I didn’t know anything about Amish people, but now I think that they are nice, even though they suffer a lot because of the institutionalized homophobia of their cult(I am talking about the gay boys). I live close to Cleveland, in Painesville. Is it any Amish gay place (gay bar or something) where I can meet Amish boys?

Erm… Don’t think there’s much I can do to help there.

Jake,
Do you think it would be possible to create a secret code for gay Amish persons to use to communicate and to find help. Maybe something as wearing the hat tilted a certain way or the women could wear the ties on the bonnet longer on one side..ie…
I think that if there was an underground railroad of sorts it would be great to help those that can not be free of the persicution. If you knew me, you would understand my caring for all persons, but find those that are pushed away the most needey. Suicide is the highest amungst gay teens and the barn hanging thin shows it in the Amish community. and your comment about being involved, well it could be seen in many ways…I know that your culture has been around for many a generation. as I am Dutch and French as well as Native American, I have background in many cultures and friends from all cultures. I am eclectic and have learned to understand all persons as a whole, but still long for all to be understood by the majority. This meaning that all people can be whom ever they are. Don’t forget that 10% of the population is intersexual w/ both sexes, or that we are all female the first 7 weeks of pregnancy, or that thousands of dna studies have proved we all derrived from Africa…. Yes thousands on the midochondrail dna of the mothers of all races have shown we came from 2 tribes in eastren Africa… Or that they found Neanderthal genes in humans and that there are thousands of skelletal remains of primative humans… Or the fact that we have bothe male and female hormones in men, but women only female…Funny if you think about things deeper than your day to day or in the terms of thousands or even hundreds of years…. right….Man shall not lay w/ Man meant 2 humans were not to procreate educated children???
well challange your mind and find the truth somewhere out or in there…

Hello again. just wanted to check out the number of people on here that know more than the rest. I wish that I had offered to help the one guy that I met in Ohio. He was beaten up just before I wnet to Mt. Hope a few years ago. He held the door for another guy and myself and stared at us the whole time we were there. I hope he is alright and found a way to be ok. Being from Central New York you can be about anybody you want. Still country but near the city. I have thought of opening my home to someone in need of a place to rest and find themselves. I understand the culture but not that in the menonite community they allow gay people to be part of the church. I guess it is hard for most people kept in small societies and never educated on biology or world history to live in the absense of these things. Just like America was founded on seperation of church and state, but has many religious zellous people running things… funny…

Nope. It’s just my site. If you read the original post, it’s pretty obvious that this thread has really taken a turn.
