Dude, you are not going to stop stressing over your sexuality any sooner than I will over mine, and I won't stop worrying about sexuality before Hell freezes over. In 2014 or so you can declare you're asexual. Then you'll have done… (wait for it)… the full monty.

In seriousness, I'm curious as to how you could have thought you were attracted to females and then decided you were mistaken. Or is it just that you really were attracted to them before but then you stopped?

Also, does this mean you've changed your mind about dating men, or will we be Celibacy Bros?

I don't understand how this can be a problem. I just...can't comprehend it... Can coming out of the closet be difficult? Yeah...but I mean...they KNOW what they're attracted to.

People tell me I act gay all the time (or at least very effeminate), and it doesn't help that I have a VERY convincing gay voice. But am I gay? HELL NO!

It's like...you're gay or you're not...like...are you bi-curious or something?

It's like...you're gay or you're not...

I disagree. Since, as I've said before, discrete sexual orientations don't exist and highly idiosyncratic patterns of attraction are to be expected, it's a judgment call whether any given person counts as gay. Consider my own case. My feelings towards men have been inconsistent enough that I've already changed my mind once from calling myself straight to calling myself bisexual. The problem is not just change over time but differences in quality: if a fellow can enjoy gay porn but has never been attracted to a real live dude (which was Tony's case the last time I checked), does he count as gay? What about the reverse? Sexual orientation isn't a useful psychological construct.

This exchange, quoted in the TV Tropes article "Stupid Sexy Flanders", seems relevant:

Ron: Look, we're all gay. It's just different degrees.
Ray: No way, man! I'm not gay.
Ron: Okay, do you like watching porn?
Ray: You know I love porn.
Ron: Do you only watch the kind that's two women?
Ray: No way, man! I like watching a man and a woman makin' love.
Ron: Okay, do you like it best if the man is tiny and flaccid?
Ray: No way, man! I like big, hard, throbbing… huh. I did not know that about myself.

(Dear mods: if you delete this for sexual explicitness, I will cry.)

Honestly, I have no interest in being with a guy, but there is some sexual attraction... It shouldn't be about sex, though... I want heart appeal, not just sex appeal. In my heart of hearts, I don't see myself being romantic with a guy. Another problem is lack of experience. Go ahead and laugh at me, but I have never experienced a vag. Obviously, I can't make an informed decision because a gay man wouldn't like vag...

Although, now that I think about, this revelation makes this topic make a little more sense. The implied course of events is: Tony has gay sex -> He reasons "Therefore, I am gay!" -> He posts on PMS announcing this happy ending to his dilemma -> He repents, but hesitates to say what it was that prompted him to make this topic in the first place.

If you're not Monty, or if you're Monty and aren't worried about staying Catholic, there are multiple denominations, some of which are very accepting of people with a variety of sexualities. The one that I know of best is the following, this is the UCC's stance: http://www.ucc.org/lgbt/ona.html

Frankly, why? Religion entails taking on all sorts of silly unfalsifiable beliefs with the kind of gravity that I reserve for mathematical truth. It's antiscientific. Now, if you think loving your neighbor, turning the other cheek, etc., are cool, well, so do I, which shows that you don't need to be Christian to think that Jesus was right about some things. I need hardly add that these kinds of values don't easily accomodate a rigid sexual morality, which is why the Westboro Baptist Church and many other less extreme parties have discarded them in favor of the much more important goal of making people who are different from themselves feel like ****.

I haven't previously heard but now vastly prefer that spelling.

Anyway, the important thing is that Christ's ministry was one of love, and isn't transgressive but life-affirming love the most exceptional kind?

2 things Kodi

1- Chill for a sec man, before you insult someone you had no intention of insulting.

2- Did you really use Westboro Baptist Church as an argument for anything about religion? I thought you were better than that... I kinda figured it was common knowledge by now that they're all lawyers operating under a religion to gain special benefits...

