Yeah, we look stupid as fuck posting here after what happened.
Agreed, but we know that men and women's nipples are treated differently.
That is also not NSFW.

I've been here longer than you you dingus
So are Google and Yahoo, but we all got used to those.
I can't speak to what Summer Haze posted, but there is nothing objectionable about the picture and gif of two men kissing that I am referring to. Says volumes about anyone that would have a problem with that.

I've heard of pro-gay churches, but those are still the minority. And it's not as easy as switching churches, when you're 15 and your whole family is homophobic. I really hope the gay people in eKongDiddy's life manage to get out of that toxic environment.
It's not easy to get out of a situation like that.
Ah, an admitted alt account. How nice.

Why don't you try turning gay and tell me how that works out for you? Surely if you can be an ex-gay you can be ex-straight too, right? Also, when did you decide you would become straight. How old were you when you made that decision?
I don't think anyone finds the content itself objectionable (well, maybe the conversion guy), just that some might have an issue with that at work. Fan art threads and the like where you can expect to see certain content are usually labeled.

OK but my username isn't meant to be NeoGAF 2.0. The new forum will crash and burn on that name alone. It's absolutely terrible. More thought should have been put into it. Just my opinion of course

Warning NSFW at all, it's threads like this that mean I can't risk being here. Hopefully this forum gets a good flushing for tomorrow.

Thats true. And i agree that this picture isnt exactly NSFW. If it had been more erotic, i would say that it would be fair to label it as NSFW. The pictures in themself are no problem though, but they can be seen as erotic content (half naked, specific poses etc.).

Aren't alt accounts against the TOS? Shouldn't this guy be banned?
They're lonely and powerless in real life, so this is how they feel good about themselves.
I don't think they're going to get out because they've now formed families within the church.
I think it depends on where you live. If you're in northern USA I imagine or in Canada, I think it's fairly easy to find a church that will accept and support you, or at least ignore it and not harp on it. In the deep South, I suspect it'd be difficult to find acceptance.
My friend is quite a socially conservative Christian and very dedicated to the church (every sunday, plus bible studies and church retreats.) I've been to her church with her many times and not once have I heard a sermon that talked about homosexuality. It seems to me, even going to the same church a socially conservative Christian would attend won't ever condemn you from the pulpit and make you feel uncomfortable for attending. I could ask her about gay members in the community and see where they stand.
Sounds like eKongDiddy was gay himself or at least experimenting, so probably he would be best to speak to about how painful it is to remain in a church that doesn't accept gay relationships.

It's not a "lifestyle", it's just a sexuality and that's it, a biological component of someone, just like your eye colour.
what is the gay lifestyle to you?
There is no "gay lifestyle", You could literally live the same life, be the exact same person you are, but be born gay or straight, it just changes who you want to have sex with, that's not a "lifestyle".
It's like saying there is a white/black lifestyle or a female/male lifestyle, it's BS.

I don't really want to have you banned. I wouldn't care, if not for the fact that it demonstrates how well this place is being run currently.

This is what I think.
I'm not sure about this; as of last night they were combating massive troll attacks from 8chan types. It sounded like the 'roll out' will take a bit longer than just a couple hours.
They were largely already gone. In that respect, gaf was already a shell of what it was several years ago. I'm sure some will jump in on this new project, but I can't imagine most/all.
Right.
Because many people believe that your sexuality is hardcoded and can't be changed. What you believe goes against what they believe. You're working on completely different frameworks of understanding.
Could you have a look at my post here? Thanks.

Because the only reason people want to "get out" of that "lifestyle" is the entire society, specially most Christian people, telling them they're going to hell, that they're sinners, that God hates them.
It's because they fear for their lives every day, because they are beat up, and offended and molested.
They want to change because everybody else is telling them they are abominations. Have you ever wondered why no one wants to stop being straight? That's because they don't face the same shit gay people do for being straight.
Go watch Prayers For Bobby before getting into the subject of conversion as a positive thing. That was a real story.
IT IS NOT A LIFESTYLE, YOU MORON.
People want to get out of that "lifestyle" because of people like you that keep spilling their prejudice and keep discriminating against LGBT+ people. Because straight people don't need to fear for their lives when they hold hands on the street, and because being straight isn't illegal in a number of countries. Because straight people can get married without any problems everywhere in the world. Because there isn't a single country on this planet that arrests people because they are straight.
That's why people want to leave that """"lifestyle""""". Because they have been taught to hate themselves and they have been taught they are inferior than straight people. There is a huge self-hatred hurdle to overcome if you are LGBT+, and the easy option would be not being LGBT+. But, if you were being honest with yourself and with everyone else, you already realised you can't turn gay if you were born straight. So gay people won't turn straight either.
I don't know why I'm wasting my time here, tbh.

First i want to say this place is getting ridiculous.
Second... I like the way Kurdel thinks.
Im not a gay man but I'm also not uncomfortable when two gay men kiss. So let me repost his gifs.. Just to make the homophobic asses out there feel uncomfortable

They THINK they're happy because the people in their lives are convinced that they're "normal," and that they didn't choose "that lifestyle." Now that they're pretending to be straight, they don't have to fear potential backlash/ostracizing/ridicule/harassment/violence/etc., especially if they are abstaining from sex.
It's clear that you don't want to accept that it's not a choice.
The only choice a gay person (if they live somewhere where they don't get killed for being gay) has is choosing to be themselves, or living a life trying to please the ignorant people around them. And that shouldn't even be a choice. But because of people like you who don't want to accept the obvious, it's still a "choice" for gay people to live as themselves.
Again: straight people cannot become gay, so it's the same thing the other way around. And again: if people had a choice between being straight and being gay, approximately 0 people on Earth would choose being gay. It only makes life much harder, even in the more accepting urban cities.
It sounds both very self-important and if you say it very fast it sounds like etcetera, which is not very important at all.

You recall reading about people having clinical depression, and how no one knew they had it since they seemed happy all the time?
Think about how they had to hide their true feelings and show a different face outwards.
Think about what that caused.

Then you werent gay, Einstein.
Go read on the Kinsey scale and about straight men who have gay experiences, its perfectly natural and doesnt turn into an orientation commitment.

My friend had a pastor that claimed that she "used to be a lesbian" and then spread a bunch of ignorant untrue BS to others, like my friend, which caused homophobia to grow in their hearts.
Newsflash the pastor is still a lesbian. "Turning to God" does not change that. It is only repressing it.
Also, i also had a religious friend who told me to get therapy when he found out I was gay (plus constantly mocking me and insulting me). He told me, "I thought I was gay once too, but it was actually because I just didn't have a girl for so long. Trust me etc etc" garbage.
If you don't feel like you're repressing homosexual thoughts then you're not gay.
Here are some facts:
-your sexuality is not a choice
-no one would choose to be gay if it actually was a choice
Good day
