'Homosexuality' - safer in the closet, or out?

General
1

I have noticed from reviews in my own country that LGBTQ aficionados take opposition to homosexuality extremely badly. I noticed someone a bit ‘sensitive’ on here, too, a passive-aggressive nature just waiting to explode.

Just one…little…push. Anything, anywhere, can push them? Everything a near bump into the ‘gay pool’.

The world has become a gargantuan monument to Pricilla Queen of the Desert.

People I never would have guessed are playing for the women’s league!

Has anyone noticed that ‘gay’ people are really tetchy and almost to a dangerously undangerous level?

What would be the kind action to take, instead of laughing when they tumble out the closet?

(Sodom and Gomorrah*).

I just don’t see how testosterone could be attractive to testosterone - like two magnets which should repel against each other.

I just find it silly. Should I keep a straight face, instead?

Outdated, hateful views.

You think that effeminacy is objective, somehow natural? :grimacing:

But what of all the diseases? We can’t judge people, personally, yet surely some ways of life only point to what is disordered.

I am not putting out that we should hate individuals but rather quite literally hate the subject. We can still exact politeness. If we don’t hate the subject, then men are not thinking and speaking and acting like men and women have been given a bad example. And trolls used over and over by ‘bad society’ (*) without having undergone counselling at some point get to continue haunting the halls and corridors of online surfing, unrestricted.

The situation is rampant. Because we are in the contemporary world doesn’t mean we have to be accepting of actions which are wrong, only retain an attitude of unjudgmentalism towards individuals. Every era and age in history was the newest one. Some things are timeless. And that does not include ugliness (not talking about looks).

I’m not quite sure what you are asking exactly, but I will say the fallowing.

I know individuals who have same-sex attractions and you would never know it. They are not hiding it. They just are not making it their sole identity if that makes sense.

Then there are many who have made it their religion. They are part of a cult. A cult that reacts very irrationally if anyone dares not to adhere to the tenets of their beliefs. And they claim that are a victim of hate when any individual does not affirm them in their belief.

There was a book written in the 70’s (I believe it was) that is out of print now. You can find used copies on eBay, but they are quite pricey. In this book, the author lays out how to make homosexuality accepted as the a norm in society. One of the strategies that he advised was to sanitize gay representation in entertainment. It is why often the most saint like individuals in movies and in television shows are representations of the LGBTQA.i.+ religion.

Another tactic is to use empathy towards a character, which tends to work on female audiences, as women tend to be nurturers by nature (#notall). They will portray a plotline of good vs. evil, and the good in the scenario is portrayed as a member of this religion and the bad guy is truly a jerk (and if they really want to push a narrative, sometimes even a Christian). The spell wouldn’t work if they made both characters as bad nor would it work if you made both good and they just disagree.

So sanitize and victimize. Repeat this storyline over and over again until it become familiar and normalized.

We are called to treat every individual with respect and human dignity. Mocking and shaming is not the same thing as hate though some interpret it as such.

If someone is struggling with same-sex attraction, keeping it in the closet is not always the best thing. Seeking support from someone you trust and who shares [y]our Biblical understanding of God’s plan for human nature, oriented towards the good, the true, and the beautiful, and not the inversion of it.

I don’t know if this answers your question[s], but I hope this helps.

Excellent answer. Respect the individual, but not the subject. Find a way to help them understand their situation better.

It’s pretty clear from the language you use that you cannot differentiate the individual from the behavior. Your heart is full of hate. Based on those DMs you sent the other guy and how vivid that fantasy seems to be for you, it might be self hate. You don’t have to suffer in silence for what’s in your heart

First of all Morgan, I love your post. I read it like 5 times and I’m literally lmao.

But, in all seriousness, I get what you’re saying. From someone who struggles with same-sex attraction, it’s really sad that other people who struggle with same-sex attraction can’t see the problem with it.

What people with same-sex attraction need is therapy. And, there’s absolutely no shame in that. I had to go through therapy at one point, cause I realized that the problem wasn’t with other people, the problem was with me. I was making out homosexuality to be this big bad monster, when all it really was was my past self needing a hug and someone to talk to about it. When you’re in a position like that, it can be isolating. It can be confusing and difficult to navigate. I can’t say going to therapy helped slay the gay away (LOL), but it has definitely made me realize that I’m the problem. Cause I’ve come to realize that most people just want to help you, that’s all. Most people do not care who you’re attracted to, and honestly, most people don’t need to know. It’s one of those things where it’s just a small part of who I am. There’s so much more to me than who I’m attracted to. I’m a son, a scholar, a Spiritualist, a brother, my Mother’s best friend (and therapist), etc… I’m perfectly ok if I never get married and have children, or even date somebody. It’s not like not being able to experience romance is the end all be all of my existence.

