Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I don’t believe all gay men are like this. I’m not trying to explain how someone decides they are gay because it’s something I can’t comprehend. I choose to believe everyone has the potential to be a good human being. Of course many choose the evil path. I have a gay friend I’ve known since third grade. He’s not flamboyant or pushing his gayness on people. He was raised right meaning in a Christian home. I’ve hung out with him as a teenager one of my best friends back then. Also spent the night at his home many times. He’s married to a man and his husband is the same way. I’m not naive and don’t believe they are practicing christians. Honestly I respect that because it’s not fake.
My uncle was gay and we didn’t have confirmation until he passed away. We suspected because he was never married or had a girlfriend. I don’t know of a better person. However he had his demons with addiction to alcohol and it destroyed his life.
I’m sure people will disagree with me. I can’t judge someone when I’m don’t have proof of wrongdoing. Judgement is for God not humans. Sure we can can disagree with people’s behaviors but it’s not our place to judge. You never know people can change. (I’m not talking about child sexual abuse or other abuse)
