MAJOR REVELATION!

Hey guys. This here is the LGBTQA+ Community (edited to actually be inclusive, as the GSA is very limiting). This thread is for the people who are homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, demisexual, heterosexual and/or any other sexual/romantic orientation you may be, as well as transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, and non-binary people. You can be anything to support this; it's called the LGBTQA+ Community, after all. Just be someone who believes it's unfair and not right to simply judge someone of what gender they're attracted to. There are quite a few kids about there who are figuring out their sexual/romantic orientation. It is very possible you are discovering who you are. But there are teenagers and adults alike who are bullied every day for who they are. Some eventually can't stand the pain anymore and commit suicide because they feel hated, unwanted and repulsive to others. These people need to know that there are people out there in the world who care, even if you don't know them personally. They care what happens, and they believe in equal rights for all. Don't be afraid to be who you are. Just because of who they like doesn't change anything. They're still human. Even if you find out your friend is homosexual, bisexual or anything else, you shouldn't freak out. They're still your friend. It doesn't automatically mean they like you and are trying to come on to you. There are males who are attracted to females. There are females who are attracted to males. There are males attracted to males, females attracted to females and some who are attracted to both males and females. There are other people who are genderfluid, genderqueer or nonbinary. A quote from Cassandra Clare: Did you know? Interracial marriage wasn't allowed until after 1967. How would you feel if someone told you that you couldn't marry your love just because they weren't the same skin color as you? The same race? Same-sex marriage is legal in ten countries (as of 2012): Argentina Belgium Canada Iceland Netherlands Norway Portugal South Africa Spain Sweden The issue has been debated in several more, and some are still working things out. It is, however, in some countries, illegal to be homosexual and you will be put in jail or even killed for it. Homosexuality used to be considered a mental illness. And get this - It's legal for marriage equality in six states of the U.S. (Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa) while it's legal to have sex with a horse in 23. Nice going, America. According to Aeyra: I do realize there are people out there who are religious and even pious, and this goes against your beliefs. Or there may be other homophobic people who are merely disgusted with the idea who homosexuals. I understand that. However, if you are one of these people, I ask that you don't flame or hate on this thread. Don't even bother with this if it's not in your beliefs. We want to help people; not start a fight or an argument with anyone. If you do, however, have a serious issue with this, please PM me. People should be able to love whoever they want. To be truthful... I'm currently trying to figure out what my sexuality orientation is, and I believe myself to be bisexual. But to all my friends I've made here on Detective Conan World who are homophobic, I'm still me. Nothing's changed. Homosexuality is still considered a new idea. Many people are afraid of new things and straying from the normal path. It will take a while for people to adjust to the idea of two males or two females loving each other, but I hope they will learn to accept it soon. Take a look at how America felt about interracial marriage. They didn't react very well. Look at it now. If you're homosexual, bisexual, transgender, pansexual or asexual and you haven't "come out" about it, just know that there are people who care. Don't think about self-abuse or suicide. Know that someone cares, and we're here for you. If you need to talk about anything, I know Aeyra, I and many other DCW members will be happy to listen and try to help the best we can. I just want (and I know many others do as well) to be able to walk down the street openly, holding the hand of whoever I love freely and unafraid of what anyone will say or do, regardless of their orientation and/or gender.

ah.le.le. After a few months of doing nothing, I decided to draw again and this is my very first Detective Conan drawing..

Hmm well first, let's respond to Akakata: She got expelled because... she was harming herself along with her 'friend' who convinced her to do it in the girls' bathroom. Second: It is in the Bible that it is an abomination unto God for homosexual-type relations to occur in an explicit manner if you catch my drift. It doesn't say "Go beat these people" at least, not in the New Testament where it is found. Third: Our country was founded by Christians in order to worship God. In fact, it was said that the US Government would be "wholly inadequate" for people who did not follow God. The original intent of "freedom of religion" was during the time where "religion" referred only to Christianity. Of course, our laws and beginning has been re-interpreted to fit anyone and everyone's agendas - so of course this was warped. Also, separation of church and state isn't in the law and doesn't even appear in the Constitution. I understand that I'm probably the only one here who is kind of on the "opposing" and "stubborn" side of this. However, I believe that if others are allowed to rant on their dislike of God and of people who many times unfortunately represent Christianity - which I follow - I should also be allowed some input. The thing is... a true follower of God is forgiving and full of love. This doesn't mean to agree with and support sin - but it does mean to not treat people that you think are "not up to your standards" like crap. People with nasty pride like that dig themselves a hole. I love my God and will follow what He says - He will never be irrelevant. People choose to do wrong, people go along with the flow, and are easily persuaded. There is both good and evil in the world - I don't think it's very responsible for a human who is fully capable of making their own choices to blame their choices on God, but never give God the glory when things turn out well. All in all, I'm not hating or anything like that, and I hope you didn't get that impression at all.

