gay roots and horror stories

In literature, one 'gay roots' aspect could be seen in works like 'Maurice' by E. M. Forster. It explored gay identity in a time when it was not widely accepted. As for horror stories related, some horror tales might involve gay characters facing discrimination which adds a layer of horror. For example, a gay character being shunned by society in a spooky small town setting, where the social horror is as bad as the supernatural elements.

The Mattachine Society in the United States has roots in the gay community's fight for rights. It was an important organization in the early days. Regarding horror stories, there were cases where gay people were 'treated' with electroshock therapy in an attempt to 'cure' them in the past. This inhumane practice was a nightmare for those who had to go through it.

Not really. Although there are some tales that can be considered horror stories in gay adoption, they are a small fraction compared to the overall number of adoptions by gay couples. These horror stories often stem from discriminatory attitudes in society, but most places are becoming more accepting and ensuring fair treatment for gay adoptive parents.

Yes. For instance, there are stories where gay parents faced legal challenges from prejudiced individuals or groups. These challenges aimed to revoke their adoption rights even though they were providing a loving and stable home for the child.

The first novel to mention the spiritual root was " Immortal Mad Dragon ".

There was a situation where during a gay hookup, the partner started to become overly aggressive and wouldn't respect boundaries. It was a terrifying experience as the other guy felt violated and unsafe. He had to struggle to get away.

In some areas, there have been reports of local businesses trying to sabotage the gay parade. They might put up signs that are derogatory or try to block the parade route. This not only affects the smooth running of the parade but also makes the gay community feel unwanted and discriminated against in that area. It can be a very disheartening experience for those who are just trying to celebrate their identity and rights in a public space.

One common theme is isolation. Gay characters are often made to feel alone, like in a story where a gay teenager is shunned by his family and then starts experiencing supernatural events while living alone in an old house. Another theme is persecution. For example, a gay couple is constantly harassed by a shadowy figure who represents the bigotry in society. Fear of discovery is also a theme. In a story, a gay man in a conservative town tries to hide his identity but is haunted by something that seems to know his secret, causing him great anxiety.

There have been cases where in the midst of a gay adoption, the biological family of the child discovers the adoptive parents are gay and tries to interfere. For example, they might create legal hurdles or try to influence the child against the new family. This can lead to a very difficult situation for the gay couple and the child, as the child is caught in the middle of a conflict not of their own making.

In some areas, a gay couple adopted a child, but the local community was not accepting at all. The child was bullied at school because of having two dads or two moms. The school might not be very supportive either, not taking proper actions against the bullies. This made the family feel isolated and the child suffered a lot in terms of self - esteem and mental well - being.
