Yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't bash them or hate them. But why don't you go join their parades or something. Show that you can back them up rather than take a stand at a forum where everyone is pretty much hiding behind a computer screen. You know what I'm saying? Join their escapade, help them out. Back them up even further than you're doing now. That is what it's all about.

Why should I? I can't support them in a forum (whereas others are free to bash them)? I'm not a gay-activist or anything like that. I support their rights, but I have other more important things on my mind. Besides, we have no gay-parades here. But if asked in public, I will repeat what I have said in this thread.

Huh???

Yay!

My anus is bleeding!

Hmm, you mis-quoted me. Try again.

I deliberately misquoted you. The last word in your entire post made me think of that movie... but hey.

I love the choice argument.

Lets say black people had a choice to be white so instead of accepting black people, we still persecuted them. So basically you are born black and choose to be white simply to blend in. Because you know, if you were to choose to stay black, you would get persecuted. Now does that make the persecution ok since the choice is there to hide who you truly are?

Then how come the same logic applies to gays and makes sense. Many gay people have to hide who they are and live in pain simply for fear of what would happen should they reveal what they truly are.

I don't read the paper, so I don't really care whether those announcements are in there. Just felt like responding on choice since it was brought up a lot the first page. I still can't understand the logic, because no one can prove to me that it is even an actual choice (like an example, I love girl#1 and guy#1 and I chose guy#1).
 
i love the logic of people that think its a choice. they must be basing it on personal experience that they could possibly choose who they could love, that they could choose which sex turned them on.


it does kinda work out in studies, homophobes respond more to homosexual pr0n then normal people🙂.


its fundamental logic some people are completely blind to.

i guess they never experienced crushes as little children, so young they didn't know what to do about it. i pity them.

Los Angeles, California) A chain of mid sized newspapers has become the first publisher to order all of its papers to print gay and lesbian commitment announcements. Freedom Communications Inc began the announcements in its flagship paper, "The Orange County [Calif.] Register," and this week extended the policy to all its papers. The company owns more than thirty newspapers in 11 states, including "The [Alton, Ill.] Telegraph," the "Brownsville [Texas] Herald," and "The [Panama City, Fla.] News Herald." "This is another huge step for gay and lesbian couples," said Joan M. Garry, executive director for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). link 🙂 Another step in the right direction...equality.

Horrible. I know what newspapers I'm not buying.



Why? Does the prospect of other people announcing their love take anything away from you?

Bad argument

EXACTY, and there is all it is to it, gay, lesbian, black, white, brown, red... whatever... the same rights apply to EVERYONE...


This is why:

A person has no CHOICE in being born of a particular race. A person does have a choice in who he/she has sex with. There are a few people who feel that they are "born into the wrong body", but they are called "transexuals" and are many times NOT gay (of course some are buy many are not!) So it is not the same.

but you just HAD to tell ATOT?

I am writing on the subject, and you don't know me. 😉

No, thankfully i don't...

Normally I'd stay out of a thread like this and just keep to the beer&music threads, but AZGamer, I just have to ask... Wouldn't your attitude towards everything non-christian make you no better than Usama & his boys? Seems pretty similar to me, only different religions.

Islam is a violent religion overall.

Christianity is a peaceful religion, and is what America is based on.

Yes, the crusades were people telling other people to please read the good book...

Throughout history, christianity has been the most violent religion of all...

Read Mein Kampf by Hitler, he states that what he did was gods will, and he meant the christian god...

Read the old testament, peaceful? you have got to be kidding...

It's all about Reaction Formation, which is one of Freud's defence mehanisms. Sometimes when someone is part of something they attack it and act in the opposite way than they really are, without there own knowledge. AZGamer just may be homosexual, well according to Freud's theory.
 
I assume that you realize that oral sex is part of sodomy? and that you are going to have an unhappy gf...

NEWSFLASH

Not all women need oral sex to have an orgasm. I don't!:Q So sodomy should not be necessary to fulfull the needs of a women.

And let's remove gay (which use to mean happy), queer and lesbian from the dictionary as it relates to homosexuality. If you engage in sex with the same gender as yourself it is called "HOMOSEXUALITY" and you are a "HOMOSEXUAL"! If it is not shameful or wrong or against he laws of GOD (no Jesus for me) then don't makeup words to make it sound pretty or exotic. Call a spade a spade, and be proud!

Yeah, ok, you sure do spend a lot of time or should I say wasting your time backing up gays and lesbians. This is ONLY a forum! Nobody's opinion, or anything they say here will make a difference. It's only TEXT! Yay!

Why shouldn't I "back up" gays and lesbians? They are humans after all.

so were nazis

poor ignorant little fool. sodomy has been defined as most any sex act that doesn't produce a child, which would definetly include oral sex. some religious people made such laws because they thought you should only use your dirty bits for making babies. all other contact is fornication.

irrational? yes, kind of like you.

This sais it is if its unnormal. sisnce when is hetero head/eating out un normal?

considered yourself 0wned. cambridge dictionary -sodomy

sodomy
noun
FORMAL OR LAW
the sexual act of putting the penis into a man's or woman's anus

(American law) Sodomy can also be the sexual act of fellatio putting the penis into a person's mouth.



not "normal" traditionally is doing something sexual that will not result in children. putting organs where they were not meant to be. oral is included. mouth is for eating food, not penis u moron.
 
Absolute rubbish! I believe that gays and lesbians should have all the rights and responsibilities as normal Americans and Canadians but as for them getting legal status to marry and adopt children-Forget about it!:disgust:
 
As long as nobody's trying to shove their cocktail sausage up your pooper why on earth do you dudes care so much who does what and with whom? Why not worry about what goes on in your own bedrooms instead?

Because for 99% of these slobbering geeks there is absolutely nothing going on in their bedrooms. Since, as you pointed out in the other thread, we are still in the negotiating phase of getting them some kind of sex, they have nothing better to do than worry about what someone else is doing.
