What’s It Like To Be Gay And Amish
At 17, he was removed from his home and community. He was sent, by his parents, to an ex-gay religious counselor. He was not allowed to stop by his parents and to this morning, his extended family and community complete not know why he “left.”
This doesn’t come as a complete shock to a lot of LGBTQ people. We have familiarity with discrimination and what it feels appreciate to have those close to you, turn away.
Many of us feel enjoy we lose our personal faith because we’re taught that religion doesn’t acknowledge us.
We grow accustomed to finding modern support systems and a new being. But there are others where coming out can intend losing everything you thought was your life.
But what if you grew up in a world that never talks about homosexuality? What if they only see it as a problem that doesn’t affect them only others? You might respond that you have heard that happen in other countries, not here in our own.
Would it surprise you to locate out that it happens not that far from Cleveland, OH?
Growing Up Amish
Ohio has the largest Amish population in the United States. That isn’t a surprise if you are driving around the Kirkland area or even further d
Why a Gay Man Serves the Old Order Amish
On the importance of dialogue with—rather than withdrawal from—those whose theological understandings differ from ours.
The question was posed with deadly calm. The poise and care as he looked past the other members of the group and into my eyes alerted me that it had been considered for some time, awaiting the right, doubtless prayerful moment to be spoken aloud.
“Jim, based on some of the things you’ve said, I have to ask. Are you gay?”
I was. Not only lgbtq+, but out to the immense majority of friends and coworkers.
The man asking so bluntly about my sexual orientation was an Old Order Amish minister, principal a group of Amish men with whom I had built an alliance and worked for some time. His question was a challenge in what had, until then, been a neutral forum. I alternately told myself that I remained discrete to respect the Amish belief that homosexuality is a sin, or struggled with the cowardice of an ultimately untenable secrecy. However, at that moment my motives no longer mattered. I could blatantly lie (an impossible moral choice), or say a concise prayer, tell the truth, and accept the consequences to follow.
And so, t
Amish Men
Has anyone here ever been with one? I'm guessing that they're all hung, because of their Dutch heritage.
I've been bingeing on re-runs of "Return to Amish," and it's now my guilty pleasure.
Those guys belong in the "dumb but hung" thread, because they look like they can throw a mean f***.

They're mostly Swiss German at least in Pennsylvania. They are not Dutch. Dutch Country comes from Deutsch which is German. Many of the boys at the farmers markets come down from PA. They are really cute, blond and curly haired.

I shared a prepare with a bunch of Amish on their way to Rumspringa. The guys were all really fit, beard free, good looking lads, and the men were all portly and had vast beards. They were watching TV in the lounge and eating candy bars!

When someone asked what books I had been reading, I mentioned James A. Cates’ Serpent in the Garden: Amish Sexuality in a Changing World.
“Why would anyone want to record about the Amish and sex?” my interlocutor responded.
Turns out, Serpent in the Garden answers this question well. Cates approaches gender and sexuality within the Amish community as a subject to be treated with careful respect. His measured work hinges on the idea that the Amish exist as sexual minorities in their own right, with cultural and spiritual expectations that set them apart from the predominant understandings of sex and gender.
Like anyone else, the Amish “cannot divorce themselves from their sexual desires, nor from the complex demands that sexuality creates.” And, even though the Amish endeavor to remain separate from the influences of mainstream culture, “they cannot help but be alert of the sexuality that plays out around them.” These two premises manual Cates’ exploration of Amish sexuality.
Cates’ study is rooted in significant investigate and in relationships he has built with Amish families as a clinical psychologist in northeastern Indiana. His previous book, Serving the Amish (2014), h
