So before quoting the bible to bash gays maybe we should ask how many live by these standards.

The only thing clear to me is what I knew all along, the old testament was written by self righteous old men.

Just like me, as a straight man- if I had some type of sexual fetish for bondage, scat, feet, role playing, WHATEVER. A couple's private sexual preferences should not be a matter of public debate. Keep it at home, private, discreet, whatever. Don't make it a mainstream issue to the point where my 4 year old kids are asking me shit about what "gay" means or how two women or two men are able to copulate. Little kids should be thinking about what video game they want for their birthday, what new cool R/C car or boat they like. Who their favorite power ranger is........not how two people of the same sex can have relations.

One of the most asinine posts I've ever read.

The humor of it:

You start it off by saying you "don't care". Then follow that sentence by revealing you "care" about as much as Fred Phelps.

First off, could you define "mainstream"? Is there an election that decides what is mainstream?

Now, as far as gays "pushing" their lifestyle on the mainstream (again, whatever that is). Which gays are doing this, and how so?

In regards to them "pushing" it to your kids...Dude, your kids are YOUR responsibility. How they react to whatever it is they see is not the responsibility of two gay men walking down the street holding hands. Your kids don't get it? Tough shit. They're going to see a lot of things they don't get, and ask you a lot of questions. If you don't like it, put them up for adoption and get a vasectomy. Not everyone's cut out to be a parent, rather they're too lazy to work or too lazy to explain the fucking birds and bees to their kids when they start asking questions, questions usually triggered by the sight of men and women palming each others' asses right on the A train at 5 o clock.

One last thought: Could your comparing homosexuality to a simple fetish reveal to us that you've experienced gay feelings at one time or another?

Wow, that's pretty harsh. I agree with his statement: Gay, straight whatever. Do whatever the hell you want to do in your own bedroom. I don't want to see gay or straight couples making out in public.

I do agree with your stance about taking responsibility for your kids -not sure how you can come to the conclusion that he's not based on his post though.

Yet, you find nothing harsh about someone chalking homosexuality up to being a freaky "fetish" that needs to be kept out of sight of children?

I agree with his statement: [i]Gay, straight whatever. Do whatever the hell you want to do in your own bedroom.

Yet neither of you define where you draw the line. Two people, gay or straight, outright fucking in public? Agreed. Well, actually, I wouldn't mind. But it may not be for a kid to see. But holding hands? Grow up.

I don't want to see gay or straight couples making out in public.

Even if you were telling the truth, too fucking bad.

He wants gay people to stop showing affection for each other in public because he doesn't want to have to "answer questions" from his kids as to why they're doing it. That has lazy parenting written all over it.

You need to calm down dude, you're way too defensive. He was just talking about people keeping their personal sexual life, personal.

I don't need to define any line. Where did anyone talking about holding hands? Why do you need to assume what someone else is thinking to make your point? Because you're being an over-sensitive prick who's looking to pick a fight - you're the one that needs to grow up.

Even if you were telling the truth, too fucking bad.

I don't give a shit if you believe me or not, but too fucking bad that you're such a moron.

I've held off, but I have to say that the very title of this thread offends me. You might as well say "how do people feel about blacks in their community", "how do people feel about jews in their community" as if somehow jews, blacks or gays are not people. Sociologically speaking we are all members of subcultures, (I'm sure that is an antiquated term), in order for parents not to worry about questions from their 4 year olds: How about a little recognition of a person's humanity before you label and group.




And judge.

And, you need to learn how to read. He compared homosexuality to a sexual fetish, which is absurd and should be confronted. You should be telling him to calm down. But instead you're telling the person confronting his ignorance to calm down, which tells me you're here to help him spread the same hate. Considering that, both of YOU calm the fuck down. People are straight, people are bi, people are gay. Sometimes, they're going to show affection in public, and only a stupid prude who's social values are stuck in a time far removed would whine about it.

Look you dumb ass, review the thread and tell me who came in here equating homosexuality and fetishism. It's clearly obvious now you're on a mission here, to defend the prick who came in here spreading an obvious message of hate.

I don't give a shit if you believe me or not, but too fucking bad that you're such a moron.

You came here to defend an obvious homophobe, now you're unraveled because I didn't buy your weak ass defense of him and his points. Come back when you have a better defense for homophobia. The "I don't like to see people kiss" is so played out, and even comical when the same person is actually telling others to grow up...

You're a idiot plain and simple.

The only way you can make your point is by making assumptions, manipulating/twisting what's been said to suit your arguments, that says a lot about you. And before you go telling someone they need to learn to read, go re-read the part where you suggested for him to put his children up for adoption an get vasectomy - if that's not harsh, I don't know what is. I'm going to waste time defending myself to someone so stupid and irrational as you.

You already have wasted your time defending yourself, and the right wing night job who came in here with his Fred Phelps message, because you landed right on your face in both instances. And, thank you for finally quitting. Due to your inability to make any intelligible case for his blatant ignorance and homophobia, and now yours, you're now just annoying.
