Cis gender was made up by trans to normalize their sexual identity. I am heterosexual... their is no other term to describe me. I am a man. I have a penis that is biological, not ideological.
The logic is not wrong. The NATURAL laws of gravity don't apply to most birds. I think that's what his response is: the natural laws that apply to us regarding sexual behavior is different from animal. Animals practice incest and rape by nature. It's not the standard for Man.
@@aloekio yeah thanks for the feedback. I’ll be keeping the title exactly as it is. Also, wouldn’t that be “misleading” since this is a painting of a Cher drag queen?
@@PaulRichmondStudio you’re focused on the wrong thing bro 🤣 a guy like u at ur old ass age should learn how to take criticism instead of being so passive aggressive.
@@PaulRichmondStudio Because why would people call you a groomer then? If you talk to kids about some weird stuff like edp/drake and most minecraft RU-vidrs did people will call you a groomer, if you don't then it's weird for other people to call you that and very messed up for them to do that
@@JamalLington I would never talk to a child about anything inappropriate. People call me “groomer” because I am gay. It’s a common homophobic attack that people have been using since the 1970’s.
Thank you Paul! I’ve been galvanized by fear and loathing of wasting precious time with getting my art up on a website but your wonderful personality and genuine care for artists (and people in general) is so comforting that it makes one happy to get off his butt and get his or her work out there. Thank you for this video and all your videos and your courses too (one of which I’m working through now). You are a blessing to every creative person who dreams of making a life from their art. God bless you my friend.
Paul I watched your speech to the Monterey Pride people and it brought tears to my eyes mostly for the positive message you sent out to the world and to your own “community” but also because as a fellow artist I’ve looked at your work and am in awe of it. You are such a special person and your value extends to ALL men and women in all walks of life and regardless of who they love or what dreams they follow. Thank you for being the person YOU are and for the purpose you’ve found in life. The world is a better place because of men … and artists … like you. God bless.
Paul you should teach … man, your art is so incredible and it touches me especially because 99 percent of my stuff is portrait work and when I see the surreal style you apply to faces it just knocks me out. If you ever want to give lessons in how to unlock this style in hidebound artists who have been trying all types of paint and drawing media to diversify their work and find that something that is so elusive, please reach out to me. Thank you for your wonderful work Paul! Ps whose version of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” is that ?… fabulous
My God Paul that was one of the most deeply beautiful 3:10 films I’ve ever seen … the music touched my heart … the lyrics just pulled on the depths of my spirit and the art you created - something from almost nothing - pigments and brush across a two dimensional surface - screamed at me to look and feel art a different way - I’ve been a paint by numbers hack for 20 years - always drawing first then filling in the colors - but I’ve never had the courage or freedom of spirit to do truly alla prima work like you show here … but I hope to do so now. Thank you and bless you for the inspiration from your “pure imagination”.
@@LeonardKarpen thank you so much! I loved reading your comment. I wouldn’t call drawing first being a hack though - I do that sometimes too. But it is definitely freeing to cut loose and just see what happens sometimes!
I also love brush work !!! wonderful mural !!! Thx ++ !! 🤩 Just one technical question, Paul... once a mural is finished, and for a longer lifespan/protection, do you apply a matte anti-UV varnish ?...
Paul u j oh eep comparing yourself and life with mine. All I’ve ever said is people who aren’t happy with their lives can get help changing. Biggest change maybe therapy. I agree. To accept yourself love yourself. I’ve simply stated that some people through God can change things because they want to. It’s freedom of choice. So I saw this thread and I truthfully stated I changed. I won’t be commenting anymore. I love u. Wish u best life. Kenny.
@@freddysteady1547 I’m just genuinely curious why you felt same sex attraction was something you needed to deny yourself. Calling sex with men a compulsion and bringing up “diseases” are talking points of right wing Christian extremists, and it genuinely makes me sad to think that you were persuaded by them to believe there was something wrong about yourself that needed to be fixed when the problem is actually them.
Well I don’t want to have sex with men. Thats my decision. For me since you won’t stop. It’s not normal. So on ward I go over three years. I feel solid. Mentally. Physically. Spiritually. Im guessing you have same peace about yourself. Obviously we can’t understand each other. Which is normal. Fine. Ok. Good. Not sure what more you’d like.
I’ve never said I’m homosexual. I compulsively acted out with men. So that’s what I desired to be free from. I always felt empty afterwards. Caught diseases. It felt wrong for me. I don’t have that anymore. Free. As far as you go. I don’t know your life. Your mind. Your soul. I allow you to be you. So when I say you’re free it’s because I believe you really are. So when I saw. Pray away the gay I know it was a site mocking people who were trying to change something for THEM. Which doesn’t bother me that they are mocking. I originally posted because I am an example of a few that have changed. Only because we wanted to. I can’t speak for anyone else. I’m very content letting everyone be themselves.
I don’t know what “compulsively acting out with men” means. If you are attracted to men and wanted to/did have sex with them, then you are gay or bi. There is nothing wrong with that. Catching diseases is also a stigma that people like to spread about gay men, but STDs are just as prevalent in heterosexual relationships. It sounds to me like you have been heavily influenced by some extremely judgmental people, most likely from a religious group. Denying who you are in order to please others is the opposite of freedom. There is nothing compulsive, shameful, or wrong about being attracted to and sleeping with something of the same sex.
What is the difference between “compulsively acting out with men” and having sex with men besides the fact that one has a negative, judgmental tone and the other doesn’t? I’ve been sharing a bed with my husband for 18 years. Are we “compulsively acting out”?
I seeked out nothing. The algorithm flashed this sight in front of me. It applied to my experience. You’re not that important to me to challenge your lifestyle. You can’t allow people who want change to change. You mock them. Well I wish you a great life. I am free by prayer to live mine.
The algorithm wouldn’t have steered you my way if you weren’t looking for other gay content on here. What is it exactly about being gay that made you feel so ashamed and compelled to try and force yourself to “change”?
Well. I only know what I know. My sexual behavior was slavery. Yours is not. Fine. I’m no longer ashamed. I’m happy you’re not ashamed of your life. I embrace the man I am now. I know you embrace yourself. Beautiful. Freedom is beautiful.
If you were truly happy with this decision, you wouldn’t be seeking out gay people on RU-vid to comment on our videos about how you had to “overcome” our lifestyle. This is obviously something that is still on your mind, otherwise you wouldn’t be here on my page right now. Being gay is not a choice. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re bi, you’re bi. If you’re straight, you’re straight. We can’t change it - it’s an inherent part of our nature. We can deny it, but denial is not healthy or authentic. I’m sorry that you are so clearly still struggling with this, and I hope you choose to surround yourself with people who are more accepting and loving and allow you to be who you really are.
Well I don’t consider myself homo sexual. I behaved bi for decades. Been convicted by creator to stop. I have. 3 years. I feel correct. Free. Normal. That’s just me.
I woke up to your reply. I’m so grateful I’m free of that man on man sexual compulsion. It was such a slavery to me. I’m happy for you. Your case is different than mine.
@@freddysteady1547 Sexuality is not slavery. Yes, everyone is different, but nobody should be ashamed of who they are attracted to. Being gay is completely natural and there is nothing wrong with it. I hope you learn to embrace who you are.
