Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hello and goodbye everyone: You know, I've debated long and hard whether to be who I am in this support group, and I risked a lot revealing that I'm gay. I got a private email today telling me that my dating experience is not appropriate for this forum. I disagree, but I don't want to offend anyone. Well, it's time to move on then. It's been difficult to be a gay man trying to fit in a straight world. Up til now I didn't think that it was an issue on this board. I'm sure when the straight men and women talked about their relationship issues/difficulties, there was no problem. But I don't want to be part of a group where that kind of prejudice exists. There is just too much love and acceptance in other places. Good luck to you all. Francisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Well Francisco, I don't know who the HELL would write such a thing to you! You have revealed your soul to us, and I for one appreciate that, and what an emotional risk it has been for you personally. Yeah, I figured out that you were gay before you stated it. So what? If the message you received was from someone who was an authority in this group, I may have to leave too! I don't know any keyboard that doesn't have a delete key. If someone doesn't want to read about your love life, and the twists and turns your journey has taken since your surgery, they can delete any message from you. In fact, they can set up a filter to do that automatically. Look, we are NOT just about our digestive tracts. What I have found to be more of a challenge is the " Now what? " question. That is what you have shared with us. You are trying to figure that out, and it is extremely pertinent, because you are NOT the same person you were two years ago! I'm not just referring to the fact that you weigh less (although I STILL say you're a tasty morsel, more now than ever!). I'm referring to the emotional growth I have seen in you! I would be extremely saddened to lose contact with you. I love reading your travellogue about your journey through life! Don't let one person's personal biases deprive everyone else of your company!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I don't know who would do such a thing! You are such a valuable part of this group. What I say, is if they don't like what they read, simply hit the delete key or go onto the next message. I hope you will reconsider your goodbye. If " they " don't like what they read on this group, let them leave, NOT YOU! Please stay. I, for one, value all that you write here. You are an amazing person. Pleeeeaaaase stay!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Francisco, Hi....I have never talked to you directly, but I have so enjoyed everything that you have brought to this group. You have made me stop and really think about things in my life. You write exactly how you feel. You are such an open person.....it really saddens me that someone would be so discrimatory. Haven't we been discriminated against enough? I know that people look at me so differently because of my weight. Whoever condemned you for your personal choices in you life are no different than those people who make fun of us or look at us in disgust because of our weight. I am very happy for you that you have been able to move on with your life. You have had some major issues along the way and have been able to work them out. I am also a very open person when I feel comfortable....please don't change the way you are just because someone doesn't choose what you choose. Everybody is different, that is what makes the world go round. I feel that the person who didn't appreciate you should just not open your emails if they don't want to read them. You are a valuable person to this group..... Please stay and continue to be yourself.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I agree with you Barbara, this is terrible!!! NO ONE should judge another person for what they believe in, even if it has to do with sexual preference!!! Look at all of us! We all have one reason or another for becoming as big as we were, and we of all people should know what it is like to be judged and looked down upon. I do not write very much in this group, I need to, but that is another story. I am very saddened that someone would take it upon themselves to say something that hurtful to another human being! That someone needs to get off their high horse and take everyone for who they are. Whether you agree or not, this is a forum that people can speak their minds, and get input from others. Francisco, please do not leave. There are to many of us that can understand (even if its only a teeny bit) how hurtful this could be. We are ALL NOT like this person who wrote to you. Please do not go, we all need to be able to say what we need to say here in this forum, and we are not supposed to hurt one another. OK, I have said enough...... Thanks for listening everyone. a Haan I have no idea! This is terrible! I have enjoyed reading Francisco's posts so much. I can't imagine this place without him!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Dear Group: I appreciate all of your support. This person continues to email me, and it is unwelcomed. So this person's emails are now marked spam, and I don't even see them. I don't ever want to hear from this person again. I need to think long and hard about my participation here. I am so wounded by this, I cried all the way home in my car. But for now, I need to lick my wounds and go on. Life is hard enough without this kind of drama. I wish you all well.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Francisco, Please don´t leave. You have been such an important part of this group ever since you came to us. I can remember your first email still when you started with us and how you struggled with all of your issues. Unfortunately there are some people in this group that still don't get the gist of this group. We are here to support each other through the good and the bad. There are so many of us here that need to hear that we are not alone in our struggles with our relationships. Yes this is a groups of weight loss surgery but also with the surgery comes a whole new set of problems that new body that we are creating. Relationships with our spouses and partners are a big part and here we develop coping skills. I love reading your emails because I know how far you have traveled on this road because there are so many of us that have traveled that road with you. We have been there with you through you happiness and tears. Through your struggles and triumphs. With your during your heartaches and search for someone to love you for who you are. Many times people don't realize or they forget how a comment can hurt so much. I think that many times we say things and do thing with out realizing that there is a wonderful person that they can be hurting. I don't want you to leave I want to continue hearing and seeing all the wonderful accomplishments that you achieve. Please reconsider leaving Your friend always Ramona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 OMG! Francisco I'm so sorry to hear you say that this kind of prejudice exists in this group!! I am shocked! I mean come on folks, I have heard many a posts from women who have discussed their " straight " relationships! If " we " can discuss our " straight " relationships, then we sure should be able to discuss our " gay/lesbian/bi " relationships! Francisco, personally, I think that you should reconsider your parting from the group. Whomever wrote to you is perhaps " backwards " in their thinking.. or maybe even jealous because they want in a relationship what you have.. who knows why. But then again, who cares?!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 --Francisco: I realize that I am a little late in sending this, but I haven't logged on in a few days. The thing that is killing me about what is happening to you is that in the title of this group is the word SUPPORT. I thought that we were here to be sounding boards for EVERYONE, gay, straight, fat, thin, pre, post, white, black, polka dotted, etc. And the thing is that when I read about your dates and expereiences, I don't even think about the fact that you are gay, I think how wonderful that he has become the flame that draws the moths. The messages within your messages are being lost....yours are stories of triumph and perserverance, of happiness and hope. I can't tell you how happy I was to read about you and Don. I speak from personal experience that if you think you are falling in love, you are. My hubby and I have been together since our first date 11 years ago. I wish EVRYONE that kind of love and devotion. Please, for the sake of us here that value your freindship and insight, do not let this ignorant person prevail. I humbly ask you to reconsider withdrawing yourself from our lives. I leave you with that, my friend.
