@@evanc3160-A few suggestions: avoid bars and hook-up websites if you want a relationship, try social activities in person - just go up and say Hi and give your name and ask for theirs. Or use dating websites. Just some random thoughts. Happy hunting.
Rusty Writer thanks man. Yea i don’t like the bars. Never been to one. I just figure it’s gonna be all the out and proud flamboyant guys that lack morals. I want someone like me. Masculine, good morals, you know what I’m sayin?

I don't think fem guys are immoral and masculine guys are moral. I hope that's not what you think.
Rusty Writer all the feminine gay guys I know have bad morals. I know OF many that have good morals. But have yet to run into them. But I like masc guys as far as relationships go.
I just wish I could sit with these incredible people and enjoy every single bit of the stories they have to tell. Every gay person knows how lonely our subjective experience is and the fact that most of our peers are hidden in closets just makes it more so. I'm 42 years old and I'm so proud that before me, there were these people, my people. If I can listen to their stories, I won't feel lonely, for through storytelling their experience connects to mine and mine will connect to the next generations of gay people.
I have just turned 79 and three years ago yesterday I lost my beloved partner of 47 years, who collapsed and died in my arms. The experience was devastating and I still get flash backs. The love I had for him was so deep I can not imagine anyone loving anyone deeper. I am now entering a different period in my life where I am looking for friendship and companionship. All our long term friends that we had together tended to be older and so the inevitable is happening, they are also leaving me. I lost a dear friend of 42 years only a few months ago and he was only 73. Life is a continuing changing scene which I think one has to adapt to.
43 is still young. Don't give up..and keep searching. But whatever you do..don't sit back and wait for love to knock on your door and deliver like a Pizza delivery man. The more effort you make to find the right guy..the better your chances my friend.
@Eliza Fifteen thousand children die each *day* from preventable causes according to UNICEF. That is your proof there is no "god"..for what "god" would allow the most innocent of us to die needlessly like that every single day? Certainly not a "god" of goodness and love. If a President or King allowed fifteen thousand of his peoples children to die daily from preventable causes we would call them a monster and war criminal. So what would you call a "god" who allows the same thing? This is the ultimate proof there is no such thing as a "god" my dear..for what good is a "god" that allows such horrible things to happen? None at all.
@@Nightbird. Most of the tragedies the happen in this world it's because of sin you can't blame God for the evil on people's heart. God allows men to do your will. We as humans have to take responsibility for actions and stop trying to blame our creator.
@Eliza And shame on you for not having the courage nor intelligence to reply back to me since it was you I was speaking too. Probably because you know in your heart I am correct.
Beautiful story. Brought me to tears seeing myself in so many of these people. Cheers to Opening Doors London for creating a welcoming atmosphere. God forbid we would do the same here in the U.S.!!

