I promise you I’m not brainwashed. I’ve never gone to conversion therapy either.
I literally do not feel same sex attraction anymore, not the feeling of wanting to be with the same sex.
You should read my story 🙂 it’s in my description
ive read it, u were either never gay or ur lying to urself
I was definitely stupidly in love with a woman. Three in fact.
The thing is I realized it was sinful, it was going against God and I weighed out who was more important. God or some woman.
An eternity in hell or an eternity in heaven.
I didn’t think I’d be happy if I couldn’t date women, didn’t think I’d be happy without a lot of sins I’ve sacrificed but God makes a way for us to remain happy.
I can say without a doubt I’m happy I’ve repented and recognized the weight of sins and apologized. I’m happy I’ve sacrificed so many sins for God, and I’m happy I get to experience his love for us.
Aren’t these people supposed to be tolerant and accepting?
“these people” stfu ur god is fake and stupid
How about you put a proper argument forward and represent yourself as the adult you’re supposed to be? Otherwise, you’re just a joke.
okay then, my proper argument is; you cant justify the things u say and do w the bible bc not only is there absolutely no proof of god, the bible is so outdated. also if you’re gonna use the bible to justify saying gay people are “”“"sinful”“”“ then dont wear jeans w a cotton t shirt, and kill ur wife if shes not a virgin. dont cherry-pick which parts youre gonna follow. if you hate gay people just say your a homophobe bc the bible says absolutely nothing about gay people, the line thar supposedly is about gay people was about pedophilia and wrongly translated so i mean…learn what your talking about if youre gonna spout shit about god and being a christian 🙂
That stuff about the cotton mixing was just ceremonial laws for Israel that are not for today. The bottom line is LITERALLY EVERYBODY IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD, GAY OR NOT, is full of sin and cannot save themselves. All sin must be punished. I have other sins I struggle with, and it does not mean that I’m not a christian.
What makes me Christian is the fact I believe God sent his son Jesus to die for my sins. This amazing love truly changes people. God loves me and it cannot be changed. How can I not want to live my life for him
ok so being gay isnt a sin? make up ur fuckin minds
No one said it’s not a sin. What she said was “everyone in the world is full of sin”
@oof-lots-of-trauma my clothes are 100% cotton and I’ve never eaten pork. What’s your excuse?
my excuse is im not a fucking christian lmao
Since you resort to personal attacks, I can only conclude that your argument is very poor. I had planned so much facts to give in a rational debate, but seeing as how you are being irrational and using ad hominem attacks, lies, and propaganda, I don’t know if I should respond in a civilized manner

To keep Tumblr the constructive, empowering place it should be
It was a little more than 10 years ago that we introduced the humble reblog, not knowing how much it would change the growing Tumblr community. The ability to take one person’s idea, build on it, and share it as something new transformed Tumblr from a simple blogging site into a social network where people were talking, exploring, learning, and growing through reblog chains.
We’ve been thinking about that a lot recently—the kind of place we want Tumblr to be, and our responsibility to you here and out in the world.
At its core, Tumblr is a place to express yourself and connect with others who share your interests. Over time a knot of diverse, kinetic, passionate communities sprang up. You can jump from things you love into things you didn’t even know existed. And it’s on all of us to create a safe, constructive, and empowering environment where you can continue to do that.
Our Community Guidelines need to reflect the reality of the internet and social media today and acknowledge that the things people post and share online influence the way others think and behave.
The following updates will go into effect on September 10, 2018 and can reviewed here.
We won’t tolerate hate speech
We believe in a free and open internet but we can’t ignore that the internet is being exploited by hate groups to organize, recruit, and radicalize with horrifying efficiency. Updating our Community Guidelines and internal procedures is necessary to address a very real threat to members of the Tumblr community.
When it comes to hate speech, we’re redrawing the line between what’s uncomfortable and what’s unacceptable, and have struck 41 words of gray area from this section in the Community Guidelines. It now reads:
Hate Speech: Don’t encourage violence or hatred. Don’t post content for the purpose of promoting or inciting the hatred of, or dehumanizing, individuals or groups based on race, ethnic or national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, disability or disease. If you encounter content that violates our hate speech policies, please report it.
[DELETED: If you encounter negative speech that doesn’t rise to the level of violence or threats of violence, we encourage you to dismantle negative speech through argument rather than censorship. That said, if you encounter anything especially heinous, tell us about it.]
Keep in mind that a post might be mean, tasteless, or offensive without necessarily encouraging violence or hatred. In cases like that, you can always block the person who made the post—or, if you’re up for it, you can express your concerns to them directly, or use Tumblr to speak up, challenge ideas, raise awareness or generate discussion and debate.
While the deleted language was well-intentioned (and we still need your help reporting hate speech) a post shouldn’t have to be “especially heinous” to merit reporting.
We’re also banning the glorification of violence and its perpetrators
Not all violence is motivated by racial or ethnic hatred, but the glorification of mass murders like Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Parkland could inspire copycat violence. With that in mind, we’re revising the Community Guidelines on violent content by adding new language to specifically ban the glorification of violent acts or the perpetrators of those acts:
Violent Content and Threats, Gore, Mutilation: Don’t post content that includes violent threats toward individuals or groups—this includes threats of theft, property damage, or financial harm. Don’t post violent content or gore just to be shocking. Don’t showcase the mutilation or torture of human beings, animals (including bestiality), or their remains. Don’t post content that encourages or incites violence, or glorifies acts of violence or the perpetrators.
