Teen suicide
#33
RE: Teen suicide
Being a gay man who was raised Catholic, to some degree I can understand why some gay teens are pushed to this. Personally it was never an issue for me, the religious teaching on homosexuality kinda whooshed over my head. My secular attitude made it possible, in my mind at least, to believe in the religion while still being gay. It's not like that for everyone though, there are some truly horrible parents out there who make it so difficult for their kids, and I revile it.

Also let me clear something up, the only "choice" there is with homosexuality is to be open and honest about it. These men who claim they have found God and are now "ex-gay" are thespians who think we are stupid. Ok, maybe occasionally it's possible for your sexuality to change over a long time, but for most people this never happens and these men are lying.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
