There is a big double standard where heterosexual posts and queer posts depicting the same things get treated differently.

Same rules apply to heterosexual, I just happen to not comment on every single post.

It does sound like you have some things that you are hiding/supressing/masking yourself.

Aren't you tired of "playing a character" in your life? That is a very lonely way of living. I know because I did. Still do, but less so now.


If you are lonely that might be because you are not easygoing, or you criticize people too quickly(as you just did). If you were just unusual, as everyone else is, you would have friends and wouln't feel lonely

You can be surrounded with people and still feel lonely. People will be the friends with the image you project, not the real you.

>I think they wouldn't want to know if their parents are swingers...

I know. Doesn't bother me at all. Good for them, I'm glad they do something that makes 'em happy.


Great, and would you be comfortable knowing every single detail of what happens in their parties, or is there a limit?

Why should it bother me? Sex is universal, we all do it. It's certainly not information I desire to seek out, but I'm not sure why knowing what goes on would be so terrible.

How is this relevant to anything about this story?

Very subtle equivalence you're drawing between gay people and pedophiles.

The term classmate applies to people from kindergarten to doctoral candidates. You decided to interpret my point in the most sick way.

You are advocating for the closet

I see a difference between hiding your identity and not loudly shouting about it in public. Personally, I quite enjoy recreational drugs and my close friends know that but my coworkers don't and that's fine. Why is sex so much different? am I bad for being "closeted" about my drug use?

edit: don't mean to imply being queer and using drugs are the same or anything. Just an example of "thing you personally are okay with but the wider society might judge you for"