I am not gay and I don't understand gay but they have every right to live the way they wish. It is funny some people think they can tell other people how to live, I never understood that.
I understand so well. I am in Australia, 76, married to my accepting wife for 51 years. She had MS for 26 years and I was her carer for almost all that time. She has now passed and I am now finally free to be who I am. I went through 13 years of reparative therapy including electronic shock therapy. But I don't have a group of gay seniors to relate to as in this video. It must be very special to have that.
It’s amazing to me that after all the progress made over the years in acceptance of gays; in some sectors of society the prejudice is returning and growing among the more conservative groups. Growing up in an era of strong homophobia, I’ve witnessed and experienced the new openness, but now I see efforts being made to resurrect the prejudice. It’s particularly disturbing to see the return of homophobia in so many of our political leaders in the USA. I’m hoping young people will not experience a growing prejudice. It’s also alarming to see other issues, like abortion, seemingly regressing in again. The last thing we need is our young people to see the prejudice resurface in harmful ways. It’s important that we both celebrate their openness, and we support them where the prejudice reappears.
I'm not gay but I will say their will always be conflict & indifference from others be it about sexuality race gender politics religion the list goes on their will always be problems that's reality & it always has been that way & it always will , all 1 can do is do them live their life how they see fit & just be them it's that simple . So long as humans exists so too will conflict so too will difference it's that simple . I'm heterosexual yet I know many straight people have a problem with me because the stuff I say do how I think how I feel I can't control their beliefs their words their actions more importantly I can't control them I only control myself & I go from their I deal with them when it comes to them .
Really, why won't the LGBT leave children alone. Why the indoctrination of children in schools of LGBT ideologies? Why are teachers being sacked and some Christian preachers being held in custody for only saying that marriage is between one man and one woman? Leave them alone? Sure
@@najeyrifai293 criminalising disagreement of LGBTs moral decadency by the state thru hate speech is not indoctrination. Making it mandatory in British secondary schools to teach young adults LGBT lifestyle choices is not indoctrination? Going after businesses that simply support normal marriages like Chick fil a is not mob tyranny? Sacking doctors, teachers and almost any person from place of work because they will not consent to LGBT demands is not mob tyranny and indoctrination? What planet are you from?
I'm 65 living in San Francisco. Most of my friends died of AIDS or they moved out of CA. This has brought down the number of friends by one digit. Also I feel invisible in the gay world as I walk down the street to see mostly younger gay men who are not interested in older man. I'll admit I'm not that interested in younger men, I prefer men my age.
It's thanks to these people that me and other gays can live our lives. If they didn't go through what they did and fought back it would still be like that.
I am 24 but if i find a decent guy who loves me i will take care for of him till his last breath i don't want to see him spending and waiting his life alone in this cafe 😔 in my country we are really family oriented our grandparents still staying with us as one big happy family
I saw on your profile you are from the Philippines..and I think it's awesome how in many ways you guys there are ahead of us here in the USA. You even have Mr. Gay pageants..which we don't have here. I have many Pinoy friends including family members and would really love to visit your country one day! 🙂
We salute the older generation for paving the way for a brighter tomorrow for LGBTQ+ community. I am 40 years old now and during my time in the 90's and early 2000's it was still difficult time. It is not a choice and a could be a very difficult situation especially if you are on the wrong environment.
I can totally relate to the documentary throughout my entire life being gay from my very early childhood years. A very moving documentary throughout which i can't thank you enough Channel 4 THANK YOU ABSOLUTELY 🏳️🌈❤🤝👑🏳️🌈
It was very hard for young gays in the 50s 60s lhad a partner and in my work ii had to put up with ahy are you not married what do you do one guy used to target me all the time and so on i was told i smellet and so but i had a happy relayinship with my partner
Hello Bronwen Fairbrother i will help you to bring everything to the way you wanted it to be do your daughter stay with you and still show all that to you
Seriously speaking..this video also teaches us the importance of dental care for seniors. Some of the teeth in this video lead me to believe the people have serious health problems. Dental care should be free for everybody!
I think the men in this video are happy because they are around people their own age. Problems can arise when they try to surround themselves with younger men - especially half their age. Gay men under 35 don't hate men who are over 35. They simply have a stronger connection with people their own age. Unfortunately, when the younger gay men pass 35, they'll want to hang around younger men too. The cycle continues. Let's not forget that physical appearance plays a role in men under 35 not wanting to hang with older guys too. Also, everyone is aware that older non-straights struggled in the past. It was brutal. But that doesn't mean young people need to constantly hear them dwell about the past. As long as their stories have been told and documented as a part of history, then everything is good. And let's keep evolving so we don't repeat the past.
Hi nice to meet you my name is lora from Kenya am 29 years old.not yet blessed with kids future plans though.I am genuinely looking for a connection with an an older man than I am because I really got traumatised dating a younger dude and my heart was heartbroken 2years ago which left me in deep turmoil....I have tried dating apps but it's scary coz it's full of scammers..and people with fake profiles...I just want a short at love am healed and ready to give it one more try.if you genuinely know someone I don't care about the race who truly needs affection don't hesitate to connect with me.....just reply and I will share my contact for a video chat
They say that it is easier now for young people, but young people who go around holding gay hands will find out very quickly what it was like if they go to certain areas in any Western nation.
I'll probably end up dying by suicide, I'm too weird and awkward to be in a relationship. I also can't build a relationship, I always tap out whenever it gets serious. I find it hard to make friends, the ones I have are all straight females, they will all marry and have kids. At some point, my career will probably reach its peak, I will have travelled the world and helped a few people become great... but I'm unlikely to be in a monogamous relationship. I'll probably end it all, I fantasize about it sometimes, but a couple of shots and a list of what to look forward to keeps me going.
Jay K, wondering if someone you make great, or make feel great, will be with you. Maybe kind of know a little of what you’re saying. Have a drink for me sometime. Nice you have a list, I’ve pretty much given them up.
please do not kill yourself. I used to be suicidal and surviving a suicide attempt is really painful...and lots of people survive. Here is a hotline that I call when things get rough instead of trying to kill myself like I used to do: 1-541-754-0110. CARDV (US hotline to discuss pain and physical and emotional violence can be used by anyone but most people who use it are women, but anyone can use it). I think maybe you can discuss the emotional or psychological violence that you have experienced when feeling suicidal and they can listen to you and help validate your feelings and experiences and help you find your own solutions. :)
I wish you happiness despite those such difficult emotions and times you deal with in the gay community. Well, it is not acting as a community but as a toxic anti social being, so you have to find the few good people out there
❤️Please people, there are so many abused and abandoned children who need decent homes... and if you can provide one, do not invest in man's science and technology (to help you have or make you one), adopt a child in need!!! They do not need to be your blood to feel like a real family... Fore, we are all created from 💜💖 *OUR CREATOR* 💖💜 do not allow for the children to suffer because of the parent's bad choices! Parents, that are proven guilty of these crimes in hatefully torturing children, in any kind of way (should themselves be euthanized, but instead)... should have to undergo a state mandated procedure, to forcefully have female sterilisations and vasectomies done, be sanctioned by state law for 7-14 years, in a psychiatric rehabilitation center/facility, be on a trial basis community service assignment with their state counties in mutiple troubled youth programs, under the guide of a trusted child care specialists and a strict law enforcement officer's instructive supervision (at all times)... Remember, babies... did not ask to be here (so why do they pay for our misguided mistakes ), procreation aged people, made decisions in being irresponsible and reckless (this excludes, females who give birth due to assault, rape, incestuous rape, test subjects of man's involuntary experimentations, and mothers who pass away due to birth complications... as it is not there fault)! Remember, babies did not ask to be here (so why do they pay for our mistakes), people that are older, made the a decision in being irresponsible! 💜Psalm 127:3 "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." 💜 quoted from ESV bible If you agree, please share! ❤️ Blessings!
There a new show in town called life. Get out there and live it. I'm 75 and plan on living this thing called life to the fullest, I have many friend both gay and straight. Some one once told me life is a bowl of cherries you learn to spit out the pits and move on.Life's a party and I'm going to live it until some on does last call and they bring down the curtain and I go out with a big band.
I take my hat of to them older generation. I know how hard it is. I was 50years of age i was outted yr half ago.. i was married 28yrs. Carried it from i was 12yrs.. to scared to tell anyone.. an awful burden to carry folks.xxx
GAY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER LIKE PEOPLE. WHEN WE ARE ACCEPTED BY EVERYONE, AS IT IS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, GAY PEOPLE WILL HAVE ARRIVED. MEN WHO ARE INSECURE ABOUT THEIR STRAIGHT EXISTANCE ARE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HOMOSEXUALITY. GET OVER ALL TYHIS OR MOVE ON TO BETTER FRIENDS.

