Im from a European Family and my mum who i am close to does not accept me for being gay. She thinks its a disease. I am 24 and in a loving relationship with my bf and she wont acknowledge him at all. When we have gatherings with my friends she always says how my friend, who has a wife and child, is doing well for himself. Which of course is to take a jab at me. Does anyone else have a similar story out there and how long it took for their relative to accept it? Thanks So Much

I get along with all kinds of people, both sexes and all manners of sexuality, all nationalities and colors and religions. It is when I run into a person who seems to be defined, controlled, stamped by "what they are" rather than who they are. I am sometimes accused of being racist or prejudiced, even ant-gay (I am a bisexual) because I tend to give the cold-shoulder to such people. Sometimes it is because their whole topic of coversation when you see them is about what they are. For some , they seem to go out of their way to display every negative stereotype or behavior, as if trying to prove a point. To me, this all lacks a real individuality, a real personality, a true personal identity. I am defined by my thoughts and feelings which are sometimes related to being a woman, rarely about being bisexual (I dont think, I just do), and never about being Greek or Sicilian.

I work in the healthcare and I'm involved in various healthcare initiatives and groups that are relatively mainstream - the Heart Association, Diabetes Association, American Cancer, etc. You see their information everywhere, they provide screenings at health fairs, they target schools, businesses, etc.

However, when I attend any type of a GLBT community function, such as Pride fair, whether in my own community or larger communities like San Francisco, I rarely see any presence from these organizations. I see agencies related to mental health, substance abuse, HIV, etc. -- all important issues within the GLBT community -- but it seems as though there's no effort to provide "general" health info to the GLBT community. More people will die of cancer and heart disease, but you don't see that info. It's seems like there could be a stronger focus on linking health ed resources with the GLBT community, or should we assume GLBT people will find that info on their own?

Do you let other users here on Y/A send you personal email?
Now I know why a lot of people here don't' allow others to send them personal email. I got this whining email from this "obviously" disturbed person complaining too me about one of my answers. LoL!!! He was quite emotional about it, and all I have to say is now I understand why people block their email address from this place. I've allowed emails to be sent to me since I started this account last year, and have had no problems with anyone, but now I'm blocking it off because I don't want to read someone's whinings. What about you? Do you allow access or do you block personal emails? Just curious.

After reading these posts, it's easy to conclude:

You were born gay, it's not a choice.
If you have gay thoughts, then you're gay.
If you have sex with someone of the same gender, that's proof that you're gay.
If you have sex with someone of the same gender, you are not be gay if you're just doing the actions.
People can't change once they are gay, if they leave the lifestyle, then they are bi, lying to themselves, or just doing the actions.
If you are gay, then you have to tell everyone that you're having sex with others of the same gender.

So in the end, how do you know if someone is really gay, or going through the motions? How do you separate real gay people from the posers? Is there a test?

Comparison Dog’s life and human life
I’m a middle-eastern refugee in Thailand, I’m here since 2001, while I became a refugee and U.N.H.C.R recognized me as a refugee I lost my human Identity, when I compare my current life with Dogs life here, always I wish to be a Dog, when I compare my situation with dog’s situation I’m jealous with dogs. There are many dogs living near my place. The dogs are ugly but everyone loves them. The dogs are stupid but everyone try to teach them. The dogs are dirty but everyone touches and hugs them. The dogs hate people and sometime bite them but everyone say “no problem”. The dogs are lazy and never work but they have home and enough food. The dogs are free to walk around and no one ask them about documentation or visa. dogs are happy because they are dog. In addition, much more items.
How about me! I am not ugly but no one loves me. I am very clever, inventor but no one helps me to study and research. I’m not dirty but no one hug me. I do not hate people, I love people and never hurt them but some people want to kill me. I’m not lazy, I can work 16 hours a day but I have no rights to work. I have no comfort place to sleep as dogs have it. I eat food once a day but dogs eat 3 times. I’m not free to walk around and travel but dogs are. I have teeth pain for 3 years, I have no money to repair it, but the dogs have free operation at good animal’s hospital. I have written rights (human rights) but dog haven’t. So I’m not happy that I’m human.
Is my life comparable with Dog’s life?
Dog’s life My life
It Has right to have food I have no right in real
It Has right to live I have no right in real
It Has right to chose its place to sleep I have no right in real
It Has right to defend of itself I have no right in real
It Has right to learn I have no right in real
It Has right to talk and make noise I have no right in real
It Has right to chose its friends I have no right in real
It Has right to be happy/ cry I have no right in real
It Has right to travel I have no right in real
It Has right to walk outside of its place I have no right in real
It Has right to worship its creator I have no right in real
It Has right to be alive I have no right in real
It Has right to have freedom I have no right in real
It Has right to have shelter I have no right in real
It Has right to have pups I have no right in real

Dog’s ability and me
I can work but dog cant. I can teach good things to people but dog cant. I can help other people but dog cant. I can give good things to people but dog cant. I’m an inventor but dog isn’t. I have many worthy inventions but dog have nothing. I have wisdom but dog have no. and much more items. That why, I wish I was a dog.

In the Holocaust, millions of people were put to death for being of the wrong religion or ethnicity, or being disabled. During the slavery in America a whole lot of Africans were sold into slavery by their fellows and forced to work under really harsh conditions.

Which was worse? I'm not saying either one was acceptable, but one has to be worse than the other.
