Hey.. what's that supposed to mean. If/when I decide to have kids they will be raised completely unprejudiced and I won't be forcing them to be anyone that isn't themselves.

I don't see you complaining about guys who kiss their girlfriends in public. A little biased, are we?
I said I'm NOT talking about showing public affection, granted I do think the idea of two men kissing is disgusting but hey whatever they want to do that's on them. I'm talking about the attitude and mentality of "Here I am, I'm gay and proud look at me." Flaunting your sexual orientation in public with loud and obnoxious attitude is what annoys me.

Logical fallacy: Just because being "gay" is natural, doesn't mean that being "straight" isn't. So no, it doesn't meant that you are "abnormal".

Straight have killed gays. It is fair that gays can at least get equal rights and have a day to be positive and love themselves after all of that.
So if my lady and I were in a room of gays, we would be the minority and should be able to make a big deal out of it and expect the gays in the room make make extra allowances for us.... Go to a full on gay bar and see where snogging your woman at the bar gets you.
Like if I was born in Africa it would therefore be impossible for me to be racist to black people as they are the majority (by quite some margin I might add) and therefore only I would need protecting from racism with 'white only support groups'......

I might remind you that humans are physically designed to mate with those of the opposite sex, not the same sex. This is why males have male genitalia and females have female genitalia. So no, homosexuality is not part of nature, it's a corruption of nature that everyone is trying to pass off as natural and normal. I consider it to be a socially-accepted mental illness.
All hail the designer/creator of the human race for they know whats natural and whats not.
A socially accepted mental illness, just as bigotry is a socially accepted mental illness, well actually bigotry is more of mental illness because that is how one thinks yet being Gay to me is a physical thing so im not sure about that actually being in a persons head as much as hating what a people do in the privacy of their own homes.

I think it's counterproductive, if gay people want to be seen as equal and the same as everybody else, making a huge deal and celebration about how you're different and special because you're gay is the complete wrong way to go about it imo.
So...hide who you are? Okay, you're not allowed to even look at chicks (or guys) anymore. You cannot display a single facet of your sexuality. In fact, forget having a public personality period.
You might offend someone, and that would cost you your rights.

So youve been to a full on gay bar and snogged your woman, wow i just realized by the way you write not only are afraid of men you seem to be afraid of women and are some what of a womanizer. this is just my opinion from the way you express yourself, sorry if im wrong or if i offend.

You are missing the point and I can't go on all day.
Just as women marched and formed groups, and blacks marched in protest and spoke out, gay people do the same thing in their own way. You are making way too big of a deal out of gay parades. Irish people have parades too. Who cares?
Seriously? It's in no way counter productive.
They goof off for an hour and walk down the street then they go back to their normal boring lives.edit on 24-7-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

Racism IS a part of our nature. People are naturally racist, the thing is we are reasoning beings and we can see how the more prevalent racism is ignorant and that all racism creates in a modern society is negativity. Just as we should let all races be equal because we have no control over our race, we should also let homosexuals be because they have no control over their sexuality.
Also many people are openly racist.. ever heard of the KKK? New Black Panthers? They are all ignorant, but they still have a right to their opinions.edit on 24-7-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

Yeah - well - I live in Arizona.
Got a lot of Rush wannabe's that are loud and obnoxious in public.
Flamboyant? Depends on how you define that. Flashing their guns and machoism can be very flamboyant.

There's a difference between hiding and not flaunting and making a huge show of it. Riding down the street in floats wearing skimpy outfits making a huge deal of your sexual orientation does what exactly? Why be proud to be gay? You should take pride in your accomplishments and achievements not something that you have no control over.

Can you give a specific example of what you are talking about? Are you talking only about gay pride parades? I have been friends with gays for 25 years. I live in a fairly large city (and a pretty liberal one at that). I am 52 years old, and I have traveled a fair amount. I have never even seen a gay pride parade, so I don't think gay parades are shoved down our throats everyday. What ARE you talking about, exactly?

You don't like gay pride parades because you don't like gays. Only a small segment of gays even participate in those parades. But you focus on the gay pride parades, because that's your best argument for forcing all gays back into the closet.

So let's take the macho rights away. That's what we're doing, right? If we don't like someone, we take away their rights. Even though that's unconstitutional and would be overthrown by the Supreme Court.
