Every accusation is a confession. Also it's funny to think everyone is a latent homosexual all they need is to come in contact with another homosexual to activate their homosexuality.
Many of them think being gay is a choice because they are bisexual. So for them it's a choice on whether or not to act on it. So they project that it's a choice for everyone.
Considering all the other things they consider temptations, if it's half as fun as everything else they hate, I might have to try this being gay thing!
I hear it’s okay to suck a few cocks as long as you clearly say, “no homo” first. Just a fyi if you were seriously considering giving in to your sinful thoughts.
I’ve got a couple of gay friends, and after I’ve spent time with them, my homo be raging.
It's sort of true. If you have been raised to suppress your wants of people of the same sex, being confronted with things that you find arousing and forbidden makes that suppression hard. That is, you are now aware that you are gay.
Again, everything that a conservative says or thinks is projection. They tell on themselves constantly.
I think it's more that "these people" didn't used to 'exist' in their world: Sexual minorities weren't talked about and were invisible for the most part. But since Stonewall and AIDS, LGBT+ people first decided and then learned not to hide themselves. Suddenly someone who you thought of as normal has 'become' gay. You obviously knew them well, it's not possible they were hiding something from you, and there's no chance your observations were incorrect - clearly, instead of you being wrong, something happened to them, something 'turned them gay' - it must have been the frogs, or music, or DnD, or something, it's just impossible you were wrong!
If you can be converted to being gay, then you were always gay. It’s like if you have to pray the gay away, you are gay my guy
Everyone's at least a bit gay.
I might not like all cocks, but I certainly like mine.
When cuntservatives say they are afraid of being 'gay converted', what they are really saying is 'I'm setting up a defense early in case someone catches me on camera servicing a glory hole at the truck stop like I do every sunday after church.'
No but fr have you tried being left handed?
Dont try to drag me into your sinister, ink stained agendas!
Hey if you prefer they can be graphite-stained

I love the fact that people joke about this nowadays. Because my mom still has bad memories from her childhood, where her teachers forced her to be right handed, acting as if it was a choice, and she was just really bad at writing. This was not a third world country either, but the Netherlands.
U.S. same here, my mother's teachers AND my grandmother beat her regularly with a ruler if she tried writing with her natural dominant hand.
Was so cursed it followed her the rest of her life and even after she was living on her own she wouldn't use her left hand for writing.
The year she passed away she told me about it with tears in her eyes, it stuck with her for 70 years.
I have and it's amazing!
Also we actually have forced left handed people to become right-handed.
Weird I've heard about this from so many countries, from Japan to almost every communist country.
The US did it too for a while. The justification seems to have been something to do with left-handed versus right-handed brain processing or something like that. They were worried that they were going to get a generation of artists and poets and that no one would actually do anything industrial.
Also there's something in the Bible about people having left hands being agents of the devil, although it seems to only be in certain editions.
The idea that left-handed people are more artistic than right-handed people has been debunked for years now and yet it's still something people seem to think is true.
Happened to my mother. In the US, in the 30s.
Happened to my wife's mother in the Netherlands in the 1950s. She did everything left handed but wrote right handed.
By the 1970s this was over here, so I guess the southpaws were able to convert enough people to their godless ways. 😉
I guess the southpaws were able to convert enough people to their ~~godless~~ sinister ways.
FTFY
Did me until 2nd grade. That teacher gave me left handed scissors with a laugh.
Its always just projection
One day, 2 Church persons tried to talk to me about Jesus-guy, I bet them in and talked about 2 hours about free choice, real science and evolution. Tried to "discuss" it like they do it, just don't let other arguments be valid and come back to the same shit again and again. I didn't let them go until they almost panicked. Never heard from them again. Btw they didn't touch their tea, hmm. I really tried to convert them to self-thinking, I still hope, something stays with them.
And by christians, you mean American Christians. The rest of the world's god-botherers don't do this. Yous are fucking weird bunch, that's why yous got turfed out of Europe in the 15th century 😂😂
Yeah, there's a lot of history to this, but it's a part of why there's so many unusual or distinctive off-shoots of Christianity that come from the US: Jehovah's Witnesses, LDS, Seventh Day Adventists, Evangelicalism, etc...
It's not just the Puritans, in fact, it's mostly not, though they've given us plenty of other cultural baggage.
Because we weren't our own nation, we didn't have our own bishop in the church of English, so for ministers to get ordained they had to go to England to be trained and then come back.
This gave rise to a conflict between the New Lights and Old Lights. The New Lights were basically proto-evangelicals and they determined that the proof of qualification to be a minister wasn't a degree, education, or some church approval from overseas, but the ability to gather a church.
This meant that charisma became the defining trait for a successful minister. They're not educated and they're terribly persuasive. This is why evangelicals have such terrible theology. There's all these ideas that are mainstream evangelical ideas that never existed before this period.
The rapture was created during this period. That's right, for nearly 1800 years Christians wouldn't even know what you meant if you said "the rapture" and now evangelicals wander around telling everyone to be prepared.
So... the Catholic Church, well known for traveling the world to shove Jesus down everyone's throats, is an American institution now? Got it.
Heh, and before the 15th century it was the American Christians that went on Crusades, yeah?
For real though
It's all the fun banning puritans who got booted out of the country after their coup and subsequent dictatorship finally got overthrown who were the bulk of the Thirteen Colonies, which largely just left the "love thy neighbour" Christians who actually campaign against racism, homophobia, climate change and whatever else can be seen as people insulting "God's creation" which frankly I can completely get behind even if I don't believe it as such.
Frankly I don't get the mind bending logic to ignoring all the "everyone is God's child, he has made them as he sees fit, he loves them, you should love them too" stuff in the bible and skipping past to a small subsection which says that men shouldn't sleep together, especially when they ignore the fact that the same section says that anyone who works on a Sunday should be put to death along with a bunch of other wild and wacky stuff that we just all collectively agree was a product of the time it was written...
Well us and Africa… and Russia
"Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Gaysus Bi-st?"
If you try really hard and really want it, you too can be 6',5"
I agree overall with your points, but there is just one caveat: your points are spoken from American and Christian perspective, and there is homophobia in some cultures that are not Christian-based. Majority Chinese, for example, describes themselves as atheists, but they are by and large homophobic. I might be wrong, but I heard CCP is cracking down on fashion, aesthetics and male celebs that might be "too feminine".
