@ Yahoo article: My parents have Sbcglobal internet, which is tied to Yahoo, so I have seen yahoo articles all the time since my parents got internet from them years ago, and in all that time, if there was one thing I learned, it was that I should NEVER look at the comments on Yahoo articles. This is a lucky one in that goodhearted people managed to flush out the more irritating ones. Most articles aren't that lucky. .__.
Now come on California! You can do it! |

Temporarily, anyway. =/ I want to be happy, but I just know that some bull is going to bring it to court in an attempt to overturn it, even though it's an incredibly simple issue that really should just be legalized naturally in every state. |
I agree, but there are millions of people who want every single person who posts in this thread to burn in hell. -w-; SO. I'm not holding my breath.

I don't get it. Most of the hate comes from religious back grounds. Why must people hate love?
I don't understand it at all. Yet again, I try to isolate myself from people with hatred in them, because I'm the exact oppiste of those types of people. |

Yeah, all of the Christians I know personally think of it as "You shouldn't hate them, but if you just ignore them, they'll never change." (And of course, they want us to change because they don't think we'll go to heaven.) which is okay, I suppose... but on the internet, it seems that that's a fairly uncommon opinion.
|
There really needs to be a word for someone who believes they are a good Christian when in fact they aren't and are doing it all wrong by hating people left and right. I mean, I have quite a few words I use for them, but none of them are appropriate to post on this forum.
My goodness though, it's like America is gearing up for another civil war with all this sh... stuff doing down. |

Meh, I have a hard time believing a country that's this advanced could actually have a civil war. A lot of rioting perhaps, but I doubt it could ever end up being a "war".

And I wasn't serious about the civil war thing, just venting some frustration at all the idiocy that's all over the news. |

We called them C&E's in my church. Christmas and Easters, since that was the only time of the year they went to church. The Rainbow War! XD I had an... interesting conversation with my mother on Tuesday. We were actually in the middle of a funeral procession. Moar story? My mom has always been pissed that I'm atheist, even though she's a rather terrible believer herself. She always brings up that she said it was the worst thing she ever did to send me to Catholic school, and that it made me atheist. I have to agree, but I had to explain to her the other reasons for atheism, the ass hole of a priest we had, the sexist nature of the church, the inconsistency of the Bible, the treatment of gays in the church... Then she flipped a lid. Apparently I'm only "bi" (she refuses to accept further, nor to accept the fact that I have a minor preference to women over men. I have no idea why I do, just weird like that.) because of the people I hung out with in high school. Apparently it was the cool thing to do and I did it to "fit in", just like, get this, my atheism. I started laughing so hard when she said I was only atheist cause it was cool and I was just acting it. So ****ing funny! I mean when I say I'm atheist, I am a strong atheist and I will start rants and jump in any religious argument I find because I CAN DAMMIT (:P) Then I got upset. I told her that my atheism, true, has a part with how religion treats the lgbt community. But I told her that I miss Church. She shut up and listened, and it's true. I miss the music, the singing, the feeling that you're in something bigger, the safety of knowing, of feeling that you're safe. When we were in that church for the funeral I cried, not for the departed cause I barely knew them, but for the fact that I missed this, I might not believe it anymore. But the community. I remembered my church and how much I meant to them since I was the only altar server. How it felt when I helped others for church related programs and such. I explained to her that I lost a lot when I stopped believing. Then she asked why then don't I believe? Save what I lost? I explained that if I were to act like I believed, go through the motions but not have the faith behind it, it would actually be an insult, sacrilegious, and not like I cared, but there felt like there would be something inherently wrong with that. She said ok. Then she started actually asking questions. Like, not being mean, but really asking questions and being curious. It as such a step forward. Then she started asking me about lgbt stuff, purely curious. It was such a step forward! Then she started talking to me about other stuff, like how I really want to be a teacher. She said I should try for it, when before when I said it when I graduated high school she was like "GRR YOU'LL NEVER MAKE MONEY IN THAT JOB HURR HURR". That ounce of respect I had for the church in that I didn't want to be considered sacrilegious, it got to her. I don't know why. It's a good thing though. |
^it's beautiful that you've managed to communicate and reach an understanding with your mother. :-)
i think it's quite natural for you to miss the Church community; almost everyone wants to be part of a community where they feel most at home -- whether it be a religious community or an online LGBTQS club like this. |
I have anime, GSA, and video game club to act as a "community". Then theres the online world if I ever feel lonley.
I'm starting to feel doubt on myself; maybe I'm not trans, maybe its just a phase. I need things to sort out in my head. If anything, I know that I would at least be a crossdresser. Because skirts are fun, and better than pants <3 |

so yeah, it's normal to feel that way. i would personally suggest not to label yourself too quickly because your case may end up similar to mine (a.k.a. a phase), and, technically, if you label yourself too soon, you may end up limiting your feelings about yourself and about other people, so just go with your feelings, i guess. :-) |
^Hmm, I see; The only concern I have is that I just recently moved over user names and what not. I guess I can always go back to the old username/new username. Thats the biggest concern of right now.
I'll see how things go, because honestly; the future is scary for me. I want to find myself as soon as I can, but I can't rush these things. I just don't want to do any long term damage (right now all thats been done is the online persona change and me telling a few people I know) I wish I can talk someone on the professional level, but that won't be happening...... |
A message to all clubs~
I'm going back to this profile. I wish to be a part of the club, but under this name. The reason for wanting to create a new profile is not valid anymore, and I'm more comfortable with my older username. Thank you. c: |
It's no problem; I never remove names from the LGBT Club list anyway, so I had you there under both accounts :)

Sometimes the only "bridge" needed is someone with an open mind. Balanced people don't listen to religion more than loved ones. My religious aunt for example, doesn't need an explination. She accepts anyone for who they are.
Though it is rather hard to find someone like that. |
I think a mother's love put something toward the building the bridge in this instance too. I'm not so sure the result would have been the same if it had been just a random religious person that happened to know she was an atheist.

I don't know who he is either, haha.
I try to stay as far away from politics as I can though. |
>_>
That's Dick Cheney, vice-president under Bush, the man without a heart who can sneer and scowl at the same time, the raw, un-sugarcoated face of Republican eviltude and meanness. But anyway, his daughter is gay and ever since he stopped being vice president he's been a supporter of gay marriage, ostensibly because of his daughter showing him he was being evil and stupid. |
