It's just a concept

When some movie, TV show or a book is telling the story of a gay man, it makes you think that accepting your sexuality and coming out is the biggest trouble then the sexy dude gets his lover on a white horse and together they live happily ever after. well movies aren't always true, in fact the reverse is more likely ( Read more... )

gay egypt, my life, gay, gay rights

Since you mention the altar, I can't help asking - what is in the word "marriage" for you? Commitment? Recognition by the state? Recognition by the Church of whatever religion you follow (if any)? Anything else? I am not attacking, just really curious.

thanks for not saying the true description directly {{ that I am an arrogant being LOL))
The idea of wanting this recognition doesn't come from the way I feel about myself at all.. I think this is what I call, "Immature stubborn impulse" it is like a challenge. I am not even sure it is about making Egypt better as much as making it a better place for me! that's me being honest.
Maybe I am in an extended stubborn period where my warrior is taking the control... I am not sure if that will go on for ever. but I have been like so for a long time. It isn't even the idea here in Egyptian gay people, god no, I am like the extremely odd thing here.

Also, I thought I'd share several links to discussions of the matter on my blog - several times I managed to maintain an interesting discussion of what marriages/unions might mean to us, maybe you'll find them interesting!
