When I was 19yo, we saw a couple of mormon fellows making the rounds. My gf suggested we get ready to answer the door naked as though they interrupted us having sex. I can’t remember what happened, so that probably means they didn’t knock on our door. My memory is also shit due to years of drugs and alcohol plus ADHD. It would have been funny, though.
Religious knockers get an automatic, “Get fucked,” from me today. The fucking arrogance of coming to my home to tell me that I’m wrong and you’re right is baffling.
Had a group of Christians approach me while i was looking at nail polish in an Ulta. Even after i said no thank you as politely as an angel they still insisted on letting me now their imaginary friend loved me. If anyone in the lgbt+ community acted like that in public Christians would call it grooming.
Hell, can you imagine if Muslims did that?
Good morning Sir! Do you have a few minutes to talk about show tunes and skin care?
knock knock knock
Hello, have you heard about our lord and savious Luigi Magione?
americans are obsessed with the image of “… being shoved down thoat”
The saddest part of all of it is that it affected transphobia a lot, since trans women were painted as gay men tricking straight men in order to convert them to homosexuality. Bigots just realized they can divide the conquer the queer community once enough of the gays started to forget some of the details of the past.
Sidebar, I had a friend who specifically went after straight guys, double points if they had a girlfriend or wife. Strange fetish and a little unethical but to each their own. But to the point, he didn’t go door to door knocking. Club to club maybe.
I’ve been on the other end of that, and the gay guys accept a “no” thrice as fast as the Jehovahs do.
Very true.
Pro tip: tell Jehovah’s Witness that you used to be a Witness, but you quit. They will 180 super fast as those who quit are ostracized for life
Oh no they do not lmao. Y’know how women always complain about men not taking no for an answer? You think that’s only “the straights?” There’s for sure pushy gay men that will bother you all night (or for 3mo if you’re 12 and he’s 16). Pushy women exist too, one literally told me “no you don’t understand, this is going to happen” and like, could I have physically stopped her? Yes, but you try explaining a physical altercation with your roommates girlfriend to the police and see how that goes, eh? Easier to let her have her way with me I guess. Men at least you can fight if they do touch you.
Now, pushy gays are less common than JW and Mormon door knockers combined of course, so the religious are more frequent, but the biggest reason IME that gays may persist where the religious fear to tread is when the religious come to my door I can either politely give them SubGenius pamphlets and that freaks 'em out but good, or I can be an absolute dickhead and say edgy shit like Hail Satan, or otherwise mock their religion like “Joseph Smith is a liar yadda yadda,” BUT for the gays you can only be polite when declining, if you’re a dick about it you get called homophobic by people who didn’t hear the other 7 times tonight that Mike has tried to peer pressure my dick into his mouth.
Maybe the temptation they feel is the gays knocking from inside and that’s why they’re mad
Atheism isn’t a personality type. You don’t need to brag about it.
people brag about personslity types??
They probably mean in the media portraying lgbt relationships. A lot of right wingers think it’s too much. Imagine saying that to on-screen interracial relationships…
Nonsense. The real over-representation in media is step-siblings and step-parents, in the last 10 years that’s all you ever see.
Has a gay person ever knocked on your door to convert you?
No, but I imagine it would make a whole lot of Republican secret wishes come true.
I never had a Cristian knock on my door to convert me, just Mormons and JW
Both of those are christians
I know JWs dont claim to be…
I guess my ex JW friend is wrong or some shit 😂
That is just a Hebrew word for God. People who practice Judaism would also worship Jehovah without claiming to be Christians.
It’s gotten mainstream and therefore its cringe. Nobody likes HR trainings and iniciatives.
Your HR says stuff about religion? I just did this year’s mandatory training and there was no mention. (I work in tech which is basically a cult already)
I’m a straight cis het dude. I have never felt oppressed by gay homies. Like how hard is it just not give a fuck?
how hard is it just not give a fuck?
See, that’s why it’s so hard for homophobes to be around gay people. They want to give a fuck, but they can’t handle their own social stigma so they want it outlawed to remove the temptation.
Real.
Like how hard is it just not give a fuck?
OMG you said how hard you are why do you want to fuck me you fag!?
I’m confused and horny. Only if you’re down though. Consent is King.
I’m also horny and confused and my DMs are consensually open
Respectfully watches
😉
😬 Confusion and consent are a tricky combination
Jasmine was an awakening for me.
Same. And Jessica Rabbit. I wasn’t sure what was happening in my trousers but I knew I could ask my mum.
When the Mormons knock on my door I just ask them to sweep my driveway
