Can we please get a show without gays
Interacting With a Gay-Identified Friend
The simple answer is that you relate to a gay-identified individual as you would relate to anybody else. Every person is a human being and deserves to be treated as such, regardless of his or her lifestyle or belief system. Every person you meet is your neighbor, and Jesus commands you to adore your neighbor as yourself.
But you already knew this. What you want to understand now is how to talk with the person in question as the relationship progresses and differences of opinion on topics such as sexuality and sexual morality turn into an issue. It’s at this point that his or her identification as Christian or non-Christian becomes critical. Your conversations with this friend or family member will look very different depending on whether you do or act not claim the identical faith and whether you each view the Bible as authoritative.
Let’s begin with the non-believer. Since you and this person are coming together from very different backgrounds and worldviews, you’ll need to create a conscious effort to set your philosophical, theological, and moral assumptions aside at the beginning. Believe in terms of something bigger than mer
Video Game Players Avoid Same-sex attracted Characters
I like video games because they give me choices that I don’t have in real experience. When I want to feel like a princess, I choose Peach in Mario Kart. If I want to fight fancy Bruce Lee, I can choose Marshall Law in Tekken.
When picking out which character to play in a game, players factor in an avatar’s strengths and weaknesses, and even their appearance. But players also make their choices based on attributes that aren’t apparent during gameplay and have no alter on the game, such as a character’s sexuality. And my research has found that other players in turn might handle those characters differently within the game. This is important for the gaming industry. Some companies actively support social movements through publicity and marketing campaigns and product labeling. However, backlash could deter these companies from supporting marginalized groups and discourage homosexual players from participating.
How perform players factor in these kind of character traits, and what are the implications for online harassment and discrimination? The first-person shooter game Overwatch, which is widely popular and has generated more

2003 Jul 25-2James Corden proves why linear actors should think twice before playing gayWhenever the debate over whether unbent actors should be allowed to play gay characters has reared its leader (and with time, that’s gone from every year to every week), I’ve found myself largely indifferent. As a gay viewer, I crave authenticity within queer stories, preferring them to be at least co-written by queer creators and am forever wanting the spectrum of joint experiences to be more diverse and, crucially, more specific, but when it comes to those inhabiting queer characters, I’m less fussed. I’ve never believed that sexuality should restrict role choice, acting is acting and all that, and history has shown that this more fluid mode of thinking and casting has paid off time and time again. With more rigidity, we’d never have seen Tom Cullen fall deep in lust and then love in Andrew Haigh’s intimate passion Weekend or Trevante Rhodes’ heart-swelling last act interplay with Andre Holland in Barry Jenkins’ Oscar-winner Moonlight or, more recently, Noémie Merlant’s intense chemistry with queer co-star Adèle Haenel in Portrait of a Lady on Fire. On the flipside, if we’re to be strict with thi
When you become a parent, you understand to expect the unexpected. But for many Christian parents, nothing can get ready them to listen that their beloved child is male lover. This is the child you contain cradled, spoon fed mashed bananas, and dreamed a pretty future for. How could this be? What will the church say? What will your friends say? What does the future hold? You can’t even get your top around this. If you are a Christian parent, family member or friend to whom your loved one has arrive out as lgbtq+ or lesbian, then this is for you. I invite you to sit down, relax, maybe earn a cup of tea, and soak in what I’m about to explain you. My wish is to instruction you as we walk for a bit through this maze of confusion, to help you find your way to wholeness. In many Christian circles, this is not good news, and you may initiate to spiral into reflection and self-searching. We’ll get to that. But at the bottom of it all, this is not about you. Most parents’ first mistake is to mak |
