View Full Version : homophobia
Asguard 11-03-02, 10:16 PM Ok there was a girl who liked me so much she said she wanted to marry me and have my children ect
today i decided to stop hiding the fact that i am bi from everyone and i decided to tell her thinking it wouldnt even matter
she told me never to talk to her again and acted like
i am not going to post the whole convo but here is some exstracts
Rebecca: yah well you did
Rebecca: dont tell me im shallow!
Rebecca: dont even talk to me
Rebecca: ur mean]
Rebecca: yah ok
Rebecca: dont turn this on me
Rebecca: its not my fault
Rebecca: im not the ones WHOS BI!
how could she?
i mean i wouldnt cheat on her with anyone male OR female
*crys*:(
NightFall 11-03-02, 11:04 PM and i decided to tell her thinking it wouldnt even matter
can only imagine what gave you that impression. LOL
And yet people still wonder ...
Welcome to it, Avatar.
I live in a different situation: I have an ex-girlfriend who is convinced not that I'm gay but that I am a woman; that's what cracks me up so much about gender insults around here. I also have a girlfriend--among other titles of dubious respect--who actually asked me to have sex with a guy so she could see it. And I do recall a wild bisexual night in a hotel somewhere that slips my mind. It has to be at one of two places, given who all was around; but that makes ... three women I've dated who (A) would not leave, and (B) thought I should be screwing guys.
It never makes sense.
Not ever.
On the other hand, my actual family probably only wonders, if even that. My mother is convinced that one of my best friends is gay; she might, actually, be right, as I'm finding out these days. But he'll never admit to it, and what's actually funny is that my mother generally assumed that all my friends corrupted me; it would never occur to her that it was the other way around. Generally speaking, even if they thought I was capable of doing guys, they would probably be in denial.
Let's put it this way, though: No matter how in love you fall, no matter how much the world seems on your side, if your partner can't screw, the relationship is doomed. And, frankly, if she can't deal with that simple deviation from her expectations, I doubt the fun stuff involving custom-designed equipment, bodily produce, and hordes of clown-midgets would fly except when it hit the fan.
The heart will mend, the conscience find its ease. But the raging boner shall never falter.
Go with what feels good. Anyone else has a problem with it, well, it's their own damn problem.
thanx,
Tiassa :cool:
Asguard 11-05-02, 01:43 AM im ASGUARD not avatar
and it would have been cheating either way so what difference does it make??????
i told my best friend and i didnt even have to say it cause he said he has known for 3 months
wierd cause I havent known that long
Asguard 11-05-02, 06:24 AM ok here is a really strange thing
i have been having a REALLY bad day cause i found out my best friend has liver and kidney damage so i was drinking myself drunk and blurted it out to mum amoung other things (like that my best friend is a drug dealer)
and she goes if u have never done anything how do u know???
how stupid R people
i knew i wasnted to screw a girl before i did too
how dose every vergin know
and as if she wanted me to answer that question ANYWAY "er mum its cause i have a desire to suck a guy off" how stupid are people
and then she is like make sure ur careful cause its worse for that
well thanks mum i am more likly to get aids if i have one partner of either sex than my brother who brings home a new GF every week
i cant belive the stupidity of people
yeah it is ASGUARD not Avatar
I can't believe she did that to you Az
You did nothing to her but tell her the truth.
Whatever happened to people liking honesty in relationships today? Has that been thrown out of the window too?
Azi, you have done nothing wrong, absolutly nothing wrong. I think you did the right thing by telling her
*shakes head in disbelief*
Asguard: why would she react like that?:(
i mean i wouldnt have cheated on her either way
zvirbulvanags: because she got to know that there is no future relationship with you
zvirbulvanags: you destroyed her plans
zvirbulvanags: you said for yourself she wanted kids from you and all- now you say you are a bi- that means that you don't want to have wth her anything more than a friendship (I know no girl that would like to see another man as her boyfriend's "friend")
zvirbulvanags: it hurt her because she wanted smthing more and she wanted you all for herself and not to share you with any other - especially a guy
Asguard 11-05-02, 04:45 PM *jumps up and down*
i am BI avatar
i like both
just like u like red heads and blonds
fact that i like redheads doent mean i cant screw a blond happerly
zvirbulvanags: it hurt her because she wanted smthing more and she wanted you all for herself and not to share you with any other - especially a guy still remains
Asguard 11-05-02, 04:51 PM who said anything about sharing?????
