A special thanks...

But, my feelings always come full circle when I read posts of other gays and some of you 'breeders' who support our position.

Breeders? Is that all we are seen to you?

"Thank you "Breeders" for your support, now go back to your caves and pop out us the next Oscar Wilde or Michael Stipes."

Are we just stud farm animals?

Has it returned to this?

I guess somebody can't stand a little tongue-in-cheek humor.

Personally, I get my kicks by messing with homophobes.

I just moved to a really conservative Texas town. I get irritated by homophobia too (and here it is rampant). I was considering getting a shirt I saw in the men's section that said "You can be my OTHER girlfriend" and see how they responded to that.

I find things depressing, too. Particularly I lose faith in both man's character and intellectual capacity when I see there are so many who are either too small minded to conceive of the slightest, most remote possibility that someone could come to a different conclusion than them reasonably and without being evil, demonic, hateful monsters that have fangs and bloodshot eyes, looking to torture little babies, etc.; concurrently, they may recognize that inwardly, but are too juvenile to outwardly acknowledge it.

We love ya too
Remember, there is a difference between attacking ideas and attacking people. Am I also supposed to hold back from criticizing racists because they came to a different conclusion? I don't see the difference between homophobia and racism.

Then you probably do not see the difference between physical traits and behavior. As time goes by we see more and more studies finding people with SSA to be capable of inducing change within.

anyone can induce change within... it's the idea they are somehow obligated to by religious morals of other people that is offensive.

 

[Bombila]

Re the use of the term 'breeders' to describe straight people: it is a really offensive term. I understand where it comes from, and the sense of separateness and persecuted minority frustration that spawns the use of it, but I still hate seeing it or hearing it. Besides which, it implies falsely that homosexual people don't have children, which isn't remotely true, but is another bit of propaganda used by the anti-gay brigade.

No, it is you who seem to not be able to see that difference. Being attracted to someone of the same sex instead of the opposite sex is not behavior, no matter how much you try to claim that it is.

Though perhaps since Christianity is something people actively choose (behavior), it should be alright to discriminate against them since they are always free to change religion. If you don't believe this is alright than you appear to be a hypocrite.

Well I'm not really straight OR gay but thank you sooo much for this thread, Mike! I love you, too!

Sure that you don't mean that as time goes by we'll see more and more studies finding that SSA has a biological, and not behavioral, basis?

 

[Ramona]

Leave it to some people to turn such a kind and thoughtful thread into a battleground!

Pat Benatar had it right -- love is a battlefield.

LOL!

LOL!

"Hit me with your best shot!"

I was gonna say that.

Oh well. I'm a real tough cookie
With the long history.

No probs.

 

[Meshavrischika]

yeah... let's turn the "thanks" thread into an 80's music fest. lol.

 

[Maxwell511]

Well maybe "somebody" is just annoyed at the continuous "alien" abductions and forced breeding programs. Those damn g"r"ays.

We have yet to see even one such peer reviewed and published study.

 

[Adivi]

Keep in mind that a change in sexual attraction over time doesn't mean that they intentionally changed it; it's like saying that somebody's hair turned gray as they grew older, therefore they have the ability to change their hair color.

Namaste selfinflickted,

thank you for the post.

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank all of those in the E & M section who support homosexuals and gay rights.

i don't support rights for any particular group.. i support equal rights for all beings. there is no room for equivocation in my estimation nor does there seem to be any logical reason for such a view.

it seems that supporting restricted rights for some humans is immoral and unethical and demonstrates an appalling lack of compassion.

Sometimes, reading gay themed threads on this board can be pretty depressing with some of the more... hateful posters always seeming to voice their opinions the loudest.

that is often the case for bigots, if they can yell loud enough then even those that disagree with them are overwhelmed with the cacophony of vitriol spewing from their virtual mouths.

But, my feelings always come full circle when I read posts of other gays and some of you 'breeders' who support our position. It's really nice to know that some of you are on our side and to you all I give a great, big....

well... it's all selfish on my part... as soon as some groups are not given equal rights then other groups can easily follow and i'm not keen on having my rights taken away or curtailed so i support them for everyone!

not very altruistic of me but there it is.

metta,
