That's personal and has nothing to do with your sexuality. There are a lot of straights on this forum that aren't liked either, and it seems that you're just doing your part to make sure that gays are represented in that area too. You're basically the gay PAB or gay dmcowen674 is all.[/quote]Originally posted by: Vic

How can you even begin to argue that the US is becoming LESS tolerant of sexual diversity?
Everyone is more aware of homosexuality, people are more accepting of it than ever. There will always be people in the States against this, but the acceptance of it is still increasing.
Enough people have said it in this thread too, we dont hate OP cuz hes a homo, we hate him cuz hes a douche.

I agree. I don't know that people are becoming less tolerant or accepting, but I know a lot of people are becoming sick and tired of hearing about it. If that constitutes less tolerant, so be it. But I agree with sao123 also. The media has been shoving it at people for the last little while and it's becoming annoying. I know it exist, but that doesn't mean I want to hear about it all the time. Cancer exist. Should I want to hear about it all the time?

I've noticed changes in the USA media over the past year. For example the number of drama or comedy programs with openly gay characters has dropped to zero, gay characters have been removed or 'de-gayed' from popular programs such as Heroes, and so on.
There have always been a small number of people in our society who would like to make gay people to shut up completely about their gay lives. Have these people become more influential in the USA over the past year?
Even on this forum, I've noticed recently (the past 1-2 months) that it is impossible to discuss any aspect of my life on this forum that acknowledges the fact that I am a homosexual without attracting an avalanche of criticism from the usual suspects.
I wonder why this is happening.

is your sexuality also a private thing? or is it only gay people who have to stay silent? a very high proportion of the posts here revolve around aspects of sexuality (relationships, dating, sex, whatever).
if you don't care, then why make such a fuss? what you really seem to be saying is "I will continue to talk about my heterosexual life, but gay people shut up"
I would disagree. I feel the same way sao123 feels, but I don't talk about my sex life with pretty much anyone other than my wife (doctor's being a natural exception). My sex life is at home and stays there. I don't care to hear about anyone's sex life, heterosexual or homosexual. I tell people the same thing, "I don't want to hear about it." If you've got some type of problem, talk to a professional. It's not that I'm trying to be rude or sound insensitive, but really. It's between a person and their significant other. No one else needs to be involved.
your response references your heterosexuality - the fact you have a wife. Perhaps you should have carefully removed the pronouns and nouns that reveal the gender of your partner before hitting "post"..? or else you risk appearing hypocrital
Wow... I cant even begin to forumlate a responce to the stupidity in this post...
Yeah his post was really meant to draw attention to the fact that he has a wife...
Congratulations engineereeyore you just "Came out of the closet"...

"I've got friends who like sheep... but they dont have to parade around in the streets, or come out of the closet and announce it..."
YOUR SEXUALITY IS A PRIVATE THING... DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO, JUST SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT IT... NO ONE CARES ANYMORE!!!

Nice trolling there, bud. You know what "just isn't right"? Cowards like you. Wah wah, I don't like gays, they're weird.
You're like a god-damned child.
It's going to be nice when all of the cowards like you die off.
lol! That "small number" of people happen to consistently be a large majority of the public in poll after poll after poll after poll on the subject.Originally posted by: aidanjm
