Atheist and ex-gay?

RE: Atheist and ex-gay?
I think this has nothing with you being gay, you just have a really shitty attitude.

(August 22, 2012 at 12:09 pm)sleep Wrote: a) Any gay male I've met has been sub-par, at best, with one or (usually) more of the following: really flawed personality, shitty or no job or goals in life, substance-user, or (as shallow as this is) really unattractive, among other stuff. And yes, I fit a few of those (the one I don't fit is that I'm strictly substance-free).

Huh. All gay men I've met have been quite decent guys, actually.

Quote:b) Gay males make fools of themselves in front of everybody, and pretty much make everybody hate them. They have to force their views and agenda onto everybody.

That's one hell of a generalization. I can say for sure that I've met more straight people who make fools of themselves than gay. And no gay has ever forced his or her opinion onto me.

Quote:c) Less chance of finding love, obviously. I'm a misanthrope to begin with and hate most people. Finding a gay male I get along with can be almost impossible (I'm technically in a relationship but I doubt it'll work out). Finding someone I get along with AND find attractive... mission impossible.

Bolding mine. With that attitude you won't probably succeed.

Quote:d) It just feels embarrassing to me. Most societies force men to "act like men", including liking (feminine) women. It'd be one thing if I was one of the masculine gay men, but I'm not. Most people know I'm gay as soon as they meet me, no matter how hard I try to hide it. I'm too stereotypical and I feel ashamed. I know that it's because I was brainwashed by society into thinking this way, but I don't think there's any way to unbrainwash me.

Welcome to the gender equality era. Either you can be a front figure and tell the world it's alright to be a 'feminine' man, a 'masculine' woman, a total dude or girly girl, or then you can hide in a corner and whimper. The choice is yours. BTW, talking about stereotypical gay guys, this guy is a hoot and a fantastic artist at that. You could take some notes.

Quote:I just want to be a straight atheist.

You are aware of the fact that you can't chose your sexuality, right..?

Quote:The few friends I do have are almost all straight atheists. They're the best people I've ever met.

Well, they're your friends. If they're awesome people, probably they think the same of you. A comforting thought, no?

Quote:The feminine ones who preach acceptance of feminine men are teaching men that it's okay to be weak and girly, and that someone should be there to protect them.

I hope that you don't seriously mean that. 'Girly' does not equal weak, or in need of protection. What an idiotic notion.

Quote:If I had more radical teachings of the opposite, maybe I'd have toughened up and have been more manly.

You can still toughen up. Being 'manly' has absolutely nothing to do with it.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
