My sexuality is scaring me

[hank]

I live in Houston, there are pride festivals here, gay clubs, our mayor is gay. I dont ever experience intolerance its quite normal to see gay people kissing. In little inbred Towns you will get that, but in those places they hate everyone

[hank]

Let me say this, I understand why lgbt have issues with conservative, rightwing, evangelical, haters, I have a problem with them too. I have a problem with what the boyscouts did. But just because a hotheaded closet case claims to speak for me doesn't mean he does. People need to understand that. I know many conservative Christians that are for marriage rights, apposed to hatred, infact out of tne dozens I know only one is a gay hater, I think heay actually be.

I never heard of ex-gay, thank God for that, until I accepted myself.

I am quite confused. Lost when I thought I would find my way. I have nothing against lgbt organization, it seems they do against me???

There are plenty of conservative gay Republicans and there are alot of conservative religious gays as well.

[hank]

I just don't understand why I cant be bi-gay or whatever and catholic conservative without ridicule.

Maybe I sm looking in the wrong places, I kindof get mocked for that. But I don't want to think of it that way.

I am not republican by the way

I am a gay far left liberal ...I dont' understand why I can't be who I am without ridicule either...but I accept the fact that I have no power over what other people think or say nor do I wish to...and I furthermore have long since realized I would rather have the people who ridicule me continue to do so because if they start to accept me I would be concerned. mile:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I know there are people like me, there has to be, but just like the wacky funny talking self ordained "ministers" represent Christians, the nuts represent lgbt. Its all about which horn is the loudest.

I just wanted to find the people like me

I'm sorry, I can't believe you. I just can't. You must be willfully turning a blind eye to something you don't want to accept.

You don't recall Rick Perry saying all gay and lesbian vets should leave Texas or his ad attacking gays in the military as an assault on Christianity?

You don't recall Proposition 2? (IIRC, Houston was about 50% on it, but then Houston is cosmopolitan with many residents who are not actually Texans, but with very few exceptions the vast majority of voters in the rest of the state supported it because of their Christian beliefs.)

Even in California Prop 8 was passed because of Christianity (which I include Mormons as). I'd say 99% of ALL commercials that promoted prop 8 said God, Jesus, and/or the Bible in it at least once, and so did the reasons people gave for voting for it. Nearly every single official Christian organization (including Catholic) that took a stand on it was for it as well (the only one I recall that was opposed is well known for its vocal liberal positions) whereas only half the Jewish ones did and I can't recall any groups for it that were not religious. I can't believe it was any different in Texas (where the prop was much more enthusiastically accepted by the voters of the state than in California).

I can easily point to much worse, including by Catholics in the USA (as well as abroad), but that's beside the point and I'm sure you'll just promptly forget about it anyway, and I'm not going to waste my time arguing on what color the sky is. The point is you have no excuse to say that the vast majority of Christians are all loving, accepting, and tolerant of gays. That such Christians exist, yes, but that such are the norm, no.

O am very new to all of this, I have only been out for a few months. It is hard, I am not flamboyant, I am not sassy, I hate fasion, and musical theater. Straight people don't know what to think. bisexual guys can't be manly men, it is so very confusing. I don't know what to do

One last time, you're likely to find gay conservatives in the Pink Pistols. Here's more about the chapter in Houston:
