Gay Myths

I found two photos on Facebook that convey the myths surrounding gay people, I uploaded a YouTube video of me reading them out as I think it is important to stop the misunderstanding surrounding homosexuality.
The picture below shows the myths people believe about gay people that absolutely are NOT true.
We don't want to sleep with EVERY woman if we are a lesbian or EVERY man if we are a gay man, just like straight people don't want to sleep with EVERYONE of the opposite sex.
We can have children, not 'naturally', obviously, but with the help of science or adoption agencies.
We can have normal monogamous relationships and are not all promiscuous.
We don't hate the opposite sex, we don't all wear leather and feathers. We are not out to convert your children, as converting someone to being gay or straight is impossible, as sexuality is no choice. It's neither a phase nor a choice and we don't like kids, we aren't paedophiles, we are functioning members of society with loving healthy adult relationships.
We cannot be cured with any amount of praying etc, as it is not a sin to be gay.
We don't need to sleep with a member of the opposite sex or meet a lovely member of the opposite sex to turn straight as this is impossible. We don't flaunt our homosexuality nor do we cause AIDS. In many gay relationships there are two butch men or two girly women, THERE IS NO 'MALE' AND 'FEMALE'. We can still be religious.

  1. I often have people push these myths upon me. "Who's the man in your relationship? Someone has to be" "It's just a phase" "You must hate all men then" When will people learn?
