My experience with the gay community.

My experience with the gay community has not been positive to say the least.
First off I slowly started to identify with being gay. I started to seek out friendships with other gay people.
What I found was highly disturbing. I found that friendship within the gay community was very conditional.
I found out that sex was valued over everything else.
I am a principled and moral person and I found out that if I could not be used for sex, that basically I was no use to them.
It took me awhile to figure this out, because I still believed in a live and let live philosophy and I was brought up to give the benefit of the doubt to the other person.
You see when I was first coming out I was really needing people to talk with and was needing an understanding ear from those who had been in my shoes.
My pleas fell upon deaf ears as long as I was just looking for platonic friendships.
The gay community really let me down.
All was not lost, as I have since accepted Jesus in my heart, and I have renounced homosexuality.
No longer am I friend of the gay community, no longer do I believe that they are a persecuted people.
I have seen the dark side of the gay community, and it sickens me to think that I almost fell for that trap.
I now have a good home church, I have a girlfriend, I have alot of straight friends, and most importantly I have Jesus.
Jesus has blessed me with people who care for me as an individual and a human being.
Had I stayed on the road to homsoexuality I would have had a nervous breakdown.
This is a good warning to all the young people who are contemplating a life of homosexuality--stay away, stay far, far away. Love your family, love your church. Love God, and don't value so-called sexual freedom above those who love you the most.

I love when people post blatantly false "experiences" like this, it's taken straight from the anti-gay playbook.

If you're going to make stories up, read some of the other "ex-gay" pieces here, they're still asinine, but at least they're better crafted than your fiction.

My experience is true. I sacrificed alot when I came out. Living a heterosexual lifestyle has been far more rewarding and enriching, much more than the gay lifestyle, which is built upon sex.

There are plenty more experiences I plan to share, this is just the beginning.
One thing you must understand is that when I first started experimenting with homosexuality, I was not a born again christian, I was somewhat agnostic. I was young and looking for answers. I would pray that if there was a God out there, please show me the way,
591
show me that homosexuality is the way to go, help me to find friendship and understanding within a supportive community. My prayers went unanswered and I almost became atheist.
However, after many trials dealing with the gay community and almost a nervous breakdown, I cried out to God in agony to help me, and not only did he show me that homosexuality is wrong, he blessed me with friends who value me as a human being and who are supportive and have done nothing but treat me with kindness--much more than I ever received from the gay community.

Your "experience" is nothing more than a contrived fabrication, a false fable similar to a bad afterschool propaganda special and nothing more.

You are bisexual; not gay. That's why you failed. Bisexual is entirely different from monosexual (attracted to one sex only)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosexuality

You will have better luck if you seek acceptance in the bisexual community
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexuality

My experience is true, and I plan to speak out more about it. I eventually plan to do speaking engagements in churches and community groups.

I am not bisexual, in fact most gays will vehemently say that I am gay, and that I was born gay.

I was born straight, and turned into a homosexual, the process never completed though.

Had the process completed, I would probably be on here today proclaiming that I am a gay man, and few people outside of other christians would even dare to dispute it.

I am not bisexual, never was.

I'm wondering how often the "toe tapping" comes into play.

Ah, so you're seeking to become a paid shill for the anti-gay crowd. How much do you think you're going to get paid for lying through your teeth?

The toe-tapping? Huh?

None of you are qualified to tell this guy what his experience is and is not.

I don't want any money for it, I plan to do it as part of my ministry that God has called me into.

If you were a gay man you would be unable to achieve an instinctive erection with a female. Only a bisexual man can achieve an instinctive erection with either sex.

A bisexual in denial is defined by internalized homophobia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobe
Leaning on the church is a dead giveaway

God doesn't call people to hate others and to work against them, that's your own deluded brain talking.

I've been involved with the LGBT community since 1976 and nothing about my experience mirrors yours.

1. One does not "contemplate a life of homosexuality" (sic) one either is or is not or is bisexual.

2. The Gay male community is no more sex obsessed than that of the hetero male community. On a per capita basis, hetero porn vastly outnumbers gay porn. IT IS DISINGENUOUS to even suggest we're any more sex obsessed than heteros (actually it's a lie).

3. Your happiness is NOT the responsibility of the gay community. It's yours and yours alone! Don't blame us for your failings.

4. There are, across the nation, and available on the net, lots and lots of "platonic" LGBT resources to help people with their needs. If you sought out help in bars and clubs, then you chose poorly.

5. When I came out at the age of 16, in 1976, I found a plethora of sympathetic ears that never even mentioned sex. Over the years I have found that loving, welcoming community, that welcomes all without condition, even heterosexuals.

6. Over the years, I've found the number of religious houses that accept and embrace LGBT people as full members of the community, to grow with each year. Here in L.A. there are 2 LGBT specific Jewish Synagogues and more than 2 dozen more that invite and welcome LGBT people. The number of LGBT Christian Churches far exceeds that. My husband belongs and sings in the choir of one Church that puts LGBT equality as a central principle mission.

Like you, I too intend to keep posting my experiences, actually I have been for years now.

If you have truly accepted Jesus into your heart, I'm happy for you. I only hope that you will remember his teachings when you post here, so that you post truth, without exaggeration or error.

If I was a bisexual, then why did I lose my ability to have an "instinctive" erection with women and then became "instinctively erected" by men only?

Interesting that you say you became gay when there is no existant evidence to support that. Can you tell us "how"?

You can be both a "Christian" and gay and in a loving sexual relationship. They are not exclusive to one another - unless you CHOOSE to make it so.
