Sanctioned Suicide’s Thoughts on LGBTQ

[Burden_Bailey]

I've been wondering what the Sanctioned Suicide community thinks of LGBTQ people. Do you dislike the LGBTQ community? Are you an ally? Do you identify as LGBTQ yourself? I'd love to hear your responses!

 

[Odahviing475]

I think you'll find a lot of LGBTQ+ people here because a lot of society isnt very welcoming. I'm gay myself!

Everyone should have the right to live their life without *someone* bothering them.

Congrats on being gay! I've been questioning whether I'm bi or lesbian. I do agree with you on suicide and depression being caused by homophobia. My own mother said some pretty homophobic things directed at me yesterday, which made me cut myself immediately afterwards. I wish homophobia would end. I'm a Christian, and I study theology, and I've gotta say, the Bible never says LGBTQ people are bad (in the original texts, at least). The original Hebrew texts never oppose a consensual, loving homosexual relationship. English translators added homophobic stuff in there that wasn't there originally. People need to stop using religion to justify their homophobia.

I'm still very new to this forum but so far I haven't seen anyone be openly homophobic and I'm bisexual myself!

 

[huphup]

I'm gay and I think this is one of the many reasons I'm suicidal. My parents are homophobic and I don't see myself being happy in a relationship in the future.

I mean its no surprise most people are on here are LGBT+. Almost have of LGBT youth have seriously considered suicide, higher for non-binary and trans folk, according to the Trevor Project. A lot of rates and stats will include a separate number for this group, because of disproportionately higher rates of mental illness, suicidal ideation, attempts and death.

One theory is that the higher stats comes from increased stress of being a minority. ( I believe this). Also why females could have potentially higher rates of depression and anxiety too.

Congrats on being bi! I'm very glad you haven't seen anyone homophobic on this forum. I've been a long-time lurker, but recently got an account, and I also haven't seen any homophobic stuff. But I also haven't seen any LGBTQ supporters either, so that's why I asked.

Congrats on being gay! I'm so sorry about that. There will always be a safe space for you here. I'll support you no matter what. Personally, my mom being homophobic is not why I'm suicidal. I've attempted before I even identified as queer. I'm suicidal for lots of different reasons. The homophobia in my family has caused me great distress, but never to that degree. I hope you're able to get away from the homophobic environment and find somewhere supportive.

I have experienced strong sexual desires toward other women, but I have only ever dated men, and I have been 100% straight in my sexual desires for the past several months, so I'm like a bi-cycle-sexual, lol. In a few months, I'll go the other way and think I'm destined to be a lesbian. It's so weird.

Either way, I deconverted from Christianity over a decade ago, so I have no reason to feel shame about it anymore.

Congrats on being queer! I think what you are is called a bi-lesbian. I recommend you look into it. It means you only experience one type of attraction with women, and the other type with men. For example, you could experience sexual attraction with women, but romantic attraction only with men. I can't label you, but I recommend you read this: https://queerdom.fandom.com/wiki/Bi-Lesbian. I'm super sorry that the Christian Church was so toxic for you that you had to deconvert. I'm so mad at the Christian church. Their homophobia is pushing people away from Jesus. Don't let the Church represent the religion. If you ever change your mind and decide to come back to Christianity, there are accepting churches out there. God loves gays!

 

[penguinl0v3s]

Lots of trans people here.

 

[CrazyDiamond04]

Not entirely sure. I've thought I may be Bi or something but it's complicated.

 

[CPY]

I don't think it's a matter of supporting LGBTQ or not but rather minding one's own business.I just don't care who other people are attracted to

 

[R_N]

I treat people as individuals. Their gender/sexuality doesn't matter to me most of the time.

I am not fond of people who are into group think tho in general so as always it depends on individual and how they act.

 

[Unhumanly.]

So sorry that the world isn't a kind and accepting enough place to welcome, making everything difficult when all the people do is just to love

 

[fwompie]

Just wanted to mention, I love that you respond to others within this thread being queer with "congratulations". Makes me remind myself that being queer isn't bad and that it can be something to be celebrated.

 

[兎の耳]

I'm a transgender woman. It causes me a lot of stress and dysphoria is probably 50% of my reason for being suicidal. Plus being trans in America is scary right now.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Cis straight woman here, one who doesn't have any problem with people being gay, trans, non binary or whatever other ' label ' . I think it's a shame people in 2023 still can't be who they want to be.

