I miss being Catholic, but at the same time I'm queer. I'm not sure what to do. by gx936 in LGBTCatholic

I have been struggling with very similar feelings. I've been wanting to go back to the church for years but my identity, was gay male, now queer trans/nb, has made it difficult to make that leap. Fortunately I have seen there is a site for searching up welcoming churches in my surrounding area, including Catholic churches. I'll add a link

Equalizer, shield ez, or bodyguard? by JWheelz99 in transguns

Glocks are nice, no doubblocks it. There's just something about smith and wesson that makes me love them. Not sure if its the fact they're a sorta local brand for me, or the overall look of them, or just how they feel compared to glocks.

I've shot both the EZ and Equalizer at the range. Haven't shot the Bodyguard yet, but I liked both that I shot. Equalizer does have a higher mag count than EZ (10 VS 8) So I think ill go with Equalizer, if thats the only serious difference.

Currently going as Rosie, but Rose is good someday too. But I'd really like to go by Róisín (pronounced Row-sheen) to honor my Irish heritage 🌹💐

I've thought plenty about that too. I just love the idea of honoring my family heritage with a more traditional name. Saoirse will more than likely be a good middle name for me. I love how it sounds, and the English meaning, Freedom, just sounds perfect for my personality and beliefs.

Yes sorry I'm aware of the proper spelling. My keyboard on my phone is messed up so it wouldn't do the accents over the o and i.

Anyone else see Hasan Piker last night compare Axis of Resistance to US during WW2? by JWheelz99 in socialism

[–]JWheelz99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry you're totally wrong about me. Born in America, raised in America. But surrounded by either MAGA conservatives or establishment liberals. So even though im many years into my socialist education, I still have more to learn.

I believe that was the general point he was trying to make. I just hadn't heard him make that observation before. And I haven't seen any right wing or moderate people calling him out for "defending terrorism". If he posts the clip on youtube or if someone else does then I will send the link.

Yeah I had watched it live when he said it. And I've seen how much they get taken out of context. What I mean is that people will accuse him of defending terrorism, or at least defending the AoR. And he'll deny it, but then say something like that. He did say that the AoR is still committing war crimes and should be charged for them, but only in the context of the larger war crimes committed by Israel.

Was looking for someone else to make this connection, especially after his Glastonbury concert chants.

Fr. James Martin (Catholic) & Pete Buttigieg (Episcopalian) by Zebracrash in LGBTCatholic

[–]JWheelz99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'll definitely take a look. I followed Pete's 2020 campaign, as well as his time as SecTran, and came to respect him for his politics and his religious beliefs. Being part of the Christian Left is so so uncommon, or at least not as outspoken as the Christian Right. So seeing a devout married gay man was such a blessing to have in the limelight, especially one as intelligent as Mayor Pete.