I am fortunate to Live in Hawai'i where being agy has a cultural aspect which is common throughout Polynesia. The arrival of the Christian Church brought with it the legal framework to penalize and the religious bigotry to persecute. I am 77 yrs old and teach senior Tai chi Qi gong and hv never been treated with nothing but respect. I don't regret my past and the battles we hv had and I wish all young people everywhere the strength to battle the anti bigots of today. You know who they are.
Come out of your closet and stay out and fight for your rights.👍🏻 I’m from the US. I’m 69 and I was never in the closet. I knew what I was early on and was always true to myself. I was excepted by my parents from the get go. I’ve had a wonderful partner now for 25 years.

Alternative Media when two women together or two men together can conceive children then I will agree its natural. Until then it is unnatural and artificial.
PabloThePabo That's kind of a bad arguement, since animals commit pedophelia and cannibalism. You shouldn't use animal behavior to justify your argument.
Alt Me what about watching videos on your pocket device? Is that natural? Anyways, if it isn't then how do explain animals displaying that type of behavior
Alt Me you know we're not all that different. Same ingredients and everything. Plus, ancient civilizations accepted homosexuality, until Christianity and such came along. So go ahead and keep telling yourself that humans are soooo much different than all the other animals you just throw yourself in a loop😂
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life ROMANS 10:13 For “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
You can persecute me all you want but you can't hurt me. You all need prayer. You should pray and accept God in your heart and let in his peace, love and joy.
@@TheSpringMood Let them swim in their own sin and claim there is no God. When they will stand before God and God will say,"DEPART FROM ME SINNER I DO NOT KNOW YOU". Then they will realize that there is a God.
@Predator Hunter Supporter Man wrote a whole list of what he thought were the sins in the Bible and in Leviticus one of those unforgivable sins is that a person is not allowed to own nor wear clothes that have more than one type of fabric in it. Also another sin is they were not allowed to cut their hair, like Jesus had long hair. These are all stupid outdated rules that modern educated Christians dont follow but hateful bigots love to cherry pick hate from the bible to use like a weapon.
The older generation are heroes, courageous and fierce. We honor you, salute you and bless you for your sacrifices.
Just remember because of the old generation now we have the rights , respect them guys

