I came out to my mom this morning (The Gay Megathread)

[Night Fox]

If I'm not listening, are you going to tell me that you are actually contemplating what I put on the plate?

no, I'm not
I'm gay
why on earth would I seriously consider the idea that I'm lying??

It's a matter of belief. A perception of fact. If you think he's wrong, support your point with evidence and not insults.

so you're saying I have to prove that I'm gay?

Grass being green and two plus two equaling four are both demonstrable facts. Try again.

um, it is a demonstrable fact. tell me how I can make you believe it. do you want to see a video of me jerking off to gay research?? as soon as you prove it to me that I'm not actually gay I will happily consider XR-7's point of view

[Tayasaurus]

He shouldn't have shared his unpopular opinion in the first place.

Yet he has the right to. Get over it.

[Captain Coco Crinkle Pop]

Did I ever say anything about XR-7 personally?

yeah but that's what we were talking about

so you're saying I have to prove that I'm gay?

obviously not jesus christ quit it with the false dilemma already

Show him how he's wrong by addressing the logic of his cognition. He doesn't believe that you can be born gay. Bring up some articles that contradict that.

[Bisjac]

well I don't believe there is such thing as a bi person.
they all have a preference one way or another, and that's what they are.
being open to forget anyone isn't the same thing.

[Leidoffon]

Yet he has the right to.

Because he's entitled to his opinion or something? Right. If your personal opinion starts a heated flamewar in any thread you post it in, maybe you should share it less often.

well you can believe what you want but scientifically there is such a thing as biloveuality

This isn't a flamewar. Its a debate.

[Leidoffon]

This isn't a flamewar. Its a debate.

Not every thread is supposed to be debated. The original point of this thread was to get moral support for a guy about to come out of the closet to his mom.

[Tayasaurus]

Not every thread is supposed to be debated.

Well this one is. If you can't deal with the fact that people have opposing views and opinions you shouldn't be here at all.

if I don't have to prove that I'm gay, then why do I have to provide any articles?

but, whatever

No it isn't! I've said this like four times now! BuildaBox was looking for some reassurance because coming outta the closet it hard, not to discuss homoloveuality and if it's natural or not. It's obvious the guy is scared stuffless.

Not everything has to be a battle or a debate.

I'll have to agree its been derailed sadly. As much as I agree though its inevitable that it gets derailed so easily because people like to discuss the subject at hand.

[Khorde]

to op:

nobody should give a stuff about your loveuality, parents and friends included. Be who you are and don't let anyone or anything influence what you really want in life. if your parents flip, it's no biggie, eventually they'll understand and look at it from your point of view.

just don't be a huge friend who labels themselves and then adheres to said label to control what you do with your life. nobody likes the person who is like "oMG im so gay hi bois pls i suck your rooster richard this richard that haha im so funny and gay and cute!". subtlety is nice, however flamboyance in any aspect - gay or not - is obnoxious.

I hate that stuff. When I was in high school kids that would decide they were gay would 'randomly' starting to have a higher pitched voice and become the most annoying person in school.
