I'm in the same boat as he is - I don't agree with the gay lifestyle, but I don't condem them for choosing to live like that. I didn't see Ronstang sh!tting on gays anywhere in this thread. All he has said is that he doesn't agree with their lifestyle.

It's not about choices and decisions. People don't 'choose' to be gay.

So, you know this from experience? ;) You can justify things all you want but it isn't going to change the way a lot of people feel. Choice or not I do not agree with it and I cannot condone it. I don't treat gay people any different than anyone else but I also don't go out of my way to make friends with them....we just aren't going to have much in common. And as far as some of the quick shooters thnking I'm intolerant then let me clue you in.....a friend of mine (male) who I have known for 25 years informed me last year that he suffered from gender identity crisis and was going to have a sex change operation. I am the ONLY person in her life that she knew before this revelation that has not desserted her....yuck, that still sounds wierd. I admit that I do not spend much time with her anymore but that drifting apart happened way before I knew anything was going on.

Am I the only gay insomniac here?

I don't really remember if it was a choice or not.... It was so long ago (I was like 14) and in between now and then there's just so many lies and stories, things that I wish were true... Obviously I made a decision one night to make a move on my buddy, but the real question is, would have (or could I) have done the same with a girl. I say no, seeing as how I've never had any sexual contact with a girl.

BTW the fact that you even mention that I'm gay shows a complete lack of disrespect, too. That is a faulty assumption based upon the fact that if I don't hate em, I'm with em. That shows, once again, that you can't quite understand the concept of supporting a just cause, for the reason that it is a just cause.
I didn't mention that you were gay....last time I checked you can asspoke a girl too.....someone seems a little oversensitive. I am joking and you are getting upset, please take a Midol.

You called me an asspoker in a gay thread after I said a pro-gay remark. You knew what you meant.
Actually I said it that way for a reason....I KNEW you would immediately think I was calling you gay but that is not the truth, you simply took the bait like I knew you would.


You two should just screw and get it over with.

:D

Which menu he chooses from might be under question but mine is not.....I happen to like girls so your idea is not plausible.

I know. I thought that too. But I just replied with a roll; than anything else because it summarized everything about his opinions in this thread with just six characters. That's efficiency.

I'm doing both at the same time. I have an attention span of a 3 year old.

Only reason I'm up is my damn fire alarm started malfunctioning in the middle of the night. Not conducive to sleep. :D
