I am working on a novel. It is not specifically about gay people, but there are some gay characters.
Pardoni, the pirate (and then king/conqueror):
He was born the son of a prostitute. As he was growing up he repeatedly saw his mother in situations that a child should not, and saw how sex made her emotionally desolate.
Because of his experiences in childhood, he is repulsed by the idea of hetero intercourse, but of course still has a sex drive. He turned to homosexuality, as he could have sexual relations with a man and not hate himself for making a woman desolate.

This is different to my own experience. I have always been gay, and I have really never been anything else.
I want to know, does Pardoni's turning to homosexuality because of his repulsion to hetero intercourse work? Does this actually happen, that a person can turn gay, even if they aren't simply gay?

(And what is up with my avatar? I chose a face for my avatar, then changed it. Now it alternates. Can I fix that?)

i mean, don't we all have issues and deal with them in our own way. some of us deal with them in a more positive way and others turn to negative ways. isn't wrong to generalize one group because of what some "emo" people do?

It's for my mom. I called a couple of places, but they have waiting lists that are years long. How do I get a whole list of places so that I can call all of them?

She adopted a rescue dog, provided it with training so that the dog would be a part of her family. Things didn't work out, so she gave the dog to a close friend who was looking for another dog. The kids loved the dog and the dog fit right in. The rescue agency demanded the dog back due to terms in the contract that Ellen had broken. Yes, I realize that she did break the contract, but she did find a great home for the dog. What are your thoughts?

......., our solution to all our problems. And then it turned out, along with integration, to increase our problems instead. To be an empty solution. And the uneducated "rednecks" are after all just as worthy and human as anyone else. Just as worthy as the middle-class whites who fled integration like the plague, and emptied New York of its mainstay. Without which it cannot survive.

How come you never hear anyone say there a Black Russian, or European Korean, or Chinese Brazilian?

I mean I think America is the only place that dose that.. i.e. African Americans, Mexican Americans, so forth and so on.

My brother wants to take Spanish in college but I always tell him that it is a worthless language and that he'd only be wasting his time.

I mean Spanish is only useful if you want to travel to Europe or South America or if you want to catch illegals for the border patrol.

He say's he's dream ez to advertise used vehicles to Mexicans en the Las Vegas area. I think he's crazy!

Do you recognize the things in your life that center you,
Do you turn to them when you need to?

When cruising the questions here, I have days where I can't seem to muster more than a one line response. Then I'll log on another day and see questions that just GRAB me and then can't seem to SHUT UP! :-)

i believe its absouletly wrong.
God Created Men & women to be together.
not same sex.
i dont understand why anyone would want to be gay in the first place.
homosexuality is a sin.

but we're called to love the person,
not his or her lifestyle.

Obviously, with most straight people not having to come to terms with their sexuality, this is aimed more at lesbians / gay people. How long did it take to you to come to terms with the fact that you are gay? i really cant come to terms with it and just throw myself into denial without realising. its like im having a battle with myself.

A real brother is one that loves his sister and brothers unconditionally, is he not?

It's only a hate crime if the attacker is white. Btw, I'm Asian. It's really weird in a country that is mostly white, where laws are made by whites, is so against whites. You'd never see something this dumb in Korea.

I don't think that some one is less intelligent because they do not agree with some one else. just because they do not agree does not mean they are scared of them. We do not call homosexuals "christianphobes". we should be able to disagree and still coexist.

Would like to know views from Americans, and international people.
I know hatred exists everywhere, but was wondering about this aspect of it.

Is it because of:
Beliefs?
Geographical mass?
Policies?
People?
Past and present happenings?

I'm just curious what Americans think of this word as I wouldn't say it was derogatory, just really not flattering. Is it because I'm from the UK? Do you know what I mean?

met a guy over the InterNet and fell in love with him. Later on I found out he was a bastard. I still want to sleep with him, because I am attracted to him, physically speaking, and I am in my late 20s, and I never had sex and It's high time I started.

The question is the folowing : when he comes to me should I tap into those romantic feelings, so that I will make love for my first time, or should I just have sex, no strings attatched.

Please reffrain from advice such as: you should save it for marriage/for someone that loves you back and so on. Not everybody is lucky enough to find lond on this world. Those of us who arent, work with the bad cards life has delt them with
