"You Can't Claim To Be Gay Unless You're 30 Years Old And STILL GAY." |
|
That's what my father told me today. I'm 19.
My mother told me he also still tells her in secret that he thinks it's a "phase" I'm going through, since I don't "really act like a gay guy."
Actually it was a bit more elaborate.
He said that you can't claim to be Gay™® until you're in your 30s and have been living openly as a Gay Man™® or Lesbian™® since your early 20s.
Now...how he came to this perfect Gay Equation™®...I'll never know...
This was a shocker coming from my father, who is not only transgendered and beginning to live his life as the female he apparently always was...but he's had gay friends since forever and I'm named after my parents best mutual gay male friend...
Either way, fuck that shit, I'm gay, Gay, GAY!!!

16. I placed a couple of Revolutionary Acts on another forum |

They were a bigger hit there than here.

He also went on to tell me "When you're 30, you'll be hornier than you've ever been in your whole life!"
I was like..."ew...didn't need to hear that from...you..."

23. so he's thinking that you'll get hornier and that |
|
will somehow make you straight? :wtf: I can't of a single one of my friends who "changed their mind about" being gay. That's just batshit crazy, and something I'd expect to hear from a ultra-straight parent in total denial.

20. It rather sounds to me as though your dad is in denial about your |
|
sexuality. But this doesn't make any sense, since you told us that he is transgendered! If he were heterosexual, I could understand it much better...but he isn't...Go figure...
You are gay, you have always been gay, and you'll be gay all your life! It is so important to know who in hell you are; and you DO! I think you'll have a much happier, healthier life knowing who you are. And good for you!

22. Your dad needs Homocil or Gleemonex by Roritor Pharmaceuticals |
|
Betty Bowers has a good site on this for your dad. "How to tell if your toddler is gay".
At least your parents have a perfect gay equation. Mine used the WASP family, let's not talk proceedure.

It is also apparently something your parents are experiencing. Oh well, refusal to accept facts does not change them. :shrug:

26. Ah, the classic "phase" |
|
And when exactly does this "phase" end? How long does it last?
Rubbish. And I'm shocked that your father doesn't know any better.
There are lots more high school kids coming out as gay today. And that is wonderful news. They know who they are and are helping to educate their peers about gay and lesbian folks and homosexuality in general.
You are gay. It's not a phase. It's a intrinsic, important part of who you are. :-)

do care - but are in denial. I am so sorry for this juncture in history for all people who are being scapegoated.

... we're destroying marriage, familys,... the entire damned society.
Why don't we all make covenant with your lord and saviors... then you'll like the opposite sex & spew the same scripted bull-shit preprogrammed into the 'real Americans.'

Does "gay" refer more to community than to individual? I mean suppose you have someone who for all outward appearances is heterosexual except for in the bedroom where they prefer homosexual sex. Suppose this person went so far as to disdain homosexuals publicly. They would definitely be homosexual but would that person be considered "gay" or part of the "gay" community?

find strength in yourself... the "phase" thing is that horrible thing people utter out of denial (i've heard it before too)...
take care, take strength, know yourself... be you & you'll get through :)
