Don't you love how people like to brand like that?



I want my own parade, dammit. I don't see why they get one when there are plenty of parade jobs at Disneyland that are more than suitable, plus they get paid. ;)

I'm just teasing you. I wouldn't call myself any of those things either. But I really hope you don't consider oral sex abnormal.

I think that the gay community in madison as a whole has come to terms with who they are & are just trying to get along like everyone else. If you think that is flaunting, then all I can say is perhaps you are thinking along the lines of the grass is always greener in someone else's lawn...

and I just wanted to say that the funniest thing I've read all day was the reply in this thread suggesting that there be more 'hetero' pride/activities, esp. in this town with the bars stretching from the capital to campus on state st. (everyone come visit madison at least once in the summer time or early fall, unique place)//

always nice to see madison represented in this forum

I'm guessing that you talking about my post, but you didn't read it very carefully if you came away thinking that I'm suggesting more hetero pride activities. I cited mainstream activities because they are what proponents ( as beatniks3 implied above ) of the 10% community say are inherently hetero sexual. While that may be true, it's not as those the bars advertise as themselves as heterosexual, not homsexual venues, except strip clubs and other places of that sort. Granted there are more bars where there are heterosexuals, but that would stand to follow if it's a 90/10 split, wouldn't it?

My problem is that you can't have CO-ed rooming due to possible sexual intercourse/harrassment. However, if you are rooming with someone gay, you're not allowed to request seperate housing. Double Standard? Umm... yes.

As my personal opinion on homosexuality. I think it's something wrong with the brain. Just like some people are born mentally challenged, without arms, and other types of genetic defects, homosexuality is like that too. HOWEVER, even though I believe that homosexuality is not a norm (biologically only man and woman can reproduce), I do believe that in every other respect, other than their choice of partners, they are exactly capable, both mentally and physically as any straight person. So whilest I think that homosexuality is not normal, I do not have any problem with homosexuals and thus consider homosexuals as equals in every other respect; whether the homosexual is an asshole or a nice person, homosexuality has no bearing on that.
