I thought the biggest advantage of the internet was that you could discriminate against whomever you wanted.

I'm sorry to tell you, but comparing homosexuals to blacks, Asians and people with disabilities is just plain stupid. Gays ARE NOT a different nationality, a minority or a different race.

All this 'protection' for the gay community...give me a ****** break. You make a choice to be a rug muncher or a noodle nuzzler and all of a sudden you want minority status. No one offers minority status for white guys who decide to be with a black woman or an asian woman who decides to be with a black guy or a European guy who decides to be with a latino woman. The race, gender, creed, et al of the person you decide to engage is sexual activity SHOULD NOT entitle you to 'minority' or 'protected' status.

I am way too tired this morning to type out an eloquent explanation of why you are a moron so... <^>

Ignorant? For not thinking homosexuals should have minority status? Give me a break. By your thinking, everyone who is not white, not in a heterosexual relationship should have minority status. Don't get mad at me because I don't go, "Oh, poor poor gay person. Did you get discriminated against again?"

Like the poster said above...rather than suing and crying because someone wouldn't let them play on eHarmony, they should have started their own website. Gain a ****** backbone and quit whining about people discriminating against you. Everyone gets discriminated against because of something. It's how you deal with it that makes all the difference in the world.

Now go hold hands with all the people who have got their feelings hurt and sing Kumbaya (sp?).

AT moderators discriminate against some of us regularly. They often remind us that this is a private forum and that THEY make the rules.

Has AT or any Mod been sued for discrimination yet?

I would be curious to find out.

You are entitled to your opinion. It's the way you write it down that seems offensive to some.

no, its the fact that he thinks homosexuality is a choice...and gay dudes go, "you know, i think i want to suck some cock from now." It much more complicated than that...he should either read up on it or shut the fvck up.

Perhaps you should do the same with the Constitution.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

But reality and actually thinking about things like that are so burdensome to a mind used to simple explanations.

Whenever someone says being gay is a choice I tell them if that is so then they should be able to flick a switch and be attracted to the same sex right that instant. Once the total absurdity of that position is revealed they usually fall back on religion/the bible.

I didn't read the whole thread but it seems some of you are getting really worked up over someone who's just doing it for the money, and also likely, attention.

Meh, there are already a significant number of site exclusively dedicated to gay personals/dating.

Craigslist?

Nah....CL is a hookup zone

Most of the mainstream personals services have same sex options, plus a few sites dedicated to it.

How do you know they're wrong? Because it goes against what you BELIEVE? There is no scientific proof that homosexuality is biological. If it were wouldn't the Homogenus be bred out since gays can't reproduce with other gays?

Wanting to stick your dick in someones poop hole is a choice. By saying that gay is genetic, then why isn't pedophilia genetic? And if it's genetic then pederasses should go to jail for screwing little kids, hey it's genetic, they can't help it.

Oh, you're allowed to tell him.

You're just not allowed to force him to stop talking.

Or decide what's "right" and "wrong" with someone's opinion.

I think being gay is part of evolution. It keeps lessor humans for reproducing. Males who are gay are rarely the kind of genetics that nature would want passed down.
