Gayness!

[Linus]

Don't you mean... UMI_BUTTERFLY?!!?!

[Moon Rabbits]

wait, laddy said member. Does this mean there is a little secret society? A Homosexual Agenda so to speak?

I loves me some radical queer action.

I don't understand the whole 'We're here, we're queer, get used to it' mentality. You don't see that many straight people these days (at least I don't) with a 'We're straight, we hate, get used to it' attitude.

I guess a better way to say it is 'Why identify yourself by your sexuality?' Why label yourselves?

That being said, I'm not gay, but it's totally cool with me if anyone else is. We've all got our preferences.

Not all queers are like that. Also, I can understand that mentality a lot. Whereas in North America and other regions, queers rights have made a lot of progress, there is still a long way to go. A handful of states in the USA have legalized gay marriage. Canada's own Prime Minister has made attempts to revoke or modify gay marriages. Heck, even older equality movements, such as racial and women movements, have yet to achieve perfect equality and might never.

Also, simply because you identify as gay or queer does not mean you do not identify as other things too. We all identify at some point as something, though none of those labels will tell the whole truth of who you are.

I can't find the gay joke.

My best friends are all gay/bi

Your sexuality is not an incidental aspect of yourself. It directly influences your interactions with others of all sexes and genders, as well as your specific experiences throughout your life. Identifying yourself by your sexuality therefore makes about as much sense as going by anything else.

Correct. While overdone Gay Pride can be annoying, secuality actually affects you directly in nonphysicals ways, whereas race and nationality do not directly affect you in any nonphysical fashion.

OBJECTION~

And in your face ridiculous amounts of gay pride woo stickers and sparkles and waterguns etc. is like, the best thing ever, btw.

that's a pretty interesting blog, aisle, thanks for the link!

I don't care for bisexual men.

Within the realm of dating.

As a people LGBT they are fine as long as they do not invade my personal space or life

[KoShiatar]

What rights don't they have? I'm pretty sure Gays are treated like anybody else unless you happen across a biggot.

Which happens much more often than one would like.

[Cuchulainn]

What is all this LGBT talk. You make sexual preferences sound like a model of Harley Davidson.

Straight people invade my life all the time though

[Blue Harvest]

My best friends are all gay/bi

Does that make us best friends too?

I'm fine with them as long as they aren't hitting on me or making me feel uncomfortable, which is hard to do, unless I'm being hit on by someone I don't like... and I don't like girls, I don't like bisexual men, and I don't like trannies. *shrug*

You'll be amazed over finding out that in #eoff, this thread topic would be wordfiltered to something completely different. Yay fascism.

That filter needs removed.