That's the part of the Bible I don't understand. If God created people, and all the types of love, than it obviously means he meant them to be there. Also, I believe the Bible tells you many other... things that are now untrue in ourcilture today (such as the inferiority of women and the right to beat your slave and etc.) Unless the devil supposedly put the sin there (I think Lucifer's actually kind of cool... *slaps self* This is what you get for reading MI 24/7! You start supporting the evil side.), I don't see why God has a problem with it. And isn't the quote 'Hate the sin, not the sinner?' Also, I find it kind of sad that people try so hard to uphold their values onto others. Even if it is against the laws of your religion, they're the ones who eventually get "punished"- and somehow, I don't feel like all of the hatred stems from wanting to keep people out of purgatory. I don't know where it comes from. It's just... there. No offense to any religion, but the fact that we cleave to Christianity as a country in the US downright upsets me. One of the essential parts of America is freedom of religion, and that means not everyone is a Christian. Heck, I'm even atheist! (so I feel funny just saying the pledge of allegiance...) Another essential part is SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. This is why I don't know why we as a country, as a whole, are letting religion cloud out our sense of righteousness as people. If politician's would look aside for just a moment and read that line- where lies the basis for any argument then other than "It's gross" and "People don't like it." I was amazed when Obama gave his support- it was a brave move that I hope will eventually become common among all politicians. What's good about these politicians though is that they'll do anything or say anything as long as enough people tell them to. Let our voices be heard! Let our support ring through the country, through the world! The only way to get people to listen is to speak loud enough. Change comes slow, but it comes nonetheless, so I know that eventually this mission will come to fruit. It's just a matter of how quickly we can there.

Oh, I didn't notice that it's an optical illusion. Sorry for that, you were right.

wrong position. again. again.

wrong position, again

well, for basics... Consonants: ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㄹ,ㅁ,ㅂ,ㅅ,ㅇ,ㅈ,ㅊ,ㅋ,ㅌ,ㅍ,ㅎ Vowels: ㅏ,ㅑ,ㅓ,ㅕ,ㅗ,ㅛ,ㅜ,ㅠ,ㅡ,ㅣ (There are more, but that is on the Combination Categry.) of course, like Japanese, a,e,i,o,u are all short vowels when romanized. I put it so that it is easier to see which letter makes which sound. (Caps) The ones in the Parenthesis are alternative pronounciation. ㄱ: Gi-uk (Ki-uk): G sound; sometimes K ㄴ: Ni-eun : N sound ㄷ: Di-geut : D Sound ㄹ: Ri-eul (Li-eul) : R or L sound ㅁ: Mi-eum : M Sound ㅂ: Bi-eup : B sound ㅅ: Si-ot (SHi-ot) : S sound; sometimes SH ㅇ: I-eung (EE-eung) : No sound, But there are rules for this consonant. ㅈ: Zi-eut (Ji-eut) : Z and J sound ㅊ: CHi-eut : CH sound ㅋ: Ki-euk : K sound as well as strong C. Sometimes Q. ㅌ: Ti-geut : T sound ㅍ: Pi-eup : P sound; sometimes Ph and F (But Korean does not have F or PH sound so we make P sound instead) ㅎ: Hi-eung : H sound ㅏ: A ㅑ: YA ㅓ: U ㅕ: YU ㅗ: O ㅛ: YO ㅜ: OO ㅠ: YOO ㅡ: EU ㅣ: I (EE) and the chart.... (oh my god this is going to kill me) 가 갸 거 겨 고 교 구 규 그 기 (Ga Gya Guh Gyuh Go Gyo Goo Gyoo Geu Gi) 나 냐 너 녀 노 뇨 누 뉴 느 니 (Na Nya Nuh Nyuh No Nyo Noo Nyoo Neu Ni) 다 댜 더 뎌 도 됴 두 듀 드 디 (Da Dya Duh Dyuh Do Dyo Doo Dyoo Deu Di) 라 랴 러 려 로 료 루 류 르 리 (Ra Rya Ruh Ryuh Ro Ryo Roo Ryoo Reu Ri) 마 먀 머 며 모 묘 무 뮤 므 미 (Ma Mya Muh Myuh Mo Myo Moo Myoo Meu Mi) 바 뱌 버 벼 보 뵤 부 뷰 브 비 (Ba Bya Buh Byuh Bo Byo Boo Byoo Beu Bi) 사 샤 서 셔 소 쇼 수 슈 스 시 (Sa Sya Suh Syuh So Syo Soo Syoo Seu Si) 아 야 어 여 오 요 우 유 으 이 (a ya uh yuh o yo oo yoo eu i) 자 쟈 저 져 조 죠 주 쥬 즈 지 (Za Zya Zuh Zyuh Zo Zyo Zoo Zyoo Zeu Zi) 차 챠 처 쳐 초 쵸 추 츄 츠 치 (Cha Chya Chuh Chyuh Cho Chyo Choo Chyoo Cheu Chi) 카 캬 커 켜 코 쿄 쿠 큐 크 키 (Ka Kya Kuh Kyuh Ko Kyo Koo Kyoo Keu Ki) 타 탸 터 텨 토 툐 투 튜 트 티 (Ta Tya Tuh Tyuh To Tyo Too Tyoo Teu Ti) 파 퍄 퍼 펴 포 표 푸 퓨 프 피 (Pa Pya Puh Pyuh Po Pyo Poo Pyoo Peu Pi) 하 햐 허 혀 호 효 후 휴 흐 히 (Ha Hya Huh Hyuh Ho Hyo Hoo Hyoo Heu Hi) These are the basics. Now Combinations.... that is going to make my fingers bleed.

