The Homosexuality Discussion Thread

[homeforsummer]

I have male best friends, as everyone else. I however don't feel the need to whip my out and start doing things.
And that's the only difference between a regular relationship & a gay one.

Err... no. A gay relationship is no different to a heterosexual relationship, other than the gender of the people involved.

If the gender was all that mattered then presumably I'm mentally ill for not wanting to sleep with every single one of my female friends, since gender is the only defining factor in what makes a relationship right or wrong?...

They are obviously trying to change what's been happening for as long as man has lived.

I guarantee people have been gay since before formalised religion. Several species of animal have been observed in homosexuality, and animals have no religion.

(Obviously they want the whole world to know that they suck )

Well quite. Because:

a) Every gay person is obviously male, and
b) Of all the reason to be in a relationship (happiness, companionship, love, security, friendship, sex etc) the main thing they really want the outside world to know how much they love fellating each other.

If they don't want to be considered different, then why the heck are they going out of their way so much to tell the whole world "Hey look at us, and know what we do between the bed-sheet"?

I have several gay friends and I don't think a single one of them has ever told me what they do behind closed doors. Nor even implied it. In fact, were it not for the fact that some of them told me they were gay, I'd be hard pressed to realise it myself.

But again, all homosexuals are apparently raging queers.

Is their mentality like "Well no one is persecuting us (in the white world at least) so let's try to get more right, just for the fun".

No, I think it's more to do with equal rights, and that no one person deserves fewer rights than the next person. In the same way that black people don't have to use different buses.

Obviously all you want to do is joke around, and aren't smart enough to come up with anything related to what I'm saying. Age has nothing to do with it now; nothing has anything to do with it now, right?
Basically you're just 'trolling'.

Yup, I'm saying it doesn't make a difference whether you're allowed to start it at age zero or age 16, not when we're talking about why a parade about a subject is wrong and about the other subject, isn't.

Does age matter when we're talking about sexual intercourse? Sure. In this department? Not at all.

And really Luminis, are all your comebacks about pointing out the flaws in other things, in stead of the topic on hand?

So, if I'm pointing out the flaws in the points you initially brought up, and that doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand, what does that make your points, then?

Also, stereotype much?

Now I'm too lazy to go around quoting everyone saying, "stereotype".

Thing is, it's not a stereotype it's the truth.

I went biking once and I stumbled on a gay parade, with a bunch of naked women in full body fishnet stockings and a bunch of gay naked guys rolling around in whip cream...

Tell someone else it's "A Family Event".

So you can 100% guarantee that every single gay person indulges in that practice?

If not then it's exactly that, a stereotype.

Simply because a percentage (normally small) of any group indulges in a certain activity, does not mean that all of them do.

To pick an example from your current avatar, does this mean that I am free to state that all cyclists engage in drug-use? After all a number of them have been found to do so (and for quite a while), must mean they are all at it.

Listen, I'm fine with it, as long as it's not presented in the way I've seen it.

Not a problem with that, however that's quite different from your "Thing is, it's not a stereotype it's the truth." comment.

I don't know, but why is it so talked about, I mean I honestly don't care if people were same sex, or having intercourse with chickens (or maybe I do mind about the chicken bit). But never the less, I don't need to know or care about people with the same sex having sex. I mean radio, TV, all alike won't shut up about it. If you're going to do it do it, it's not my business it's yours.

Also, all this gay pride is unnecessary because if the people who are gay don't want others disliking them, don't go around in a pink float with your wiener hanging out through a leather thing. Keep it in your pants.

This is one reason I don't like it. I'm fine with it if you're not extreme about it but c'mon! WTF! What's with the extreme pink? What's with Pride parades?

Ever been to a political rally? They all have their fringe members that show up to every single event and come off making everyone involved look crazy. Most recently the Tea Party has fallen into this. Most gay people I know have never been to an event of that nature, but have marched in protest, made their voice known through art (painting and writing), or written letters to their local paper.

I'm straight and we don't have a straight pride parade where everyone is naked? What gives?

Ever heard of The Naked Mile? And honestly, what you describe sounds like the kind of party I would have loved to attend in college.

you know how a lot of guys 'show off' to attract women? Well maybe gay guys have to 'show off' to attract other gay guys.

Obnoxious is obnoxious, no matter your gender. And I doubt the pride parades he is describing are an ideal pick-up spot. But then I wouldn't know, not having a similar event to participate in.

They do it because its a problem that needs to be fixed. If they didn't say anything or do anything no one would care and they would continue having less rights. Who the **** cares if they were pink, who cares if there are parades. They aren't forcing you to go.

He does have a bit of a point though. If you want people to accept you don't play up the stereotypes. That won't change any minds, in fact it hardens them. Similarly, gun rights supporters probably shouldn't show up looking like the artillery supply man from a war movie. And progressive liberals shouldn't appear unbathed, reeking of pot, and wearing a Che Guevara shirt.

If you wish to bring about change then you need to present yourself as much like your opponents as possible without stopping being yourself.

To be honest with you guys, I take advice from gay men on how to dress.

Considering how most girls think about the appearence of gay guys, that's probably a very clever thing to do...

It's satirical (meaning it's not real and for entertainment only). You'll notice that most of the people who replied to my article on here were expressing laughter and approval.

12 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should be Illegal

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can’t legally get married because the world needs more children.
3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are property, blacks can’t marry whites, and divorce is illegal.
6. Gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why there is only one religion in the world.
8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
10. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven’t adapted to things like cars or longer life-spans.
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a “separate but equal” institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

Old list is old.

 

[Akira AC]

^^ So many flaws in that list that makes it quite laughable

Anyway,this demonstrates that the common perception of homosexuals is the "stereotype" settled by the gay festivals and parades, the real relationship between homosexual couples is very different from what most people think, and homosexual behaviour is not the common parade behaviour that people have establish, apart from that, a large percentage of homosexuals stays "behind the closet" or they don't express their homosexualism like the trans-thing guys.

Apart from that,god, or any religion considerations for legal matters in most of the countries are invalid, there is this thing called "civilian marriage" in which both parties have the right of live together and share their possessions, there isn't any flaws on this and there is not too much differentiations from legal contracts, or legal bisexual unions, so, there is no problem.

What I see is that the perception towards homosexuality is based on environmental conditions and surrounding influences, for example, someone who lives in a heavily influenced environment in which a large percent of the population that follows a common believe and culture will obviously follows these opinions and reject any kind of different approach to a subject, which I'm afraid, is the case on a large percent of the population.

Also,I'm not gay but I know plenty of people who is(I work in an company that makes web hosting services and data bases management),and the common sense is that they are just work-partners or clients, nothing else, at first glance they seem like normal accountants ,and its because they are, sexual tendencies doesn't have any effect on people's actions, or working schedules or effect or relationships(unless you don't know), my point is, live and let live, like everyone does everywhere(Also there is a couple of human rights that I like to share: Freedom To think freely and Freedom To pursue happiness).

And my personal opinion(not affirmation) to anti-homosexual parties is the same definition of the most popular national party in Germany back in 1939.

I dont mind homosexuals, if they want to do stuff, then its their business. I cant see how any one can be harmed by that. But if we are talking about religious views, then its different.

I do believe homosexuality is a part of the eco system some how, because all creatures can be gay, and homosexuality have existed since the beggining.

Its the mentality that matters, not ones sexuality.

Second, i do not mind homos marrying, but not in the church, since the christianity condems homosexuality from the first beggining. So that is messed up.

Third, your very own ancestors and empirors from europe was highly homosexual, both the greeks and romans was very fond of young boys. So theres a very big chanse, that you have, or had relatives that was gay. Does it matter....well no. I dont know any homosexuals, but if i did, i wouldnt treat them different.

Apart from offending them by calling them 'homos'

One thing I don't get, you live in Sweden and don't know any homosexuals? I'll tell you the same thing I told a friend who said the same thing to me: there are very big closets where you live.

Probably not direct descendants though, since relationships like that tend not to bear fruit...

I'm just letting it go as a language barrier issue.

You are assuming they only ever went one way. Elton John has kids and one of my friend's mom is a lesbian.
