I understand, don't care about your father, you are much better than him ;)
Thanks Polson thats very nice of you to say so :)
thanks for sharing your experiences with us JayUK. I have lots of friends who have been through similar.. which is why I was making the point that most people would not choose to be gay, given the **** that they often have to deal with.. they just are. As for Jareck, I reckon he is in-line to become the next Jerry Springer.. I did see one once where a woman married a horse.
I dont mind sharing my experiences and i appreciate that you and others,like to at least see the other side to the coin.
But i dont think being gay is a problem its the stereotyping and views of ignorance that causes the problem and its just a sexual preference which is so badly tainted especially if you have to deal with it in a deeply religious country....i dont want to remark about religion again,as i have done before on this thread,but it certainly doesnt help the situation.
For example....say it was straight and as my family is homophobic (apart from my sister) i would most probably be saying and believing the same garbage as the other homophobes and jumping on the bandwagon of "I hate gays"
Sometimes i am ashamed of being a christian because of the sheer hatred i can stir about something it doesnt approve of and this topic is one of them.
But i was born into a christian family (Church of England) so really,im ******** to speak.
