@tjshimeld: I lived a life based on lies. I could not even tell myself the truth. Christian values permeated every aspect of the US culture. I did not grow up particularly religious, but those ideals were everywhere: ➡️ School ➡️ TV ➡️ Movies Growing up, I never saw my true self reflected anywhere. I married my high school girlfriend, because that’s what you were supposed to do. I never felt free to be me. It took me 38 years to finally be true to myself and fully accept that I was gay. Yet, it wasn’t until after meeting my husband and moving to Spain that I became COMFORTABLE being gay.😮‍💨 Here, it is not just tolerated, not just accepted, it is just NATURAL.🥰 Spain truly embraces the tenant to love your neighbor.❤️🤗❤️ ✨Embrace Your MAGIC✨ and ❤️Live Your DREAMS 🌈 #gayfriendly #comingout #gaycouple #gaymenlifecoach #comingoutlaterinlife

I was gay at a Catholic school in Spain and I never had any problems with either students or teachers.

I am Catholic and Spanish, and reciprocated love between two people is always a blessing. Welcome to Spain.

Obviously Spain has bigots as do other parts of Europe. However for the most part most people people here don’t care. I’m English a straight English man, when I meet gay people I literally couldn’t give a shit and will treat you the same as anyone else (with respect). They’ve no room or time to hate others

From Italy we see Spain as 50 years above Italy on such topics 🙃

Mi abuela, nacida en 1933, iba a misa con frecuencia, varias veces en semana, con sus vecinas. Un día el curo habló mal de la homosexualidad. Al terminar la misa, mi abuela se acercó al cura y le dijo que no volvería a verla, que esos no eran valores cristianos. Nunca volvió, ella y sus vecinas empezaron a ir a otra iglesia más lejos 👍🏻

totally agree with you, we're a gay couple and moved here 8 years ago from the uk. Very much more relaxed here being gay. Most of our friends are heterosexual but jave a great group of friends, our male friends are so much more comfortable with us here and relaxed enough to be a little camp 😂😂

creo que en España tenemos más el catolismo como referente de cultura pop. también somos conscientes de que un libro como la biblia que se escribió hace casi 2 milenios estaba muy bien para su época pero que hay que adaptar sus contenidos a la sociedad a como cambia y evoluciona.
