What do you mean "male" and "homosexuality" is incompatible?
Further what the hell do you mean your ethnicity is divisive? What are you talking about?
You should talk about poetry if that's what you want to do.
I dislike being cursed at here; am used to being treated with anger & violence, especially recently. If you can rephrase the question without cursing, as a precaution against potential hostility, I would be more ok with answering.

There are people & cultures that don't recognize the existence of 'male homosexuality'. This can vary from denying that it exists within humans, within nature, or as a sort of category. There's also those that recognize it as a category, though as something disallowed or punishable. And, there's also those who disprefer the sexuality for other reasons, and are intolerant of it.
My ethnicity, as I've been told, is half Puerto Rican, a quarter Ukrainian, and a quarter English/Scottish. There are those who aren't tolerant 'ethnic mixing', as one example, which I think is influenced by how ethnic category systems can force a sort of divisive choosing here.
Okay, but those are both normal identities here. Have you had bad experiences based on those identities here?
Its an odd linguistic choice to identify as a "male homosexual" specifically and especially as a defiant statement against a seemingly specific type of bigotry.
Further its odd to start from the assumption that people will be racist towards you as well. Especially here where we can't know that information unless given to us.
You're clearly traumatized and reacting in response to that, but it starts the conversation off on a terrible foot when you assume the community you're posting to for the first time is going to be hostile to you for things we cannot know unless you share it. I think the hostility you've encountered here, including my swearing, was triggered by this because you offended us.
I'm ready for non-hostility.
Would you like to talk more?
I'm interested in making friends. I'll send you my email if you'd like
My email is just beumuth@gmail.com, though I much prefer the tree-style form of communication like here over email.
My favorite Star Trek character is Seven of Nine, though I haven't fully watched the series.
I'm interested in both meditation & technology. Meditation can be like a spaceship, in that it can give powers like transporting to different places, or contacting relatively 'alien' beings. Though, I think it's possible for technology to induce meditation much more conveniently than e.g. changing lifestyle in order to learn how to meditate.
