Now, now, lets not jump to conclusions. His stating that he’s attracted to men but not gay is clearly just his way of that coming out as a straight transwoman.
Perhaps, but honestly, I’m not gatekeeping. I’m not going to say he’s wrong, or broken, or mistaken, or confused. He believes he’s not gay, it’s not my job to tell him what he “really” is based my superior understanding of the world. If someday he decides that the word gay applies to him, I’ll support that too.
Right. A lot of people – even gay people – seem to have a hard time understanding that homosexuals are really just ordinary people who happen to be attracted to the same sex.
It’s a Mormon work-around.
I saw a documentary on it once, it was hysterical….it was about three “same sex attracted” but totally not gay guys that were married to women and they all did things together like going out to dinner and ogling the waiters, then towards the end the guys decided they were going to have a sleepover party and the wives objected because “the last time they did that things got out of hand” but the guys decided to do it anyway. I’m sure they repented afterwards.
This is the part I don’t get; you’ve got a get out of hell free card for sinning, so why not just sin, and then repent? It just feels like that would be a lot less stress.
And all their kids had red hair, just like the mailman. Crazy coincidence. I always felt sorry for that mailman, because he looked exhausted all the time.
Well, that’s the joy of Protestantism! None of those annoying middle men between you&God. Just repent in the privacy of your own home or car or wherever and you’re good!
Just try not to die while in the middle of actually sinning.
I have great faith in the ability of people of faith to lie to themselves.
When I was a teen, we were told that gay bars and bathhouses were the fundamental institutions of gay life. I objected that, by that same standard, brothels and pickup bars were the fundamental institutions of straight life. Really, of course, grocery stores are more fundamental to both.
