Being gay is not a choice, its not like I woke up one morning and thought "geeze, how can I piss off my parents, possibly alienate my friends, and increase the amount of difficulty in my life?"

The only choice I have in being gay is - do I live an open and honest life? Or, do I lie to

- my friends
- my family
- my co-workers
- my lovers
- my children

And try to live the 'straight' life and date women, get married and have children? That is one pretty big deceptive life to live, and one that could possibly ruin a family if your dirty little secret ever came out.

If there has been any lesson that my parents have taught me, its to be : Honest, Open and Respectful, and to lie about being gay is to go against the biggest things my parents have EVER taught me, and that is far more disrespectful than being gay.


I've tried being with girls - tried dating them, tried having sex, I've made out with plenty of them - and every time, there is just that 'something' thats not there, that doesn't feel right/natural for me. Yeah, at the end of the day I suppose I could *FORCE* it, but that is not a healthy or honest way to live my life. It lacks that spark, that click, that undefinable feeling in my chest that I get when I'm with another man.

Now personally, I think that its Bullshit that the kid got suspended, he had every right to wear that straight sticker, and think that the school was in the wrong for suspending him.

Who the fuck cares if he wants to wear a sticker like that. It's not like he said "Kill gays" or something ridiculous like that.
He was merely voicing his disagreement with the school sponnsoring the event. Just because I think the day shouldn't be supported by public schools doesn't mean I hate gay people. Those wishing to censor religious views are being completely hypocritical. People have made the line between expressing beliefs and offensive bigotry way too thin.

Right, because in the 21st century in post-industrial America (or anywhere in the world, at any time period, for that matter) the number one purpose of sentient, sapient human beings is reproduction, and our society is structured in such a way that keeping a "bloodline" alive is important. :rolleyes:

We will never be free from racism and sexual-orientation-ism as long as we continue to acknowledge their existance. Dedicating a day to gay rights is almost as damaging as punishing this student for expressing his opinion. We should completely and utterly legalize gay marriage, grant homosexuals the same priveleges that everyone else has, and move on, allowing intolerant people to protest, and ignoring them.

Maybe he was gay and he thought the sticker would change that.

this is a bit off topic, but what the hell:

Quote:

The AFA (American Family Association) is expecting
an overwhelming majority of respondents to say that they would be

'less likely'

to do business with a company if they knew it supported the
"homosexual agenda" - whatever that is. So far, they are getting the
results they seek. Of course, they are only sending it where they will
get the expected results.

Let's change the outcome by completing the 1-question survey and
sending
it to everyone we know who is tired of this archaic and hateful way of
thinking.

Follow the link below to take action on this important issue. Go to and
pass it on

http://www.afa.net/petitions/businesses/businesses.asp

I have no idea as to how the AFA plans to use this survey,
but rest assured that it won't be for good. It takes 1 second to fill out..




only takes like a minute for real.

I don't get the whole concept of "gay pride." What the fuck is there to be so proud of?




You go tell your family, friends, classmates/coworkers that you're gay. Kiss your boyfriend farewell in public. Being openly gay, the way God intended us to be, in most societies takes quite some courage nowadays. Wherever the Christians went in the world, they took their hate with them. Were it not for the historic influence of christianity and islam, most of the world's cultures would stand fairly neutral towards homosexuality. But then again, ere it not for the historic influence of christianity and islam, most of the world's cultures would still exist.


Quote:

To love in a way which comes natural :heart:

Quote:

Thats rather sad if you believe that. Procreation is important, but it is not the be-all, end-all of the human experience. Surely individuals can be of more use to the species than merely breeding?

Quote:

If all your family stands for is bigotry and intolerance then they should be disrespected. But what kind of deranged notion is it that being gay disrespects your parents and forefathers?

Quote:

If you're so DNA minded: chances are good that all the genes that can be found in you can be found in people who haven't had sex with your family for thousands of years.

Some people don't procreate. This can be due to choice, celibacy, homosexuality, sterility or a myriad of reasons. And this is how it should be. This is OK. Nature works fine the way it is. If you look at how many species have homosexual behaviors among them, then it should become patently clear to you that mother nature explicitly wants homosexuals to exist. Perhaps a hundred million years from now you have three genders, a third gender which extracts the sperm and the egg from the man and woman, inserts a gene packet and hatches babies for the three of them. Who knows, but in this stage of evolution it is very clear that there should be homosexuality.

I agree they shouldn't have suspended the kid, but what's funny is the christian/jewish homophobia comes from the bible story of sodom and gomorah.  You know, the one where lot's wife was turned to a pillar of salt because she turned around to look while 'god' was destroying every man, woman and child in the city. . .

The contradiction here is that homosexuality was condemned to the point of mass murder, but later on, when lot got drunk and fucked his two daughters, getting both pregnant, all was ok.  No condemnation for incest.  In fact, the bible says it was all the little girls fault for getting their daddy drunk and seducing him...Yea right. :shrug:

Homosexuality helps us decide who we will kill first when we realize the cold truth that over-population brings. Basicly, Homosexuals are mother nature's answer to over-population. It's kind of funny when you think about it because most straight people don't like to admit that the gays will one day save the planet.

I think that's going a bit too far. The majority of people aren't homosexual, and if *killing people* to reduce population ever comes up at all, I doubt who lives and who dies will be deliniated according to sexual orientation. And even then, it won't be explicitly the heterosexuals who are singled out for killing [just because they're straight] or the homosexuals spared.

I think gay people are the answer to over-population there pretty much the only people that don't breed.
