Gay and Lesbian Armenians
From Armeniapedia.org
(Redirected from Homosexual)
Jump to: navigation, search
As gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities emerge in the contemporary Armenian world (both in Armenia and in the diaspora) more and more Armenians are making public their personal sexual identities.
Armenia decriminalized gay male sex on Jan. 9, 2003. Lesbian sex was never banned in Soviet Armenia or in today's Second Republic. Male homosexuality was decriminalized under the early Soviet period and only banned during the Stalinist period. The Republic of Armenia does not recognize any marriage/unions/partnerships between individuals of the same sex.
While gays and lesbians in Armenia still face many obstacles that prevent them from leading open and equal lives, many diasporan Armenians are not hindered by homophobia and the level of acceptance is more often related to the prevalent cultural attitudes of the greater non-Armenian community.
There are active Armenian gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered associations in Los Angeles, New York, Paris and elsewhere.
[edit] Famous Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Armenians
Famous Armenians who are believed to be either gay, lesbian or bisexual include:
* Armenian pre-Christian King Pap
* Byzantine Emperor Basil I the Macedonian
* Gay Catholicos Grigoris I or Grigor Aghtamartsi
* poet Vahan Tekeyan
* poet Yeghishe Charents
* poet Sarmad the Naked Mystic
* filmmaker Sergei Paradjanov
* gay Armenian American literary pioneer George Stambolian
* writer and activist Chastity Bono

I think that Anonymouse is JJ Jones (the corrupt captain in Changeling)
Christine Collins: He's not my son.

Christine Collins: He's three inches shorter; I measured him on the chart.
Capt. J.J. Jones: Well, maybe your measurements are off. Look, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for all of this.
Christine Collins: He's circumcised and Walter isn't.
Capt. J.J. Jones: Mrs. Collins, your son was missing for five months, for at least part of that time in the company of an unidentified drifter. Who knows what such a disturbed individual might have done. He could have had him circumcised. He could have...
Christine Collins: ...made him shorter?
for more "tightproof evidences" watch the movie.

and if you want more resources, type Gay armenian in google and then you will see that "THEY EXIST"
Your "Armenian" ex-gay-boyfriend in this case, is not gay; the best term here would be disgrace. It would be better for your friend to be black than gay, that way he wouldn't have to tell his parents, which would then leave 'em paralyzed.

You seem to know all the "right" answers to everything.
Maybe you should hold his hand and kindly escort him out of the forum.
He asked for it-the second he placed his right hand on the mouse, and the moment he positioned his hands onto his keyboard, setting himself up on a computer-game-like-thrill-scene where he would boost from one level to the next, not being aware that the rapacious dragons consider him crunchy and even tastier with ketchup.

Re: Gay and Armenian people in Canada
I don't know I feel like ifemale hates gay ppl and I don't know why she came into this forum for. She just say something like she knows everything where she didn't really give her opinion. So I didn't see any point for her to come onto this thread and saying something bad about other ppl. She said she didn't know gay armenian exists, I gave her resources, and all she said was like she knows how to use google and doesn't want my resources. Ah, I wanna know what an open-minded means....

I've said this before and I'm going to say it once more. If you can't handle the heat, don't tickle the dragon.
Hopefully you can process that metaphor into your system.Last edited by iFemale; 04-03-2009, 07:43 PM.
