Ok so if you are queer and your "friends" are homophobes, I might second guess if they really are my friends if I were you. If you don't think that it's safe to come out DON'T! It is amazing to be proud, it really is, but your safety always comes first.

Thank you

Yeah no problem, bro! Trust me I know that feel. My extended family still thinks I'm straight because of that

Are your "friends" Catholic or worship any other form of Christianity?

Kind of.

Really, you think that? If someone dislikes a person who claims to be queer, they are not homophobes. Words mean something, mate.

Really, are you jumping to conclusions? That's not what I mean. I'm saying that if it is in any way dangerous for someone to come out to their friends because they are homophobic and wouldn't be kind, to be safe. Kindness means something, mate.

You did not mention that, in the comment.

Well I also didn't mention what you said

What?

I never said that someone is a homophobe just because they don't like one queer person.

Yes, you did...That is exactly what you said.

"Ok so if you are queer and your "friends" are homophobes, I might second guess if they really are my friends if I were you. If you don't think that it's safe to come out DON'T! It is amazing to be proud, it really is, but your safety always comes first."

This was your response to "my friends said gay is bad."

Do I really need to break this down for you even though you will just keep fighting against me? Whatever. At least I'm not giving in.

Homophobia is when someone doesn't mind their own damn and doesn't like someone BECAUSE they are queer or any LGBTQ+ .

Not liking someone who is queer and not liking someone BECAUSE they're queer are two completely different things.

I never said that someone is a homophobe because they don't like a queer person. I said a someone is a homophobe because they don't like someone because they are queer.

All I'm trying to do is keep a fellow queerling safe. If you don't approve of that, get the f**k out of here.

I now agree with all of the above...

However, your last line doesn't make sense. How is the "fellow queerling" in danger?

If they were to come out to a homophobe, they could be hurt by them emotionally and maybe even physically which would not be good

Telling him that isn't "protection."

There are ways to tell people that being gay (or queer) is wrong, without blinding them from the truth.

Pirate is right it could be dangerous.
My cousin was beat down after telling his friends that he was gay and he was hospitalized because in your opinion he was "wrong" oh hell no. (and many others feel the same as you)

Well, imagine having black hair and your "friends" said "black hair is bad". Would you dye your hair?

I have hidden myself for a long time and it's not an easy thing to do. It takes a toll on your mental health and it's just plain exhausting. I know sometimes you don't really have a choice and being different from most other people can be really hard as well. But for me it was the best decision ever.

ARE YOU HARASSING AGAIN?!

Tre, placing my argument against his or hers is not harassment...I did not realize this stream was so deprived...

No, I'm saying it is difficult to hide. You can change your clothes or hair or whatever to blend in and look how other people want you to look. But I never said you can change what you are on the inside. You can, however, change what you tell people. If it is dangerous to tell people you are gay you should probably keep it a secret and act like you're straight - even though it is very difficult and long term not good for your mental health. All I said was that while it is possible to hide your sexuality or gender you still shouldn't if you can avoid it. But, of course, I was only speaking from my experience and none of this is absolute because everyone is different.

Yes, you should. But that does not make it right. Everyone is different, but everyone has a designated gender (male or female).

If you really believe there are only male and female, what are you doing in this stream? And I don't think I even want to know what you mean by "designated gender".

#1 Because I am training myself to defend my beliefs.
#2 Designated by all means. When you are being formed in your mother's womb, your genetic code forms the "designated gender": This is either a pair of xx or xy chromosomes.

Oh f**k! what a sad life you must have to have to "train" how you defend your beliefs

Get new friends. There’s a whole LGBTQ+ community out there! If your “friends” have a problem with you being queer, then just leave.

Step 1: Abandon those “friends” of yours
Step 2: Find friends that do support LBTQ+
Step 3: Tell them

Step#1 Abandone those friends because they don't agree with me
Step#2 Find friends who will never challenge my beliefs
Step#3 Tell them and force upon them the weight of my decision...

Really? Those people you are telling him or her to find, you call friends? I call those people servants....