LP1, yes, the Westboro Baptist Church is an extreme example, but their God-hates-***s stuff lives on the same continuum as members of the Silent Majority who vaguely worry that the legalization of gay marriage constitutes official endorsement of sin. My point is just that there is a tension between homophobia and a philosophy of tolerance, which prevents either from being fully expressed under the constraints of the other.

O master of dragons, I'm guessing you're not actually the same person as our own Tony, but you are being rather like him in completely ignoring my point.

My point is that your problem is your religion, not your sexuality! You have found a way in which your religion is stupid, not your sexuality. (There's plenty that's stupid about sexuality, yes, but I've yet to see a good argument that homosexuality deserves any more scorn than heterosexual copulation when the woman isn't fertile.) You are asking yourself "Is it reasonable for me, a Christian, to be gay?" when you should be asking "Is it reasonable for me, a gay person, to be Christian?"

To use a silly analogy: when a site doesn't work with Internet Explorer, the sane thing to do is not to find an alternative site that does work but to swtich to Firefox, which is much less fiddly in the first place. There is nothing to recommend Internet Explorer, compared to the alternatives. If people weren't brought up on it—I mean, if it didn't ship with their computers, few people would use it.

Or, putting it another way, there's the old joke about the man who says "Doctor, it hurts when I do this.", prompting the doctor to reply "Then don't do that!".

I don't see religion as the primary problem--I see homophobia as the primary problem. People who are homophobic happen to justify their homophobia using religion.

The Bible doesn't dwell on the subject of homophobia. It mentions it a scant few times, most notably in Leviticus. The early Bible has some absurdities in it, as this video makes clear, which shows why basing strict religious guidelines off of this part doesn't always make sense: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R998lW2DxPs#t=00m42s

Literal interpretations of the Old Testament just aren't reasonable. That leaves the New Testament. Most importantly, Jesus himself never speaks out against homosexuality. There is maybe one or two passages that speak directly to the matter, but really, at this point, persecuting homosexuality on the basis of the Bible makes no sense.

What's really happened is that homophobes have felt the need to justify their homophobia, and have taken a few obscure references in the Bible to support their position. They then stand and point at their limited evidence, and make a major issue about it. If it was a major issue, the Bible would have made a major issue about it. It didn't.

Spock does what I was far too lazy to do (and a much better job of it I actually did). Thank yah.

Another example of this would be premarital sex. Priests are nuts about it happening, but Jesus really didn't talk about it. Getting drunk is another (Jesus and his Apostles were known to drink...a lot...)

I think you're at least partly right, Spock, insofar as I think that some sort of more basic antagonism towards homosexuality, not religion itself, is the root cause of religious assaults on homosexuality. But it also seems fair to say that once sexual mores are stuffed into a religion they take on a life of their own, and we end up with people like this dragon master who appear to be upset with homosexuality solely because it is against their religion. This is a neat contrast with Anthony's case: Anthony is obviously intuitively uncomfortable with homosexuality, but he doesn't appear to care about any of the religious implications.

To sum it all up: so far as I can see, Anthony's problem is partly a bogus theory of sexuality and partly pure dread, whereas dragonmsster's problem is religion.

The Bible is, in my opinion, unequivocal that homosexual sex acts are sinful. I don't think that justifies hate, spite, discrimination, or even anti-gay-marriage laws, and I treat my bisexual sister and my bisexual close friend as well as anybody else, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's not a sin.

I couldn't tell you why it is though, and I think that's why on a personal level it's so easy not to feel any animosity.
#052 | LinkPrime1 |
Well, Sodom and Gomorah were burned to salt for being homosexual (to the point there wasn't a single straight/non-sinner in either town). But, the point that Spock and I made is that Jesus really didn't emphasize homosexuality as a part of his ministry.

...Shouldn't be a discussion that belongs on Cotton? Does anyone even use that board anymore?

I couldn't tell you why it is though…

You're not the only one. Haidt and Hersh (2001) found that conservatives often (60% of the sample, vs. 7% of the liberals in the sample) exhibited "moral dumbfounding" ("the stubborn and puzzled maintenance of a moral judgment without supporting reasons") while discussing homosexuality.

Dumbfounding. There was an interaction between scenario type and politics, F(2, 27) = 6.83, p < .01. Conservatives showed much more dumbfounding than did liberals when discussing homosexual issues, but there was little difference on the masturbation or incest scenarios.

Conservatives often directly confessed their inability to justify their immediate condemnation of homosexuality. As was found by Haidt et al. (1999), participants frequently inserted "I don't know" into long sentences in which they appeared to be searching around, while speaking, for a justification. For example, when asked to explain her condemnation of the gay anal-sex scenario, one conservative said, "I don't know, um [long pause], I guess, I don't know, I just don't really believe in premarital sex anyway, but, and obviously they're not married so…"

Now I'd say, if you can't justify why something should be objected to, perhaps your intuition that it should be objected to is wrong.

Haidt, J., & Hersh, M. A. (2001). Sexual morality: The cultures and emotions of conservatives and liberals. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 31, 191–221. doi:10.1111/j.1559-1816.2001.tb02489.x

Don't wanna stop doing what's doing you no good? Fine, I'll be sarcastic then. *ahem*

So what you're saying is that you're well aware that the Bible was written by an invisible man living in the sky; you're just not sure which websites are likewise divinely inspired. That is indeed a problem. This Web 2.0 nonsense sure makes keeping track of miracles difficult. I would recommend Wikipedia except I've been given to understand that although some of its contributors are divinely inspired, there are just as many whose editing is guided by the Old Boy. (Hence the term "rouge admins". What, you thought it was a misspelling?) Fortunately, there is a God-fearing alternative:

I mean, honestly, the New Testament doesn't have many great things to say about heterosexual sex either. What with the imminence of the coming of the kingdom and all. So really, we should be taking putting Cassian command to ceaseless prayer and abstinence into practice.

Not saying everyone needs to join the monastery or throw the baby out with the bathwater (neither was Cassian), but when reading a book about love, I think it's safe to push aside all the language about whom you should hate and direct your violence toward.

Anyway, as for particular sources about which groups you should trust in integrating a Christian faith with LGBTality, I think there was a recent, much lauded documentary on the particularly toxic Christian ex-gay movement and how many people it drives to suicide and such ("too many" is the correct answer for values greater >1, which they are). But I can't seem to find it. Luckily, I did find this blog that covers this sort of thing with a link to the trailer for a forthcoming thing:
http://www.exgaywatch.com/wp/tag/documentary/

So don't go anywhere near that.

Among Roman Catholics, people like to host dignity masses around the basic theme of tolerance. If there's one in your area, you should check it out (even if you're not Catholic, I'm sure people there would love to point you in a positive direction).

Here's a website with rainbows about how you don't need to feel that way because being gay is okay with Jesus:
http://christiangays.com/education.shtml

For comparison's sake, and as an object lesson that the most restrictive theological viewpoint isn't necessarily the best one, here is the wikipedia page on a Christian sect that argued that Jesus wasn't okay with heterosexual sex either:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakers
Note that that sect doesn't exist anymore.

Anyway, have you looked into prayer/support groups as align with your personal preference? Maybe checked out some message boards on websites that specialize in this sort of discussion?

The fact that I'm a Christian isn't the worst part. It's all the drama and other crap that I've had to deal with the past three months.

If you believe in Jesus Christ, and are 100% proud of it, put this as your sig.

Oh. Well, then I recommend you start periodically checking in with George Takei.

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

Incidentally, I believe I read that a big part of the Shakers disappearing is that the government quit letting religious institutions adopt children, or something along those lines.

But I'm actually somewhat of a fan of the Shakers, mostly because of their music. I've even felt sorry for them to the point where if I planned on being celibate my whole life, I might just take up their way of life so that a culture wouldn't totally die out.

And by crap I meant the drama and painful emotions I've had to deal with.

Hey according to this rule (http://xkcd.com/314/) dating 16 while you are 18 is perfectly fine. And according to NY state law, it's completely legal. (Don't know the laws in other states.)

In fact, NY state law tracks perfectly with the rule, since a 17 year old can date up to 21 and still be legal.
