It really annoys me when people go "AS LONG AS THEY DON'T FLAUNT IT IN FRONT OF ME", and think that's totally OK. Whenever a straight couple kiss in a film or something, no one bats an eye, but when it's same-sex, they're flaunting it and 'pushing it in your face'.
Please tell me some people understand why this attitude is wrong.

You answered the question yourself. You're not in the minority and you're not still fighting for equal rights.Fumbleumble said:
OT: People can shag, marry and go out with whatever gender they like.
No "buts", no "whatever you want behind closed doors".

Meek little kid on the spectrum, youngest in his year level (everyone else was older by at least one year), surrounded mainly by bogans. You can pretty much guess the rest.Zachary Amaranth said:
"Words will never hurt me" is a complete lie; get really creative, and do it often enough, for long enough (five years in my case) and you can break a person - and I can't exactly retaliate against "just words", can I?
Still, I suppose it doesn't compare to what some other Escapists had to deal with. I mean, look at Furburt; he nearly killed someone because they wouldn't stop.
I don't understand this at all. Isn't it flattering either way? And wouldn't a simple "I'm not interested/not gay" suffice? I'd let a gay dude flirt with me if he was buying me a drink, but I'd respect him enough to tell him I'm straight after the third or fourth.Lordedubs said:
I am disgusted by homosexuals, however I believe in their rights as human beings and if they make the choice to be homosexual, thats fine with me, Im still disgusted by it, but who am I to really care what they do behind closed doors, I dont care but when I do, it disgusts me, but godammit, they have the right of a human being to get married, adopt a kid, etc etc?
Also like many, I kinda dont like it when their all up in my face about

I'm heterosexual and pretty much don't care about the sexual preference of others. As long as no one's in my face about their sexuality, they can have BDSM with corpses for all I care.
I'm a bisexual woman, but I do prefer other women. There are some men I find attractive, but the list is small and unacheivable.
Fortunately I live in Canada, so the only homophobic attacks I've ever heard of is against a very violent and easily upset girl in my school's GSA, and I don't think that's as much about being gay as just bothering her.

The idea of discrimination of any type is offensive. On something as personal, variable, and unscientific as sex is down-right stupid. Simply put, sex, sexuality, and gender often have little to do with one another. It's like telling someone they can't join the army because their toes are too long. WHO FREAKIN' CARES!
Well I never understood Queers (queer covers all sexual orientation because there is more then the "Big Three" Gay, Lesbian, and Bi) until I went to collage were there was a larger community of LGBT and after spending some time with them I came to understand that they are normal humans wit wants and need like our own.
I don't like gays, I can tolerate 'em but I don't have to like them. And I'm especially against flamers.
And why? Because I just have to think what they actually do and it repulses me. But sure they can have their thing, on the plus side if people are gay, there's gonna be more women for me and less overpopulation, so yeah.
And adoption? No.. just no. The kid is not gonna turn out right if he/she gets raised by a gay couple. Call me old fashioned but that's what I think.

I'm straight
Idc what gay people do
I don't mind two men kissing or holding hands or whatever.
I understand some men get repulsed or some shit when they see any form of homosexuality...weird.

I'm pretty sure I'm bi.
And I don't see your sexuality like a big deal anyway - the only thing I don't like is when people seem to be offended when I ask them about their sexuality, or show interest in learning more about it, how they came to that conclusion and what not. For some reason they take this like I'm trying to mock them or that I'm just stupid. That frustrating, I just want to understand.
But maybe this is just because I'm a very open person myself.

I know what you mean. Words hurt. I got both ends of the spectrum. So I started being fast with my mouth and faster with my fists, because bullies hate it when you talk back. It sucks, and I totally feel you on that. I didn't break so much as snapped.Wardnath said:
Generally, it comes down to insecurity. When a guy hits on you, it means he thinks you're gay. Or worse, is hoping you're gay!Cliff_m85 said:
the only thing worse is hearing the usual tripe that gays should keep it to themselves, because even if not intentionally bigoted, it's an attitude that encourages us to be divided and alone, which makes it more dangerous for us. You might as well be telling us to "fuck off and die."
