I'm not judging them, it's not like I said they were disgusting or something like thatNundkai said:
I just said I'm sick of how they need to report all of this stuff on homosexuals on so many threads, they get way too loud about their homosexuality, it's not like you hear people screaming out about how they are straight.
Yes, but that doesn't mean everyone is going to drop the frikin' ball and become gay.DeadSp8s said:
Seriously, were not the only species that partakes in homosexuality. It's normal. Not every part of those other species are gay, just like humanity.
y'know what, that's a very logical argument. I don't find other men attractive, therefore they should be unable to hit on me. And y'know what - I don't like ribs showing and I don't like excessive wobbling, so we should deport all the anorexics and fat people. Come to think of it, blonde hair isn't my favourite either....so we'll get rid of those too.ezaviel said:
And you know what else! I wouldn't be comfortable with my family members hitting on me, so we need to get rid of those just in case, right?
Because it's a dangerous and contagious disease. Everybody should fear catching The Gay.
But seriously, some people are just scared of things that are different and that they don't understand. I generally take little interest in the sex lives of others and since a consensual homosexual relation ship hurts nobody it's non of my business how people want to live their lives.

I don't personally agree with homosexuality but I also take the opinion that what takes place behind closed doors in the privacy of someone's home is their business. Do I question whether or not heterosexual people are romping and bumping in the privacy of their own homes? No I do not, because that doesn't affect me personally, their sexuality does not ruin or impede my day in any way. I apply the same principle to homosexuals.
You do realise that population of Earth continues growing rapidly despite homosexuality being more accepted today? Do you also realise that being heterosexual does not necessarily mean that you will procreate? I am for example straight and have no intentions of having children ever.DeadSp8s said:
It doesn't, really. It only really matters to parents, I suppose. If your only child is gay and you want to have grandchildren, I think you'd be right to be a bit disappointed.
Being bisexual myself, I find it disappointing when someone is entirely straight or lesbian.
/joking. I'm not the sort of promiscuous person who would screw everyone they meet. Not in the slightest, actually.

It doesn't matter one bit for the majority of the population. Oe rather, it shouldn't. Unfortunately, politics and religion has become seriously blurred in many countries to the point where homosexuals are not afforded the same rights as heterosexuals.
Many that argue the point always seem to fall back to the religion aspect, especially when it comes to marriage for gay couples. Regrettably, many governments sided with the loudest voices, which happened to be those of the religious "majorities" of last century. While the times are changing, it seems it will be a while before gay couples are fairly treated. Even in Australia with a supposedly aetheist Prime Minister, allowing gay marriage had to be put to a CONSCIENCE vote because none of the two parties were willing to ratify it outright.
But in response to the OT, no, it shouldn't matter one bit the sexuality of another person. For some retarded reason, far too many people (especially men) seem to think that they need to beat off the teeming hordes of homosexuals lusting after them, which has bred a seriously misguided form of homophobia. Regrettably, discrimination and stupidity will reign wherever ignorance can be found. No, you should not be allowed to judge a person on their sexuality, but it happens far too often.
As far as I'm concered though, consenting adults can do what consenting adults do behind closed doors. It is none of my fucking business, which is the same reason why I don't go around asking ANYONE what they get up to in the sack. Especially bearing in mind that sexuality is one of those things that is actually hard wired into your brain. YOU CANNOT HELP IT, so as far as I'm concerned, sexual discrimination is just like gender or racial discrimination. It is born out of an irrational and uneducated prejudice and is inflicted on a person that cannot in any way, shape or form alter their genetics or heritage.

See, I've never understood this mentality. I've been in bars and have been hit on by gay men and even though I am straight, I always found it to be rather easy to just say "I'm flattered, but not interested."Sober Thal said:
This sort of stuff is only as awkward as people make it out to be and gay men are no different than anyone else. They aren't out to convert straight guys when there are a plethora of interesting gay guys to choose from already.
As long as men are willing to j*** o** in a cup then we should be fine, and I don't see that stopping anytime soon :3XMark said:
In all seriousness though, there is nothing wrong with being any type of orientation as long as the other partner is of age and is consenting.
Also DeadSp8s seems like he was raised by homophobes or something, homosexuality exists in over a dozen species on the planet and non of them are in danger of breeding problems. And cizilizations for over the last 3000 years have been experencing homosexuality and all of them are ok.
Well Japan is having a birth rate crisis but thats do to hetro couples not willing to marry because of social and finacial situations.
No. You'd have to be a complete fucking moron to let someone else's sexuality bother you. If you want get on that then you're free to bemoan your bad luck, but everyone else is entirely irrelevant to you.
I didn't realise "I'm no scientist" was code for "I'm an idiot".
The population has increased by like 3 billion since the 1970s, so I think we're safe there. Plus, there have always been gay people, and its never been an issue towards population growth.DeadSp8s said:
Not everyone is gay, so there's no problem.DeadSp8s said:

I think it's none of my business. And honestly, if they don't make a big deal of it, it doesn't even affect me. Homosexuals who go around proclaiming their sexuality I have a problem with, in the same way that I have a problem with anyone who tries to force their views upon me. This goes for homosexuals who act stereotypically gay (talking about males here mainly), I don't hate them because they're gay, I find them annoying because they're acting like idiots.
my friend has put it rather well for the opposite side (gays/bisexuals who are like this:

well put m'good man, and i shall reward you with a title. i dub thee, Zoomy of Jeff.Zoomy said:
you do realise that straight men and women, and gay men and women, do that to other straight/gay men/women? its called monogamy. the only reason you should care is if you're bisexual. and why do you care if a bisexual male is dating gay men (if you're straight)? or if a bi female is dating lesbians (if you're straight OR gay because how could you bang a lesbian)? do you have an issue with heterosexuals (if you're straight) because they're also taking all the women into relationships.Kopikatsu said:
That's no reason for them to boast about it wherever they go, and make you out to be a homophobe if you don't completely agree with their sexual status. Of course this isn't all homosexuals but some of the more flamboyant annoying ones, which irritate me highly.Darksqueee said:
