Gay Pride

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 10:51 AM

Do you think that gay pride is right?
Do you think that it is acceptable to march down busy streets waving rainbow flags, dressed as transvestites or sexually confused bikers?

I'm not meaning to offend anyone here, but personally I don't think it's something to go around and brag about. I have a very Darwinist way of looking at things, and as far as I'm concerned, being gay doesn't benefit a species in any way. I have nothing wrong with it really, My aunty is gay.
But you would never see her shouting it in the streets...because she finds it socially unacceptable. Hell, she tried to protect me from it. She told me her girlfriend was her roomate when I was little so I wouldn't be weirded out.

What do you think??

like i said I'm not trying to be an asshole..

ReproMan · 06-19-2007, 10:56 AM

I don't give a shit either way. As long as they don't try to recruit, they can do whatever they want.

**IainDaniel** · 06-19-2007, 10:56 AM

Meh whatever floats your boat.

There are parades or marches for everything now a days. Plus parades like this draw in huge revenue for the city. IE. Toronto, has one of the largest parades it brings in a shit load of coin.

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 10:58 AM

I didn't take revenue into consideration. Good point. I'm finding now that it is a hot topic for politics...

Doublebase · 06-19-2007, 11:04 AM

It seems like they have a parade every weekend in NYC. Jewish, Greek, Italian (Columbus Day), Puerto Rican, Irish, why not the gays.

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 11:05 AM

I don't see the point in any pride parade really. I can see how someone would be proud of their heritage, but Gays is sexual preference. It would be like a Pedophile Pride Parade.

**IainDaniel** · 06-19-2007, 11:07 AM

That is a whole different topic whether being gay is preference or genetics.

I am on the side that genetics plays a part.

Ditto. I have a friend that's been obviously gay for as long as I've know him (since the age of 3.) Long before he had any chance to be influenced by anyone.

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 11:09 AM

I don't know. To me being gay is becoming more and more of a trend. Media portrays it as being "hip" and "fresh"
Genetics, I'm sure, plays a role IN SOME, but sex is the whole motivating factor.

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 11:10 AM

I know Chromosome disjunction and such plays a part. XXY for example.

No, it wouldn't. I suggest you stop talking about this subject.

danny81 · 06-19-2007, 11:13 AM

i agree dont stop. besides you dont see any straight parades.

DOMS · 06-19-2007, 11:13 AM

The problem with the whole "gay pride" thing is that it most often hurts, not helps, society's view of gays.

Most gay pride events are displays of debauchery and/or snobbery. Which present a distorted view of gays when most of them are pretty much like everyone else; aside from their sexual preference, that is.

A lot of people see some nut on roller skates, with body paint, and wearing a thong and use that to base their views on all gays.

danny81 · 06-19-2007, 11:13 AM

and coleman yes it is.

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 11:14 AM

Hopw would it not be?
Gay people prefer the same sex.
Pedophiles prefer little kids
I'm not saying they are exactly the same...
It's all preference...and like I said, sex is, more often then not, the motivation.

danny81 · 06-19-2007, 11:15 AM

i completly agre with dontstop. i think they shouldnt be allowed.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 11:16 AM

And exactly. I have NO PROBLEM with Gay people, but people make it oput to be something it is not. So being gay means you have to dress like a fucking freak and talk with a pathetic accent? Gay poride makes it seems like there comes expectations with being gay.

You're wrong. Gay people are simply attracted to members of the same sex the same way I'm attracted to women or you're attracted to men. It's as simple as that. I think your blatant homophobia is disgusting.

So straight people are on the same wave as pedophiles as well.

Cause that is there "preference"?

It's really pathetic when people say they have "no problem" with gay people while insinuating differently in the same breath.

**IainDaniel** · 06-19-2007, 11:30 AM

Jeez chill out it is a joke.

I forgot you lead the perfect life, and never poke fun at anyone or anything.

Little Wing · 06-19-2007, 11:31 AM

this country is so sexually fucked up it's ridiculous. vibrators and dildoes are illegal in some states. some places it's against the law to blow your husband or fuck your wife in the ass, let alone sporting a strap-on n fucking your husband in the ass. It's none of anyone else's business what we do with our partner or what sex our partner is.

you think gays make themselves look dumb with these parades. hmmm rednecks look dumb, militant feminists look dumb, our president was clueless as to who other international leaders were but he got elected anyway... and look who we have to choose from next. i think the parades just make them look like they are having a fun time and celebrating not having to hide under a rock. trying to shove them back under it is not cool.

and comparing gays to pedophiles is sadly misguided.

my blatant homophobia is disgusting eh?
Right after I say my aunty is gay and I have no problem with gay people. Right...

Straight people are the same as anyone else because of their preference...but they don't go and throw parades about it.

In all fairness, have you seen how big those things can get? You can set rivets with them!

Yes, I do think so. They look like a bunch of ass monkeys in those parades.

There are a lot of gays that don't like those parades for the very reason that I stated before.

DontStop · 06-19-2007, 11:42 AM

And LW, my comparison of gay's and pedophiles isn't that misguided. I in no way agree with pedophilia, but think about it. In the early 1900's it was perfectly acceptable to see a 30 year old man marry a 14 year old girl. Being gay back in the day was hardly even heard