So long as humans exists so too will conflict so too will difference it's that simple . I'm heterosexual yet I know many straight people have a problem with me because the stuff I say do how I think how I feel I can't control their beliefs their words their actions more importantly I can't control them I only control myself & I go from their I deal with them when it comes to them .
Really, why won't the LGBT leave children alone. Why the indoctrination of children in schools of LGBT ideologies? Why are teachers being sacked and some Christian preachers being held in custody for only saying that marriage is between one man and one woman? Leave them alone? Sure
@@RestingonHope What are you on about? Give me an example of indoctrination!
@@najeyrifai293 criminalising disagreement of LGBTs moral decadency by the state thru hate speech is not indoctrination. Making it mandatory in British secondary schools to teach young adults LGBT lifestyle choices is not indoctrination? Going after businesses that simply support normal marriages like Chick fil a is not mob tyranny? Sacking doctors, teachers and almost any person from place of work because they will not consent to LGBT demands is not mob tyranny and indoctrination?
What planet are you from?
I'm 65 living in San Francisco. Most of my friends died of AIDS or they moved out of CA. This has brought down the number of friends by one digit. Also I feel invisible in the gay world as I walk down the street to see mostly younger gay men who are not interested in older man. I'll admit I'm not that interested in younger men, I prefer men my age.
It's thanks to these people that me and other gays can live our lives. If they didn't go through what they did and fought back it would still be like that.
I am 24 but if i find a decent guy who loves me i will take care for of him till his last breath i don't want to see him spending and waiting his life alone in this cafe 😔 in my country we are really family oriented our grandparents still staying with us as one big happy family

@Jay Harter hey.
You are welcome to add me on telegram AsiaN De leon @zeppelin19190, i am 31 YO but will love to make friends like you
I saw on your profile you are from the Philippines..and I think it's awesome how in many ways you guys there are ahead of us here in the USA. You even have Mr. Gay pageants..which we don't have here. I have many Pinoy friends including family members and would really love to visit your country one day! 🙂
God bless the people of this documentary. Very brave.
I agree, purple heart material 100%
We salute the older generation for paving the way for a brighter tomorrow for LGBTQ+ community. I am 40 years old now and during my time in the 90's and early 2000's it was still difficult time. It is not a choice and a could be a very difficult situation especially if you are on the wrong environment.
This was great. We need more of this type of thing. The world needs to stop looking at older people as invisible
Tenjin Ikeda hey
Trevor Leskosky hey
Tenjin Ikeda how are u and where u from
There was no such thing as "LGBTQI+" when I was growing up. You were either gay or straight, and if you were gay, you kept your mouth shut about it.
I can totally relate to the documentary throughout my entire life being gay from my very early childhood years. A very moving documentary throughout which i can't thank you enough Channel 4 THANK YOU ABSOLUTELY 🏳️🌈❤🤝👑🏳️🌈
Love you man
God Bless You and Thank for sharing your story.
This is brilliant. Just beautiful stories
-it’s just a phase-
'It's difficult for young people to understand who difficult it was for us at the time....'
Thanks to ALL for sharing ! I am with you.
It was very hard for young gays in the 50s 60s lhad a partner and in my work ii had to put up with ahy are you not married what do you do one guy used to target me all the time and so on i was told i smellet and so but i had a happy relayinship with my partner
Very moving to hear their stories.
Such wonderful and inspiring stories to hear.
These are the people who should be celebrated at Pride events. NOT adults behaving totally inappropriately in front of kids!
Thank you to all of you for every trail you blazed so my daughter and her girlfriend can be sixteen and out together!
Hello Bronwen Fairbrother i will help you to bring everything to the way you wanted it to be do your daughter stay with you and still show all that to you
Seriously speaking..this video also teaches us the importance of dental care for seniors. Some of the teeth in this video lead me to believe the people have serious health problems. Dental care should be free for everybody!
in France its free for every body.
I think the men in this video are happy because they are around people their own age. Problems can arise when they try to surround themselves with younger men - especially half their age. Gay men under 35 don't hate men who are over 35. They simply have a stronger connection with people their own age. Unfortunately, when the younger gay men pass 35, they'll want to hang around younger men too. The cycle continues. Let's not forget that physical appearance plays a role in men under 35 not wanting to hang with older guys too. Also, everyone is aware that older non-straights struggled in the past. It was brutal. But that doesn't mean young people need to constantly hear them dwell about the past. As long as their stories have been told and documented as a part of history, then everything is good. And let's keep evolving so we don't repeat the past.
I’m in love with an older gentleman. It’s interesting to hear what he and sooner or later me will face

