THERE IS NOTHG WRONG WH BEG GAY

I know this is probably a really dumb qutn but a few days ago someone told me that was wrong to be gay sce I uldn’t produce children, this has ma me feel weird and prsed lately I really love spirualy but most religns I see have one or two thgs agast queer people and I’ve been hatg myself and my sexualy lately. My parents always raised me to believe that everyone is equal and jt bee they love someone of the same sex don't make them any worse than beg gay don't impact my life at all-- so nsir this hypothetil suatn-- if you were to see someone stealg would you act out disgt and nstantly bash that person for stealg?

Furthermore, homosexuals nnot atta the kgdom of is astoundg how many Evangelils Ameri still ce the five “clobber passag” as proof that God hat realy, each of those five Bible passag refers to horrible homosexual practic that were mon the Middle East before and durg the era of J. They prumed that a closeted gay man uld be faced wh a suatn which he eher shared top secret or would be, for s gays were not allowed to be the ary or ernment realy, no se existed where a gay man gave away natnal secrets to keep himself om beg outed. Th is a moral actn to teach about gay realy, at whatever age a straight boy is supposed to learn the facts of sexualy, then at that same age, a gay boy needs to unrstand the rmatn as applied to his homosexualy.

He then dat her, and they fall love, m to each other marriage, and engage erotic men follow that exact same blueprt: attractn, datg, marriage, and realy, there is no difference the romantic and erotic patterns of straight men pared to gays. While there is no sgle “gay gene, ” there is overwhelmg evince of a blogil basis for sexual orientatn that is programmed to the bra before birth based on a mix of geics and prenatal ndns, none of which the fet choos.

GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN'S HEALTH ISSU

There are a few optns for gay men and bisexual men same-sex relatnships who aspire to have children, cludg surrogacy, where sperm is ed to fertilize a donated egg, which is then rried to term by a surrogate mother. Durg the afternoon ssn footage om the Sky broadst emerged on social media that appeared to show the England pta tellg Gabriel “there is nothg wrong wh beg gay” d has emerged to clarify what prompted Root to say this.

'NOTHG WRONG WH BEG GAY': ROOT RERD RPONDG TO GABRIEL'S ABIVE LANGUAGE

One such piece — and a highly-predictable one, at that — is veteran forward Rudy Gay, who was recently waived by the Oklahoma Cy Thunr, after beg ed as filler two different offseason tras: first when the Utah Jazz shipped him to the Atlanta Hawks the John Colls al, and then when the Hawks sent him to the Thunr the Patty Mills tra. Not only have they played (and ached) agast him for years, but Gay was teammat wh Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the Team USA squad that won gold at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and also teammat wh Curry (and Andre Iguodala) on the gold medal-wng 2010 team.

It’s easy to make the se for Gay, sce the Warrrs rotatn seems pretty set as is, wh an 11-player rotatn of Curry, Pl, Thompson, Wiggs, Green, Kumga, Moody, Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, Dar Šarić, and Cory Joseph. Many of the greatt people on this pla -Bs Chief Executiv, Teachers, Doctors, Surgeons and Sports Stars - jt so happen to be gayYet the are nothg more than stereotyp - the were simply behavurs and ways of walkg and talkg that I had... Beg mp do not mean that you are gay any more than beg extremely mascule do not mean you are straight, as proment gby players who have recently 'e out' so clearly more I was mocked for beg 'mp' or stgglg to act more mascule, the more embarrassed and upset I would bee about beg labelled 'gay'.

IS RUDY GAY A GOOD F?

I would live fear of and anyone who might have - eher to my face or behd my back - ed the word to scribe word the world uld have ma me hate, spise and tt myself more, and this bullyg and name-llg stilled my thought-procs that there uld be nothg worse than beg 'gay'.

I hated the fact that people thought I was 'gay' (whatever the word meant to them) and tried to avoid all thought of sexualy om g to my sexualy is unchangeable, is tegral to the personaly which I was born wh and I do thk is normal wh a diverse, large and geilly varied human if I was to fally tackle the issue of my sexualy - and then fd eedom and happs as a rult - I knew I simply had to tackle the issue head on, and this meant first of all nontg my fear of the word 'gay' once and for all. So I cid to embark on a ep perd of trospectn and soul-searchg, vtg a great al of time makg clear to myself that homosexualy is perfectly natural and that beg 'gay' is somethg about who you love and want to spend your life a relatnship a 'God' do exist, then surely you would say mt be God who has lovgly and purposefully ma people gay, and so surely homosexualy is part of God's plan? I ma clear to myself that actually beg gay was nothg to do wh the rejectn and bullyg I had received for 'actg gay' - I'd never publicly said I "liked boys" or anythg of the sort - but that the name-llg was stead about societal stereotyp and ignorant children beg about how I walked and talked.

I then shifted my foc to why you shouldn't be ashamed to actually BE homosexual - beg gay no one else any harm whatsoever, is natural, normal and most certaly do not stop you om dog the same thgs as any other person on this pla.

PART TWO: WHY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHG WRONG WH BEG GAY

I started to see the negative power the word 'gay' had over me dimish, and began to feel ready to start thkg about my sexual inty a really open, hont, reflective able to see that homosexualy is somethg natural and normal, not somethg to be repulsed by or ashamed of, has allowed me to realise that those who had been and mocked me for how I walked and talked had no right to be treatg me that way and allowed me to feel much more acceptg of the ia that I uld be gay.

I began to see that I wouldn't be 'nfsg' to beg gay like was some sort of crime, but that to accept I am gay would be about feelg empowered and openg myself up to relatnships and feelg thentic my everyday life. In a Febary poll, Gallup found that more people self-intified as lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr – or “somethg other than heterosexual” – on an anonymo survey nducted 2021 than any other pot the last , a change largely driven by young people.

For stance, early studi reported an almost two-fold volumetric crease of the suprachiasmatic nucls of the hypothalam16 but twice smaller volum of the third terstial nucls of the anterr hypothalam (INAH-3) homosexual (HoM) relative to heterosexual men (HeM) and no volumetric differenc the INAH-3 between heterosexual women (HeW) and HoM17.

WHY RSIA IS SO ANTI-GAY

In another voxel-based morphometry (VBM) study on sexual orientatn, ls gray matter nsy was observed the ventral cerebellum, the left ventral premotor rtex, and the temporo-basal rtex homosexual relative to heterosexual women22. Furthermore, homosexualy seems to be associated wh ls distct cerebral sexual together, although extant fdgs suggt that human sexual orientatn is associated wh bra morphology, the heterogeneo and limed number of studi preclus a thorough unrstandg of the shared and distct nral signatur of sexual orientatn men and women.

MethodsParticipantsMRI data of 37 men (21 homosexual men = HoM; 16 heterosexual men = HeM) and 37 women (19 homosexual women = HoW; 18 heterosexual women = HeW) entered the analys (see Supplementary Table 1 for sample mographics; N = 74).
