    Private schools are just that: privately funded. I used to attend a private “Christian school” and they were very open about what they would / wouldn’t be teaching there.

    Taking money from public funds and use it to encourage religious teaching is wrong. Especially when their morals include “x people are less than/must submit to y people” and “people who do [fill in the blank] are sinning against God and their actions are unambiguously wrong”.

    It’s a slippery slope, especially because my family went down a path of “physical and mental illness is a result of your sins and spiritual shortcomings.” I personally know of at least 3 pastors (whose church I used to attend) who have a child who eventually committed suicide. They do not see a connection.

    It’s evil.











  • Yes. And it sucked. And it still sucks.

    Within the last few year, I’ve finally realized I’ve been asexual my whole life. I’ve had sex before, but I struggled to care about it or enjoy it. It was always inconvenient, messy, went on too long, etc. I had enjoyed spending time with my partners, but I hated sex, and that’s been a huge part of all my relationships.

    And, yes, I’ve had “good sex” before. Just like someone who hates pie can have the best pie ever, it’s still pie!

    I’ve sworn off relationships until I can figure it out, but god knows that every romantic relationship will require sex to let my partner know that I care about them and their needs. I’m sick of compromising. Why the fuck should I need to compromise on something that I don’t want or like? Plus, because I’m not into it, I’m sure my partner would want someone who puts in enthusiastic effort to the endeavor.

    Don’t tell me that I’ll find someone. It’s not comforting, and I’m still grappling with the reality of it. I’d like a partner, but it’s just not feasible for someone like me.

    I’m still mad that I’m like this.
