The whole point is, some gay people feel the need to re-iterate that they were born gay. Black people don't feel the need to do that, as that is completely indisputable. I'm not being condescending towards gay people when I say I believe they were born gay, and I'm sure most gay people wouldn't see it as being condescending either. Like I said earlier, it all depends on how you want to take it.
I assume that everyone is a guy until I see a timestamped picture. What have imageboards done to me...
Sexual orientation is not relevant to race, I don't see how the two are compared. The color of your skin tells us where your ancestors were born.....who you sleep with tells us what turns you on.
Methinks It's Because Your Posts Are So Strong And Manly, And With Just A Touch Of Body Hair.... In My Opinion Your Most Likely To Be A "Butch Lesbian ".... Lets See What Your Reply Is To That.... Cheers Glen.
I have noticed that most people online, if their gender is unknown, they will almost always be assumed to be male. Why that is, I don't know. But it does seem way more common to assume that a person online who you don't know is male, than the other way around.
If my opinions become popular then I will question my existence.....people are stupid and i don't care what they say is "popular" I think what I think
Yep, I'm sure that's exactly why it is. Probably also the strong smell of Brut emanating from my internet waves... haha I guess I'd be considered a tomboy, but I'm neither a lesbian or butch. lol xD
Not at all. You said it was being condescending. All I did was point why that isn't (at least not as a general rule) the case.
I provided specific examples of where the phrasing of 'they were born this way' sounded condescending. You're arguing it isn't condescending because gay people are born gay. You missed the point I was making.
I think we've simply got our wires crossed here. lol I think it can be both used and taken in a condescending way. All I was trying to say is that the phrase "they are born that way" is not in and of itself a condescending term. It certainly can be, but it's more the context that the phrase is used in, and the intention of the person that says it that can change it into a condescending term. Rather than it automatically being condescending in itself.
I've been called a "republican hippy." I think that's pretty unpopular Side note: I'm not republican, but I lean right
