Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1229928All typical human behaviors, you see the same type of shit from religious jokers and political extremists. True... just like any other subculture or slice of society... but I have been in several different subcultures and the gay world is truly vicious in this way. You shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall set you free. ********************************* rikerglp (at) gmail.com ********************************* |

Doesn't mean you shouldn't speak up if you see something clearly unhealthy, and no I don't think being homosexual or lesbian fits that in and of itself, but beyond that let them make their own choices as opposed to forcing your own beliefs onto them.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 875198 United States 01/22/2011 03:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't even know why this issue gets as much attention as it does. I don't care what other people do in their sex lives, I just don't really want to hear about. I don't want gay people to talk about how proud they are, and I don't want to hear gay or straight people talking about their sex lives because I just don't care about that. That should remain personal. I just feel like some gay people feel they have to overcompensate for their status by lots of PDA and sharing their gayness with the world. Frankly I don't feel ready to have to explain to my 4 and 7 year olds why those two guys are making out. That said, one of my best friends since I was a child is a gay man so I am not at all homophobic. Just think discretion is a good thing. |

I remember when I first accidentally was a mild victim of male homosexuals that HATE women. I was young, naive- didn't care about sexual orientation in the least. My point - both sets of behaviors are very bamboozling. Personal responsibility - try it sometime. Quit blaming others for your bad choices. Consequences happen. :enaid11: |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1155690 United States 01/22/2011 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You know, there's a lot of people who can't handle the idea that people can change. Quoting: RikerI've been in the gay world for more than 12 years and the thing that gays and lesbians CAN'T STAND is the thought that their homosexuality JUST MIGHT be a choice.... and they can't stand it when someone rejects the culture and the idea that maybe there is another way that they could live. I have seen many, many shots drank in honor of "fuck that bitch, going straight", etc. over the years. I've seen women who have been with other women for years decide to go out with a man and be completely blacklisted in the community. I've seen people practically excommunicated - including myself - for having libertarian or conservative political beliefs. Faith is a topic you can't even talk about. Well actually you can as long as it's something liberal - Unitarianism, Buddhism, hell even Islam is a safe topic but NOT Christianity, Catholicism or Judaism. I can't tell you the amount of hatred toward God and faith of most sorts. In some cases, family members and members of society who were complete assholes to someone they didn't know just because they were gay gave them a damned good reason and God's name is blasphemed because of those unloving people. There are also plenty of asshole men and women out there who really are bigoted pricks and I'm sure many of them will post on this thread. But it is a lie to say that there isn't a deeper seated hatred in many towards God in the gay community for other reasons. And now, it's not even safe to question or think for yourself in the gay community. People are so confused... even straight people wanting to be good people are afraid to speak their own opinions on things. If you even QUESTION the idea that people are born gay and have no choice, you're a bigot and homophobic. If you notice things about the gay lifestyle and/or community that aren't healthy (and there are plenty of examples) then you're "blaming the victims". If you have identified as a gay or lesbian and question your orientation, then you are suffering from internalized homophobia. If you don't act on gay whims, then you will be repressed and miserable and probably kill yourself. If you have a problem with gays, then you must be gay. If you've ever had a problem with relationships with the opposite sex, you must be gay. If you've even once been curious about the same sex, then you must be gay. And if you leave the lifestyle, well then, you were never gay to begin with. It's the biggest crock of shit. I'm not gonna judge someone one way or another. There is a Judge but it's not me. But I'm sick and tired of people who claim to be sons and daughters of God spewing hate towards someone whose sin is just more visible than their own... And I'm equally sick and tired gays spewing hate towards someone who dares to question the party line and take responsibility for their lives, their actions and their decisions.

User ID: 1239433 United States 01/22/2011 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for posting this. I'm straight and have no issue with homosexuality. I have done a fair bit of research on the topic, as my high school sweet heart, whom I had a 15 year relationship and 7 year marriage, along with two beautiful children...divorced me because she is a lesbian. The only caveat I have about people and the life they choose to live is to live as authentic a life as possible. Be real to yourself. BE REAL. That said, in my observations and study of homosexuality, there is are a lot of people living inauthentic lives. 'nuff said. Once again, thanks for your posts and bullet points. You are an observant sort, and I appreciate that. NevynShyne Find me & friend me on FB. /nevynshyne |
