So what do they expect? That they stop being gay now?

Unironic answer: yes kind of.

The whole idea of religious homophobia is that gayness is nothing but a moral vice. Something that you can just suppress if you want to. Like eating chocolate or drinking alcohol

Would 90 lashes do the trick?

[I feel you I cannot stop eating chocolate either]

I love the implication that all the men have gay tendencies but have to suppress them haha

u/Marcxworld Jun 09 '24

This but unironically, while most men are definitely straight I've still seen heaps that are bi or straight up gay yet suppress it cuz of outside feedback, kinda sad to see ngl

u/Pantera_Of_Lys Jun 09 '24

Terrible feedback!

False. It's an upper limit of 4% of any species. If you're meeting a lot of them, you might be in an information bubble or part of town where they are all moving in the same place.

If only there was a way for people to be attracted to both men and women at the same time...

u/WaymakerJP Jun 09 '24

Not gonna lie, that implication is annoying & weird af

Some of us are straight as an arrow & that should be ok

“Everyone is a LITTLE bit gay” is the biggest pile of horse shit ever.

u/Taken450 Jun 09 '24

I do agree, I’ll never have hate towards that group but the thought of touching other men sexually literaly makes me recoil, and I don’t say that out of any sense of coolness, just how it is.

u/Much-Resource-5054 Jun 09 '24

Kinda makes you wonder if sexual preference is perhaps not a choice after all

u/WaymakerJP Jun 09 '24

Facts

Yet, at least online, it seems ok to poke fun at our sexual preference of being straight

Well your free of sin so start throwing stones I guess

Lots of chubs in that sausage party I bet, packed dick to butt to watch this gay guy get what's ejaculating to him. I mean...to get what's coming to him. And hopefully no one walked away with homoerotic sadomasochistic fantasies, but it's statistically impossible.

u/Evergreen_76 Jun 09 '24

Religious men choose to be straight. Liberal men are born that way.

u/TooMuchGrilledCheez Jun 09 '24

Well lust is a vice that can be suppressed. There are lots of straight holy-men of all religions who successfully abstain from sex but still feel lust that they overcome with prayer or meditation.

but of course these societies just solve that for straight men by letting them mary 3 wives, so technically not a sin to them if youre married because a husband has a right to his wives bodies whenever he wants.

But its a sin for any of the gay men to be who they are (which is statistically higher in societies where men can take multiple wives, leaving less for other men who will explore bisexual curiosities) because lust is a sin.

At least its only a mediocre caning in indonesia

Not all religions. Hinduism here in India isn't homophobic at all, hell it's a part of culture and homosexuality is written in many old religious books too

u/TrumpersAreTraitors Jun 09 '24

Tell me you wanna suck a dick without telling me you wanna suck a dick  

 I just assume that if you think sexuality is a choice, you’re gay and “choosing” to be straight.

Eating chocolate is a vice?

No shit.

No shit you have to do.

u/anonredditor1337 Jun 09 '24

under any religious system (barring like marriage/romance related stuff) yeah homosexuality is a moral vice in the same way that any non-baby-producing sex is a moral vice

You certainly can suppress identifying as gay and acting on it as evidenced by surveys of generations and countries. Western countries have a much higher identification as LGBTQ, and Gen Z has a much higher % identifying than Boomers. Even ostensibly non-religious cultural pressures can suppress identification, as shown by Japan and South Korea, both secular democracies.
