Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

Bleh, bicuriosity sucks. For sure I know I like guys as a fantasy, have no problem reading gay erotica, and I like to think I'd not pass up the opertunity to try if it did come up, but it's all still uncertain. Doesn't help I'm mostly a virgin at 21, so shy about sex in general.

I hid the gay so well that everyone thinks I'm asexual.

Also, totally random question from the article on the Russian marriage before to trans individuals here.

How willing would you be to take advantage of an abuse of loopholes where in one nation you had a straight marriage before moving elsewhere to change legal gender and then get properly married?

Say for example in Nation A you're recognised as say male and have a straight marriage, then move to nation B where you can be recognised as female with little issue, then have your marriage changed to a lesbian one?

Yeah, if the conditions are very right, I could be into a guy sexually, but it would only be sexually (I think I'm strictly heteroromantic), and I'm not sure if I could actually do that without an emotional attachment.

So the Trans Violence Tracking Portal issued an advisory against transactivist Parker Marie Molloy.

I have to wonder how many cosigners just disagree with her views, seeing how she was one of the most vocal against RuPaul earlier this year.

I'm pretty similar I think.

Except I can only really look at hot guys. Not sure I'd be comfortable being touched by one.

I'm fairly secure in what I want and don't want to do with either sex.

Mostly everything. Mostly.

@Dark: I feel your pain. I never really was able to confirm my bisexuality until I was 19 - before then it hadn't even really occurred to me. And frankly, even now I'm not wholly sure.

Bisexuality is hard to identify because you really don't have a frame of reference - after all, it's difficult to know what its like to not be into something if you're into everything. Myself, I narrowed it down as much as I could with porn(Being aroused by a man is pretty damnign evidence for sexuality at least; being romantically inclined is a different story), and going out to clubs to try and pick up a guy. I never... quite succeeded(I almost got a date with a guy, but I made the mistake of not actually having plans the first time I asked him out, and when he agreed to give me a bit to make plans I think I scared him off by being really, reaaaally persistent about trying to get a hold of him again...), I regardless did have a good time and could definitely see myself with some of the guys there. And then shortly after I met my current boyfriend which pretty much sinched the issue.

My point is, it's difficult to really be certain. At the end of the day, the biggest question to ask yourself is, do you think you're a bisexual? Do you feel like one? IF so, then congrats! You're a bisexual. Perhaps you'll be proven wrong in the future, and that's okay. Sexuality is a tricky duck, so nobody can blame you for not getting it right the first time around.

So today we had a discussion in one of my classes about what everyone thought about gay marriage and adoption. About half the class said that gay marriage is a sin. Luckily, we're continuing this conversation tomorrow; can't wait to tell them that the same part of the Bible that forbids gay sex also forbids tattoos, piercings, and shirts with mixed cloths.

Yeah...

I'd be completely fine with the whole "gay marriage is a sin" thing if a) people who believe that don't also believe that this means gay people are evil, or need to be "cured" or b) it wasn't completely, blatantly made up.

Also certain kinds of hair cuts and throwing something made of the skins pigs.

I think Levitcus is a little out of date, also I believe that it won't matter in the long run. They'll believe what they want to, good luck though.

Also Thinking of a woman you're not married to sexually is a sin. It's as bad as committing adultery actually.

@SH: Oh yeah, I should also mention that gay sex is equivalent to eating bacon. I imagine both in sin level and pleasure levels.tongue

Also, if a man rapes a woman, she's essentially his property.

I'm just saying, the Bible is fucked up. If you're Christian, for the love of your god, do not take it literally.

Most of the dumb stuff is in Leviticus and Genesis.

Leviticus is for priests. Paul is writing about how he thinks Christians should distinguish themselves from everyone else, and at one point even says just before talking about homosexual acts, "the Lord didn't give me anything on this subject, but I think He'll agree with me."

Homosexuality as an identity originated in the 19th or 20th centuries. Paul is probably calling out the Roman practice of adult men keeping a boy for sexual acts the boy doesn't have a say in.

Ezekiel calls out "the sin of Sodom" as not caring for the poor and widows.

There are strong arguments for David and Jonathan being married (not just "loved like a woman"), and the Centurion's servant that Jesus heals from a distance appears to be as dear to him as a lover.
