    It gets better unless you live in the Middle East or Africa. Then you're pretty much on your own, unfortunately. There's still a lot of bigotry and hatred towards homosexuals in this world. They're thrown off buildings in some places. As open-minded as Western countries are, most places of the world are still not very tolerant towards gays. The fight isn't over. We still have a long ways to go.

    "You weren't keeping your private life private!?" Ok, so what they're saying is it's your fault for a the verbal harassment and physical abuse you suffered at the hands of others. OIC!!! I guess all those rape victims out there should apologize for being attacked as well. Got it! #SMH. How/Where do they conjure such idiotic logic?

No most people don't! I know there is the exception but most people don't want to see that crap I wish you well and I hope you have a long healthy life but I don't agree with the lifestyle this is America and I have a right to believe what I want and so do you.

    I'm straight as a pole, and it's so disappointing when the hot guys are gay... Also, don't listen to verse reading person below. It does get better for some, not for others. It depends on how you present yourself, and in his case, he's presented himself well. You have to respect others and the way society is. In my opinion, you must understand that nothing will ever be 100% socially acceptable! the world does not go that way. Never has.

  • @dantolo29
    @dantolo29 10 років тому

    Thanks, Jake. Your words are really inspiring. +ShowthyselfApproved, don't ever comment anything like that anymore, it's super rude and it's against christianity, and it's immoral, don't ever spread satanism anywhere else because it's wrong, you don't believe in God, because God is love, you believe in Satan, because he is the representation of your hate, and everyone else's hate.

  • @TheUbermensch
    @TheUbermensch 10 років тому

    ShowThyselfApproved, You are aware the books that you're talking about, also talk about killing witches, putting rape victims to death, prohibiting shellfish, and banning masturbation as well. It's funny how most of the passages in these same books are considered obsolete or no longer relevant, yet they claim the fire and brimstone passages about gays still are relevant. Christianity is really the worse type of hate group. Mostly because it lends a degree of social acceptability and respectability to obsolete, violent, caveman, ideas. If God really thinks homosexuals and people of differing beliefs go to hell, then he is evil. I would not worship him even if he was real. But I have a little spoiler for you. These old texts about a sky wizard that tells you to hate different people are about as real and culturally relevant as myths about Zeus or Odin. Religious people should really be thought of as the intellectual children that they are. They are stupid and malicious towards anything that their stunted intellect can't understand. They hate anything modern and new, science included, as their fairy tales favor a world view that's much simpler and more easily comprehended than the one explained by science. Religious people like to think they have all the answers which really is an astronomical amount of arrogance. Then they think their dumb and culturally obsolete ideas should be forced on everyone. I would say they're children, but it's worse than that. They're dangerous people that would be quick to form a lynch mob consisting of stupid and aggressive people to destroy people that don't believe in their primitive ideas. I call them Christ-cattle for a reason. Yes, I have no tolerance for religion and the religious.... but that's mainly because they have no tolerance for anyone else. Also, the sheer amount of hatred towards homosexuals really makes you wonder if they're hatred is based on projection and scapegoating. It probably is because I can't even count how many times fire and brimstone preachers and homophobic republicans are caught in compromising positions revealing a great amount of latent homosexual behavior. Ugh, I just got trolled so bad. Showthyself is probably nothing but a very effective troll. And back on topic, kudos to you Jake Shears, you're an inspiration!

    Sin severs and distances. Regardless the Lord will and does honor those willing to struggle to do what is right and will favor anything you can bring in your heart of yourself in the intention to be closer to him. I believe it more important to love your immediate world then have the details all down. Just remember Jesus came that NONE shall die. And that ALL be saved that would be willing to accept him. Not accept me or my style or my church or anything about me or anything else I say. He just wants his people..(all people) to know there worth, live it and love. We may fight or fail but we can never outrun the outreached hand. Right or wrong he'll take you. You don't need to change anything about yourself, you'll change as a process of life itself. And if others can't accept you the lord can/will work on them. Sorry but there are ppl who think they can change you or make you better. But they cannot. In a manner of speaking you are perfect as is. Hanging in there is awesome. But a solid hope helps. Just a few thoughts. Hope someone gets helped and again. Thanks Jake your amazing...and did I mention cute?

    Well, I think from my gay friends, its more than sex... it about having a sense of equally belonging to this world. And there seems to be a miserable faction of people that will go out of their way to ensure gays are the unwanted minority. It really shouldn't be hard to be yourself... but the world isn't that civilized yet.

    Hi. Please look for the video titled 'Imagine A World Where Being "Gay" The Norm' and watch it. We aren't taking anything out the bedroom that shouldn't be. We are taking love where it needs to be.

  • @CorvusBruxo
    @CorvusBruxo 11 років тому

    If you try to tell me that kissing the person one may love the most is "scream about it" when you do the same with your opposite sex partner, then, please, don't be a coward and try to justify your homophobia blaming the other part, have some balls and say you don't like because you don't like. Plain simple.

  • @CorvusBruxo
    @CorvusBruxo 11 років тому

    Pathetic speech, boy or girl. No one is "screaming about this", but EXISTING in a welfare state also means being able to be open about something you are, like, think, feel or believe. I don't "scream" about my religion, but I have the right to wear a symbol of my faith. And that guy from that other religion too. If one person from one religion have to hide it in shame because you consider wearing it is "screaming about it", something is really fucked up and disconnected in your brain.
