How could you believe that homosexuality is "rarely" justified? Being gay is a sin but it's ok if he's like SUPER hot

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

It's the "hot lesbians in my area" exception.

Yea I thought that was funny.

In reality, I guess it's some bigoted view on homosexuality. Like "it can be OK if they are monogamous, secretive, don't flount it, respect gender norms, stay far from children, and tried to not be gay for long time before giving in". Probably.

As a gay I totally feel this is a valid thing. I'll translate to 2025 speak:

  • Never justified - have a single gay thought and go to hell
  • Rarely justified - you can be gay but look straight and never hold hands.
  • Sometimes justified - i don't mind people being gay as long as they don't touch me
  • Mostly justified - people should be themselves, but don't be weird, don't wear all-leather in public
  • Always justified- you be you gurl

I guess we'll never know, since those numbers were combined for the answer ("never or rarely") or the person writing this article combined the results of those two answers, idk, didn't read the whole thing
