It frustrates me to see- every time in this section- atheist and christians going at it over something so foolish. The point of this forum is to ask introspective questions about ourselves and our religion, but it turns into an insult fest between all the religions. As a buddhist, i do not personally believe in god, but I do not feel the need to ridicule those who do. It just strikes me as humorous that the athiests who insult the christians and tell them they should stop believing in god then turn and complain that Christians don't respect their beliefs! That seems just as infuriating as any Jehovah's witness knocking at my door. I can't understand why there has to be such a hatred, and why we can't forgoe our differences and try to better ourselves by accepting what we cannot change.

I'm trapped

In tingling wires

Electricity running down my spine

Guitar strings wrapped around my wrists

Attaching me to unsung chords

And bliss, oh bliss

Sinks into me like gasoline

The oily iridescence

Seeping into every pore

Filthy masculine manaquins

Melting into asphalt

Like tar on a hot day

Wind around the clarinet keys

And bliss, yes bliss

Wipes away the mystery

Of long forgotten memories

A clean soul of brass

Bright paper lanterns

On crystalline waters

Reflects heaven onto the moon

The microphone shrieks in the distance

And bliss, sweet bliss

Works its way up from my throat

Lovely candy for my ears

Syrup for the soul

This poem belongs to me!

If you steal it, I will find you and come after you.

I keep having these gumdrop memories

Sticky-sweet, like popsicle juice

Melting my hands into the one perfect entity

Lifting me outside myself

They beat the big bad wolf, you know

Little girls turned into pigs

AK47s strapped to their sides like the softest silk

A maple syrup cure for all the ills

How far will you go to receive it?

Death is faster than you know

What will bring you to the brink?

Then me

The girl on the porch

The smell of flesh in the oven

The blast of bombs in the background

The cookies in my hand

My deceptive sugarland.

first of all, a brief definition.

a bisexual person(me)-attracted to both men and women, not necessarily equally. a bisexual man may be more attracted to a women than a man, but he is still bisexual.

an asexual person-enjoys the company of men and women, but has no attraction to either sex/does not desire sex.

Now, I've heard from people who consider bisexuality to be asexuality in denial. I don't necessarily believe that, but i would like your opinion. I also wouldn't mind an explanation of asexuality from an actual asexual. thankyou

first of all, I am bisexual. I love men and I love women. I find that in many religions, homosexuality is forbidden. In Christianity, the bible specifically says that homosexuality is wrong. In islam, homosexuality is taboo. And mainly I find that people do not tend to accept people of different sexual orientation.

I do know that the younger generation is much more open to different sexual preferances than before. Even so, their parents and grandparents are just as prejudiced.

I just want to understand the thought behind the hate crimes and discrimination against homo/bisexuals in our society. It's not like we chose to be gay. It's not like we enjoy the negative attention we get.

What do you think about the role of homosexuals in society today?
