First off: I don't have a real problem with gays, im not gay myself, and dont really care what they think of me.

Why is it that people who dislike gays or talk crap about them are seen bad, while some gay people can talk bad about straight people and totaly get away with it? In my leadership our teacher is a gay male and we have a few gay students in the class, it seems that they can get away with making comments that hate on straight people and whenever straight people say anything about gays they get all up in arms. That kinda confuses me...double standard?

Because it's just harmless joking. They are in no position to oppress anyone, like we are. Same reason women can call men stupid.

Reverse discrimination. Happens sometimes when members of some minority group find themselves in a localized position of security and power.

LMAO. Please people, stop w/ the reverese discrimination comments.

Minorities and gays have absolutely no power to even opress or really do much about anything other than make comments.

Look, I agree that ths somewaht of a double standard, but you gotta realize thats what happens when they are constantly being treated as second class citizens and such. And please, don't kid yourself that discrimination and bigotry doesn't exist anymore.

Stop it you fighting whiteys.

So you haven't heard what gay men say about my clothes?

its like this black lady asking me my name while working at the bar. she says " Is your name Frank, or what about Sal, or how bout Joe, or how bout Vinnie, etc....."

So i said, " is your name Loquisha?"

She was drunk and got mad, but soon forgot. It doesnt work both ways sometimes.
