hopes

That's absolutely terrible... I hope neither of them hurt themselves critically... Were they actually close or actually friends or...? It actually isn't any of my business, sorry. No, I don't think you are, but that's absolutely fine, Forever. I understand what you're saying. And yes, since it's your religion and you believe in it and someone does start to rant about it, you should be allowed that. I didn't, Forever. ^^ Thanks. It's nice to know that there are also people out there like you, who are forgiving. Because as others have said, if God created all of us and He loves us equally, then we should accept that and treat each other equally. I doubt how well that will work throughout life, though. You see... I'm not an atheist, but I'm not quite certain about how religious I actually am. I am Christian, but... I haven't gone to church much in my life and... Yeah. With all the terrible things that happen in the world, it's questionable. There will be believers and non-believers. We'll just have to wait and see.

If I may ask... How was she expelled? Have you tried messaging her?

What are you? Or rather, what do you prefer? Girls, guys or both? @Hano I see... I thought it wasn't allowed in Denmark. I do know some countries allow homosexual couples to be together, but they're not allowed to marry. It's called a 'civil union'. Thanks! @Forever I appreciate your input.. ^^ At least you're not hating on everyone here or complaining. Your friend sounded like a wonderful person. Are you still in contact with her? @Ezra Aeyra has an incredible ability of winning any debate or argument. She always gets the point made and she's fantastic. <3

I was pretty nervous last night that when I checked in the morning, people would be angrily raging about how homosexualilty is wrong and how homophobic they are. I'm glad that didn't happen. ^^ It's great that you guys support people's equality even if your religion is against it. I'm actually a bit religious too, but... I might have stopped a while ago. I'm not an atheist, however. The comments about being a guy and friends with a guy and feeling homosexual... That just amused me. XD A bromance type of thing, I guess? Keep up the positive comments, guys! And nice, Aya-chan. Very nice. @Otaku-chan You make sense, don't worry. I think I understand what you're saying.

Hey guys. This here is the LGBTQA+ Community (edited to actually be inclusive, as the GSA is very limiting). This thread is for the people who are homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, demisexual, heterosexual and/or any other sexual/romantic orientation you may be, as well as transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, and non-binary people. You can be anything to support this; it's called the LGBTQA+ Community, after all. Just be someone who believes it's unfair and not right to simply judge someone of what gender they're attracted to. There are quite a few kids about there who are figuring out their sexual/romantic orientation. It is very possible you are discovering who you are. But there are teenagers and adults alike who are bullied every day for who they are. Some eventually can't stand the pain anymore and commit suicide because they feel hated, unwanted and repulsive to others. These people need to know that there are people out there in the world who care, even if you don't know them personally. They care what happens, and they believe in equal rights for all. Don't be afraid to be who you are. Just because of who they like doesn't change anything. They're still human. Even if you find out your friend is homosexual, bisexual or anything else, you shouldn't freak out. They're still your friend. It doesn't automatically mean they like you and are trying to come on to you. There are males who are attracted to females. There are females who are attracted to males. There are males attracted to males, females attracted to females and some who are attracted to both males and females. There are other people who are genderfluid, genderqueer or nonbinary. A quote from Cassandra Clare: Did you know? Interracial marriage wasn't allowed until after 1967. How would you feel if someone told you that you couldn't marry your love just because they weren't the same skin color as you? The same race? Same-sex marriage is legal in ten countries (as of 2012): Argentina Belgium Canada Iceland Netherlands Norway Portugal South Africa Spain Sweden The issue has been debated in several more, and some are still working things out. It is, however, in some countries, illegal to be homosexual and you will be put in jail or even killed for it. Homosexuality used to be considered a mental illness. And get this - It's legal for marriage equality in six states of the U.S. (Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa) while it's legal to have sex with a horse in 23. Nice going, America. According to Aeyra: I do realize there are people out there who are religious and even pious, and this goes against your beliefs. Or there may be other homophobic people who are merely disgusted with the idea who homosexuals. I understand that. However, if you are one of these people, I ask that you don't flame or hate on this thread. Don't even bother with this if it's not in your beliefs. We want to help people; not start a fight or an argument with anyone. If you do, however, have a serious issue with this, please PM me. People should be able to love whoever they want. To be truthful... I'm currently trying to figure out what my sexuality orientation is, and I believe myself to be bisexual. But to all my friends I've made here on Detective Conan World who are homophobic, I'm still me. Nothing's changed. Homosexuality is still considered a new idea. Many people are afraid of new things and straying from the normal path. It will take a while for people to adjust to the idea of two males or two females loving each other, but I hope they will learn to accept it soon. Take a look at how America felt about interracial marriage. They didn't react very well. Look at it now. If you're homosexual, bisexual, transgender, pansexual or asexual and you haven't "come out" about it, just know that there are people who care. Don't think about self-abuse or suicide. Know that someone cares, and we're here for you. If you need to talk about anything, I know Aeyra, I and many other DCW members will be happy to listen and try to help the best we can. I just want (and I know many others do as well) to be able to walk down the street openly, holding the hand of whoever I love freely and unafraid of what anyone will say or do, regardless of their orientation and/or gender.

IdentityUnknown (Saki-chan). Misaki (Mosalo). Aeyra (Aya-chan). I love all of you. <3

Dear Hakuba, Everything kinda fell apart, huh? Well, you're happy now and that's all that matters. I watch you two - two of my best friends - and to be honest, I'm jealous. How could I not be? But I'll still support you. It just hurts to know you would stroke my hair fondly like that only a little while ago. Things moved rather quickly, but she does deserve you more. She's liked you since October! Much longer than me. Good luck, Chelsea ----- Dear Anonymous, Regarding my above 'Dear Anonymous'... I said things were moving rather quickly. Hakuba and I only just ended our relationship a couple of weeks ago... And already I'm wondering if I like you. But I can only think it's in my head; everything's an illusion. Ahh, I don't understand love or emotions. I'll wait. I'd have to wait anyways, but... I'll wait. I love your brain... Your creativity, everything. It's rather brilliant. I hope to be able to tell you this one day... ~A Waiting Hypocrite
