a few people until they went to bed (don't read into this seriously), and now we have snoooooow. About 5 inches, shame i missed it actually falling because it had to be a hell of a snow smiting.

Did anyone else here get raised Christian? I had some bad luck with friends when I was younger, and when combined with my family making me feel like some disgusting sinner just because of how I am, my self-esteem is just shit. Only one person in my family knows, and after I told him he spent the next hour trying to "save" me. He only succeeded in making me feel like there was even more wrong with me than I thought. What do I do?

What do I do?[/QUOTE] Roman Catholic born and raised until i was 13. Even served as an altar server and my first job was as a [URL="http://puu.sh/67JkU.png"]Church Sextant[/URL] . Went to catholic school until highschool, the school never condemned homosexuality (they never mentioned it in the first place however). In all legitimacy roman catholics get a lot of flak for various reasons, but as of late they seem to be the more modern ones as most roman catholic churches actually welcome gay congregations here. For your situation though, remember that Christ himself had never at any point taught against homosexuality, that was the old testament which more or less just serves as an introduction to the new testament, which is what Christians consider their holy book. So as a christian, homosexuality is in a grey area and not technically a sin. This may change from religion to religion, but for roman Catholicism what i said applies. Any anti homosexual teachings come out of the old testament and even then are almost always incredibly vague to the point where its just individual interpretation.

Ho' shit. Apparently using the clear Itemducts in Minecraft with a very active build will fuck up your FPS. [editline]3rd January 2014[/editline] At least I'm content with what I've done. [t]http://puu.sh/67LsZ.png[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/67Lvc.png[/t]

[QUOTE=Tark;43398743]Your experience is unfortunately the same as mine, the only person who knows I'm (as she likes to put it) "confused and unsure" is my mom who thinks it's just a phase and that I was and am now just 16, or 17, or 18, and that I really haven't and still don't know what my sexuality is. I have absolutely no intention of telling my dad ever, he's a minister and it'd just add to the shit he's had to deal with. My current plan is to completely bottle it up and not talk about it anymore until I'm somewhere very far away when I can actually start opening up about it.[/QUOTE] I've been bottling it up a while, probably not as long as most but I even abstained from telling anyone over the internet until just recently. I've been really afraid about it, like something really bad would happen if anyone knew. Rationally I know that's not true which makes it even worse considering I hold credence to such irrational thoughts. I hate it.

Which sounds weird considering all the stuff that they got up to in there but they use it as a basis for their beliefs about this stuff. [I]I'm[/I] even homophobic to a point, but I try really hard not to be. I know I've gotten better, but telling my brother happened less than a week ago, and I've just felt like crap ever since. I don't know how to move on. Anyway, I don't want to muck up the thread anymore. Thanks for responding.

You aren't, it doesn't hurt to ask for advice.

I can't bring my self to talk with friends much anymore on steam. I feel like all I do is annoy them or waste they're time when I do try. Mainly because all I can think of saying is Hello and How are you? I just can't think of anything better to say or ask.

Over time, they'll start to say hello to you first.

I used to actually avoid talking to people at one point, since I figured if they wanted to talk to me, they'd say hi. But that shouldn't stop you if you want to say hi to someone. Saying hi can do a lot for some people.

What do I do?[/QUOTE] I was kinda worried about coming out to my mom. She's a very devout Christian, except she actually knows what following god means, rather than focusing on dumb little stuff. It's awkward for her, but she's trying her best to accept it. I can tell she wants me to be straight, though not in a "you are a sinner" way. My brothers didn't care. My dad is super chill with it. When I came out he asked if I already knew that my sort-of rich Aunt was a lesbian, then I had an "oh wow, that explains a lot" moment. My mother is the most religious of us all, and even my father get's annoyed sometimes when she tries to push beliefs too much.

My family is Roman Catholic and they're fine with it. Quite liberal people though and most of my siblings are very much atheists. Although it's obviously a little hard for my parents to comprehend. Where any of my siblings get into relationships and are asked about them every five seconds, when I was in a relationship and they knew not a word was spoken. Whilst Roman Catholicism generally can be pretty accepting in the community, the official stance is still bad. Which is why religious concepts are far better than specific teachings. If you look at the marriage ceremony in the Catholic Church and how beautiful the view of love is and then consider that the official view is that if you're gay you are incapable of the same level of love it all gets yuck very quick. Gar, go look at Savage Love and Dan Savage, he was brought up in a religious household (some lgbt people don't like him for various reasons though). There are a couple of videos that touch on strong religious views in families that he does.

I'm usually just on steam and browsing and however talks to me i'll talk to.

I just can't think of anything better to say or ask.[/QUOTE] I have social anxiety that stops me being able to start a conversation with anyone. If they say Hi first, it's sorted, and I converse perfectly fine, and if the greetings are totally skipped which happens with some of my friends who talk to me it goes pretty normally too. If I try to say Hi first, my mind goes "BUT WHAT IF THEY HATE YOU OH JEEZ THEY MIGHT BE ANNOYED DON'T DO IT DON'T DO IT" and every negative scenario comes to mind and stops me. Though I am working to beat it and I've started trying to say hi to people who talk to me regularly to overcome it. It's really confusing to explain it all and hurts my brain to comprehend but in short, it's a twat. :v:

I've been talking it up with some people here and so far all but Heavy will talk back to me. Jeez, Heavy, quit playing CnC so much.

Heavy is a slut for conversation everyone spam him

Why does Facepunch look like it only just barely loaded the page for me?

Because women get less bandwidth than men.

I just walked through my living room, and my dad is just sitting behind his PC casually searching for porn on some torrent website. Its not that i care about that, but i think i should be kinda worried about that he din't notice me walking by.

Why a torrent site? Is porn blocked where you guys are?

I think some ISPs are trying to block porn on here but it could just be Cameron talking out of his arse as usual.

They did block porn sites as well as rape support sites and sexual education services.

[QUOTE=HeavyGuy;43401426]I think some ISPs are trying to block porn on here but it could just be Cameron talking out of his arse as usual.[/QUOTE] I find it hypocritical that him talking out his ass sounds like some bizarre pornography anyway.
