      It's never-ending. If i have a gf, i will say "my girlfriend this, my girlfriend that". But having been single for over 5 years. Ive crawled into an omission closet. I'm tired of having that conversation, where youre preaching or teaching people.
      Gay men have an advantage, that (for the most part) women won't be trying to come on to them.
      After you tell them.
      You tell guys you date women, they start offering three****s.
      Or looking at you lustfully bc they now have in their mind you can't possibly be a prude in bed. Bc you sleep w women.
      People treat you as a confessional. They tell you all their same-sex experiences or attractions.
      They keep on the down low.
      And At Work. Ive never known what to do! In real life you can always walk away from a conversation gone south.
      But in a environment, where ur locked in perpetuity w people, day after day, i just think, its mellower to avoid, divisive topics.
      Whether i like it or not. Its a divisive topic.
      With a gf, sure, I'll tell everyone, bc, i wouldn't want my gf to not acknowledge shes w someone. i wouldn't her to think, I'm ashamed. Or hiding her.
      But if just about me.
      My entire family knows.
      Thats more than enough.

      I’m glad to see someone else in these comments recognize that, seeing all the comments feeling bad for Greg makes me feel like I’m hallucinating. It’s very obvious to me he was trying to soften the way he expressed his views and not step on toes in a way that was very ‘love the sinner, hate the sin.’ Which is still very harmful rhetoric, especially one that is packaged in a book and sold as a ‘Im gay and a Christian’ book, that presumably lots of queer youth in the church might read.

      The problem is that we make it controversial. The problem is Greg not being able to fully express his points (unless that is how he wants to express himself and his views) because he has to worry about other people's feelings the whole time. Greg has found peace, fulfilment and meaning in the way he lives his life. The minute anyone expresses an opinion/perspective and as a people, including us QUEER people, internalize it showcases unresolved conflict within ourselves and NOT that of others, even if you are convinced that your points are correct. Sal getting triggered by Greg expressing HIS opinions, and HIS views, and HIS experiences sounds like Sal has a lot of work to do to stop being so 'triggered' the whole time.

      I understood what he was saying as different to your interpretation. My understanding is he finds fulfillment in his relationships with others without the act of sex. There are many people that have the same opinions as him without the religion included but I think the ones that had past negative experiences regarding religion were letting those experiences affect their interpretation of him and his beliefs. He was very respectful. Ironically Sal was calling hypocrisy meanwhile she was being hypocritical, she allowed her experiences surrounding religion to judge and condemn his experiences and beliefs. Even if you don't agree with someone you can still be accepting and respectful.

So, I'm glad that Sal pressed Greg a bit because I think that he too is unsure about his understanding of why he is celibate and how his religion is factoring into his identity. Without Sal, I don't think that would have been acknowledged as an issue Greg is still battling with.

    I'm an atheist, and I fully see how religion has imposed a ton of trauma on the world. I am NOT a fan of religion in general. But on a personal level, if you don't try to impose it on everyone else and you feel more happy and true to yourself with that belief there should be space for that. He shouldn't have to force himself to not be celibate just to make people less uncomfortable with his personal belief

I've been studying abroad for a few years now and although I was scared at first, I'm out to most the people around me. But I'm still closeted to my family both as an ex-muslim and a queer person. And everyday I struggle with the idea of my parents disowning me or hating me if I came out. Both of my parents are openly homophobic and I have to pretend to be a different person around them.

We convince ourselves that it's for their sake that they cannot know who we are, but I hope one day there comes a point in your journey where you can share your full self with them.

      @@reno419rockstar I mean.. the way the word is used is really to indicate that there are a number of truly important people in this person's life who have absolutely no idea that this person is queer. It's easy to say that your sexuality is no one else's business, but imagine if you couldn't share any of the joy that comes from your romantic relationships, with the people who are important to you. And also, being born Muslim, and raised in a particular kind of upbringing that's unique to Muslim individuals, it's really not that simple. If this isn't a life story and journey that you can relate to, then I implore you to practice some empathy and try to imagine why this could be a difficult thing for some very real, and very human, individuals to go through.

