Coming Out - My Opinion

[arsenal]

What do you mean by "We started out straight" ?

I think he is saying that humanity started out straight and now it is starting to have gay people. Don't think that is exactly true. Pretty sure there have been gay people for a very long time.

Oh i see. If that's the case, he is indeed wrong. There have been gay people for a very long time (Probably since the beginning of humanity) The only difference, is that people are a lot more open about it now. Its also been proven that over 1000 species of animals have homosexual members.

I mean the first few humans weren't gay, or else we wouldn't be here cx + being gay wasn't accepted the way it is now, so I guess I never really realized there could've been a high population of gays back in the day.

Fun fact to this. According to a researchers Bruce Bagemihl in his published findings in Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, bats have the highest rate of homosexuality in mammals.

Gotta love these little guys

In Ancient Rome being gay was actually held up as a positive trait, as you were showing ultimate devotion to a fellow Roman man.

Hey Everyone :3

So you might be aware that there have been a lot of threads of mods (particularly) coming out.
I have a very strong opinion on gay rights, coming out and all stuff regarding homosexuality, this thread is based of MY experiences.
I am not here to bash anyone and there decisions, it may seem that way but that is not my aim of this thread.
Here's my opinion regarding some elements of "coming out"...
​

1. You do not NEED to come out. People feel obligated to tell everyone there sexuality these days, you are the only person who needs to accept you. No one else needs to accept you for who you are. You can argue against that, but as I've stated, this is just my opinion. If someone asks you if your gay/bisexual then you can tell them, but making threads and blogs on the internet or however you want to "come out" will just urge some homophobic people/haters to hate or accuse you of "attention seeking", whether you want to tolerate that is up to you. My point is don't obligated to come out, if your not comfortable with doing it don't do it, because it's just going to cause more emotional distress.​
2. Do it when YOU ARE ready. Not when others are doing, coming out isn't a trend and it shouldn't be used as a source of attention (I know people who have done this), it does look rather suspicious that 3/4 people have decided to write threads on "coming out" but maybe 1 person starts it, then another person is influenced, and another. And that's great, because the good thing about "coming out" is now that you have got it all out there, there's no turning back, you just have to face forward and also face the fact that you have made the decision to accept yourself.​
3. I've always said this to myself, It's my way of dealing with things although it may not be everyone cup of tea. Why should gay/bisexual people come out? Straight people don't announce that they are straight? Being gay is as normal as being straight, we wish that in society, but society make it to be a big deal or different/not the ordinary. That's why people feel the need to announce there sexuality whether it's gay or bi.​

Accepting yourself is a really challenging thing to do, everyone can do it, they just have to find the right time and find themselves and once they start accepting themselves for who they are life becomes so much easier!

Congratulations to everyone who is now comfortable with themselves! It's really is nice to see more positive stories in the air, it's one more step forward!

And I'm sorry for my bad explanation and english, words aren't really my thing....​

I agree. #3 really stood out to me though.

If my post wasn't breaking the rules, why was it removed then?

It was terribly offensive.