They say that it is easier now for young people, but young people who go around holding gay hands will find out very quickly what it was like if they go to certain areas in any Western nation.
Hey there, I'm from California 34 yrs old single gay,, are you???
im from Paris. 2 times more older. single.gay
I.m 60 next year… I think I qualify for this film 😢…
Thanks 😊
Heart warming.
These people are HEROES.
I'll probably end up dying by suicide, I'm too weird and awkward to be in a relationship. I also can't build a relationship, I always tap out whenever it gets serious. I find it hard to make friends, the ones I have are all straight females, they will all marry and have kids. At some point, my career will probably reach its peak, I will have travelled the world and helped a few people become great... but I'm unlikely to be in a monogamous relationship. I'll probably end it all, I fantasize about it sometimes, but a couple of shots and a list of what to look forward to keeps me going.
Jay K, wondering if someone you make great, or make feel great, will be with you. Maybe kind of know a little of what you’re saying. Have a drink for me sometime. Nice you have a list, I’ve pretty much given them up.
J hey
please do not kill yourself. I used to be suicidal and surviving a suicide attempt is really painful...and lots of people survive. Here is a hotline that I call when things get rough instead of trying to kill myself like I used to do: 1-541-754-0110. CARDV (US hotline to discuss pain and physical and emotional violence can be used by anyone but most people who use it are women, but anyone can use it). I think maybe you can discuss the emotional or psychological violence that you have experienced when feeling suicidal and they can listen to you and help validate your feelings and experiences and help you find your own solutions. :)
Lemur Lover hey
I wish you happiness despite those such difficult emotions and times you deal with in the gay community. Well, it is not acting as a community but as a toxic anti social being, so you have to find the few good people out there
❤️Please people, there are so many abused and abandoned children who need decent homes... and if you can provide one, do not invest in man's science and technology (to help you have or make you one), adopt a child in need!!!
They do not need to be your blood to feel like a real family...
Fore, we are all created from
💜💖 *OUR CREATOR* 💖💜
do not allow for the children to suffer because of the parent's bad choices!
Parents, that are proven guilty of these crimes in hatefully torturing children, in any kind of way (should themselves be euthanized, but instead)...
should have to undergo a state mandated procedure, to forcefully have female sterilisations and vasectomies done, be sanctioned by state law for 7-14 years, in a psychiatric rehabilitation center/facility, be on a trial basis community service assignment with their state counties in mutiple troubled youth programs, under the guide of a trusted child care specialists and a strict law enforcement officer's instructive supervision (at all times)...
Remember, babies... did not ask to be here (so why do they pay for our misguided mistakes ), procreation aged people, made decisions in being irresponsible and reckless (this excludes, females who give birth due to assault, rape, incestuous rape, test subjects of man's involuntary experimentations, and mothers who pass away due to birth complications... as it is not there fault)!
Remember, babies did not ask to be here (so why do they pay for our mistakes), people that are older, made the a decision in being irresponsible!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward." 💜

Just a footnote: The London Opening Doors Projected closed down on February 29th 2024.
There a new show in town called life. Get out there and live it. I'm 75 and plan on living this thing called life to the fullest, I have many friend both gay and straight. Some one once told me life is a bowl of cherries you learn to spit out the pits and move on.Life's a party and I'm going to live it until some on does last call and they bring down the curtain and I go out with a big band.

