Every accusation is a confession. Also it's funny to think everyone is a latent homosexual all they need is to come in contact with another homosexual to activate their homosexuality.
Many of them think being gay is a choice because they are bisexual. So for them it's a choice on whether or not to act on it. So they project that it's a choice for everyone.
It would be simpler to not be a bisexual. Why choose to make life harder?
Considering all the other things they consider temptations, if it's half as fun as everything else they hate, I might have to try this being gay thing!
I’ve got a couple of gay friends, and after I’ve spent time with them, my homo be raging.
It's sort of true. If you have been raised to suppress your wants of people of the same sex, being confronted with things that you find arousing and forbidden makes that suppression hard. That is, you are now aware that you are gay.
Only their balls though. It's only gay if the balls touch.
Again, everything that a conservative says or thinks is projection. They tell on themselves constantly.
I think it's more that "these people" didn't used to 'exist' in their world: Sexual minorities weren't talked about and were invisible for the most part. But since Stonewall and AIDS, LGBT+ people first decided and then learned not to hide themselves. Suddenly someone who you thought of as normal has 'become' gay. You obviously knew them well, it's not possible they were hiding something from you, and there's no chance your observations were incorrect - clearly, instead of you being wrong, something happened to them, something 'turned them gay' - it must have been the frogs, or music, or DnD, or something, it's just impossible you were wrong!
If you can be converted to being gay, then you were always gay. It’s like if you have to pray the gay away, you are gay my guy
Everyone's at least a bit gay.
I might not like all cocks, but I certainly like mine.
When cuntservatives say they are afraid of being 'gay converted', what they are really saying is 'I'm setting up a defense early in case someone catches me on camera servicing a glory hole at the truck stop like I do every sunday after church.'
No but fr have you tried being left handed?
Dont try to drag me into your sinister, ink stained agendas!
Hey if you prefer they can be graphite-stained

I have and it's amazing!
Also we actually have forced left handed people to become right-handed.
Weird I've heard about this from so many countries, from Japan to almost every communist country.
The US did it too for a while. The justification seems to have been something to do with left-handed versus right-handed brain processing or something like that. They were worried that they were going to get a generation of artists and poets and that no one would actually do anything industrial.
Also there's something in the Bible about people having left hands being agents of the devil, although it seems to only be in certain editions.
The idea that left-handed people are more artistic than right-handed people has been debunked for years now and yet it's still something people seem to think is true.
Happened to my mother. In the US, in the 30s.
Did me until 2nd grade. That teacher gave me left handed scissors with a laugh.
Similarly, lots of parents of Deaf children were told not to teach them sign language.
One day, 2 Church persons tried to talk to me about Jesus-guy, I bet them in and talked about 2 hours about free choice, real science and evolution. Tried to "discuss" it like they do it, just don't let other arguments be valid and come back to the same shit again and again. I didn't let them go until they almost panicked. Never heard from them again. Btw they didn't touch their tea, hmm. I really tried to convert them to self-thinking, I still hope, something stays with them.
Its always just projection
This is an asinine take on Christianity. What’s the point here?
The vast majority of Christians in the world don’t do this and don’t think like this. Hateful people are going to hate what is different no matter its form.
If you labeled this “Muslims openly behead gays because they believe gays would do the same” the post would be just as inane as it is in its current state.
Hate is hate.
Strange we rarely hear from the vast majority or least the vast majority doesn't speak out to condemn their hateful brothers and sister, in fact I've yet to meet one of these open and accepting Christians in my 44 years on this earth and I live in a heavily populated christian city.
The vast majority rarely speak on anything.
I’m sorry you’ve never met one of these “open and accepting” Christians. I haven’t met someone who’s been to the IST, but I know people have been there. I think it would be nice if you open your mind to the idea that there are people that exist that you’ve not met.
The point is projection.
I argue that you are making an asinine general assumption.
The American evangelicals that are screaming about gays and abortions do not represent all Christians. Just as I wouldn’t want everyone outside of the US to judge me by the actions of one American like Donald Trump, it is not right to assume Christian = hateful.
This post serves no purpose. There are better ways to get your fake internet points.
Hi: Theistic Christian here.
Worship who/what you want and marry who you love and be kind to everyone. Even the people you don't like. Trans people are people and good deeds don't get you into heaven.
Then what gets you into heaven?
If you are a Christian, by Salvation alone as a gift that no man can earn, given by great sacrifice by someone who dearly loves us.
If you are not a Christian, then Romans 2:14,15 basically says 'Those not of the faith will be judged by their hearts and conscience, because it is not hearing the rules that makes you saved'
"Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Gaysus Bi-st?"
Gaysus fucking Bi-st that's a good one!
If you try really hard and really want it, you too can be 6',5"
That's a big strawman
Idk. Fallacy and logic checks makes sense in the context of debate. The context of this post is not a debate (I personally see it more like a showerthought).
It is just a theory, but I do think it's a pretty good one. I don't know if there's any way to prove it.
That’s a big strawman
Off topic: I like to put Lemmy posts or comments into the LLMs and see what it comes back with.
The two examples Gemini provided for straw man where around the topics of gun control, and renewable energy.
It's like there's a ton of terrible arguments around the internet for these two topics /s There are.
I mean there is a benefit to convert someone to your sexuality (you fugg'em) but the very sentence I wrought there sounds insane and outlandish I don't understand how you would go about that.
There's also the problem of some religious conservatives not realizing that straight people exist.
According to conservative psychologists like Paul Cameron or James Dobson, gay sex is a huge "temptation" that people must learn to resist; they worry that it would be the downfall of society if more people chose to succumb to that temptation. They might blame that temptation on Satan directly, or on LGBT+ propagandists, or liberalism; but they very much seem to believe that anyone could choose to be gay.
Sorry, no, that's not how straight people work.
If you experience gay sex as a strong temptation, you're just not straight. That's okay! Quite a lot of people are straight, and are just not interested in having gay sex. If all the people who are "tempted" to have gay sex went and did so, there would still be lots of straight people left having lots of straight sex.
The odd part is that these conservative psychologists then teach this doctrine of "gay sex is a strong temptation for everyone" to an audience composed of mostly straight people.
