I'm not so sure that it's OK to be gay in this society. I have no problem with it at all...but here in small-town Midwest, homosexuals stay in the closet and aren't socially accepted. Did you ever think they just LOVE someone? Who cares what people do behind closed doors, anyway? OMG, are you for real? Sorry buddy, but you have your facts all wrong. Let me see your statistics, I'm a numbers kind of girl.
We all look for the reasons that the youth of today are the way they are and what part the social and moral degradation of the mainsteam world plays into it. And this topic is just a small part of it. It makes me sad that its some of my peers that are now getting up in age and in government service yet follow the mainstream will of the people. There are very few true rebels in this country today who will openly say fuck the system of government as well as the constitution. As well as ones who will speak there minds and back there thoughts with actions. Have a good night.
Im not sure what he wrote but if youd look for yourself, the huge rise in the spread of aids is with the black male population. These are older stats but look at the stats and keep in mind blacks make up only 11 to 13 percent of the population depending who you ask but yet 43% of the infected are black. And recently I seen it is the black gay male who is the aids demon at this point. AIDS statistics People living with AIDS At the end of 2004, the CDC estimates that 415,193 people were living with AIDS in the USA.1 Of these, 35% were white 43% were black 20% were Hispanic 1% were of other race/ethnicity. Of the adults and adolescents2 with AIDS, 77% were men. Of these men, 58% were men who had sex with men (MSM) 21% were injection drug users (IDU) 11% were exposed through heterosexual contact 8% were both MSM and IDU. Of the 93,566 adult and adolescent women with AIDS, 64% were exposed through heterosexual contact 34% were exposed through injection drug use.
There's been a lot of funny stuff in this thread, but this for some reason made me squirt Dr. Pepper out my nose. It stung bad. But it was worth it F'N hilarious! Thanks, Xac
My bestfriend since childhood is gay.... and it doesn't change the fact that I love her like a sister. She is happy, and kind, and loving and fun. She is one of the best human beings I have ever had the gift of knowing. When she came out to me when we were 19, it didn't phase me at all. Why? Because I love her, as a person... her sexuality does not enter into the picture. Her being gay has never harmed anyone... except maybe herself. Being gay is not easy. It's a much easier life to be straight. If a person could choose to be straight, I am sure that 90% of the gay public would choose to be straight in a heartbeat... if only for ease of living. Much less "judging" going on towards straight people. I agree with DancerAnne... it might be "ok" to be gay in large metropolitan areas, but in small rural areas, it is most definetly NOT ok. You are targeted by the religious right and the more conservative. Basically, the only people who are "ok" with someone being gay in this town are the people who are closeted gays themselves or have close family members/friends who are gay. If you don't know a gay person it is easier to be blindly hateful.
Are you kidding me...? People who discriminate are ignorant assholes. Let people live how they want to live, as long as they aren't harming anyone else. Who the fuck do you think you are to judge someone else's lifestyle?! I can respect your opinion, but have you ever actually sat down and thought about this before? I'm sorry that my life inconveniences you, just try to ignore us fags.
In essence, human civilization as we know it is old enough that all views are borrowed. That is not at all unlike telling you your views are borrowed for accepting it. They may be views borrowed from the gay community or somebody else you know that raised you to be accepting of differences. All views are our own views in my opinion; we simply formulate them based on opinions and concepts passed down to us by others. Now on to the original topic of discussion. I have to admit I never thought these words would come from me, but I agree with peace keeper. I saw the "gay version" of Next one time, and damn near lost my lunch. This is not something we should be pumping into the eyes of our children on afternoon television. Just to be clear on the fact, however, I do not approve of the lesbian version either. I'm not downing gays whatsoever, as I do have homosexual friends, but I do not agree with how being homosexual has become not only acceptable in the mainstream but almost trendy as well.
Why isn't it possible to live by your own rules and let others live by theirs? How is being gay hurting you? I'm not trying to be a prick to you, it is a serious question. How does it affect you?
