Indian 2 spirit gay boy coming out story cowboy western

[arachnophile01]

Funny, I thought two-spirit meant a sort of transgender native that sometimes fulfills male and sometimes female roles in the society, regardless of birth sex

@arachnophile01  there are no walls

[arachnophile01]

@sleekcartim I was just asking because I thought that you could be two-spirit and straight,or bisexual.

[inotaishu1]

@arachnophile01 I think the basic definition was that you had a spirit that wasn't expected to be in your body. So the term would probably, I think, encompass what we today would call LGBTI. However I think this wasn't universal among the tribes. It also depended on their religious views, if you had two-spirit gods two-spirit people are of course way more likely to be accepted.

But I am far from an expert, I just read one book dealing with the topic, so I could be wrong.

Like so many Indian philosphies, the Native American concept of the Two-Spirit rings so true and beautiful.

@sleekcartim Cause most Christians are fucking idiots... Native Americans understood that homosexuality is natural and meant to be. They were/are much more evolved spiritually

It's about time they apologized. No child should be rejected by their community, let alone their own family.

[sleekcartim]

If dad followed his true indian history, he never would have judged two spirit (indian term for gay) people. They were seen as special people, a gift from god, always believed this to be true even before i learned bout 2 spirits. proud (part) blackfoot indian here. peace.

[DouglasUrantia]

Now I understand. Gay natives are called "Two Spirit people". Cool, I like that.

[sleekcartim]

yes, 2 spirit, as in fem & masculine mixed person

[robbiesyohn]

@sleekcartim I consider myself a 2 spirit as well. I am a descendant of the Wendat people and our history doesn't have anything recorded about having 2 spirited people because the jesuits hid that information from us. I am proud of 2 spirited people because we are the true spiritual peoples in Native American cultures.

[robbiesyohn]

@sleekcartim you are absolutely correct. Most traditionalists respect the winkte,agokwa,nad le,bade,etc because of their spiritual connections are deep and they are healers and help in the culture for nurturing people.
