US Official LGBT Armory Thread
- Thread starter bigmoran
- Start date
I don't think it's divisive, rather the opposite. It's showing LGBT people in the 19s community that they aren't alone. Not everyone lives in the most accepting countries, this thread may be a way for some people to fully express themselves.
As a 20 year old, it's pretty sad but this is the first time I've come out publicly. The country I live in means it's hard for me to be out. So if it weren't for this thread, I probably wouldn't have taken that first small step.
Sorry for rant, ya'll probably don't care
I have the same view of this thread. I see it as a positive thing.
I've never talked to you before (from what I recall), but you sound like a really nice person. A post as simple as yours almost put tears in my eyes. I love seeing positive things happen in people's lives that happen in part because of the twinking community. I mean I met the woman I plan on spending the rest of my life with from twinking. You rock!

Even though I don't know the majority of the people on these forums, this community is like a family. I'll admit, the amount of support I got from everyone got me a bit emotional, I just hope that one day I can get the same amount of support from the country I live in (Turkey).
Progress is slow, but maybe one day I can live as myself without fear. So, thank you, to everyone for reminding me that these forums are much more than just a place to talk about WoW.

He posted a derogatory word that exists to disparage an entire society of people in the very thread created to give them a place to find support and others like them?
What? Am I reading an entirely different post than you?

Oh yes, I see now.
Are you even in the LGTBA community? If you have a problem with a post, report it. Don't ruin Morans thread.
Edit: Apparently I have the language filter on. Statement still stands.

Separation of church (or mosque, in this case) and state is key to protecting the rights of all citizens.
The Conservative party in Canada has just recently caught up with the times and ditched a decades long stance on the "traditional definition of marriage" for an all inclusive one.

Mind you, this is a party that has prominent members who tout creationism, others that are publicly homophobic, anti-immigration, among many other typically hard right-winged and half-witted ideologies. But on a practical level, I think they've realized that they will not be elected anytime soon while pushing such an antiquated way of thinking.
Dig the thread! Good stuff.

I don't think resorting to these ad hominem attacks really do either side any justice. Perhaps everyone should take a step back from their computers and put themselves in each other's shoes. If you disagree with someone's opinion, maybe you should take that time to enlighten their views. Teach them. Help them understand where they went wrong. Give them an example of a view from the other side. Simply restricting someone's opinion and then just labeling them as "ignorant" doesn't really solve any problems. In fact, I would argue it makes it worse. I can respect Delayed's view, as I assume he is a youngster from the ol' US of A, where being gay is completely fine in parts of the country, as it should be. I assume that's why he doesn't see the importance of "coming out" for those who have lived the majority of their lives keeping their sexuality a secret. I do think it was the wrong thread to express this kind of view, but I also don't think it was handled as well as it should have been. It's not as though he directly insulted people for being gay. Hopefully one day being gay won't be that big of a deal, as everyone has their own biology, their own preferences, etc. But until then, I can see why this thread can be relevant to some members of this community.
Just remember folks, POSITIVE discussion can be healthy. We're all on our own journeys through life, and everyone is going to face their own struggles. It's part of the experience. I, as well as many others, see a great deal of importance in the topic of equality. However, it really saddens me when I see other's take the easy road out, and don't help others to see the flaws in their limited scope of reality. Everyone is limited. No one can experience everything. Take the time to help others understand. Any-who, just my 2c.
Congratulations to all of those who have come out. I'm sure it feels liberating, and I'm glad this community was able to assist you in your journey through life. It's helped me before, and I'm glad to see it continuing to help others.
