Happy Pride Month everyone!

    I'm happy that you made this video! I've been asking myself recently what my sexuality is. But ive come to the conclusion that i am bi or pan. Im attracked to both men and women. But now im wondering if im gay, considering im "maybe" very close to being in a gay releationship currently "Yay:)". But the question I'm wondering, is exactly the points you mentioned. I feel like life is an adventure, and that no matter who i fall in love with. I think they are the right one for me, maybe i am the right one for them too.

    Well done analysis on the nuanced changes in the Church's attitude toward gay people and gay relationships. Perhaps time for an update with recent changes in allowing for the blessing of gay couples?

    I very much enjoy and appreciate your channel. Thanks for the history lesson on drag but I don't think children should be exposed to drag queens. There are plenty of other ways to expose kids to creativity and artistry that are not sexualized. As a gay Catholic man, I think drag is kind of gross and weird.

  • @TRoadRunner
    @TRoadRunner 10 днів тому

    Well done! As a gay Catholic man, I prefer the term gay. I am older so the word "queer" is an insult to me. Also, the term "queer" can mean almost anything nowadays. I agree that the term "same-sex attracted" sounds clinical and a condition to be treated. Thanks for the video!

  • @TRoadRunner
    @TRoadRunner 10 днів тому

    Thanks for the history lesson! The current gay pride events need to get back to the principles of Stonewall talking equality and acceptance rather than displays of sexual debauchery.

    its just the outside pressure... u get used to being straight since young age ns suddenly catch feelings for someone from same gender ... nd u dont even understand it or that its "wrong" . i had a crush on my friend nd i wanted to kiss them nd just be with them even bfr knowing anything about sex however after three years of struggling nd playing around w same gender i finally met the one nd im not anti romantic as i thaught .. i fell in love so hard ! maybe till now i still dk if im bi or gay but fr gay side wins! cuz w opposite gender i only find lil things attractive nd i cant even think of making love w them.. so i guess i got the answear . nd guys dont come out to your parents if u already know how they gon react.. thank you for making this video !!

    The image of men while men have sex with women is not uncommon. It does not make you gay. It is how you felt in the moment with the women?

    2:44 my friend asked me if he was gay because one time he was at a small gathering that was really wild. He watched 2 of his friends "being together" and got aroused. I asked him if he wanted to be involved or if he ever wanted to kiss a man or hold his hand and marry him and spend the rest of his life with him. He said no. I told him that i thought it was pretty normal to get an erection in that situation and he certainly wasnt gay

    this whole thing straight up makes no sense but i searches this up, mainly because how ridiculous it seems to me to even make this video. it's as simple as 1+1. you want to be inside of a woman... your eyes roll towards female bodies, their breasts and their bum... then you're damn straight. If not, you're either asexual or homosexual.

    As someone below 18 (id like to keep my specific age private.), i keep feeling as if being gay is just 'inappropriate' as everryone else in my school is straight, and also because sexual orientation isnt exactly the most popular subject in my age group.
