June is Gay Pride Month!

quatrotritikali · 06-07-08, 07:33 AM

BECAUSE...gay men and lesbians are discriminated against in housing and employment, and
...because how we act is more important than who we are and
...if we get harassed it's our problem and
...if we get attacked we provoked it and
...if we raise our voices we're flaunting ourselves and
...if we enjoy sex we're perverts and
...if we have AIDS we deserve it and
...if we march with pride we're recruiting children and
...if we want or have children we're unfit parents and
...if we stand up for our rights we're overstepping our boundaries and
...because we are forced constantly to question our own worth as human beings and
...if we don't have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex we haven't given it a chance and
...if we have a relationship with someone of the same sex it is not recognized and
...we are told our love is not "real" and
...if we come out of the closet we're just going through a phase and
...because lesbian and gay history is virtually absent from literature and
...because homophobia is sanctioned by the Supreme Court and
...for lots and lots of other reasons,
I AM PART OF THE LESBIAN AND GAY CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

Flamers think every month is gay pride month.

So what does this official decree mean...that your fishnet shirts get used just a little more? Your lipstick get just a little more cherry red? 5 dollar discount for a tune-up and oil change on the Miata?

...if we get harassed it's our problem and
...if we get attacked we provoked it and right.

victim
...if we raise our voices we're flaunting ourselves and no, your just being impolite and in other people's faces when you should just be quite like I do about sexuality.
...if we enjoy sex we're perverts and if you're a pervert, then you're a pervert, stop being a martyr.
...if we have AIDS we deserve it and most poeple don't think like that, don't lump the majority into the KKK skinheads. See, this is the type of **** that bugs people like me, the normal majority of heterosexuals, we don't want you to march with pride and claim it is because you are fighting the idiocy of the KKK and such, but you march in front of me instead of those that need the message. I just want to cross town and go to the store and not have to deal with more traffic and gridlock. Unless you start having your parades so that they are viewed by those that need the lessons best. Go to neo-nazi land and have a parade.
...if we march with pride we're recruiting children and why do you have to march in the first place?
...if we want or have children we're unfit parents and Untrue, all gays with kids that I kow are GREAT parents
...if we stand up for our rights we're overstepping our boundaries and no, but what rights are being oppressed again? Marraige? Aren't there other ways to challenge that law or other laws without parades? Yes.
...because we are forced constantly to question our own worth as human beings and That is your deal, not ours
...if we don't have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex we haven't given it a chance and
...if we have a relationship with someone of the same sex it is not recognized and that sucks, it should
...we are told our love is not "real" and
...if we come out of the closet we're just going through a phase and
...because lesbian and gay history is virtually absent from literature and there is no need to add in that "gee, and Einstein was gay too" is there? WTF does that prove? Nothing. We honor people for what they do, not who they do.
...because homophobia is sanctioned by the Supreme Court and sanctioned? LOL!
...for lots and lots of other reasons,
I AM PART OF THE LESBIAN AND GAY CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. GOOD FOR YOU! SERIOUSLY.

.

... and it is stupid posts like this that do nothing but shove down people's throats that you are gay and gonna shove it down people's throats.
... and we don't give a **** if your gay
... and go be gay and I'll be straight and well both just shut the **** up about it.

Now let all the tens and rivrats have at me. This was just a counterpoint "in your face" about why "in your face" posts and parades are retarded. Paint your pictures instead of dealing with the reality that I am not a bigot, just somebody, like most, that feels that parades and in your face attitudes are actaully more detrimental than good for homosexuals.

I have a lot of gay friends, and most never go to parades, they can't stand the extremism just as I can't.

Yea i kinda know alot of gay people my sisters a dancer and it maybe a stereotype but an overwhelming amout of male dancers at least the ones she knows are gay.However the whole gay pride march thing isnt as big over here(as far as i know) but the point is i often get the idea many gay people like the idea they are discriminated against in an almost sexual way though i have to stress nearly all the gay people i know are kinda super gay.

I don't know, but from what I have heard, most Europeans are more open and accepting of gays than Americans are.

I don't give a **** about the "extremism", it's just that for me a gay pride parade is like a fish celebrating water.

You know, I've never understood that whole "shoving down our throats" argument, (although I suspect that phrase comes from a more homoerotic fear/fantasy). As a straight man myself, I've never felt any announcement of homosexuality nor the desire for equal rights to be any kind of enforcement on me. Why do you?
