Gay thoughts aren’t indicative of who you are as a person but just pushed aside until moments of symptoms we live out what is beyond us.
you think i am trying to turn myself? you are seriously fkd up, and by the way, people with sz get symptoms from lots of things could be this and it could be foriegn people but thats not really my fault is it? its a symptom of this disease, obviously i was going to get paranoid about foriegners coming to my country with all the bombings and they dont even speak our language but that is none of your business unless you want to help me with it and it sounds like you dont.
You can’t blame gay thoughts/feelings on SZ. I would understand if it was voices. Have you met a man in your life lately and you think of him a lot?
i’m hoping it will pass after gay pride week or maybe i’ll beat it back somehow, i have just met this guy at a group i started and he is gay and we both went to the theatre together for an audition then we went for lunch, was a very good day, i am a bit worried about him though bc i didnt know he was gay and then when i found out i was a bit dissapointed
Guys please keep it civil. The whole post is about trying to come to some understanding and gaining tolerance. Instead it’s turning into WW3.

I don’t mind them spreading their sexuality. I just don’t want them to spread it onto me. Sometimes they can come on too strong.
Please take a breath and maybe disengage from the media for a while and find your inner center…
Deep down you are straight… Good… know yourself and to your own self be true…
So when the intrusive thoughts come… tell them that in your heart you know they are wrong… you’re not gay.
the more we all seem to get stressed about something the more our head circus likes to amp up and hurt.
The hoopla will die down and soon people will go back to living. It’s a hot media topic right now… and it can get a bit overwhelming. No one is any more or less gay then they were last month… it’s just a very in your face media topic now.
It’s hard to disengage… but maybe write some the worst thoughts down on some paper and as you fight them… or push back against the intrusive thoughts… burn the paper.
Find the peace within yourself… you can only control you and your life…
I know it’s hard… but let the rest go.
Good luck and I hope you find some inner calm.

No one thinks your gay. The voices are ■■■■■■■■.

Straight people come on strong too.
People can come on strong. It’s not their being gay that makes them that way.
I am gay and have known so since high school. Try to think of it this way -
If you had to hide your identity forever (plus gays before you) because you feared being judged, fired, assaulted, etc would you feel the need now to express pride that you are closer to not having to deal with those things? Schiz is a lot like that too. Imagine a world where anyone with schizophrenia can freely talk about something that is bothering them or something they are proud to have accomplished - with NO fear of backlash. We are not there. But if we get there it’s something to celebrate. That doesn’t mean everyone needs to be super in your face about it - different people celebrate differently. It would be quite a victory.

I think @asgoodasitgets brings up a valid point. I refer to those who enforce support of the gay lifestyle as The Gaystapo.
I’m a wedding photographer. If a gay couple hired me I would absolutely shoot their engagement pics or wedding because being gay isn’t a big deal to me and I would be happy to bank their cheque. No problem. What IS a problem for me is bullying, which is what happened to these bakers. I don’t see how what happened to them is any different than how jocks treated me back in grade school because I didn’t care for hockey (which is very nearly a capital crime in Canada).
Going back to the gay wedding thing, if a gay couple told me that while they liked my work, they’d rather hire a gay photographer instead of me because I’m straight, I’d let it go. I don’t think it’s right to force people outside of their comfort zones. I certainly wouldn’t take them to court and force my ‘straightness’ on them. That’s bullying. Didn’t like it being done to me. Try not to do it to others (may not always succeed, but that’s what I aspire to).
So the whole notion of enforcing support for gay rights bothers me, and it reduces my support for gay marriage. Not because they are gay, but because they are behaving poorly as human beings. I will NOT support that.
My 2 cents.

Totally agreed.
Gay people and lgbt in general grow as much stereotypes to the straights as they experience it themselves.
Actually I have met a lot of gays that are tolerant and supportive only for the like minded.
Bottom line, we are all humans.
We like to abuse victim position as well.
I personally can’t see other than bigotry, that shouldn’t be encouraged, why a baker would refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple. If on the other hand the cake that was ordered was obscene in nature then I could see why the baker might refuse to make the cake.
If people want not to support gay rights then outright intimidation is wrong but I see no problems with gentle persuasion and education that might persuade some to take a less hostile stance on the issue.
People are entitled to their opinions but those should not be allowed to take precedence over the rights of a section of a society be it black,gay,mentally ill, physically disabled etc.

“I don’t get it, why are gay people bisexual?”

Go to mcdonalds and on my way out someone frustratedly says “gay people”
At a wedding reception “we’re so glad your gay… So glad you came Bryan”
“He’s soo bi”
Man my life is filled with this ■■■■. I’m not a homosexual.
I don’t really care until it interferes with me attracting women. I do alright in that regard but it often does interfere.
Straight people have this obvious quality of simple minded confidence. They have consistent character because they aren’t preoccupied with sorting themselves out. So do gay people for that matter.
Due to sz though I have no ■■■■■■■ choice but to sit their and introspect.
Bi people aren’t allowed the freedom of a valid identity.
I ■■■■■■■ hate this ■■■■ sooooo much, there is only one escape and that is being alone with women. Sometimes it seems the other guys do all they can to prevent that.
Occasionally I get some sympathy and understanding but then it just defaults back to them being judgmental assholes.
I’m smarter, taller, stronger than the lot of them. I’m just incredibly open minded and very reserved. To a fault I do these things.
Anyways, it’s a lot for a girl to look past, but it only takes one good conversation and then they don’t give a ■■■■ at all.
I say all of this to vent, but also @asgoodasitgets if I’m not gay then trust me your not gay. So relax buddy.
Real homosexual men have a strong sense from pretty early on that that is who they are. I really wish I was just so I could fit in with these people somehow.
■■■■ them though, I’ll never give up on finding the right kind of girl. I know that’s where true happiness is for me.
Thought broadcasting + sexual identity issues = a very ■■■■■■ up life experience.
End of rant. (God please send me a woman so I can be set free from this shit)(I’ve been good)
Gay Pride woohooo
I can marry a guy now
Schizo pride will have its day soon
Gonna marry a schizophrenic woman one day, I swear I don’t want to spend my life either alone or with someone who doesn’t get it. Then the kids would be totally schizophrenic. It would be terrible but great.

I think most/all straight people have the occasional ‘gay thoughts’…nothing unusual there.

It’s a traditional world though for instance if I don’t wear makeup and cut my hair real short and have a deep voice and don’t marry am I gay?
If people could only be aware that the power of those ones who have the strings of the world invests our bodies and sexuality into politics and ideologies.
That said, we’re all an experimental rats.

It’s a democratic process that takes the will and mind of the people. Laws mean nothing if not for the outcome of what is the demand. Whether it can be forced or engaged intuitively remains to be seen.
