• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey sweetie...it must have taken a lot of courage to post something like that. I know when I came out as bi to my mom I was terrified even though she saw it as a complete non-issue (I think her exact words were, "Okay, thanks for telling me. I have to start laundry now")
Best of luck to you, don't let anyone get you down!


Wow. You're very lucky to hve a mom like that. Mine wasn't quite as nonchalant about my coming out. :(


Well, since there are cases of homosexuals gaining victory over this area of their lives, marrying and having happy, loving marriages, I'd have to say that your statement is wrong. Homosexuals can turn, as there are books and radio segments of personal experiences.

My thoughts on "recovered" homosexuals are that the homo in question was probably more bisexual than exclusively homosexual. This could explain how some are able to change, but others (exclusively queer) cannot.

That's an interesting theory. I suppose that, over time, research will be done and we'll eventually find out how that works.

I agree and often wonder why more research on that particular theory hasn't been done.

I'm sorry you didn't have such a good experience coming out...to my mom and family it's really like saying "Hey mom, I have blue eyes" or something like that. Also I think she suspected I was gay or bi since I was pretty small.

Hi! I've just read your thread.... It's a great post. :) There's nothing wrong about being gay, it's just who you are... I hope that you will find the true love of your life, no matter what their gender is, and that you'll be happy. :hug: Loving another person is always good, no matter what some people say. I believe that when two people sincerely love each other, it's a sign that God brought them together. And I hope your tooth is ok now :)

Well, since there are cases of homosexuals gaining victory over this area of their lives, marrying and having happy, loving marriages, I'd have to say that your statement is wrong.

"have kids" = "no more homosexual feelings/desires", or

"have kids" = "repress their desires"?

For all I know, it's always the second option. Which makes the claim "your statement is wrong" somewhat questionable.

If I force myself to never again have sex, does this make me an asexual if I still have these desires? Frankly, no.
