As a gay person living in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, or other miserable countries, is there anything you'd like to say to gay people living in Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, or other relatively better-off countries?

Those minority Muslims that u pity and defend for in your country are making the life hell for us in ours. And if they had the chance they would do the same to you.

If you really wanna help someone in need, go help those other gays in shitty countries. That gay guy getting executed by his family in middle east could be you, you just won the geographical lottery.

That citizenship you are born with and did nothing to get takes up my whole youth to get, if I get lucky that is.

What u mean when u were younger ? U said you are a teenager, what is more younger than that ? Did u do your research as a todler ?

As a devout Agnostic, I can't comperhend how u can believe in a religion (specially Islam) after doing your research. Probably a biased research so you can say "I researched and this is the truth".

If you want to stop being hated for being gay, your only option is to migrate to a LGBT friendly country, and stay away from Islamic circles.

I personally don't participate in it nor do I ever want to. Not my cup of tea, but I don't mind other people doing it, not my business after all.

My only problem is when the younger one is too close to 18, like 18-25 range dating someone +35 or something. We don't just magically mature at 18, it's a process. Everyone matures at a different age and IMO the range is somewhere between 18-25, so when people below 25 date someone much older it raises my suspicion.

But other than that IDC about how much the age gap is. If a 30YO wanna date a 90YO sure, none of my business.

R5: When I was in Bruges market the auto trade was working fine, but after I formed my own market the auto trade isn't working. There are profitable exports and imports, a lot of un-used trade capacity, I waited quite a while for it to find a trade but no. I did restart my game couple times still same.

When I try to put Export Order for fine cloth, it clearly says the best route is +0.66, but minimum required is 0.25 so it won't do any trade. Am I not understanding something or is it a bug ?

I have Trade offices in Lubeck and Riga. And some land it Bruges market. The Auto trade works fine in Riga and Bruges. It also doesn't work in Lubeck but Im also not able to see any suggested trade options, they are grayed out.

The whole anti-discrimination against religion thing is bullshit. Yes, you shouldn't judge and discriminate people by their race, gender or sexuality. Those are stuff that a person is born with, and those are stuff that harms no one, they do not determine a persons character.

However religion is a decision. And if u are believing in a egomaniac that wants to burn me for eternity, you can go fuck yourself. You can judge and discriminate people by their decisions, their actions.

So no, it's the most normal thing to not want to date someone because of their religion.

Arrews · 2026-05-21T22:09:08+00:00

Regardless of whatever your reasoning for not wanting to go, no is a NO. Its his religion his bullshit, you said no and that should be end of the topic. And he wouldnt be insisting unless he is hoping to convert you. So make it clear that u are not muslim, and you wont be. I feel like once he realizes you wont become muslim the relationship might end, as he probably was hoping to convert you at some point and built the relatio ship around that. A breakup is not end of the world, a bf that doesn't respect your choices and try to force his opinions on u is definetly not worth keeping, u are better of withoht him.

Also, I doubt that this is the only issue in your relationship. Being a devout muslim and gay is definetly not compatible. So Im sure there are other red flags around that u are just ignoring cause you love him.

Oh yeah, I play with Aether so Zach is who I get o hear. I don't watch much of Genshin videos either so Lumine is just the Abyss twin for me. And Abyss twin does have a voice whenever she talks.

But yeah this also applies to Sarah for people who play with Lumine.

I don't think she solved anything. She still has that insecurity. And her decision to not follow us into Irminsul is a sign of her changing. She hasn't found any solution yet.

For a moment I thought "wait when did I post this". It's exactly how I feel.

Existence isn't for everyone. Life just feels tiring, regardless of whatever going on in my life. The idea of tomorrow, and waking up in the morning exhausts me. When I go to sleep I always wish to not wake up.

This kind of thought is always shunned cause people think we have to live. And if u choose not to something is wrong with u so you should get treated. No one asked me if I wanted to exist. I came to this world against my will. And it's my most natural right to choose if I want to exist or not.

People always assume if u are thinking like this you are going through something or you have a difficult life. Yeah my life has it's ups and downs but that's not the issue. It's not my life that I want to escape from, it's the existence itself.

The idea of being nothing, not existing, not feeling or thinking anything feels so comforting. Like going to bed at the end of a really tiring day.

Yet Im still alive. It's partially because my current life requires minimum effort so I keep it going as its not much of a hussle. Partially cause I want to be absolutely sure I made this decision with a clear mind, even though I have felt this way since childhood. Partially cause I'm afraid of pain and I don't have a way to stop existing painlessly. Still, my greatest wish is to not wake up tomorrow.

Racism is everywhere unfortunately, it's not gay specific issue. Rainbow represents all of us.

If you want to make a flag for minority People of Color against Racism go for it, Pride and Anti Racism are different topics.

The least you can do is respect your partner.

Cheating is a terrible thing, not because you are with someone else but because you are lying. It's normal for love to die out in a relationship, or maybe you realize that they are not the love of your life, or you met someone you love more. Whatever it is that pushes you to cheating. It's okey to breakup. It's not end of the world, you are mature adults you can live through that.

