Lurking around in /k and found this.

Just to ask, when u have that strange feeling of attracting to who you are not suppose to, do u in denial at first? Do u fight your feeling? Or just follow your heart?

here's the funny thing; the ones that are so scared that transwomen or gay will goda them are the ones that normally we don't have selera to even tease... how lah...

usually people that doing this dont realize they are at disadvantage in terms of looks or body shape, and doing the teasing or trying to annoy you is just a denial for them to escape their shall i put it ugliness to attract your attention. in some cases, they are trying to test who you are so that they can be confident that you are gay or lesbian. they are closet gay or lesbian, but they wont reveal to you until they got their hidden test answered.

how they test ? using the typical stereo types assumptions, which are highly unreliable. 

but you are right, those handsome or really sexy goddess, they dont spend time doing such things, because they can attract people at their par

this applies to any sexuality, in fact it's a common sense

Hey guys! Glad to see a thread for LGBT in Lowyat. I'm Fikri. Nice to meet all of you!

Last 2 weeks I've decided to come out to my mom via a phone call. Prior to the phone call I've been avoiding calling her for months because I promised myself the next time I called her I will tell her that I'm gay but I never had the courage to do so. During the conversation I told her I knew she would be disappointed in me because like most parents she wanted all her kids to grow up, get married and have a family. Not to mention she's very religious and has made extremely homophobic comments in the past. But I reassured her I have to come out because I don't want to lie to everyone anymore and most importantly, to myself. I'm already 26 and if I'm not being honest to myself now, I'll probably never will. Towards the end of the conversation, my mom started to understand and hoped that I will take care of myself well. I called my mom a week later and she said she already told the rest of my family.

It felt like a huge burden off my chest and I'm so glad that I was able to do it. Next I hope I will be able to come out to my colleagues and friends.

Hi Fikri, it seems that your mom is supporting you. Good for you. I have a gay friend who came out to his family (even grand mother). His immediate family members were ok with it (dad still in denial but knows his son is gay).

I really envy LGBT individuals who has the courage to step out of the closet.
I'm L and I had dropped hints to my mom but it's like she still doesn't understand the meaning behind it. My dad couldn't accept it. When my mom told my dad about what's happening with me, i think he faked a heart problem and asked me to return home immediately ( i was staying over at my partner's place to celebrate my birthday). When I got home, my mom confronted me. All i could say was it was not my partner's fault. I was the 1 who liked her. and left after that.

Hi. Thanks... Yeah, I'm pretty lucky judging by my family's reaction but when I came back for Raya last week I can sense them having a bit of reservation. I guess it will take sometime before they completely accept it.

Sorry that it happened. But kudos to you for being firm with your decision. Are you and your partner still together?

Yes we're still together. it's rather complicated. My parent can accept her as their god-daughter and cares for her. but I don't know how they will react if I pop the big question. 

Lots of LGBT issues/controversies appearing lately. I'm pretty upset.

My issue is they keep saying it's promoting a lifestyle... It's not a lifestyle or a choice... Promoting paedophilia is a lifestyle and choice which the religious authorities support and government can't do much about it. Pisses me off so much

Try reading this FB post. the comments are even more heart breaking. I'm so disappointed.

My daily quota of homophobic comments is full for today but I can imagine what are written there.

Two consented male adults adults holding hands in public considered as disgusting and sinful to them. While a 41 year old sexual predator lusting over 11 year old girl is perfectly acceptable just because the girl and her parents said yes to his marriage proposal and their religion permitted it. yes it is a sick world we living in 

in another thread I saw one forumer saying gay relationship that resulting zero reproduction is equal to Hitler's mass massacre which makes me really lol at these bigots level of intelligence

Yeah I was interacting with said forumer but once he said that I realised he is already a lost cause and I shouldn't waste anymore energy trying to reel in.

In an era when overpopulation is a widespread problem shouldn't the society be embracing us more?
