    Default Does a gay scene in the media affects you in a bad way?

    I am watching a PlutoTV movie that, of course, comes with commercials.

    There's this scene in this commercial where two gay guys were riding a bike together, just sharing love and happiness.

    I just saw it for the first time, I felt a very, very minor disgust rising from the bottom, no no no the BOTTOMEST OF THE BOTTOMEST of the pits of Hell.

    "What the fuck?", I said. Then I realized I was raised that way and it's ingrained into my personhood since childhood.

    "Yo that's how some people, especially honest Christian Republicans, were raised", I pontificated.

    "Yup it is not their fault how they feel about it. It was how they were raised in a Fundamentalist Christian homes", nodding yes as I was thinking it.

    Yo yep one of the sources of guilt, hatred, disgust, feeling sick, sinful, wanting to eliminate them (in this context, the source of the feelings), and so on.

    So yuppers they are scared and afraid and they are extremely afraid of it.

    They are now working gay couples into virtually every series on t.v.. My GF and I laugh whenever two guys are making out during a show. I don't care about their sexuality, but watching dudes kiss romantically kind of makes us laugh. In an 'eeewww' kind of way.

    But...there's someone for everyone. Some people like skinny/heavy mates, and if you like the former you don't understand the attraction to the latter.

    We don't judge, but it's still a little odd right now.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I understand. The point of my OP is that certain people born in the 50's to 70's were raised to feel that way. Hence the reason we have what we have today.

    It isn't their fault so we should be careful to accuse them of hate and whatnot.

    Once we grow up, we realize that we, along with everyone else, are attracted to a specific type. Once you grasp the fact that you have no control over who you are attracted to, you accept homosexuality without judgement.

    Which doesn't make it less weird for us to watch, even if there is no judgement .

    Honestly, I don't need to see anyone making out in the middle of a crime drama. No matter the gender.

    It is not about realization. Again it seems that I am not clear with my point.

    Which doesn't make it less weird for us to watch, even if there is no judgement .k
    Again, it is not about judgment. It is about how certain people, both straight and gay, were raised. It's like growing up in any cult, say Mormonism, Even if they escaped a cult, it still sticks to them for the rest of their lives. It takes time to recover.

    Honestly, I don't need to see anyone making out in the middle of a crime drama. No matter the gender.
    No clue what you are talking about.

    Wasn't raised that way, born in 50' raised in the 50's and 60's never thought or taught to hate about it we knew kids who were gay , maybe a white christian American thing

    You are very lucky. The Fundamentalist Christianity was the main religion at that time (60 to 80). (Course there are the next religions that are close to it). The Moral Majority was the height of it. As I have stated many times, I attended Liberty University. One of the requirements was that I have to go to Thomas Road Baptist Church every Sunday morning. There was one particular Sunday when my mom and other relatives came to visit me and we all went to Jerry's service on that period where the "Don't ask, don't tell" shit started under the Clinton Administration. As we were listening to Jerry bitching about Clinton (uh huh where have we ever heard that before???), he started talking about that policy after ranting about gay this, gay that. Then he made a weird movement.

    To be continued......

    Was it some kind of evil eye gesture?

    I was raised as a Lutheran by devout parents; never once heard anything about homosexuality, hate, or any of that from our pastor.

    If my parents disapproved of homosexuality, I was never aware of it. I was taught to love everyone.

    My dad disapproved and apparently believed that gay men were also child molesters. My uncle (mom's brother) was gay and had a significant other. He moved from Fire Island (NYC) to live with grandma in Grand Rapids when he realized he was dying. His SO, Max, came with him to take care of him. On one of our visits there, my sister and I waited out in the car while mom and dad went in their house to drop something off. Max saw us sitting out there and came out and gave us some little toys he had -- plastic jewelry and stuff. He was German and had a charming accent, and talked to me in German since I was taking it at school. Suddenly my dad rushed out, enraged, and grabbed Max by the shirt and dragged him away from the car window, screaming at him to "get away from my daughters." It was the only time I ever saw him be violent. I felt really bad for Max. Guess my mom did too, because later on she gave me Max's address (after my uncle had died). We exchanged letters for a couple of years. I guess he must have passed away too because the letters stopped.
