to put some context to myself:
I am 24 year old gay (but also finding myself more bisexual) guy that lives in Michigan.
some factors that influence this post:
- have visited almost 30 countries
- is moderate in terms of politics
- believes in a god but not really religious (unless you count karma a thing)
- my family is supportive
- I work with a bunch of Muslims in sales job and my moms cleaning girl is a hardcore Christian
I am VERY inquisitive and ask many questions to these people. Everyone who is religious seems to think similar but just that their exact religion is more true. They’re all very kind but a bit cringe in the sense of being dogmatic ethnocentric. I like to pick their brains to see the way these people function but it has a negative affect on me in terms of:
- my sexuality
Since all of these people will be kind to me but look at me being gay (or bi) in terms of a lifestyle or even a demonic presence (the girl that cleans for my mom).
knowing why these people are also religious
- the Muslims are brought up in a dogmatic society that if you leave the religion or water it down you are shamed
- the girl was on full ass heroin and lived a life of stealing and drugs so her faith is what holds her on by a thread (my mom words)
makes me feel less uncomfortable but I always have these intrusive thoughts that I’m gay because a event in childhood (I have been out since 12) and now I’m growing somewhat out of it due to pornography being something that consumed my life. I have been limiting it and I still find attraction to men but women has become more apparent. I guess society is still homophobic and it rubbing off on me?
Any bisexuals want to help me?
Anyways do you have any advice?
