    Why did they feel the ‘need’ to enact anti-sodomy laws which sometimes even specifically mentioned same-sex relationships if there were no gay people?

    My mom has moved onto the Bargaining phase from Denial, pivoting to saying, “well sure there were always a few, but most of them now are doing it because it’s popular, and aren’t ‘real’ gay people”.

      Lmaooo, “popular”. I find it so funny when people unironically think that

      Like, yeah, I’m just gonna go date and sleep with a person I’m not attracted to because it’s “popular”, lol

      Though the fucked up thing is that, this is something that has happened with gay people trying to be straight

      • When I was in middle school, I was sorta wondering if guys just pretended sexual attraction was a thing because it was expected of them.

        Then I realized that such seemed like a ridiculous theory (although I still assumed it was exaggerated for social reasons and didn’t really think sexual attracted was related to interest in sex for a long time after…).