cause i like girls doesnt mean she would have to share me with another girl
same applies
Av, I'd have to agree with Azi
Being Bi-Sexual doesn't mean you just like men. You like both men and women.
because she got to know that there is no future relationship with you
But there was, and if she see's her error, they may still be a chance
you destroyed her plans
She destroyed them herself
it hurt her because she wanted smthing more and she wanted you all for herself and not to share you with any other - especially a guy
It was self inflicted pain she is feeling. She over reacted BIG TIME
Avatar, the BI in Bi-Sexual must have given it away. Bi means two. He hasn't got a preference when it comes to gender. I say 'Good for him' and I support him all the way.
I see nothing wrong with either Homosexuals or Bi-Sexuals, but I must point out that I am neither (just to avoid confusion)
I don't say I have smthing against any homos or whatever -
I just told what that girl very probably had felt
Merlijn 11-05-02, 04:59 PM why is the title to this thread "homophobia"?
Asguard 11-05-02, 05:01 PM because it was about that girls reaction
Av, she had no reason to feel that way, she overreacted in a major, major way
And the Homophobia title thing, its cos she seems very Homophobic
Merlijn 11-05-02, 05:07 PM Hmm, maybe I come from planet Zw*r!k....:bugeye:
Av, she had no reason to feel that way, she overreacted in a major, major way
you sure? but I'm almost 100% positive that that is how a girl could have felt
Merlijn 11-05-02, 05:15 PM I once had a bisexual gf. Maybe your first reaction is: wow, did you have a threesome?
In fact, I wasn't really comfortable with it at first. I experienced it as a threat to the relationship.
It's like saying to your brunette gf that you actually prefer blondes.
Only after a while, I came to accept that it was not a threat to the reationship any more than she possibly being attracted to other guys. I know it's irrational, but apparently when it comes to love, we just are irrational.
And it would be homophobia if she had physically attacked you, or threatened you, or had she shown any other agressive raection. This was the reaction of a girl being hurt.
I can understand that.
a more personal note: Asguard, i do not think it is appropriate to get into the detail of showing the world her acual name. Please edit it.
you sure? but I'm almost 100% positive that that is how a girl could have felt
But there is no reason to feel that way. It shouldn't have made a difference at all. If she had said she was a little uncomfortable with the idea and said she'd need a little time to get used to it, sure, thats the responce I'd have given. But she blew up for no reason imo
I can't imagine how Azi must feel. atm I say who cares how the girl must have felt.
Anthony has all my sympathy and I just hope she see's that she over reacted and they patch things up.
As I've said before, Anthony has done nothing wrong. Its like saying she found out he was 5'9" and said 'I can't be with anyone that height'. Ant has done nothing by telling her the truth about himself. He is not responcible for her reaction.
Again, if she is hurt and feeling pain, it is self-inflicted
Apologies extended.
Problem diagnosed: Sobriety.
Proposed solution: Send weed, now. Airlift if possible.
thanx,
Tiassa :cool:
I dont think this is helping any but I am also bi.
CounslerCoffee 11-13-02, 12:10 AM how could she?
i mean i wouldnt cheat on her with anyone male OR female
Im not bi but I know the difference between right and wrong. And what you did Asguard was wrong. You hid the fact that you were bi. You didnt tell her or anybody else that you were bi until you decided that you liked her that much.
But if she loves you that much then she'll come back to you. Unless she feels that betrayed, I know I would.
NightFall 11-13-02, 01:07 AM And what you did Asguard was wrong. You hid the fact that you were bi. You didnt tell her or anybody else that you were bi until you decided that you liked her that much.
there are certain things you just don't go around shouting to the world. this is one of them.
