[quote:Anonymous Coward 16542544:MV8xODg3OTY5XzMxNTMxMzg1XzIxNDZFMjcz] [quote:Joshus:MV8xODg3OTY5X0I0NzZGRTRF] I started reading GLP about a month or so ago and instantly got hooked! But I have a question - what's with all the hateful, anti-gay posts? As a gay man, I understand its awkward or even offensive to "shove my gayness in everyone's face." So I don't. In fact, if we met in a public setting, I guarantee, you wouldn't think I was gay. I'm just trying to be happy - just like everyone else. Am I the only one who feels this way?? [/quote] The hate stems from insecure individuals projecting their insecurity outwards. Defense mechanism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection [i][b]Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings[/b][/i] -------------------------- These individuals have some evolving to do. I'm straight and I agree with you. [/quote]
