They met their gays
Last updated on September 10th, 2024 at 03:09 pm
There’s a conversation around recent dates that many of us are familiar with: we start seeing someone new and go on a few good or even great dates. We’re thinking about whether this could be something solemn, so we begin laying out the situation for our closest friends and loved ones. We illustrate our impressions so far, the signals this person is giving off, and how we’re interpreting them, and offer everything up for our friends to weigh in on whether this person is a good fit or not. They might question their compatibility, why they’re unpartnered, how recently they got out of their last relationship, and their astrological sign — and they might also ask this question: “Do you ponder they could be the one?”
How do we start to know how to answer that — or should we answer it at all? Here’s my take.
Unfortunately, you can’t contain proof of “the one” — and that’s a good thing
There’s an notion that percolates throughout various parts of our society — it takes the form of “love at first sight,” the thought that when you come across the right person you’ll R
Coming Out in the 80s: A Look Back at LGBTQ Life
As a GenXer, we often look support on the 80s culture with this loving nostalgia, the rose colored glasses syndrome. We have this idea of how fantastic it was because we remember rocking out to our favorite songs with our friends on the bus ride home, heading to the mall (if you were lucky enough to live near one), weekend movies, and the enormity that was 80s cartoons.Those memories well up in our mind and often gloss over that it was also a decade of struggle and turmoil.
When the 1980s started, LGBTQ rights was not a phrase that was tossed around, hell you would be hard pressed to even hear homosexuality talked about in more than hush whispers filled with disgust and disdain. We were in the trenches, fighting for the rights we had no clue we would earn but prayed for daily. Join me today as we set the way back marching to 1980 and discuss Coming out in the 80s: A Look Back at LGBTQ Life.

How can being gay be wrong if you've always felt attracted to the same sex, you're a devoted Christian, and it wasn't something you chose?
I've always struggled to perceive this... I have a 19 year old son that I recently start out was gay. When I found out about the pain and self condemnation he was putting himself through for years, it killed me inside! He has very much struggled with this life himself and feels ashamed. He is a conservative, devoted Christian. So the fact that he didn't choose this and can't help but feel the way he does... How can him being attracted to other men be wrong? I do perceive that some may elect to be with the same sex but he didn't choose this, in fact he's been praying about it and fighting it but since he can remember he's always felt the same. So if his feeling are coming from a truthful place, and he finds love with another gentleman, how can that be wrong? Isn't God Love? Thank you for taking the time to interpret and answer my scrutinize.Clarify •Share•Report• Asked July 06 2017 • Anonymous