It was funny because, when I was in therapy, I found out that I have a care-taking personality. Now normally when I just converse with people or hang out with others, one would never think that, but deep inside I really want to take care of someone. I used to work for an old folks home and I loved every minute of it. I do like taking care of people, even though I can have a rough exterior.

I personally believe that it would do everyone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community to get some therapy. And, when you say that to someone in that community, they tend to get feisty with you and don’t find it to be a problem. And, I don’t think having same-sex attraction is a problem, it’s acting on that attraction and thinking about that is not natural. God did not create certain men to be able to have a baby, or certain women to provide “sperm.” (I’m like chuckling a little bit as I type this LOL). Here on Earth, it has always been man and woman, nothing else. And it’s not just a Biblical thing, it’s a Biology thing too.

As far as what you should do around LGTBQ+, just be yourself. If someone who is LGTBQ+ lashes back at you, they’re the ones with the problem, not you. Yes, we should love people, but Jesus never said we had to like people, and believe me, I do not care for most LGTBQ+ people. I think they’re obnoxious, and some act like they’re still in high school, but there are good gay men and women out there who don’t follow the stereotype. Sometimes I’ll have moments where I do lash out, but for the most part I’ve worked through that. Heck I used to have a friend (and I miss her dearly) who would constantly tell me I need to choose Christ or I’m going to hell. But, at the end of the day, we were able to agree to disagree. I hope she’s doing ok, her family doesn’t respect her like they should, but she still is a wonderful woman. I just hope I get to see her again.

Earth is a school, and we are here to grow in love and wisdom. I’m one of the slow learners, it takes me a bit to figure things out, but I eventually do. Life was made to be lived. This Earth was made for man and woman, and this 3rd Dimensional reality is optimized for learning. We are here to learn and grow. It’s so wonderful how you can use this reality to your advantage. I personally learn from watching a movie or t.v. show. And when I say learn, I’m not saying that anything you watch on t.v. is real, but I take certain concepts that I learn from watching these movies and apply it to my own life. Like, for example, my favorite Disney movie is Cinderella, because I relate to her the most. I feel like, in my own family, that I’m just a slave, and that the only time I have value is when I clean something or do a chore. Very rarely am I ever praised for being empathetic, and honestly I’ve always felt like I don’t belong (and, come to find out, I’m not supposed to belong). But, after watching that movie over and over, you realize that everyone in your family has something they don’t like about themselves. And I hope, that if I ever do move out of my Father’s house that I’ll be strong like Cinderella and be able to look at my Dad and say “I pity you.” That to me is what is so moving about Cinderella, because even though she was treated most of her life as less than hueman, she still found within her heart to show love to her family. I can only hope that’s how my life will look like someday.

But yeah…just be yourself Morgan. And if someone doesn’t like that, that’s that person’s problem, NOT yours.

I already explained that there was a background bicker going on, prior to those PMs and those PMs were to get him off my back. You seem to mistake Christianity for pacificism. The gif he posted was vile and so I was entitled to do absolutely anything I wanted in self-defence, with more peaceable avenues exhausted. I know my premise, so you can argue continuously on your own about it because I am not concerned over the matter.

Thanks for the comment over my posts. And it’s useful to get some feedback.

People on blogs get secretly riled over content, first and foremost, more than over one’s character. I tend to write in a straightforward way and so there is not that much which can be thrown at me on a personal level where my own ‘self’ is concerned. It is those who throw stones who start to expose their characters.

In terms of homosexuality, demons have something to do with magnetism towards various directions. Some demons can be released via confession and which can act simultaneously as an exorcism - for lesser demonic activity.

You might have heard of an ‘incubus’, a ‘male’ demon, and a ‘succubus’ and which is a female demon and which are popularised all over the internet. I undertook research on this topic, the Succubus, namely, and there are real demons behind them. They lure people.

And infestations cause reactions. Images thrown into your mind. This is because demons attack somewhere between the intellect and emotion. This is a fact not to be undermined. If you think of a bridge between two locations. And that bridge is under attack.

