Say NO to Homophobia

You notice that homosexuals actually seem more excepting of society? I think they're cool! They were brave enough to tell the world that they were gay, so really, I don't think there's anything they can't do. :D
 
I really don't believe most of what is in the Christian bible. the whole going to hell thing pisses me off because in one moment God forgives but in the next if you do this or are this you are going to hell. I am not gay by any means but have known people who are and they are the same as everyone else, they have feelings too.

We treat murderers better that we do homosexuals. Now is that right? I don't think so. So why do we show compassion to them but not gays.

Has anyone been to the Gay-Parade in Amsterdam (or Berlin last year)??

No, but I really want to one day. I mean, I live a half hour by train away from Amsterdam, so that shouldn't be a problem. :3

Yeah me too.. I can't believe I still haven't gone.. I watch it on TV every year.. and it's only 2 hours from where I live!!

I'd rather burn in hell - hey, I can say that since I don't believe in heaven or hell for that matter anyway - than to pretend I'm someone I'm not!! :D
 
I am marrying into a homophobic family (well you cant help who you fall in love with right, isnt that the whole point), my future brother-in-law refers to transvestite as "cocks in frocks", i think that small things amuse small minds. Well my future husband is more open minded and agrees with me "each to their own" so as long as you are happy then does it matter either way does it? Happiness should be the most important thing, well to me it is anyway.
 
I heard that most people who are homophobic really are gay or bi themselves...is this true do you think? I think that everyone is equal no matter what and that everyone deserves a chance to be happy. 'nough said.
 
I think that homophobia actually stems from ignorance and a fear of things that are different.

Add to that a highly conservative, "family values" oriented platform and voila! You have North America. It just amuses me that somehow all these backstabbing old geezers in the senate and whatnot can have their mistresses, and yet a couple of people who are truly in love can't get legally married?

Pffffft! :rolleyes:

Wake up people: They're here, they're queer and they ain't goin' nowhere! (damn, I wish that rhymed better! :lol: )

:D

Some are, but not all. But those who are in fact gay/bi are just too ashamed. Sigh.

I am bisexual, by the way. But that's only if you have to give it a label. I prefer to think of my sexuality as just being sexuality because it's not like I look for equal numbers of men or women. I like whoever the hell I like. It's not set in stone. Some days I'm more in tune to men, others I'm chasing a girl. Those who think all bisexuals are "50/50" or whatever are wrong.

I'm also a strong Christian. The uber-conservative Christians who use the Bible as a basis should look closer - that'd Old Testament stuff and I'm pretty damn sure it's fixed in the New Testament. If you're going to use the Bible to condemn, it'd be nice if you looked a little closer at it. I grew up knowing God accepts and loves everyone and that includes those of differing orientation.

It'd be nicer if people weren't afraid to love anyone, but so many have it beaten into their heads that you can only love the opposite gender :(

The "funniest" thing about our society is how hypocritical some accepting homophobes are. A common stereotype is that really straight guys LOVE lesbians...but only if they're hot porn star lesbians. Yet they reject gay guys. And while women seem to be "more accepting," I've encountered a lot who, in fact, might love gay men but the thought of a lesbian coming near them makes them cringe.

What a society we live in :lol:
 
It's interesting... I went to Australia for a year and when I'd returned, I found out a friend of mine had "come out". It was really no surprise to me, despite the fact that she had been married.(albeit, she was in the process of getting divorced for reasons other than her sexuality. Her husband was a DICK essentially!)

Anyway, she is fairly new to accepting what she truly is and although she has had a long term relationship with another woman (who I suggested she get rid of because my friend clearly wasn't that into her and was just prolonging the poor woman's agony! :p ) she still has a lot of hang ups about homosexuality.

Seems funny doesn't it? A lesbian who has hang ups about homosexuality. She admits she's known since she was quite young that she was different, but the upbringing she had made her deny it because "It couldn't be true. It's not an acceptable alternative." Those were her exact words to me when she described it. She hates all the "in words" that her former companion used, like referring to her "dyke haircut" and that sort of thing. And it took her a long time to get comfortable just being called a lesbian. I like to tease her and call her my "gay homosexual" friend, and she's finally comfortable enough around it with me to laugh when I use it. But that's not the case with most people she knows and she still feels the need to be secretive about it.

And so, it would KILL me if someone was to treat her negatively or unkind because of her sexual orientation. It's been a slow, uphill battle for her to get into a comfort zone of sorts and I would definitely feel the urge to beat the hell out of anyone who caused her any more insecurities. Because she's an amazing person and a great friend. And that's all that matters. :)

Live and let live, I say. ;) (Except the homophobics- death to the homophobics! :lol: I'm just kidding... mostly. ;) )
 
I have no problem with gay or bi people. It's my personal belief that people should just accept others for who they are. Unfortunately, there are always going to be those who can't be accepting of people who are different than they are. Which is sad, because they're missing opportunities to meet some great people.
 
I have NO problem whatsoever with gay/bi/lesbian. It's not hurting anyone. And what's the big deal even if you are? People should just accept others for who they are. I don't understand why BUsh is so against it.
 
I have a teacher, who besides having a funny name (Mr.Burger), he is gay. He's not too bad, but I don't really have him, my friend does. And as much as I've seen him and my friends, I swear, he checks out any guy, even a middle school boy. But hes pretty nice, and, if you were talking to him on the net like you are me, or anyone else, you wouldn't know hes gay!
 
I just noticed this thread, and wanted to say how nice it is to read the messages. I have always liked guys ever since i can remember, and have found myself in a position where I can never do anything about it, and live in a place where it is considered unacceptable and can be dangerous to be 'out'. It certainly would have been easier if i could not have liked men, but i do, and I just wanted to say how nice it is to read all these things on this thread. Sorry if this seemed rambling or didn't make sense.
 
I admire your courage Tommy :).

Well, what about Bi. Hmm, I've got a friend who hit on me once. Didn't know she was a Bi till she told me. Though from the way she dressed, skirts, red blouse and foundation, she seemed like any normal girl. So the reason why she dosen't gawk at guys was made clear. Though, the reason why she hit on me is still left unexplained! :lol:
 
Uhm.. I used to have a crush on this male teacher.. till I found out that he was actually gay :lol: Never told him and now he's a good friend of mine. He was one of the first ones I told and he wasn't surprised at all! So then I just shifted my crush on him to a crush on his female colleague.. and that crush is still there.. :D
