Joseph, I wasn't offended and am glad you raised questions.
Thank you very much!
It's my understanding that Iceland has a very inclusive culture and, in reading a story in a gay magazine about travel there, the author told of asking where the gay bars were and getting a response of complete puzzlement, from gay people. Their response was: "Why would you want to just be with one sort of people?"
I hope that being in Europe you will soon have opportunities to travel and experience countries that are less conservative.

Oh? PHEW! That is what I meant
Exactly what I meant! I guess I just couldnt imagine America being that badly intolerant after all this time, it seemed to me things there were fairly okay, at least ok enough to make a lesser need for separation, but I guess I was wrong. But as some people noticed without me saying it so much: Im from Poland, a very conservative and religious country, so the USA may seem to be like a tolerant paradise to me
when compared to my shit hole ehhh I mean country.
So I guess yeah separation still exists, but once things finally get calm and homosexuality will become accepted (As in Iceland), I do think such objects and places will be less needed. And thanks, I do plan to leave Poland and see the rest of the world.
BTW I did already a few times write lyrics to songs and never would I use obvious suggestions in a love song that its guys, girls or guy and a girl. Quite frankly I already thought it was unnecessary before I even took sexuality as criteria, heh.
Joseph, don't feel guilty, remorseful, or even apprehensive about your post. The only way to learn is to ask questions. You live in a different area of the world and a different culture. Asking questions about what is going on is only natural. As a child, I remember seeing segments on the news about the Solidarity Movement in Poland. I have questions about that today. Would it offend you if I asked questions about that in a post?
Thank you very much. Wow, your familiar with Solidarity? Im impressed! I wouldnt mind answering them, I wouldnt find it offensive if you asked, but
in this topic I thought I made some people angry, as said Im shy and insecure, so I have an automatic reaction often that if someone disagrees with me on a topic, I usually think Im wrong
and if its a sensitive topic such as this, I always think Im wrong and a monster and regret saying anything. I still try to fight it and become more confident
I know this is out of the topic, but I thought Id say that even if you were offending Solidarity, I wouldnt mind. I dont really feel connected to my country, I feel like a sore thumb here and outsider, thus I shall leave.
In the quest for understanding, if you encounter someone who gets upset for you asking questions, move on. That person does not have the answers that will help you to where you want to go.
There are a lot of people in this group who are enlightened of all persuasions and beliefs. Keep the threads coming, you will learn a lot.
Thank you for encouraging me again. After I got sad due to this thread, I really felt like I shouldnt write threads for a looong time
and like I didnt deserve to enter gay bars if I ever wanted to. Thank you very much. I shall write a new thread soon enough perhaps, heh.
