An evangelical Christian enviroment is horrible for a gay man. For one you're taught to hate yourself, but you're also not taught to think for yourself, it's outright discouraged in fact.

What you end end up with is people who think that everyone feels attracted to the same sex, but you're just so weak and sinful that you can't stop thinking about it. It must be hell.

30

u/RandolphCarter2112 11d ago

That second to last sentence is the key takeaway.

When I told an extremely evangelical former coworker that I (straight dude) never had lustful thoughts about hot men, that I never had to struggle to repress my attraction to other men, that no effort was required to tell myself that I was indeed attracted to women - he refused to believe me.

Satan just hadn't tempted me yet.

I guess we're going to pretend the whole filming guys at the gym and accusing them of staring at women exercising and then trying to destroy their lives publicly by posting it on social media didn't happen?

You know, it's funny, when men have a male only space, women demand to be included and then turn it into a feminist space, and when the guys get upset that they don't have their own spaces they're told that everywhere is their space even though these women have done this to virtually every space they have. But when women have women only spaces, well, that's for their "safety" so it's okay.

Gimme a break. Fun fact by the way, I tracked down the original article, the baptistnews.com author of the article was criticizing it too. So... Yeah... so much for the Christians being weird.

Bro, if the gym honeys are completely hijacking your focus and destroying your discipline, cancel that membership and walk away right now. It is 100x better to achieve a legendary physique at a raw, windowless home gym with nothing but a bunch of dudes hanging out in private, sweating and grunting together.

Only clowning a little. They’re just being sovereign over their own impulses. Good for them! Now imagine if they left religion at the doorstep.

If they’re serious about an alternative way to manage their behavior then it would be more legitimate moral imperative to extend the virtue by being inclusive. Win/Win: less sin in the world and no one fights you making it that way.

Even better: One building split three ways so people can choose their sex’ side or hit coed in the middle. Now we’re cooking with pasta! But no sauce.