 

[アホペンギン]

I'm fine with them, they're just trying to live their lives and they deserve to be provided the resources and the respect to make their lives better… The society is really unwelcoming when it comes to those in the LGBTQ community and I think this behavior towards said community leads a lot of them here. It's sad.

 

[Al Gul]

Bi, but with very little experience with men for one reason or another. As such I barely feel a part of the whole LGBTQ+ community, but as an acronym descriptor and all, I hope people are fine with me existing. The ones who aren't should get some better reasons to hate me.

 

[CloudyNightSky]

I was wondering the same and it's heartwarming how everyone is so supportive and just cute af is on here. I'm bi but tend a little more to woman so idk somewhere between bi and lesbian xD

 

[Forever Sleep]

I think most people are very supportive here. We all share a common feeling at the end of the day. I'm cis and straight myself but I think we should all be able to feel comfortable in whoever we are. I think that's maybe why people here are so supportive of one another on the whole- many of us don't exactly feel like we belong- for lots of different reasons.

I already responded to Hup Hup.

Congrats on being trans! I think you are a beautiful, genuine woman. I'm so sorry this has made you suicidal. I'm a cisgender woman, so I can't relate to you, but I'm so sorry you feel like this. It really is unfair how society treats trans people. I live in America too, and watching the news makes me even more scared for you guys. I hope America will become more accepting.

Thank you so much for being an ally! There is nothing wrong with being cis or straight, but there is a problem with opposing those who aren't.

Same for Forever Sleep.

Congrats on being bi! Just remember that, you are a part of the LGBTQ community, and you belong in it.

Congrats on being bi/lesbian! Me too! I think you might be a bi-lesbian. It can be someone who is bi, but focuses mainly on their relationship with women or non-men. I can't label you, but I think you should look into it. I recommend you read this: https://queerdom.fandom.com/wiki/Bi-Lesbian. I agree that everyone is so cute and sweet on here. I love how FixThe26 is all like, "Sanctioned Suicide are murderers! They're killing little children!" And they completely ignore posts like this. Also, who said suicide was a bad thing?

 

[leloyon]

Lots of trans people here.

I would describe myself as such, but will never bother to transition. What's the point if I'm gonna CTB anyway?

 

[UnwillingSavior]

I think the number of lgbtq+ members on here is very distressing, as nice as it is to meet them. Its truly unfortunate they feel like they have no other choice or that they can't stand being closeted anymore, but with no hope to come out to the world without backlash. I wish you all the best of luck on your journeys.

 

[sunsun]

I'd like to say I'm bi but tbh idk if I would date a man

 

[Sylveon]

Any ace people on here?

 

[qw3rty259]

I support LGB, don't quite understand Ts but hey, they can do what they want with their bodies.
I love non-binaries. Hope that the man and woman gender roles will cease to exist in the future.

 

[noSuffering]

I am personally heterosexual, but I fully support the LGBT fight for human rights. Because homophobia causes enormous suffering to many people around us. It is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I'm from russia, there is a totally homophobic society here; according to sociologists, only 3% of the population can be classified as LGBT-friendly. It's scary to think how much hatred, bullying and discrimination LGBT people have to experience. Actually, in my entire life, half a century, I have met maybe one or two heterosexuals who are NOT homophobic. When I was young, I just didn't think about it, I myself was a homophobe, like everyone around me. But then I told myself - fuck society, I can think with my own head and retrain myself. Several years ago, I even donated money to charities helping LGBT people. Today, all such organizations in fail state russia are prohibited, even a personal talk between two adults about LGBT is a criminal offense, even just mentioning the abbreviation LGBT is criminally punishable, drawing a rainbow is also criminally punishable. The authorities are holding competitions to kill LGBT people - Project Saw (yes, a real hunt like in Faces of Death). Overall, it's fucked up.

What can I say - rays of goodness to all LGBT people. Well, besides the rays of goodness, I would like you all to have rays of death for protection.

I really don't subscribe to the sexual attraction/romance divide that seems to be all the rage these days. If I want to have sex with someone, I would prefer to date them and have a relationship with them as well. In some circles, that would make me "demisexual" or some crap, but I'm just old-fashioned on this point.

I would say that my attraction to both sexes is even, just that it usually fluctuates to be one or the other. I have no idea how that will go in a long-term relationship if I ever get in one.

 

[itgotme0d]