Lots of queer kids and teens get picked on and are straight up bullied by their peers. Some of these bullies learn to pick on others, perhaps because they've heard a parent say something truly nasty about queer people. Or rather, they see/hear other kids behaving in such a way to queer kids. They then feel emboldened to do the same. Their actions and words cause a ripple effect, teaching other kids the exact same thing. And they carry these attitudes and behaviours well into their adulthood, then passing it on to their own children, effectively conditioning homophobia into the next generation. The cycle then repeats.

    i understand the pushback greg got. what he is saying is what people in the church say when they’re trying to be somewhat accepting. “i’m ok with you being gay but not acting on it within the parameters i set”. it’s super unhealthy and damaging to himself and others he speaks that to. even tho he doesn’t mean it to be/feel like that’s where he’s coming from. he’s still drinking the religious cool aid and i think they were trying to get him to see that
    edit addition: you can see the religious trauma come out of sal and bit in others by him saying this. it is damaging. and i can see why ppl say he was being badgered, but when you’re badgered by the church your whole life and they’re actively working against you, like in politics, you can see why they had something to say against it and why it became a heated issue

      I had a similar experience but in the UK it was called Section 28 enacted by Margaret Thatcher's government in 1988 which prohibited schools from discussing homosexuality at all. It was essentially the prototype for Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill and harmed an entire generation. It led to a huge increase in state-sanctioned homophobia in schools and general public. Fortunately it was repealed in 2003 but that damage still lingers on today for older people.

    Though I do think that there is quite some dissonance in how Greg is thinking, I really hate how Sally just pushed the idea that he is a bigot. Everyone has their own journey and phase of acceptence. There is a reason why a lot of queer people feel alienated and not accepted even in the queer community. A main sentiment I think a lot in the queer community have againts the religious community is that someone should not enforce their beliefs on others. She was literally trying to enforce her beliefs on Greg by badgering him when Greg stated multiple times that what he belief was his *current* belief. He even mentioned growth and how he would look back on himself 5 years from now. He realised that he is still in his journey of acceptance and Sal was pushing or even forcing him. His sentiments are common in religious queer communities in that it is a way to hold on to relationships and not be cut-off by a lot of people. He may even be hurting when he said that. At the end, Sally said that she did not respect his belief but respected him as a person, I know the video is a dialogue/debate but that she demonstrated was not a respectful one.

Think about nuns or priests, there ARE religious people that choose to devote themselves to their faith so much they are fine living their life without romantic love - it is what it is. I understand there’s a difference when you’re only doing that because you’re queer, but the badgering of Greg was ridiculous.
    Instead of WASTING YOUR TIME doing that, someone could’ve simply alluded to Greg’s journey being his own but it can make it difficult for queer youth growing up in religious households. When bigoted people are aware of queer folks like Greg, they can use him as a symbol or marker to continue their homophobia. The impact of someone like Greg is harmful, but he himself clearly was not trying to push the way he’s living his life onto other queer people.

      I should probably say also, I’m trans, a total subjectivist (especially with morality), grew up catholic, and I understand well how potent of a trigger it is to hear someone say earnestly that your [queer] identity/life is immoral/wrong.
      Sal should probably have stepped out and come back precisely because of the emotions triggered, meaning that they were rendered unable to think clearly and communicate. The flip of seeing Greg as on their side to the attacker seemed to turn Sal into defense mode

      The only reason he doesn't impose his beliefs on anyone is because he doesn't have the power to, so he has no choice but to tolerate others. But best believe if he was in any position of power, he would definitely be voting against LGBT rights lol.

No one was criticizing her for her choices and the way she went on her queer journey yet she thinks it's okay to judge, criticize and dictate to Greg how he should feel and what he should be pursuing in his journey.

      ​@reno419rockstar It's not about "telling people about your sex life". Even for straight people, who you're attracted to or dating is something that comes up all the time in casual conversations. Someone might complement your shirt and you'd say "thanks, it's a gift from my husband/boyfriend" etc. It's not that you're going out of your way to tell everyone who you're having sex with. Straight people are able to talk freely about their romantic partners without second thoughts, fear, or a need to hide, so they don't realize just how often this stuff comes up in day to day life. But if you're queer and closeted, you realize it a lot more because you have to often lie or just be mindful of what you say or show other people so you don't accidentally out yourself

    I felt bad for Greg when Sal was grilling him about what he believes. Just because his interpretation of religion is different than hers doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect her or other queer people. I felt bad for him that he thought that but the fact that he’s celibate doesn’t affect anyone except him and that’s his decision to make. I’m ace so maybe i’m just misunderstanding the value of sex in most people’s lives but if he’s happy with his decision to be celibate and he’s finding love and belonging in his friendships, why can’t that be enough? It at a point where it’s like if he had a different religion than her; you don’t see people getting mad at Christians or Muslims who believe you have to be part of that faith to get into heaven. They don’t have the same religious beliefs and that’s okay. He’s clearly supportive of the LGBTQ community so why should it matter what he personally believes

    I don’t appreciate Sal’s hostility towards Greg. It’s one thing to disagree but another to be so openly rude and make disgusted faces. As queer people, we all have to reconcile our sexuality with our values. For some of us, it’s easier because there are no religious constraints. But for others, we do what we can with what we have. It’s entirely possible to be gay and a Christian, and for someone in the lgbt community to disrespect that shows that hatred comes from both sides of the equation.
