I didn't exactly read this entire thread, only up to the 2nd page, so if I am repeating what some of you guys said, then I apologize. Anyway, here are my thoughts:
It's not wrong to be gay, les., or bisexual or whatever. They are still normal human beings, so they should just be treated just the same. The only difference is that they like guys or girls or both. I don't have a problem against them; it actually saddens me when I read stories of people getting killed just for being gay or a lesbian. Calling them f*gs is also inappropriate too and very immature and just proves that you're ignorant. They were just born that way and it's their nature and no one can change that. If you don't accept it, that's fine and if you do, then hey, cool.
I also agree with some of you that gays or lesbians show their "pride" too much though. I mean.....I don't have a problem with the Gay Parade, but here are my thoughts on why I think gays and lesbians try their very best to express themselves:
It's because of ignorant people who can't accept them for who they are, which is why they try so hard and why they have parades to show their pride and all. They just want to make sure that everyone knows that they are the way they are and that they're proud of it. Sure, I know that some of you guys say that "Okay, so you're gay, there's no need to keep showing off you're pride" but in their case, it's not so and it's all because of ignorant and discriminatory people who think it's wrong. If everyone could just understand that they are the way they are.....then they just might lighten up on the "pride" thing.
As for me, I don't have a problem with them at all, though sometimes when I know they are gay, lesbian, or bisexual I get a little uncomfortable, but that's because it's just something that I'm not used to. In my mind, I'm just thinking "Oh wow...this person is "gay, les. or bi"' but in reality.....I don't care. I'm totally cool with them being whoever they are. However, if they keep pushing it (like making out with their significant other almost ALL the time just to prove it again and again) then I would get slightly annoyed. If I were to have a friend, I would like to have a gay friend more than a lesbian friend. Here's why:
Gay guys are just more better to talk with because they're not as uptight as lesbians. What I mean is....when you encounter a lesbian, they really do try so hard to prove that they like chicks and all men suck. I mean, there are a few lesbians who come into the place where I work and they all have that "Women Rule" vibe. It's annoying. While on the other hand, there's this gay guy who comes in and yes, he will beat you to a pulp if you offend him but otherwise, he's intellectual and kinda open to talk with. He's more of the "male" counterpart in the relationship, if you guys know what I mean. But, yeah.....in the end, there's nothing wrong with gays, lesbians, or bisexuals and though you don't have to accept them for what they are...they're still human and they can't change the way they are, no matter how much you force them.
EDIT: I had just finished reading every page and I have to say: I'm quite furious. I usually don't like to get mad, but after what that Lava guy has to say.....damn, I'm quite pissed. Look...I see his point, but s/he doesn't understand that they cannot change who they are....it's not a choice! If it was a damn choice, then why do so many people suffer when they are gay and do not want to be gay to be considered "normal", but end up to still being gay? It's not because they're not "strong enough" to change themselves...it's because they can't. I'm tired right now and getting cranky, so I'd better stop.