I take my hat of to them older generation. I know how hard it is. I was 50years of age i was outted yr half ago.. i was married 28yrs. Carried it from i was 12yrs.. to scared to tell anyone.. an awful burden to carry folks.xxx
GAY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER LIKE PEOPLE. WHEN WE ARE ACCEPTED BY EVERYONE, AS IT IS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, GAY PEOPLE WILL HAVE ARRIVED. MEN WHO ARE INSECURE ABOUT THEIR STRAIGHT EXISTANCE ARE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HOMOSEXUALITY. GET OVER ALL TYHIS OR MOVE ON TO BETTER FRIENDS.
Very interesting. Thanks!
Absolutely Brilliant At Last I Can Watch The Remarkable Outstanding Documentary Again
Thank You For Sharing Absolutely Outstanding Brilliant Documentary Phenomenal ❤🤝👑🏳️🌈
I am fortunate to Live in Hawai'i where being agy has a cultural aspect which is common throughout Polynesia. The arrival of the Christian Church brought with it the legal framework to penalize and the religious bigotry to persecute. I am 77 yrs old and teach senior Tai chi Qi gong and hv never been treated with nothing but respect. I don't regret my past and the battles we hv had and I wish all young people everywhere the strength to battle the anti bigots of today. You know who they are.
Come out of your closet and stay out and fight for your rights.👍🏻 I’m from the US. I’m 69 and I was never in the closet. I knew what I was early on and was always true to myself. I was excepted by my parents from the get go. I’ve had a wonderful partner now for 25 years.
Ours is a heavy burden to bear😪💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
It's easier but still not easy
Why does this remind me of the mutants in X-Men.
Bec there was one scene where one of their mothers asked, "Have you tried NOT being a mutant?"
Yeah I hear ya Hard dicks and Airplanes!
Just like corn are you going to be there counting!
be happy

You think your a woman but your body is a man. Imagination vs reality.
more like disassociation (possibly brought on by trauma)
This is not that month don’t get it twisted.
What do you mean? Homophobe much?
😢😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What they do isn't natural. It's a fact.
Well it happens in nature so it clearly is natural. Can't be more obvious really
Alternative Media when two women together or two men together can conceive children then I will agree its natural. Until then it is unnatural and artificial.
so infertile people are artificial? What about people who don't want kids? People who get their tubes tied?
Del the internet isn’t natural either, yet you’re still running your yap here.
PabloThePabo That's kind of a bad arguement, since animals commit pedophelia and cannibalism. You shouldn't use animal behavior to justify your argument.
❤❤❤
,ie
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is sick! People like this are just confused it’s only love when it’s a man and a woman It’s not natural!
Anah85 Actually shaving and wearing makeup is natural because you are trying to attract a mate... A WOMAN ATTRACTS A MAN or the other way around...
Alt Me what about watching videos on your pocket device? Is that natural? Anyways, if it isn't then how do explain animals displaying that type of behavior
Alt Me lol. You were saying it's not natural. Now you're saying humans SHOULDNT be natural. Choose one🙄
Alt Me you know we're not all that different. Same ingredients and everything. Plus, ancient civilizations accepted homosexuality, until Christianity and such came along. So go ahead and keep telling yourself that humans are soooo much different than all the other animals you just throw yourself in a loop😂
The internet isn’t natural either, yet you’re still here running your yap.
Great promotions

Wayde Plawicki you’re disgusting :)

1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
ROMANS 10:13
For “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
Let's not forget the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. God will be the ultimate judge.
TheSpringMood god isn’t real :3
Amen
You can persecute me all you want but you can't hurt me. You all need prayer. You should pray and accept God in your heart and let in his peace, love and joy.
@@TheSpringMood Let them swim in their own sin and claim there is no God. When they will stand before God and God will say,"DEPART FROM ME SINNER I DO NOT KNOW YOU". Then they will realize that there is a God.
Religion is a poisonous that has and continues to cause unnecessary harm to people and relationships.
no matter what you say, this goes against God
@Predator Hunter Supporter Man wrote a whole list of what he thought were the sins in the Bible and in Leviticus one of those unforgivable sins is that a person is not allowed to own nor wear clothes that have more than one type of fabric in it. Also another sin is they were not allowed to cut their hair, like Jesus had long hair. These are all stupid outdated rules that modern educated Christians dont follow but hateful bigots love to cherry pick hate from the bible to use like a weapon.
@truthdottcom Hateful bigots like you go against the love of God.
truthdottcom
God isn’t real.
The world is sick!
Rosa a Rodriguez that’s cuz your in it lol
Agreed. Hateful people like you have made it that way.