And what you did Asguard was wrong. You hid the fact that you were bi. You didnt tell her or anybody else that you were bi until you decided that you liked her that much
He told me, and plenty of other people
And I thought I was the only one! :D:D
There's bi's and queens coming out of the woodwork lately.
I just wonder where everyone gets the idea that asguard was wrong or bad.
And to answer CCs comment, maybe As did the right thing in waiting until he felt sure of this womans feelings before divulging his orientation.
The reason being that just telling everyone right away results in stigma and comments and judgement such as yours.
Being Gay or Bi or fuckin orange is nobody's problem. The problem only begins when other people feel they have the right to judge an individual as bad.
Check your own shit people it stinks just like ours does!!
I suspect Asguard and Bbcboy are really closet heterosexuals...
*bbcboy yawns at tired old lines from someone who talks about the closet FAR TOO MUCH!*
Pfft! Old stupid jokes are the only ones I know. I explored my closet years ago and found the thing full of dusty old cobwebs.
Asguard 11-13-02, 07:27 AM actully to tell the truth the only person who knew when i met her was my best friend
I didnt know
hell i STILL dont know
but then if u spend all ur early teenage years thinking about kissing whatever guy happens to be in the room at the time and ur late ones thinking about sucking a cock what else r u?????
i know i am not gay thats the only thing i AM sure of
i like girls WAY to much for that
PS if u dont like how blunt that was to bad, this is my thread so get over it (especially as i am the one who u would complaine to, power rocks:D)
Asguard 11-13-02, 07:31 AM bbc ur a bad influance on me:p
and nightfall ur right
telling the wrong person that is a quick way to land in hospital unfortunatly, no matter WHAT the laws say
i am not that nieve that i tell ANYONE everything about me
all she needed to know was i was atracted to HER
hell if i like red heads does that mean i cant date a blond????
While we're dragging out tired old lines I'm sure I said this before but why is it so necessary for you to have a label asguard?
Surely it makes more sense to simply call yourself 'sexual' a healthy, normal 'sexual' person.
We all have attractions to other people male or female and those who deny this are simply afraid of the things I mentioned in my first post on this thread.
Those attractions aren't always sexual. I've had lots of realtionships with both sexes and seem to have gravitated naturally toward men. They make me feel better. more comfortable in my self. not as opposed to women, just in comparison with them.
Be at peace with yourself and only take advice if it's needed. Peoples opinions are transient at best. As is there presence in your life.
Those who are meant to stay with you will do so!
Deep breaths!! and kiss who ya damn well please:D
Why hide anything about yourself?
I don't volunteer my favourite food or drink out of the blue, but neither to I hide such information. Don't be a sissy. Hiding and being fearful of how others will treat you is basically going into relationships with a head full of lies. Very silly.
And, if anyone does really give you a problem about it, kick 'em in the nuts!
erm.. It was a girl Adam (They don't have them, which is part of the problem!!) :p :rolleyes: :D
Well, you can't hit girls (it's in the Adam rulebook), but for other people it works.
CounslerCoffee 11-13-02, 10:30 AM He told me, and plenty of other people
Your missing my point here. He told everyone else, he didnt tell her until he knew for sure that she liked him. That changes everything. Had you told her early on then it would of been okay, but when you get her to like you and then you say "I like men to" it makes a difference. It probably didnt help that you said "I wouldnt ever cheat on you". She probably thinks that you already have.
Dont feel bad. I hope I didnt hurt your feelings or anything. Its just the way that you describe the situation makes it look like your the bad guy. Your not a bad guy, what you did in the way that I see it though was wrong.
NightFall 11-13-02, 03:32 PM i thought he started off by telling her. i thought she was the first one he told.. but either way..
If i met a guy, who didn't know, and i thought it might bother him, i would wait to see if it was even going to be worth telling him or if the relationship wouldn't go anywhere anyway for two reasons:
1. why make a big deal out of it, if your realtionshiop isn't going to last anyway.
