It’s also a great way to share your opinions/outlook on newsworthy topics. This may or may not include politics. I also think it’s cool when someone shares pictures, videos, jokes, quotes, etc. that they find funny or interesting because this provides insight into the poster’s personality.

I guess what I’m saying is that unless everyone on one’s list of “friends” is a believer (or non-believer), that postings related to “god” ought to be omitted. Just my opinion.

And yes, you’re right. Some people aren’t into blogs (for whatever reason). Nonetheless, I do think they are the ideal outlet to discuss any and all topics.

As to your question, because I myself am gay, it is like asking you, “What are your own views about the sky?” My sexuality, like the sky, is just there. In the past here in the USA, I fou nd it quite amusing to see homophobic people simultaneously stating that being gay is a choice, while also worrying that, if gay sex was to become legal (it did) young people would rush to embrace it. I live in a society that bombards people with messages overt and subliminal that heterosexual relationships are the only ones acceptable, that God will punish gays, and that society will punish them for their transgressions. Still, year after year, gay and lesbian youngsters turn into gay and lesbian adults. Don’t quite know how these straight morons thought that there’d be a rush to join the gay ranks if we made same sex relationships legal, but there never was. Just the same general flow as in past years.

And as for the canard that gay people are unhappy and suicidal, that is simply bullshit. We have the same type of relationships that straight people have. So going back to your query, I don’t think much about being gay, because I am gay. It’s when super-religious, fanatically bigoted, fundamentalist nitwits get in my face that this gay man gets enraged.

Does that answer the question? BTW, I checked to see if you were on FaceBook, but couldn’t find anyone that appeared to fit your description. If you are on FB and want to friend me, you can search for Ray Patterson. All the best. I hope you’re well.
