If you're not gay, why do you spend so much time in the gay forums?
I think some people aren't secure enough in their own sexualities, so they often feel threatened by the very idea of any type of homosexual lifestyle. Personally, my thoughts are if you're secure enough in your own sexuality, then who cares if the person is gay. As long as they respect and acknowledge my right to straight, then I have no problems respecting their right to be gay or bisexual. If they can't even respect that about me, then that's where we'll have problems.
Plus whilst were on the subject, can you answer me this question too please pastor coz its always fascinated me? In the bible it says were all created in gods image, then what god would persecute his own creation? Would love to know...........
Also pastor one of the commandments states thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife, nor his ox, nor his man servant. Now I thought religion would be against slavery but seemingly its ok to have a man servant too, please could you explain that one too? many thanks.....Are you kidding me? Seriously? This is the kind of attitude I abhor. It's time to educate yourself. A sin? Please... The only people who need "curing" or "help" are ones with this sort of judgmental, close-minded and highly unloving attitude.
Please educate yourself. While you're at it, why not attempt to "heal' yourself from heterosexuality. Let me know how the experiment goes. And answer Calpol's questions, too. I know I'm waiting for your ever so enlightened answer.
You are VERY far from knowing the truth.I cant wait to find out the answers to these, and would love to see the healing process for heterosexuality too, that way you can kick open the closet doors and leave Narnia forever and be proud that you left the closet behind
- I have a feeling the answers are NOT forthcoming, calpol! Just a sneaking suspicion.
I agree, funny how they post feeling really brave yet can not answer or will not answer because they know that they are deep down inside very wrong..
And public forums are for everyone, not just specific people.
When you have a forum that is public enabled, then you will have different people voicing different thoughts, either opinions, beliefs, facts or truth.
Those who are against gays/lesbians, are in it for themselves more than anything else. Not one of the can come up with a rationalized explanation of their own actions, because they cannot see beyond themselves to begin with.
So, they come to whatever forums and spout off, as if they have inside knowledge to some sort of truth, but in reality it's purely ego driven for why they post.Cagsil, good points
I know I sound like I want exclusive groups but this isn't about those who want to ask questions and post their thoughts on any given topic. I'm directing this more toward those who spend excessive amounts of time in gay forums when they're anti-gay.
Personally I think it's a fear thing.My statement wasn't meant for you. It was just directly addressing the usage of public forums.
Fear? Maybe of themselves, but not of other people. It would be a misunderstanding on their part, of themselves.
Having gay people around and as friends, then there is nothing to fear. Being gay? Or being lesbian, isn't something to fear to begin with. It's actually meaningless in the overall perspective and that is what many people fail to realize.
What is meaningless is the fact that a person's sexual orientation is such a minor portion of what an individual actually is.Absolutely, but you know what really makes me laugh? When challenged, a homophobe will refer to the bible, even those who I've met that have only attended a church for a baptism or wedding. Talk about scratching for sources.
I *just* wrote a Hub on why they really shouldn't bother, unless they're trying to undermine their case.
Don't even get me started on that...! The other constituent is uneducated people. There really are still people who think most of them are HIV+ and will become infected in their very presence.
I know that adds to their hysteria and fear. They're xenophobes, really... uneducated ones are the worst kind, too.
Thank you wordscribe43, hollie and livelonger, I am gay and I know there alot of accepting people out there who do support us and always nice to meet them. Best laugh ever when they retort to the bible because all you have to ask is who wrote it? and when they say god its soooo funny because if he did the im sure he would have given up on looking for a publisher early on lol!
Simple answer to that one hun is that the homophobic mind operates only with hatred, be it of themselves because they are gay and cant come out, or that a lack of education and awareness means they dont understand that not all people are like them...

0 I'm not someone who spends much time in this particular forum. Once in awhile if I see a thread that catches my eye, and that makes me think I might have something to offer (or that it's interesting) I'll pop on here.
Personally, I think people who have "axes to grind" over the Gay/Lesbian "issue" don't belong in this forum. Yes, it's a public forum; but I think this way: If there were a forum for, say, women only or empty-nesters only, I'd think it was for whoever the forum was supposed to be "for". If it were a men's forum or an Asian forum, I'd most likely stay out most of the time. (I seldom go to the cooking or sports forums either.)
Really, though, to me, it's one thing if someone spots a subject he thinks might be interesting; but I don't think it's appropriate for someone to go to "whatever" forum and start bashing or insulting or otherwise being objectionable to the very people to whom it's supposed to be primarily aimed. I mean, if people want/need to bash other people (or their causes, nature, lifestyles, whatever), I think they could at least go make their objectionable remarks in the Hubbers' Hangout (like so many other people do ). (I made the little joke there, but I'm serious. Public or not, it's just not the place for that kind of behavior.)- janikonposted 12 years ago0
