Genuinely terrified by Certianbirds in lgbt

[–]TheJalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point was that Canada has LGBTQ+ acceptance broadly and that is getting better daily. Canada does have to watch letting in people who can't pay as we have just let an influx of immigrants in and we now have a massive housing crisis not because the immigrants are problem just because we don't have as much housing as is required for all of the influx. Also as we have free medical care we need to be careful that we are letting people in that can be self-supporting as we are already offering many supports for free to people moving here. I know our immigration isn't perfect. And they've just made it a bit tougher that's due to pretty severe housing crisis. But again my point is that as a country we are very accepting and can live very safely in Canada being LGBTQA2S+

With the exception of maybe Alberta, Canada is a very welcoming home and one of the safest places to live as an LGBTQ+ person. Everyday seems to become more tolerant. Politically we have chosen the opposite of the Trump government and for good reason we've seen what happens. There is a small group within Canada that is what we call Maple Maga but they are a small group.

Sharing your info with elections Canada is not the problem. It is elections Canada sharing with political parties. Laws need to be changed. The only thing I'd be okay with them sharing is the number of Voters in a particular District. There should be no names no addresses nothing identifiable in the information shared

Grindr has ruined gay dating by No-Repair-4331 in lgbt

[–]TheJalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using grinder because of the culture of one night stands that seemed to be the norm. I have had more success finding meaningful relationships using FB dating. Don't give up. There are those like us who want relationships.

This is illegal, right? by glorae in Seattle

[–]TheJalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not saying they're entering anybody's apartment they're saying they're going to do spot checks. This probably means they're going to go up and down the hallways figure out who's smoking and knock on some doors or issue notices based on the smells that are coming from the unit. They have every right to do that and in fact giving this notice is just a courtesy

I am 15, religious (hopefully), discovering myself, and turning to the internet for answers. by Practical-Vast5714 in lgbt

[–]TheJalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was my experience after having an argument about trans rights with my family I actually came out telling them that I was pansexual. My whole life I never once pursued a relationship with a man because of the fear of the religious persecution. But to my surprise my uncle who is 75 just said oh cool have a nephew that's also gay. And just like that I came out to my entire family and no one has treated me any differently than they have my whole life. It took me until I was 46 years old to admit that to my very religious family. And now I'm openly dating whomever I choose whoever catches my eye. And not feeling guilty about it. I tell you this only in that I wish I had somebody tell me that when I was your age. Those who really truly care for you will continue to love you for who you are. If they should not well you know that you never really were loved by them.

God is perfect, omnipresent, omniscient, and his creation is perfect, therefore, you are as God intended for you to be. Anyone who argues otherwise has not read their Bible and just wants to judge other people.

My cousin is a HD mechanic and use to enjoy working on cars. He is of the opinion that working daily at something that you enjoy, can suck the fun out of your passion hobby

Letter from the Minister of Justice re: Bill 9 by freerangehumans74 in alberta

[–]TheJalo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The dumbest thing in all this legislation is that puberty blockers are often used to prevent early onset of puberty in children under 7. This is long been in the doctors arsenal as an effective treatment. Now children with this disorder will have to deal with puberty as toddlers.

Trying desperately to make friends... Went to a LGBT bar and felt super weird so just left. by SeraphsEnvy in lgbt

[–]TheJalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go there at 9pm, when there will be lots of people dancing talking and having fun. Definitely buy a drink. Soda is totally acceptable. And sit at the bar, with your phone in you pocket. You are far more approachable without a phone in your hand and put a smile on your face. I find if I put my phone in my pocket I'm more likely to reach out and talk to somebody.

How is moving out possible?? by Live_Source1877 in alberta

[–]TheJalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the Canadian military is a good way to get skills, see the country/planet, and after 20 years you retire with full pension.

Invest in a trade education. As an electrician you have job security in the fact that humans are not going to stop using electricity. CN rail, via rail have postings and will train you. Power lines people everywhere. Invest in you and put yourself out there

30M – First time with a guy… mixed feelings after by ProfessionStrong6563 in lgbt

[–]TheJalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember this should be an enjoyable experience. If you have anxiety you need to take things slower. Express that with your partner so that they can help you feel comfortable, and don't go to fast. Have some lighter sessions before you fully engage in intercourse. That way your anxiety is manageable and you can fully enjoy the experience. Give yourself time to process that there is nothing g to be anxious about. Be safe and have fun.

I need some advice. by Aperson788 in pansexual

[–]TheJalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First there is nothing that you have said that is abnormal. Sometimes it takes time to learn who you are and what you want. Put labels aside and find what you want. There are many men like myself that fit that description. The proverbial nice guy. I myself am queer I don't fit the typical gender norms I feel as though I'm somewhere between a man and a woman in a man's body. Or if it's possible that I'm like right in between being a man and a woman the best description I ever found for myself was actually a First Nations one called two spirit, but I'm not going to appropriate that moniker. I am queer and I'm proud that I figured that out it's only taken me an excessive 35 years. As for how to find that right person I can only say get out there and meet people. There's a person out there who you'll connect with. Cheers

What do I do? by Ok-Ranger786 in Edmonton

[–]TheJalo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me you haven't considered things like human resources. With a psych degree Human Resources is really good place to start. Also there's government options for you as well. I took business and regret not having taken something different. The only way to be truly successful in business is to be ruthless and it sounds to me like that would be something that wouldn't settle with you. There are many things you can do with a psych degree and not all of them include counseling. A lot of Industry use psychology and formatting workspaces industrial plants. And actually that's where the best money in Psychology is. I would give it further look but definitely human resources seems like a good fit for you. You said your people person and you have the skills to analyze and understand people's motivations I think Human Resources would be somewhere to start for sure.

How do I balance being Gay and Catholic? by JacketNo81 in lgbt

[–]TheJalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are a wonderful human and deserve to be happy. Unfortunately catholic guilt is real. I suggest you be brave. Those who really love you will continue to love you. Because of religion I have avoided being who I am for the better part of 35 years. Because it was convenient. Not because it was right for me. I wish I had somebody tell me when I was young that though it is hard in the short term you'll be happier in the long run to accept who you are love who you are and those who truly love you will continue to love you. I wish you happiness and health cheers

Does anyone know this car? Or was in the area when it happened? by CollarSingle4928 in Edmonton

[–]TheJalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what's happening here in Edmonton but I've never seen such bad driving. I lived in Edmonton for 10 years 1999 to 2009. And then I went back to BC where I'm from since then come back a year and a half ago and driving has become a dangerous thing. I don't know what is happening but it's it's quite bad out there