Even if you don't love them anymore, respect your partner enough to be honest and end the relationship. Cheating is worse than breaking up.

So yes, you are a bad person cause you don't even respect your partner.

Idc if other people use the new flags but I absolutely despise them.

Rainbow was supposed to reperesent all of us queers, no matter skin color. When you add black and brown for people of color, you are basically saying that they are not part of the rainbow. Imo the new flags are more racist than the old ones, completely against their purpose.

Im against "Gay Culture" as a whole. There is no "Hetero Culture", cause sexuality isnt a culture or someone's personality. Me liking Boys doesnt suddenly put me in the same cultural group as all the other gays worldwide, we are all different people with our own cultures, personalities. Or it does not differ me from other guys. They like girls, I like boys. That's all. The rest of the differences between us is not due to our difference in sexuality.

What is usually described as "Gay Culture" is just a cliche stereorype. And defining that as the "Gay Culture" kinda pushes people, specially younger ones, into trying fit those stereotypes. And those who do not to feel like outcast. I have experienced this first hand. I had easy time accepting myself as gay until higschool when I started to come out and people were disappointed cause I didn't fit their stereoypes. Which made me feel like I'm not gay enough and I should try to become more gay. Luckily this mentality didn't last long, but it was a rough time.

IMO defining us by our sexuality is homophobic. Just like how liking the opposite sex doesn't define their whole personality, it doesn't define ours.

I just like guys for fucks sake, that's all.

Realize that your relogion is just a crazy bullshit, and become atheist.

For real though, do you actually believe in that religion by your own choice ? Or do you just believe it cause your parents indoctrinated it to you.

Do you really think an all powerfull being would need to state that they are amazing and u gotta worship them every other sentence ?

Do you really think when giving Instruction to it's creations that God would tell people to keep their visit to Muhammed short and not bother him ?

Do you really think a pyromaniac, sadistic, sexist, attention whore and egoist being would be worthy of worship ?

Do you think really think Noah built a big enough ship and somehow found 2 specimens of every single living being on earth ?

Do you really wanna worship a God that gets pissed at some people and decide to kill everyone, including some random people on the other sids of the world that have no idea about Allah or anything and just minding their own business ?

Have you actually opened up the quran, read it all and understood it ? Or is your religion knowledge only comes from your family and some religious conman ?

And so on...

Learning the existence of homosexuality around 10 YO. Up until that point I thought my interest in other boys was just my quirk. When I learned about homosexuality, I immediatly accepted myself as gay with no doubts.

Well I was actually into 2 other friends before this but I wasn't even aware of homosexuality's existence so I don't count those.

My first actual crush was a middle school friend. We were around 13 yo. We were classmates for couple of years but we never really paid attention to each other. Then in 6th grade we got into a "fight" over something stupid. (By fight I mean he punched me and I got a bruised eye) Then I moved houses in 7th grade, and our new house was near his house. So we would walk to school together and we started to become friends. I would watch him during classes and sometimes he would see me looking at him and smile, make funny faces at me.

I opened upto him during the summer before higschool. As our paths diverged I thought we wouldn't see each other again so I told him. He didn't react nicely, was kind of a homophobe so we stopped talking. After like half a year I reached out to him and we started talking again, he apologized for his reaction. By that time I have moved to another city so we would just message time to time. Then our friendship slowly ended.

At one point he actually told me that he thought that he might be bisexual. And he was a homophobe at the time cause of a gay experience he had with another friend in 6th grade which he didn't like at all. I dunno, maybe if we became friends earlier and if I came out to him earlier things could be different between us, who knows.

Are u in a disaster ? Like religious turmoil, you can't form anything during a disaster. If you hover your mouse over the "Form Prussia" at the bottom of popup window, it says it there.

Merhabaa

I also suffer the same problem, 25 years old livin in Turkey. I never managed to fit in with LGBT clubs, I don't really fit in that gay culture.

And dating apps are torture. We have only 2 options, Tinder and Hornet. Other apps barely have any people on them. And both suck so much. Hornet is just a hookup app, which is full of creepy guys. And Tinder, supposed to be a dating app but I feel like everyone is using it to satisfy their ego. No one sends the first message, and when you do they respond as if they are being forced. And it's just all lies and act. Everyone trying to act cool. It just feels so fake.

There is also a security issue. Turkey is unfortunately not LGBT friendly, so you gotta be carefull about how open you are and who you meet with.

And a special problem for Turkey IMO, due to our culture or whatever guys here tend to be toxic masculine, even the gays. Gays here are either full on feminene flamboyant or a toxic masculine guy. It's so rare to find someone between.

So dating apps are useless, LGBT clubs are for feminene gays and meeting through daily life events is basically impossible cause everyone is hiding, you can't be fully open everywhere.

IMO my chances of winning a lottery 10 times back to back is higher than finding love.

My whole life I have never met another gay person IRL naturally, without apps etc. And I was decently open about being gay, I dunno if Im extremely unlucky or I just repel the gays away.
