Why Homosexuality Should be Banned

[Snowy Rainbow]

This is an open attack on homosexual nature, and I firmly believe that you are simply trying to troll, sir. I disrespect your attempt, and will not be swayed by the words in that most hurtful video.

. . . Nope, couldn't keep a straight face writing it. Freedom to jump on beds for the win! I'll go do that now.

On another note, I'm amazed the dude in the video could keep a straight face.

I was being totally serious with that vid! Instant oatmeal is just wrong!

Why does this keep happening. *sigh*

So, all heterosexual people are flaunting their sexuality too?

Sexuality does not make anyone 'flaunt.' There are inconsiderate and intrusive individuals in every sexual orientation.

I've never met a straight gal or guy who is in the closet and if being open about your sexuality makes you a flaunter, they are too :O

'In the closet' would mean that they hide or deny being straight. While homosexuality isn't considered a mental problem nowadays, being ashamed of heterosexuality might be. 'Being open' just means that they don't hide or deny it. Neither of these has anything to do with flaunting.

Wow, that title is super misleading.
I came here ready to flame you with the burning fury of a thousand suns!
That video saved me a lot of typing
That was great. Definately gonna spread the vid to some narrow minded people.

I'm glad! Spread it like... warm butter! Knowledge is the best defense against hate.

And whats the difference between a gay man hitting on you, or a woman hitting on you (if you're a heterosexual man). Its preference. A gay man might be offended and upset when hit on by a woman, just as much as a straight man when he's hit on by a gay man.

I learned from my Anthropology class, and this is probably much less applicable today, that there's a lot more going on to that situation than just what you say. Because of gender roles, women are pretty much expected to say "no" to the initial proposition, and men are expected to continue to pursue after, with varying degrees of stigma attached to the act of saying "yes" to the first advance on the part of the woman. Being hit on puts a man, (in the case of one who gets uncomfortable or upset by being hit on by gays) in the place of the woman, where the only option is to say "no," but declining the proposition, at least in this man's experience, is no way to prevent further propositions. Apparently when women's rights were still being fought for, women would gather in groups and catcall men to demonstrate how uncomfortable it was for women when men did that, and men apparently got quite upset as well.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that one's gender roles play a significant part in how much being hit on bothers you, and those are kind of hard to blame on someone.

Actually, this video is fundamentally an attack against instant oatmeal for which I will not stand for.

The video I found quite humourous. Although I can't see posting it as anything else other than trollbait as it is rather... obnoxious at the same time. Some people will be too dumb to take it how its supposed to be taken and will see it as an attack against homosexuality.

Plus there is the fact its your very first post.

I dunno. My avatar is a rainbow, my name has rainbow in it and the video is supremely sarcastic. You really think it'll go over anyone's head? You think too little of your Escapst brothers and sisters!

Yeah I do think it'll go over some peoples heads x)

Notice my post count to my join date, I don't post very often on here [compared to some users, I.E Dexiro who has been for a year and a half and has almost ten times the amount of posts I do] due to the fact that people get far too uppity and think they are taking the high ground, by arguing with you then dropping a report on one of your posts, leaving you with a dirty warning stain on an otherwise sterling profile. So yeah I skulk in the background, occasionally posting where I feel it might be safe

So yeah, a lot of people on the Escapist are dumb, and think everything has to be reported. I'm sure as shit you'll get some sort of rebuttal from this

Honestly it's going over my head. Sure I can see it's sarcastic and such, but I have no idea what it has to do with rainbows. Maybe a rainbow is a gay sign or something?

I think the point they were trying to get across is that people who accuse homosexuals of "flaunting" their homosexuality are actually accusing them of being open and honest about their sexuality, and that term does not apply in either homosexual or heterosexual cases.

I've never liked gender roles. They helped us (humans) evolve and fight our way to the top of the food-chain, but in today's modern society they are completely outdated and need to be exiled from public consciousness.

You like instant oatmeal? Freak!

Okay, that was unfair. You can... *shiver* eat your instant oatmeal if you chose to be that way. Just do it behind closed doors!

[sup]I'm glad they don't let people like you adopt.[/sup]

hey hey hey HEY
Homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom

Yep, I had a dog that was gay--well, actually bi. Well...actually anything that he could get a grip on...

That was a really nice video. I didn't think it was going to be sarcastic.

 

[Ziggy]

as a matter of fact i did
i just wanted to point it out

I had a dog that quite enjoyed the company of shoes.

I love arguements like this that are just taking the piss, but actually make good points while doing it.

Not gona lie though, when I clicked it I was think "What is this ignorante prick talking about?"

That's one aspect of transgender that's completely alien to me - being the 'wrong gender'. Wanting to be a gender you're not seen as makes sense. But seeing yourself as the wrong gender is odd to me, as I've never seen myself as a gender. Not to say either of us is weird or wrong, mind.

It's hard for me to put into words the way I feel about myself ( the way I look & such ). To put it as simple as I can ( the thought that runs through my mind most ) is I just wanna be pretty not masculine. My mind just tells me I should be a girl and this casing is just not the true me. And your right neither of us are wrong or weird it's just how we are wired.

I do have to say it sounds a bit to me that your pansexual at least a bit since you don't think of yourself as any gender.

But then again what do I know. They all seem to be just convenient labels anyway I guess.

"Gender role" is a very ambiguous term and could describe systems where men are dominant and women are submissive, where women are dominant and men are submissive, or where both genders are practically equal. Said system may or may not have a place for inter-gender people, as well.

Reminds me of this girl on YouTube who posted a video saying Lady Gaga's song 'Judas' is evil. She then posted a different video on the same channel in response to her video, claiming to be another girl against the original. Of course nobody got it, since the majority of commenters were teenage girls. Either way, this is hilarious trolling.

I think maybe people don't think about themselves as one gender over another as much if their body matches their wiring... Maybe, Iunno. I've never thought of myself as one gender over another, but I could be abnormal. (Good chance of that, being asexual xP)

 

[Pandaman1911]

Hm. Never saw that before. I... don't really see the point of putting that on YouTube, because almost nobody there will understand the idea of satire, or hell, even sarcasm. I can imagine all the "OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU" comments and such... but whatever. I liked it, it was kind of amusing.

The OP was posting a guy being sarcastic about gays being banned. He COUNTERED pretty much every argument people have against gays with snide remarks.
