Bleach Rotting On Here Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 47505 | ..dude, I understand that. and the part that I just narrowed down explains exactly what you just wrote. The rest wasn't exactly going to sum up the whole thing. Why are you making that comment? |
Dr.Hymen Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 192 | I am making that comment in response to your comment, obviously. |
Bleach Rotting On Here Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 47505 | Fionn Og:I know but your response didn't bring a contradiction to what I had said at all. Let's stop talking about this, it's pretty pointless. |
Angelic Fruitcake Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6362 | Bloodraine: Yeah, I see where you're coming from- that's the thing, there's too many people who do believe that for gay behaviour to become acceptable (after all, many of them claim their main reason for being so against it is that it ‘just isn’t natural'), it should be reflected in other animals. Well, whilst the fact that there's gay penguins simply really interests me, I'm willing to bet that it'd aid in convincing a few people that homosexual behaviour isn't that terrible. As you've rightly pointed out, that doesn't really make much sense, but it seems to ring true. Also I reckon if gay behaviour within other mammals is proven, some people might consider this reason to accept it within us humans- simply because of the other characteristics we share. Bloodraine: Mm I saw a bit of that, then BBC cut out halfway through. Might finish watching it at some point. Anything that tells us being gay isn't a choice is brilliant, though. A few months back we were looking at the freewill / determinism debate in psychology and eventually got onto discussing homosexuals; the amount of people who seem to think you just one day wake up and make a conscious decision to be gay is astounding. :/ |
Viva.La.Cami Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 48 | I think that people need to get over it. It's 2009. There will always be homosexual people. My younger brother just came out. I have a few gay friends, and they are thee best. Sure, I kinda had a problem with my brother, but it was mostly because I was worried about him at school. I still love my brother, gay or not, and people need to just deal with it. If it doesn't concern you, don't get in the middle of it. |
Not Alison Basket Case Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 16225 | I think you should be allowed to have emotions for and love whoever the hell you want. Love is a powerful thing and shouldn't be restricted to only male's loving a female or vice versa. |
a3dfan Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: - Gender: - Posts: 5 | If two people love each other - then what is the difference - are they homosexuals or straight? |
Matt Smith Admin Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 | a3dfan: Well, in a word, yes. |
PCG Jackass Age: 29 Gender: Male Posts: 1608 | I was watching Squidbillies a few days ago and the dad's a homophobe, but that's cuz he kept getting buttraped in prison. ... Some people do have a reason. I don't understand homophobia at all. Really, I don't understand how someone could be gay or straight either, because in my opinion we're all people and no one can help who they fall in love with. But they don't understand me 'neither, so it's even. People are who they are and it's no one's fault. The problem here is that people don't understand what's unlike them, fear what they don't understand, and hate what they fear. Even some open-minded people are weirded out by it. Many people these days don't have a problem with it, though, so that's pretty cool. Then there's people I know who say things like, and I quote, "God's mad at us because there are so many blacks and gays," or "People like you are going to be the end of the world." We can't stop 'em. The best anyone can do is hope and try for a better tomorrow. |
Sherlock Holmes Addict Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 10375 | I think that it takes a lot of guts to stand up for your own sexuality. |
stilinski King For A Couple Of Days Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 3581 | Italia Veneziano: I was just thinking that today. I was watching Tyra, and there was a debate with gay rights activists (2 gays and 1 straight) and people who were basically the polar opposite (pro Prop8, and all that). It almost made me feel sick to my stomach to hear what they were saying. |
Tahm York This Board Is My Home Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 31394 | I think everyone has a bit of gay in them. girl or guy. whether they admit it or not. I'm not bisexual, I'm definitely not lesbian, but I do find some girls hot. I know that I'm not the only girl that is like this either. I know guys who have looked at porn, and stared more at the guy than at the girl, which is supposedly "gay", but this guy was dating me at the time, I'm pretty sure he wasn't gay. |
Squid. King For A Couple Of Days Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2940 | It's just a reason for people to hate others. Really. It's just sad. It wont change, and if so, not for a long time. it's just sad :/ |
Sherlock Holmes Addict Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 10375 | SidKnee.: >Made no sense to her<. |
MAD CUNT Basket Case Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 19801 | my dad's a homophobe and he alternates between making crude jokes about homosexuality and making nasty comments. some of the stuff he says makes me incredibly angry and i argue with him about it. i think he thinks i may be a lesbian -__-" his greatest fear is that my brother will come home and announce he's gay. |
Bleach Rotting On Here Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 47505 | Italia Veneziano: No, they don't. It's not okay to hate a group of people because one of those persons hurt the person. For any reason. |
emmers_91 Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 30 | ^^ true its not okay....but you cant force people to not think how they think its like telling a dog not to pant and bark....they can't help it its messed up people can be homophobic, etc. but its something you can't really change people are stubborn in their ways you can change a generations outlook but you can't change stubborn minds you just have to let it be each generation is different |
iViva la Andrea! Geek Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 492 | Bleach: I don't think she was saying some people have an EXCUSE. She was saying some people have a REASON. They can be two different things. For example, let's say you worked in retail, and the first 3 thefts you saw/caught were all white teen girls who fit the "punk" look. Many people, after that, would be more likely to keep an eye on a white teenage girl with dyed hair, piercings, fishnets, etc..., who came into their store than a middle aged black man. That doesn't make it okay to be more suspicious of somebody based on their age, race, style, and gender, but it provides an explanation. Another example: let's say when you were 5 you and your family went on a trip to Boston, or any major city. While waiting for a cab, a black man mugged you and beat up one of or both of your parents. Would that ensure you grew up to be a racist? No. Would it add to the likelihood? Probably. Would it provide an explanation as to why you were racist if you did grow up with heavy racism? Yes. Nobody hates for no reason, the reason, however, is often deep-rooted and completely subconscious. It's not like people wake up one day and decide to become homophobic. It may be how they were raised, it may be a connection to a traumatic event, etc..., Anything can have explanation without being excusable. There is a reason serial killers do what they do. There is a reason rapists do what they do. There is a reason recovered addicts relapse. Does that reason make them acceptable things to do? Of course not. So you're right, it's not okay, but that doesn't mean there's no reason. |
PCG Jackass Age: 29 Gender: Male Posts: 1608 | iViva la Andrea!: That's EXACTLY what I was getting at. Dude, seriously. I couldn't explain it better if I tried. |
Punkmunkey Idiot Age: 35 Gender: Male Posts: 781 | I wonder if I'm still the only gay person here... |