Hauntings can also have an external effect - a ghost is a evil spirit of a primarily different nature to a demon.

I am only stating the above in case you haven’t included such information in related areas, already. Preceding psychology, etc…are the spiritual fundamentals, a stage of analysis to see if there is a preternatural occurrence causing turbulence.

Demons take advantage of vulnerabilities come by way of lived experienced and their means to attack is through these portholes / windows into our minds. You will undoubtedly find that this information syncs with psychology.

I know it’s a demon. I’m just scared cause I don’t want everyone and their dog to know that I struggle with this. There’s one Priest who goes around telling everyone things he hears in the confessional. I would go to confession, the problem is I dunno which Priest does that. Sorry…I just don’t want anyone to know…

Pick a parish far away, make the call anonymous and ask when confessions are and ask if they use a confessional-box (or some sort of screen) and attend but if you are worried over ‘embarrassing sins’ or something then, calmly exiting the confessional, run out the church-door like you want to win a sprinting medal and skid on the loose stones and send them flying as you burn rubber. Just don’t forget to do your penance when you get home. Maybe you could pop into your local church to carry that out. You can say your penance, anywhere. As soon as possible, however. Literally, I wouldn’t stop for discussion with anyone to interrupt that process. So, yes, if you take issue with some priest or other then just ‘be anonymous’.

Oh, well I didn’t think this through, but I could keep the little curtain closed, that way he can’t see me. The only thing is, are you sure confessing would work? Cause I’ve gone to confession before but it seems like it keeps coming back. Is the demon strong enough to withstand a confession? I’ve been struggling with this since 7th or 8th Grade, something like that.

14

The first reason to go to confession is not to get rid of a demon, yet if there is any indulging whatsoever as in giving into demonic attacks then that is a consequence which on some level would incur personal involvement and therefore would be sinful.

Confession would be expected if you were going to receive a blessing and which you could ask for at any time following a confession.

I see…so like if I wanted to get the demon out, I’d need an exorcist?

He would in most if not all circumstances wish for you to go to confession, first. So, you could give a sincere confession and if that hasn’t simultaneously gotten rid of the demon then in a state of grace you could ask for a blessing and if that doesn’t work then an exorcist would be required. I would speak to a priest, but generally, and see what they say. But yes, confession should be for the right reason because your Act of Contrition should be sincerely meant. Praying before confession is sensible so as to help with a contrite spirit.

I feel so sorry for you. No one should be made to feel like their sexuality is a “demon.” I hope you are able to shake off these repressive ideas and love yourself fully some day

I’ve removed the comment. I scanned past that it wasn’t to me.

…coming back on this, cancel ideas about a general blessing for the release of a demon. A blessing is more general help with your spiritual journey and can be in the form of the Sacrament of the Sick but also the Healing of Memories. The latter might in fact be relevant. Blessings can be carried out by any priest. In terms of confession, this doesn’t exorcise in the sense that a demon would be released which is possessing you but rather that a person could have picked up a demonic attachment on the soul and can be released from it. To be released from an actual possession (Oppression, Obsession or full possession), this takes an exorcism.

Thank you. I just know for me personally, everytime I engage in any sexual activity (like m@sturbation and p*rn) you actually feel like dirt. You literally feel like a “used object” if that makes sense. And that’s because your soul is constantly interacting with you throughout the day. The goosebumps on your arms, that chill you get down your spine, all of those bodily sensations is your soul trying to tell you something. And, it’s up to you to figure out what your soul is trying to tell you. Like for me, I know that even just the mere thought of sex with a man, I feel like someone literally threw a bucket of dirt on me. And the funny thing is, it doesn’t matter how many showers I take, that feeling doesn’t go away. And that’s because my “soul” is dirty. It usually takes a couple of days to feel normal again, as long as you don’t engage in that behavior again. But the way your soul interacts with you is quite amazing. And every soul is different, so when someone else takes part in any sin (especially if it’s a mortal sin, cause those are the worst kinds), that particular soul might have a different kind of sensation. Just like every hueman is different, every soul is different and every soul will respond to things that happen to you (or actions you take) in a different way.

Another example, so I had a friend in high school, and I could tell she was Spiritually aware of things, and whenever she would get a chill, it means something bad was going to happen. But now, another friend I know, whenever he gets something right (or says something right) he gets a chill too.

But regardless, thank you for your kind words, but I’ve been wanting to rid myself of this for a while now.

Ok thank you Morgan.