2. Maybe they will love you enough to understand you nstead of just turing the otherway.
Asguard 11-14-02, 04:32 AM it didnt help???
why would it make any difference AFTER she told me never to THINK about her again
and i bet there r thinks u have told ur best friends before ur BF
i didnt tell her simply because I didnt know
once I was sure (i asume its ok if i know before her *sarcasum*) i did tell her
and do u tell every guy u pick up ur life story when u first date ANYWAY????
adam its a bit different, the fact that ur obsesed with pizza wont get u killed and its a hell of a lot easier for u. NO one in there right mind would pick a fight with u

Being bisexual won't get you killed or bashed either, unless you're in Saudi Arabia or something. Or does that crap still happen?
Asguard 11-14-02, 07:20 AM yes
unfortunatly it does
NightFall 11-14-02, 10:37 AM Being bisexual won't get you killed or bashed either, unless you're in Saudi Arabia or something. Or does that crap still happen?
I have a very good freind who is bi, and his b/f was beat to death last year by a bunch of guys that knew him. so yes, people do get killed over it.:mad:
edit: and no, this was not in detroit either, it was in a normal little town like all the rest.
CounslerCoffee 11-14-02, 11:25 AM Im from Louisville and there are tons of bi/gay people here. Asguard if you just found out that your bi and then told her that you know for sure that your bi then you should of told her that you were thinking about it.
I'm amazed that such crap still happens. I thought maybe people were starting to get over it.
p_ete2001 11-14-02, 06:16 PM today i decided to stop hiding the fact that i am bi from everyone and i decided to tell her thinking it wouldnt even matter But Asguard. I dont think that makes u bisexual. Isnt the word bisexual?? Isnt it about the sex? like someone said, if u fancy other guys then yeah, u fancy other guys. There isnt a label for everything.So u fancy other guys but ur with her right!? Well if u were with her and u fancied other girls would it make any difference? In fact im sure u did but u didnt mention it. I dont think u should have mentioned it if like u said u werent going to cheat on her. Maybe if things changed and there was a guy who you really had strong feelings for then maybe you could have talked about it with her. Dont mean to put you down.Just my view.
NightFall 11-15-02, 02:43 PM ^
does that mean that a virgin is asexual? lol. ;)
Asguard 11-18-02, 01:20 AM i finally talked to her again

This is what stood out to me. Ant, you can't help feeling what you feel. She doesn't seem to have her priorities in the right order. And she isn't right. Anyone who says different doesn't understand the concept of free will!!
I'm still angry at what she did to you Ant :mad:
It was a very immature thing for her to do!!
Rock On

I think your being too hard on her Asguard, she doesn't sound that bad to me. It's not like she's shunning you, she just doesn't feel comfortable dating someone whose bi. Alot people hesitate about dating a person who is bi because they feel the person may be confused sexually, or they don't fit into the image that attracted them anymore. Also, there is a difference in how bi women are viewed as compared to bi men. I don't know many guys who would care if their girlfriend was into women, hell, most would see it as a plus.:D But most women I've heard, view bi guys as gay. Its a hard sell for a guy to sleep with another guy and say he isn't gay. Not saying its right, but it's a hard thing for people to comprehend.
They'll be other chicks who will come along, no sense in losing a friend over this. I would accept her apology and move on, a good freind is a lot harder to find than a good girlfriend.
p_ete2001 11-18-02, 12:09 PM i still think u should go round there and kill her asguard.Smash her face in with a glass. Try to put the glass actually through her face.
I think your being too hard on her Asguard
I'd have to disagree with you, she totally over-reacted and I sympathise with Ant totally
p_ete2001 11-18-02, 12:16 PM Pete: That was a bit insensitive of you. Where's your heart? I havent got one.
static76 11-18-02, 12:28 PM I'd have to disagree with you, she totally over-reacted and I sympathise with Ant totally
She did overreact, but she also apologized to Asguard for doing it. If she's not into bi guys, that's her choice. I just don't think this is worth losing a friendship over.
p_ete2001 11-18-02, 01:13 PM Just move on. Shes not worth wasting ur time over.Im sure you could have your pick of girls when uve got her out of your head. You sound like a sensible, clever, funny, well-rounded indivual. Forget about her!
If she's not into bi guys
That's her problem, not Ant's!!
