Homosexuality

[brunothepig]

No problem. It certainly isn't for me, just the thought of being with another man is weird for me... But I have no problem with gay people.

'She's a lesbian? oooh, I better stay away from her, she probably fancies me.'

*This isn't her view by the way, for anyone who didn't see this post.
It's just an example of one of the major things that annoys me about homophobia.
It's pathetic really, just because someone is gay doesn't mean they're attracted to every member of the same sex, just like straight people aren't attracted to every member of the opposite sex. And what are they so afraid of anyway? It's unlikely that that person will rape someone they find attractive, gay or not. Certainly there would be gay rapists, but the odds on that would be less than meeting a straight rapist.
It just really irritates me. It's illogical, and insulting. Not to mention really stupid.

Ok, so we've had having problems in the shower talks.

Wait, what? On second thought I don't want to know...

Anyways, on-topic. I don't mind them, whatever makes them happy I guess. Homosexuals are entitled to chase for their own happiness, as long as they do it without the whole "see how gay I am"-attitude. So freakin' what? It's your choice and it doesn't make you more special than anyone else (unless the reason for your homosexuality is radioactivity or something (but that doesn't work)).

Im pro all kinds of consensual sex, if it doesn't hurt anyone that is.

This.

Being opposed to another person's sexuality on a moral ground is never a tenable position. You can hate gay sex all you want, that's fine, but you're way out of line if you ever think that your personal opinions should have any bearing on how someone else chooses to live their life.

This reminds me of a quote from a friend: "If you don't like gay marriage, don't get gay married."

I don't mind they can do what they like. I am
it just pisses me off when people whoa re against homosexuality always think about what happens behind closed doors.
your not there what does it matter how they get frisky? you don't think that when it is a regular heterosexual couple.

but i will say they throw fantastic parades! yeah gay pride parade!

 

[hurfdurp]

I wish I had two mothers.

 

[FamoFunk]

I support the civil partnership and marriage of homosexuals but Im against children adoption.

Why?

I'm not speaking for Dana22, but biologialy, only a Male and Female can reproduce, two Females and two Males cannot reproduce together (this is, they were born Male and Female) so it's deemed un-natural I guess?.

Then prehaps we have the child asking "Why don't I have a Mummy and Daddy" (of different sex)

I've never actually seen a same sex couple raise a child etc. but I would much rather a same sex couple raise a child in a loving, caring, safe enviroment than the biological sperm doner and carrier abuse the child, show it no love and affection and neglect it.

Homosexuals are perfectly fine with me, no different than any other person. I do despise the ones who flaunt their sexuality openly in public, though that goes for people of any sexuality.
Gay Pride parades are frustrating too. You want to be treated equally? Start acting like it then instead of marching up and down streets every year.
Overall, people such as homo-phobics and racists who believe that their opinions are worth so much that they can restrict other peoples rights make me sick...

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

To all who hide behind the veil of the phrase "..as long as they don't shove it in my face.."

Homosexuals will stop flaunting their sexuality, as soon as you stop shoving yours down their throat.

Homos have something wrong with them. Physicaly Wrong.

Every animal on the planet lusts after a animal of the same species, but of the opposite sex.

Humans are no different... Usialy.

These people either have some weird Hormone imbalance or They have fooled themselfs into thinking they like the same sex, because it simply isnt natural.

 

[Labyrinth]

The people who can get past that crap are the people who bother to find out that most gays are just people.

I'm intrigued by the "Most gays are just people." bit. In my experience, all gays are people. Just as all homophobes are people. And all accepting people are people. Flawed, human, unique in their own oft-repeated fashions. People. Every last one of the miserable homo sapiens on this earth is a person, equal in their imperfections.


On topic, my attitude to homosexuality is like my attitude to any other single factor in an identity. It's not a decider in terms of whether I like a person or not. Like gender, it's irrelevant to my perception of them, because the personality which they build around their identity is the important bit. I'm not straight myself so I may be a little biased here.

 

[Blunderman]

I wouldn't feel comfortable if two guys started making out in front of me. Actually, I wouldn't feel comfortable with public making out. It's just..not cool in general. Outside of that, I don't mind at all.

I think this argument is quite funny. It'd be like saying ugly people shouldn't be allowed out in public. Or people with Down's syndrome, or Twilight posters.

Of course, I don't mean to claim that you want to ban any of these things. Except for the last thing. I could totally understand that.

This reminds me of a quote from a friend: "If you don't like gay marriage, don't get gay married."

This one amuses me to no end!

Please take a look [http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2010/04/gay_animals.php] at [http://www.news-medical.net/news/2006/10/23/20718.aspx] these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior] before [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/07/0722_040722_gayanimal.html] spouting such uninformed nonsense.

Homosexuals have bought me drinks a couple times, and that's about as good as you can do in obtaining my good will.

Also don't really mind the super-openly gay people that "flaunt their sexuality," it doesn't give me wood but it's far more entertaining than most straight people, and I'm so tired of seeing all the men dress, act, and even fucking smell the same (axe, everywhere more axe) that seeing someone step outside the box is always refreshing.

Super-secret tip, though, for those that haven't figured it out yet, a lot of guys that act super flamboyant are doing it because they know it makes you uncomfortable. Like all human relationships, loosen up and everybody seems a lot more fun and a lot less threatening.

I knew you were too awesome to be hetero-normative.

*high-fives you*

It's all cool.

Physicaly wrong? They're disabled or something? Oh.

 

[Mr Fixit]

Whoever & whatever people want to be with & make a life with is fine by me. what right do i have to judge others?

I don't know any strictly homosexuals, but i do know a few bi-sexuals & i have no problems with them, in fact they are some of the nicest people i know, not full of hate like alot of these redneck idiots that live in the area. I live in the south eastern part of the U.S. where most people are culturally & socially ignorant & unwilling to change.

 

[SturmDolch]

I'm fine with it, of course. But, like with any minority group anywhere, stop acting like attention-whore children. We need Gay Pride Parades as much as we need Black History Month, i.e. not at all. It just teaches us to segregate each other. Why not have a "Celebration Month" or "History Day" or something where everyone can enjoy it? Why are you so special that you get to have your parade? I'm sure if someone started a "Straight Pride Parade" they would be called bible-thumping hate-mongering un-Canadian terrorists.

Honestly, those flashy parades make the normal ones look bad. I swear there would be less homophobia if they didn't exist. Take your typical, average, working-class hero 20-something club-bopping straight guy. He's a macho dood. He walks down the street and is assaulted by a tsunami of colour, feathers, and guys in tights. It reminds the guy of musicals and chick flicks and he fucking hates that shit. It makes him want to punch a kitten. He sees the words "Gay pride". Now he associates the word "Gay" with something he hates.

But yeah, otherwise, go ahead. Adopt kids, marry, do whatever you want. Just realize you're not special. Different, yes, but not special anymore.

 

[Ryokai]

I think we're all forgetting that HOMOS ARE GAY.

But seriously, go ahead, so long as it's not in my face, and that goes for straights too.

How they deal with their dysfunction is their business, not mine.