Lastly, we’re eliminating any ambiguity in our zero-tolerance policy on non-consensual sexual images
We’re adding a very simple statement (in bold below) to our existing policy on harassment to remove any uncertainty:
Harassment. Don’t engage in targeted abuse or harassment. Don’t engage in the unwanted sexualization or sexual harassment of others.
Posting sexually explicit photos of people without their consent was never allowed on Tumblr, but with the invention of deepfakes and the proliferation of non-consensual creepshots, we are updating our Community Guidelines to more clearly address new technologies that can be used to humiliate and threaten other people.
So what can you expect going forward?
The new Community Guidelines will go into effect on September 10, 2018. After that, if we determine a post or blog is promoting hatred, glorifying violence, or is engaging in the unwanted sexualization of another person, it will be taken down. This includes (for example) posting Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, or anti-LGBTQ+ content to promote or incite violence or hatred; using symbols of hate movements to intimidate or harass others; and the glorification of mass murderers.
Of course, context is everything. Posts and blogs that generate open, constructive debate are always welcome here. A heated conversation about race or gender identity in media is not hate speech, nor is a factual, educational history of Jim Crow.
An overwhelming amount of care and nuance is needed to evaluate reports fairly and accurately, so we’ve increased the size of our team to review the reports we receive.
What should you do if you see content that violates the CGs?
Report it. We’ve added hate speech reporting to the mobile apps. Just tap the airplane icon on any post to open this menu 👇 — then tap Report (flag button) > Something else > Hate speech.
One last note
We are fierce defenders of free expression. We want Tumblr to be a place where people come to be themselves and engage diverse points of view through constructive dialogue. The lines we’re drawing today around hate speech, violence, and non-consensual sexual content are designed to protect that vision.
We’ll continue to review and revise our Community Guidelines to make sure they remain an accurate reflection of our community and its values. And as part of our commitment to transparency, we’ll always make sure previous versions are available on our public GitHub repo.
You’re going to have opinions on these changes and what more we can do. We encourage you to share your thoughts (especially constructive feedback) in the notes. And if you feel that Tumblr is no longer for you, there’s a whole world of internet out there.
❤️ Be kind to each other, Tumblr.
Yeah, can’t possibly see this going wrong at all. Staff, what about the religious folk who calmly, respectively, and peacefully spread our religion? There’s a lot of people on here who will report us in an instance just for saying that the Bible states homosexuality as a sin.
Hate speach may be hurtful sometimes, but who determines what is hate speach? Threats of violence is one thing, that’s against the law. We have a right to say what we want to, even if the random anon who wishes I would waste away in a pot of boiling acid. They’re a jerk for saying it, but they still are allowed to say it.
All I want is for people who do nothing wrong to not get punished for a belief. So if you really want to enact this new thing, a lot of accounts vehemently hate Christianity, so I expect you be fair in this ridiculous decision.
“Who determines what is hate speech”
may i direct you to this line here:
if we determine a post or blog is promoting hatred, glorifying violence,
or is engaging in the unwanted sexualization of another person, it will
be taken down. This includes (for example) posting Islamophobic,
anti-Semitic, or anti-LGBTQ+ content to promote or incite violence or
hatred
based on all the rainbow warriors of the LGBTQAP+ mob who are in the notes of this post praising that this is the day “them damn christians” and “them damn drumpf supporters” will finally get what we deserve, you can be 100% certain that these guidelines are aimed at specific people.
and before someone jumps in to say “oh but we never explicitly mentioned conservatives or christians as our targets”, no but you spelled it out clearer than God did when He wrote Babylon’s doom on the wall of Belshazzar’s palace.
being that “islamophobia” is such a broad, blanket term used to describe even legitimate criticism of islam, i see Christian blogs who view Christianity as the truth being targeted. i see political blogs that lean anywhere that isn’t left being targeted for reporting on things like islamic indoctrination camps in the US, or the problem that immigration from islamic countries is causing in Europe (like the very real rape culture of Sweden).
as far as anti-semitism goes, i know that this will be abused flagrantly. stating that socialist jews who immigrated to America between the late 1800s through the 1930s, and became leading and influential figures in entertainment and literature, later rewrote the history of the national SOCIALIST german workers party from a socialist revolution that targeted Jews to “the evil christian conservative bogeyman” will no doubt be considered “anti-semitic”, while the philistines calling for the murder of Jews living in their own God-given land will be permitted.
and yes, rainbow warriors, i know exactly what you mean by “anti-LGBTQ+ content to promote or incite violence or hatred”. i’ve seen what you all think on this hell-site for many long years: you believe that a Christian who holds to the Bible and what it says is a “hateful bigot”. you believe that a Christian who believes the Bible is the Word of God and lives their life by it “incites violence and/or hatred of LGBTQA+ people”.
say it loud, people, because God knows no one else is going to say it: these rules are meant to silence the straight white conservative/libertarian christian and/or zionist crowd!