Its obvious you don't fully comprehend what Ant has been through lately, this latest incident is like kicking someone when they're down!!
But Ant, thats no reason to be discouraged. You should have some extra confidence from your new job. Its always a rocky road to happiness
Rock On
Thor
static76 11-18-02, 07:47 PM That's her problem, not Ant's!!
I agree Thor, I'm not saying that Asguard's wrong in this matter. I just don't think this is worth throwing away a friendship, especially when there's many other fish in the sea.
Novody has to like everything. If she isn't attracted to bisexual guys, that's her choice. What, you think you should say "You should be attracted to bi guys", and she should rpetend she is and go out with you? Screw that. Her choice. People have preferences, and now you know hers. You kept youre preferences from her; and amazingly, when you finally told her the truth about your preferences, she told you of hers.
Hang on Asguard... You say it's a proven scientific fact that sexual preference is determined before 5 years of age? I was under the impression it is determined in early adolescence. But tat's beside the point. You are saying "It's not my fault, it's biology!" How is that supposed to change her sexual prefence to include bisexual guys? Are you trying to change her sexual preference to something you approve of?
Basically, on the one hand you are saying that your sexual preference is based on biology, using that as a defence against what she says; then you say she should change her sexual preferences. That's unfair and very contradictory.
I think he was arguing with her regarding her 'nobody is born gay' comment.
I don't know either individual in this case. But, I would have to say move on, Asguard. It's gotta be tough to lose the one you love, but you weren't honest with her, and you have to accept her decision. And, like others have said, you'll eventually find someone who's ok with your sexuality...just make sure you don't hide anything next time, or you'll be heading down the same path. Lay all of your cards out on the table, and the next time someone accepts you as you are, you'll be happy.
NightFall 11-18-02, 10:10 PM Hang on Asguard... You say it's a proven scientific fact that sexual preference is determined before 5 years of age? I was under the impression it is determined in early adolescence
early adolescence.. as in.. pre-teen years? ill have to disagree. first girl/girl expirience: age 8.......
first girl i ever seduced...;)
But asguard, you may find it easier to be in a relationship with someone else who is bi. they will be more understanding. if you are with a straight girl, and you try to explain to her that you are attracted to other guys, she will want to know why she isn't supposed to be... but if you are with a bi girl, and you are attracted to other guys, she wont be as.. alarmed... because she is attracted to other girls, and she will understand much better.
*Xev pokes her head in to yell*
Agree with Nightfall. My first "sexual experience" with another female was in fourth grade.
I don't think sexuality is ever fully formed. I know that certain of my attitudes towards sex have remained constant from a rather young age.
Now, Anth, forget her. If she's unwilling to be a friend 'cause you're bi, she isn't worth being friends with. If she's unwilling to be a girlfriend because you're bi, she's not going to change and there's nothing for you to do.
NightFall 11-18-02, 10:57 PM Agree with Nightfall. My first "sexual experience" with another female was in fourth grade.
-raises an eyebrow-.. ?!?!?! is your name amanda??? lmao
Not unless you're a Pakistani immigrant, Nightfall. :)
NightFall 11-18-02, 11:59 PM nope, i think ill just stick to being a red haired greeneyed american. lol:eek:
p_ete2001 11-19-02, 03:50 AM Agree with the women. First ever experience was 9 (witha girl BTW). Many experiences with different girls up till 16/17.
First (and only) experience with a lad (best mate)- 17. If shes reacted so hostile ant maybe we should question why!!! :bugeye: I could understand it more if she just wasnt comfortable but to be so 'anti-' it!? :bugeye:
Much is being said around Ant's supposed dishonesty, yet he plainly states in a previous post that as soon as he knew.. she knew.
The amount of confusion sexuality puts us thru is phenominal.
If this thread proves anything it's the old saying
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
Anyone who sailed thru adolescence and the formation of sexuality is lucky. Not everyone does.
Ant's first post indicated that he wasn't sure until he was sure.
That has to be the right time.
Give the guy a break
And Ant... Before you decide it's all too much, let me refer you to the last line of my Sig'
Fuck anyone who wants to fuck you, and in the end, fuck em all!! :D
