Didnt we just had a thread about gays?

Platapus · 08-16-09, 07:48 AM

Perhaps because gays are people too?

It is inappropriate to characterize all Homosexuals as if they all act/think exactly alike. Just as it would be inappropriate to characterize all Heterosexuals as if they all act/think alike.

There are Homosexuals that engage in PDA just as there are Heterosexuals who engage in PDA. There are Homosexuals that do not engage in PDA just as there are Heterosexuals who do no engage in PDA.

Perhaps some people only notice it more when it involves Homosexuals?

Me I could care less, I see far more heterosexual kids doing the exact same things you described.

As for why homosexuals like to draw attention to themselves, well for one thing they as a group have long been forced to remain completely hidden from public sight or risk serious criminal charges or worse. Also I think some of them are going for the whole desensitization thing so that we won't pay them any more mind then we do anyone else showing affection in public.

As for your encounter with the 2 lesbian girls, you obviously made it apparent to them that you were uncomfortable with them and they decided to mess with that. But I've seen heterosexuals do the same thing too with people who are uncomfortable with their public affection.

It's also quite obvious that you in fact do give a **** since you started this thread.

Last the two gay males only shared a kiss they were not "dry humping" or even making out in public.

your right... i should have chosen my words more carefully.

but i suppose that the "shock value" thing is true.

there is a certain young segment of the gay population that seems to go out of their way to make everyone aware of their "orientation".

it would be akin to me running around to strangers talking to them about how much i like women.

or going all over town making out with my wife in an over the top attention getting way.

its tacky and its something i dont engage in.

again, you are right and i agree completely... however i live in a part of the country where you don't see a lot of either group engaging in it thankfully. perhaps in "these parts" people of either orientation have better manners.

dont get me wrong... i have openly gay friends... one of which lives in another part of the country now. he laid on the hood of his car in the bar side of town while a couple of his male friends pretended to perform sex acts on him...

i was like dude... thats completely innapropriate and over the top dont you think?

his response was

"just representing."

(a term i would never use, but then again...he is quite a bit younger than I)

What's with the needless stereotyping?

Grouping people is useless. If they have similarities they also have differences. Did they hurt anything besides your preconceived notion about how things are supposed to be? Then leave them be because that's what America is about.

Where is it in the bible that says homosexuality is immoral? I don't know the book very well and I'm curious the wording that's used.

It's in Leviticus someplace.

Is that old testament or new?

as i said... i should have chosen my words more carefully.

im mainly referring to these guys in the article linked in the original post.

why have an event and go out of their way to offend a religious group who is equally entitled to their opinion?

LobsterBoy · 08-16-09, 10:56 AM

I believe it's a protest against a religious group that gays believe treat them as less than equal.
