You kinda just assumed I'm not a minority, which I've noticed tends to be looked upon as homophobic.
I want to make it clear really quick that being a part of the community doesn't make you a 'minority'.
'Minority' has to do with race.
Okay, sorry, I didn't know. I'll remember that next time.
Why wouldn't it?
i thought a minority was someone who wasn’t white/cis/straight/male?
No. No no no. A minority is someone who's race isn't predominate in their country.
For example. I am considered a minority because I'm Cuban. I'm also a minority because I'm Costa Rican. These are not predominate races of the United States.
So a white person is a minority on the other side of the world.
understood, sorry.
No need to be sorry for ignorance if you try to learn.
That's ironic.
I'm just curious what would happen if you were to figure out that you liked women Ella. Would you hate yourself and try to 'pray the gay away'?
(I'm only using you an example because Dom knows 100% that he's straight.)
Well ya never know. All you know for sure is that I have a thing for girls. I could be bi.
But can you guess what I would do Eris, based off our previous conversations?
I've thought about that possibility multiple times, and I was going to give this long, dramatic speech about all the possible inner conflict or what decisions I'd make but if we're going to be realistic here, I'd probably just become a nun and move on with my life.
(I've always kinda wanted to become a nun so that wouldn't really be giving up on my dreams or changing much)

Pffft you would have told me by now.
Well ya never know. All you know for sure is that I have a thing for girls. I could be bi.
I mean, you'd said multiple times that you're '100% straight'

I honestly don't know….

but….nuns are women and are surrounded by women…..so how would that help if youre a lesbian?
Well on the one hand they must be celibate.
On the other I laughed at that.

I would isolate the feeling and make it disappear, as I have previously done.

Maybe I'm just repressed because of my strict religious beliefs.
It doesn't…it doesn't work like that.
At all. You think we haven't tried to do that? Those of us from super religious families that would shun us for being 'abominations'? I still haven't come out entirely to my own family because I'm afraid that they'd take my cousins/ nieces and nephews away from me. You can't just make something about yourself, your very heart, go away just by ignoring it. A gay man cannot be taught or forced to love a woman as he would a man and vise versa. It doesn't work like that.

priests should be celibate too, but we all know how that works out. T_T

Exactly.