wrong position

If you don't understand, I'm sorry. I'll try to clarify as much as possible. I only finished 2nd Grade Korean, so I might not be able to help a lot, but here's what I think.... ...of course you should all know the vowels are short, not long. e.g. (-ham-) is not the ham you eat. It's pronounced as (-h(ah)m-). It's just used differently depending on the flow of language. This is probably advanced (unless you know japanese. It is very similar.)to understand.... sa-rang-han-da - most likely used to say that someone is in love with some one, or have crush on someone. OR, said to the person (or thing) in a way like a bit indirect because you have to put the nouns. e.g.... nan nuhl sa-rang-han-da - I(nan) love(sa-rang-han-da) you(nuhl). jae-neun jae-reul sa-rang-han-da - he/she(jae-neun) loves(sa-rang-han-da) him/her(jae-reul) but most of the times, I translate this as "To be loving something/someone". But then again, I can be wrong. sa-rang-ham-ni-da - mostly written than spoken. hmm.... not so sure. I hardly say "ni-da", since, I think, it is used mostly as "informational". if you know what I mean... sa-rang-hae - When you say this while talking to a person or group, you don't have to say "you" or "you all". the word "hae" directly points to the person or group you are talking to. This is a familiar term, meaning you say this to people who you are friendly with and/or if you are superior over them. sa-rang-hae-yo - Same as saranghae. except this is Formal. The word "yo" at the end of most of sentences makes it formal. Examples of Formal endings. "-ham-ni-da." when the sentence is giving something like information "-ham-ni-ka?" used when questioning. (In Japanese, it similar to "desu-ka".) "-ha-ne-yo." (-ha-) comes from (ha-da) which means "to do" so it pretty much means: "...(am/is/are) (doing or verb)..." "-hea-yo." As I said above, this is more direct to the person you are talking to. It's like making the verb into an adjective... so sa-rang-hae-yo(when it means I love you.) makes "love" describe how you feel about the person you are talking to. things like gat-chi-il-hae-yo(let's work together), it's just talking(or asking) directly to the person(or group) to work with you. The thing about the sentence ending with -yo is that it can be a question from also. "sa-rang-hae-yo." can mean "I love you.", but if it is "... (eul/reul) sa-rang-hae-yo?" can mean "Do you love ..." in question form, it is asking directly about the person you are talking to. Just in case you are wondering what (-neun) and (-reul) meant in the first example, (-neun), or (-eun) is same as (is/am). If you want to say (are), it would be (-deul-eun) because (They) is plural, and the word (-deul-) makes it plural. good example would be (geu-neun) and (geu-deul-eun). (geu-neun) means (He is) while (geu-deul-eun) makes it (They are), but it can also mean (Those men/boys are). If you speak spanish, it similar to difference between el and ellos. (-reul), or (-eul) makes it possessive. so (geu-reul) means (him). while (geu-deul-eul) means (them) or (those men/ boys). And yes, the (-deul-) rule is the same. *If you want to say she, or her, it is (geu-nyuh-neun)she and (geu-nyuh-reul)her. (-deul-) rule would be (geu-nyuh-deul-eun)Those women are , and(geu-nyuh-deul-eul)Those women* P.S. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I need to re-learn it my self... =_=
