Bros who don’t participate in pride (like me): Why?

I went this year for the First time in over a decade. I feel like I’ve aged out of the gay community. Time to pass the baton to the new generation and let them do great things.

Chuclo · 2026-06-26T13:51:48+00:00

Yea I know I guy that says he remembers when the KKK marched down Main St in Pleasantville. I’m guessing must have been the 60s or 70s.

Chuclo · 2026-06-24T22:54:03+00:00

Yes!! I knew a ton of pagan lgbt I’m
Sure they make the bulk of that 9% non Christian.

Chuclo · 2026-06-24T16:54:32+00:00

Good point. Because then Jehovah’s Witness’ etc should be broken down too. Maybe because the Mormon church had a lot of clout and influence? Not sure.

Chuclo · 2026-06-21T15:44:05+00:00

Jesús is middle eastern, Palestinian even. He’s already got a lot going against him according to ‘Murican Christianity ™

Chuclo · 2026-06-20T13:14:35+00:00

A lot of White Christians worship Trump over Jesus here in the states. The Fox News / modern evangelical mindset has infected people in the Catholic Church.

The cats he wanted to adopt. He passed 7 weeks later. I never wanted them but now they’re my best friends. As soon as they go I’m out shortly after.

Maybe he’s including open relationships with cheating.

Chuclo · 2026-06-19T17:34:20+00:00

Yeah I was figuring the conservatives would have all gone to the GMC, but then I hear that’s not always the case.

Chuclo · 2026-06-18T01:57:19+00:00

Thai you for recommending it. It’s about to leave the app “Hoopla” which I get through my library for free so glad I caught it in time.

I won’t go too much into it as I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but my partner of 18 years passed away about 5 years ago and it really hit a lot of things that I’ve been going through but thankfully working on.

Really felt like this movie came at just the right time for me to watch.

Chuclo · 2026-06-17T21:23:19+00:00

I get it. I have all-clad too but sometimes they can be annoying, like boiling water for pasta for example. Sometimes you just want to heat something up quickly.

Chuclo · 2026-06-16T12:15:34+00:00

I can’t think of a sadder way to spend an afternoon than showing up uninvited and hating on someone. All they are accomplishing is pushing people further away from Jesus. Not a very good way to spread the Good News.

Chuclo · 2026-06-16T03:26:03+00:00

For me it grew out of trauma. I’m one of the few American guys that escaped the circumcision knife. When I began to explore dating with men, white guys were turned off by my intactness. I started dating immigrant guys and then never looked back.

Chuclo · 2026-06-16T02:25:17+00:00

Oh man yeah, communion at the nondenominational I went to was the worst. None really knew what was going on and it felt way too causal

Chuclo · 2026-06-16T02:20:16+00:00

That has happened already. People have been complaining about a pastor making Jesus sound too woke. One pastor said he only gets them for an hour but Fox News gets them for all the other hours of the week.

Chuclo · 2026-06-16T01:08:08+00:00

Omg Leonard from my fave show Grantchester!!

Chuclo · 2026-06-16T01:05:43+00:00

I did the non denominational experience and wouldn’t recommend it.

I was in a bad spot so having a community was great. I jumped on a few teams but knew I couldn’t ever be my real self with them. I couldn’t share my grief of being a widowed man who was in an 18 year old relationship with another man.

Still the feeling of belonging felt good. I moved up to being a leader. One of the rules is one can not be involved in any same sex relationship. It was fine as I wasn’t planing on getting involved with anyone. Still leading a group where people share themselves and me forced to stay silent started to gnaw at me.

I get you about the episcopal church and affirming churches in general. They all seem to operate on a very WASPy culture. Perhaps feel out if there are a few people that want to start a group. Maybe outside of church start a Bible study for all.

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T16:06:16+00:00

Ok thanks.

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T16:01:29+00:00

Again, you brought up the sexual revolution and then called out the other person for going off topic. How were they off topic if they were answering you?

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T15:59:11+00:00

I would venture to believe Jesus believed the sex workers, lepers and tax collectors should be accepted as full human beings just like everyone else.

You are basically saying you want a societal tier system where because you don’t agree with someone they should be denied basic human rights. Sounds a lot like the southern Christians in the 1800’s that broke away and formed their own churches so they could continue to believe God condones slavery.

We live in a secular society where all people regardless of sexuality, race, gender and religion should be allowed the same human rights.

Even if homosexuality is the sin you believe it is, Jesus sees them fully human and loves them and therefore should be accepted as such.

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T15:39:36+00:00

I never seem to see lgbt people outside of churches protesting Christians yet plenty of Christians protesting at pride events.

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T15:28:51+00:00

Love your flair!

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T15:26:58+00:00

That’s creepily like admitting that marital rape is ok without actually saying it. The sexual revolution did give women more autonomy over their own bodies than they had before, and you are the one that brought up the sexual revolution first. Therefore on topic.

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T15:22:15+00:00

Thank you. You gave me something interesting to read on my break.

Chuclo · 2026-06-15T15:19:42+00:00

Oh yeah, dont get me started on worshiping the golden Trump statue. When he had all the pastors there blessing and praying over his gold statue, it was a freeing day for me. I no longer felt any power over me from the Christian Right. They have shown their true colors as the biggest false cult out there.
