re: Spinoff thread: How many of you have had a gay in person shove sexuality in your face vs.

Is this a cry for help?

I live in a liberal city in a liberal county.
Christian churches have crosses out front.
Liberal churches have rainbows with the cross out front.
I have never seen a private house with a cross but I see tons of houses with rainbow flags.
Working in a public school daily we have announcements for the Gay straight alliance club. Librarians all have rainbows on and many stickers are on the doors of the school for various classrooms.
The newspapers generally cover LGBTQ issues at a much higher rate than is needed.

Just dont go to church and dont watch Sunday services and you dont get Christian influence. Meanwhile the LGBTQ influence seems to be everywhere.

Christians doing it right should be trying to evangelize you with gospel .... not even touching on LGBTQ issues. They would be doing this for you, not themselves.

LGBTQ is over represented in culture. That is what people on this site would be complaining about. And it is all about self celebration and you must join in or be ostracized from culture.

Dude, we get it. You, your son, or even the both of y’all are gay. It’s fine baw, we aren’t going to stone yall to death like Muslims would.

I had to call on a CVS in a business capacity one time.

The 60s something year old assistant manager literally introduced himself with, "Hi, I'm Walter and I'm gay."

I really didn't know what to say. I didn't know if he was hitting on me or what. He wasn't

I had to call on them several more times. I got to know him well. He was a great person.

Turns out he was married for 40 years and always hid that he was gay. He said he always knew, but never once cheated on his wife.

He had about 4 grown kids and was worried about coming out to them. Ex in laws forced his hand by threatening to tell them. He beat them to the punch and told his kids. Said that after his children know, he didn't care anymore. They were the only ones that mattered and they all took it in stride.

As far as religion goes? No one shoves religion in your face like an atheist shoving their religion of non-belief on everyone else.

It's ok for other people to shove my beliefs in folks faces but not ok for other people to shove their beliefs in my face.

It must be awful for complete strangers to care about you.

That's why you think people proselytize?

Had a random dude on campus walk up to me one afternoon while leaving one of the Engineering buildings and asked me if I was gay. He prefaced it with "Quick question man, but don't get mad when I ask you". I was slightly shakened up for about a week, constantly wondering if I was giving off some sort of gay vibe.

My Fugly little sister came out to us as Bi at our Christmas Dinner.

Despite what you see on TV, Christians outnumber homosexuals by a landslide, so I would imagine you would run into a lot more Christians on a daily basis, which would make this scenario plausible.

I would ignore both.

Christian's come at me with their religious beliefs in numerous ways... Knock on my door, shout at me on streets

The street shouters aren’t really Christians, but you knew that.
