Topic : Homosexuality

 I was raised by my lesbian mother. People think because of that I am gay. I have two sisters and myself. My older sister and I are straight and my twin sister just happens to be a lesbain herself . But that was not influenced by my mother as she chose to keep her sexuality from us until she thought we would understand better. And we also always had contact with my father who is a straight man.  It just so happens my twin sister came out to my Mom, and just then my Mom decided to talk to us about it. So I have grown up with this and I don't think there is anything wrong with it "to each his own". I don't understand why people care so much about other peoples sexualities in the first place. You live your life and let other live theirs.

 I think some people are just stuck back in the past to where it wasn't socailly acceptable. And some people don't realize that  it isn't a choice you make. You are born that way. Most people don't understand things that they are not educated on. And sexuality is one of the biggest life topics that most people are not educated on, until it becomes even more socailly acceptable.

My boyfriend and I (woman) have been dating for 6 months and everything has been awesome until we had a conversation yesterday about our pasts. About 7-8 years ago he had a threesome and had sex with a guy. We had a conversation a long time ago when he said he had curiosity about being with another guy. The conversation never went further...I think he knew I wasn't ready to hear this...I love him and I know that our pasts are pasts...but I can't get this thought out of my head that one day he may want to be with another man again. I could not handle that - I asked him if it had ever happened again or if he wanted it to and he said no, it didn't and no, he doesn't want it to. This man has never lied to me, always been completely open and upfront about him and his life...Deep down I believe him but how do I get rid of this idea or nagging thought in my head so we can get past this? Or am I being stupid and don't want to see the obvious? I just thought I'd get some other point of views because I don't want to be the woman that ends up getting left because her husband finally comes out?  I'm thinking he had the nerve to do it once and doesn't want it to happen again would mean that he's not gay?  Please help - I'm literally an emotional wreck right now because until we had this conversation - I truly believed deep down that I had found my soulmate.  He's amazing...and I want to trust him completely but I want to be sure that he's being honest with himself...Thanks

When I read about your mothers reaction I thought of my friend who came out as a lesbian about 17 years ago. She started to talk about gay people to her mother to start the conversation and her mother gave very harsh comment about that beeing "unnatural" and discusting so my friend didn't have the courage to tell her about her feelings until 5 years later. Her sexuality is approved by all her family today as well as her wife. Don't get discouraged by your mothers reaction. She's probably just feeling afraid by something she doesn't know.

Not everyone follows or believes your religion. This kind of post isn't helpful or appreciated here.

I don't have a problem with homosexuals, as long as they are nice people in general. There are jerks that are heterosexual and there are jerks that are homosexual. Jerks come in a shapes and size and sexual orientation.

What about organizations and such that seem to be anti-homosexual? How do you feel about those?

I am not familar with anti homosexual organizations. I guess as long as we live in America, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have a very close family member that is homosexual, as is my daughter's college friend. I am sure they could tell me of some anti-homosexual organizations. I just think there is too much hate in the world.

Well, the AFA for one. And yeah, everyone is entitle to their opinion, doesn't mean each opinion is valid. Certainly doesn't void having an opinion on opinions.
