Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Does depression make you think you are gay?

Depression is mostly chemical in origin.

As evidence of this premise, consider that black adolescents have significantly lower rates of suicide and likely correspondingly lower rates of clinical depression. I believe this is true even in the lower economic strata.

Sorry for the lack of cites.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the performing arts especially dancing.

When I was a kid, dancing, i.e. tap dancing, ballet, etc. was considered for girls only. Any boys who wanted to do that was considered a sissy or gay. Real Dads wanted their sons to engage in the manly sport of violence, i.e. football, baseball, basket ball, hockey, boxing, etc.

Today, more and more boys are engaging in the performing dancing arts with support from both parents. One can dance and still be manly.

Many males do not seek violence for violence sake. Many males are quite comfortable with the gentle side of things and feminine company while still maintaining maleness.

Teen boys who feel threaten or a lack of love from fathers for perferring softer, gentler side of things may very well become depressed.

This is the gayest thread ever......

Seeing as how I'm now depressed, I'll need to go look at boobies and drink whiskey just to get things back on an even keel. (grin)

For the record, I'm not against same-sex relationships, as long as the chicks are hot.

I'm thinking that when folks first realize their gay is what leads them to taking/needing anti-depressants. Got to know the road ahead is going to be bumpy. I've known many people who took meds and I never heard of that side effect before. I believe people are born that way.

Seriously, I think you are right. I know a few gay people, and most of them have been on antidepressants at one time or another.

I think being gay would cause depression.

And cannabilism!

Must have be a woman that came between them....<yuck>

He said the two men had known each other for some years.

Mr Oldfield was openly gay and worked selling advertising space for a homosexual lifestyle magazine.

He was described as ' flirtatious, promiscuous, naturally outgoing and bubbly'.

Morley was 'less sure about his sexuality' and had had relationships with both men and women.

He had won the first Mr Gay UK contest in 1993.

A homosexual SHOULD be depressed:

1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

However, the Bible goes on to say that while homosexuality is a sin that leads to death, IT'S ALSO A FORGIVABLE SIN. The homosexual must acknowledge his sin, though, sincerely ask the Lord for forgiveness, and make a sincere effort to avoid further sin.
