Warning: Gender bending

[Ripsnort]

This could be the most epic thread ever in the history of AH OT.

I'm trying to understand the psychology behind speaking out publically of one's preferences.

I believe it comes down to one of two things; convince a group to see more than just 'the painting' or releasing one's feelings to a large audience to gain acceptance.

Each of us is a unique individual with unique preferences. We're all literally "one in a million" shots from a biological POV.

I also believe that in 99.9% of our sexual preferences are nurtured or learned behavior, not natural.

With that said....make the most out of your lives, we're all very lucky to have been born on planet earth. Live and let live.

What one person things is insane is not that insane to someone else.

full twig and berries? or something else

What is a gender bender?

This... and, with all due respect... I have to get a certain "Aerosmith" tune out of my head.

And to Serenety, that took a helluva set to post here. I believe Pred summed it up earlier.

i still got love for you serenity either way, just my personal preference is woman, don't let me act all high and mighty over you, we've all had our personal experiences when we were younger or older, no one can tell you how to feel, if you're genuinely attracted to this person than you are, what can you say

Agreed.  I was literally 'retired' from relationships when I stumbled across Julie (my girl now) and there's a pretty good sized age gap.  It took some of my family and hers to get over it at first.  My real life friends shrugged and said 'well that figures'.  But she treats me very very well better, in fact, than anyone has eve treated me.  We laugh all of the time about one of our conversations early on.  I asked her what attracted her to me.  She said 'I just liked the way everybody looked up to and listened to you and decided I wanted to be important to you'.  I replied 'well you got the bonus plan'.  We're happy and we aren't hurting anyone that's all I expect out of other people.

If you are asking me if you are homosexual ... yes.
If you are asking me if I care ... nope.
Posting on this red blooded raw meat eating board ... courageous balls.

A old boos of mine once shared a timeless perspective.  "There are only two ways you can judge a man. by his work and his word"

now where is that beer.

Don't know you, Don't care what you do in the privacy of your home. Don't need to judge you, that's done already. But please don't try to justify it or "help us to understand", I can't and I wont, but again its your life do as you wish. You have to deal with the consequences of your decision, as each of us do.

For those with Christian background, Homosexuality is wrong, and one of the few sins punishable by death (in the Old Testament) , But so was Adultery, Fornication, and taking the Lords name in vain. We are all sinners and can only be saved by Grace of God.

There lock this thread.

Said it much better than I did.

1st Corinthians 6:9,10;13-20

Also check out: Romans 1:18-32

There is nothing brave about telling a forum full of complete and anonymous strangers a story like this anonymously. The more salient question, is why the OP needs to "anonymously" if he is as secure in his choice as he emphasizes.

One rarely has a conversation like this in front of his mother.......

I never have, nor will I ever, understand persecuting or discriminating against someone because a religion tells you to do so. Also, in!

[danny76]

Funny you should say that. I'm completely straight, and the only "agenda" I have to push is to say "Let's take a moment to understand and respect our fellow human beings who may be in situations we don't agree with or comprehend".

Good for you man

And for those of us that thinks that is just fairytales its no big deal, and most of us wants to live our life in our own way. Without having religious crackpots telling us whats right and wrong.

You're right. The Bible does not tell us to persecute anyone.
