Re: Are you okay with Gay Armenians?

Why? There is difference between having homosexual tendencies and being gay.

Tendencies? One is either gay or not, I doubt many people will pretend to be gay especially in a place it's not socially accepted.

yeah of course. But being gay shouldn't be a criminal offence either so it was good it was decriminalised.

Just a game to get the EU off our back. Culturally, nothing's changed since 2003 when the law that made it illegal to be gay was overturned.

Being Gay was decriminalised in 2003 in Armenia. Now there's even a club (discoteca) for gay people in central Yerevan.

Re: Are you okay with Gay Armenians?

So you think there is a fear among homosexuals that people will think they're straight when they're not? Sort of like how heterosexuals get married because it's the "straight" thing to do and society forces it on them and they don't want others to doubt that they are heterosexual? It seems to me many people worry more of what others think than what they think about themselves. As long as an individual is honest to him/herself and those in his/her personal life I don't think there should be an issue of dishonesty.

You're right, as long as the person is able to live responsibly, there is no issue. But yes, people worry about what others think to varying extents, and this could affect their behavior and how they conceive of themselves. That's why the ideal of always sticking up for yourself, is probably for such people a learned thing, part of growing up.

Bisexual



Because if those politicians wanted to live honestly, they would not have gotten into monogamous relationships and cheated on their spouses. A person coming out about their sexual orientation, which they live with throughout their lives, has nothing to do with dishonesty. If they feel burdened by the knowledge that their sexual orientation doesn't match perfectly with what is expected of the relationship, or of people close to them who push them to have a relationship that doesn't capture their sexuality, they should be able to talk about it, otherwise they'll keep the burden of feeling like they're not normal, all their lives, when plenty of other people out there can probably relate, and many more can likely accept them, provided they make it an imperative to be aware of how their actions can affect others, and learn how to take responsibly for themselves.

It's not healthy to keep things inside, to pretend you're someone you're not, the cognitive dissonance will someday get the better of you (if it hasn't already).
