    I told my mom when I was in my mid-20s and I ask her if she knew, but she said, "what are you talking about?" Then I told her that I'm gay. Her answer will forever something I won't forget. She didn't mind at all, and knew a few years back. My mom is the OG and didn't mind at all.

    Bridging two identities the agenda as outlined by JG
    “Whoever can conquer the streets will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street.”
    “Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident, they are acting on their own free will.”
    “The secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are be immersed in it.”
    “The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, That in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape it.”
    “We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection.”

    I assume this boy n this mental therapist had no father figures n their moms just allowed them to be whatever they wanted to be..there was no mentioning of a father in this story just their moms accepted them being gay..the fact of the matter is the chances of a child feeling this way is no father figure in their life..the dad didn't spend time with them or they grew up without a dad

      By your logic, if a girl grew up without a mother figure, only raised by her father, she'll end up probably liking only women because there wasn't a mother to teach her to like men. It doesn't matter if there was a father figure or not, you're born the way you are. The only difference a father figure will do is probably make a person who was born gay hide their identity because men aren't supposed to cry or wear dresses, but all fathers are different and some are more accepting than others.

    Probably doesn’t have a father figure in the house. You see alot of this now with these new generation.

    Why is "coming out" even a thing! No community wants to know whether you're straight or gay. It's none of their business anyway. I'm not special just b/c I'm straight and neither are you for being gay.

    • @JarvanFourth
      @JarvanFourth Pƙed měsĂ­cem +3

      Because you never get made fun of for being straight, and that is straight privilege right there. People all around the world don't beat you up or kill you because you are straight, but it happens if you are gay. That why it matters until people all around the world starts treating everyone equally regardless of their sexual preference.

      @@JarvanFourth Wrong. Straight people are victims of all types of crimes worldwide. Straight people are marginalized for being straight. Furthermore, the destruction of straight families, especially fatherless families, undermines humanity. Y' all aren't victims; it's now straights that are victims of your tyranny.

      Straight people are victims of crimes too. Y'all aren't victims. Your sexuality is so mainstream it's on beer cans nobody drinks.
