Everyone has to ask himself (or herself) this question:

If God created us, what created him?

And answer it.

He didn't thrust any thing on you. He just voiced his say. Some one then promtly shot it down, in a kind manner. Then afterwards four thousand posts pop up all saying the same thing, but each one is more rude and boring to read then the last.

Go hang around the queer end of any city. They go from moderately strange to down right clownish.

Yes, I find them creepy. I would not share a drink with a gay man. I would not want one staring at me. The only gay people that do not creep me out are the ones in their 40's. The younger gay men are fricken scary. Especially the ones in their very early 20's.

First of all, im not a homophob. i dont go around bashing homos, in fact im trying to defend them. my cousin leads the most horrible life ever, not because hes a homosexual, but because he has no confidence. im not trying to lower his self esteem anymore. im trying to make a valid scientific reason as to why people end up liking the same sex. if anybody cares, i have links to back up my opinions. so its not like im making anything up. im not thrusting my ideas upon you. if anything you all are thrusting them upon me. at least ive stayed and argued. as for my poor choices of words, you have to give me the benefit of the doubt. i come from a super redneck hick town and am probably the least ignorant of my family.

Revan... just buy one of these funky t-shirts and be merry!

Whaaa?
Fuck's sake, Jordan. Grow up, and do try not to display your ignorance so blatantly. Have you ever been to "the queer end of any city"? Either you've never actually met a gay person and have just observed them from afar when you stiffly cross the street to avoid them and their scary clothes, or all the gays you've met were just putting on an act to weird you out. They seem to like doing that to straight people. Kind of a defense mechanism.

I've been pretty closely affiliated with gay culture all my life, and the worst I can say about young gays is that they're generally into annoying music, talk about their sexuality all the time, and that they're really easy to patronize in an 'awww, he so cuuute' kind of way. The average gay man just seems to be a bimbo with shorter hair and more piercings.

I assume we're just limiting this talk to gay men here, btw. I don't see anyone arguing over the weirdness of hot lesbians.

Actually, although I'm not gay, I have some male friends that are.
Some are blatantly gay, which *annoys* me somewhat (the jumping-oh-I-am-so-gay-type), the others I just came to know their, hm, status, after knowing them for quite some time (the normal-kinda-guy-who-is-gay-type).

Neither type "creeps me out". And the ones I know are in your specially creepy age.
I do agree that when you go to the a "queer place" (or gay-friendly, as is so en vogue to say) of the city it's weird. Not scary, but weird. And sometimes you feel unconfortable with the looks some of them give you. Then again, maybe they're weirder over there.

I am sorry to say so, Revan, but it does show. Believe me or not, in my last post I wanted to write "hyper- conservative narrow minded redneck" but I thought better of it, because it sounded to me to strong.

Again, it seems to me that you missed the whole point of what I wrote. Nobody is thrusting ideas upon you. I just urge you to think more, perhaps read more, to grasp some of the subtelties of the English language. When you say to someone "you have a birth defect" - believe me, it is offensive. Just answer me this question - is it or is it not offensive. If you see nothing offensive in that, then we have nothing further to argue about.

Just for the record, since we're baring our spuls here, I don't mind overtly in-your-face homosexuals. We live in an overtly in-your-face heterosexual culture, so pot, meet kettle. Look at an average magazine rack, and you'll see a lot of gals in their underwear. I am NOT complaining.

I am overtly in-your-face heterosexual. If I meet a woman I find attractive, she will know pretty quick. I don't get creeped-out reactions to my behaviour, so I dare say the average straight gal is more accepting of heterosexual men than Jordan is of homosexual men.

I know where Jordan works, and yeah, there are a lot of fags around there. That is a cruising area, so no doubt he sees some weird shit. Jordan, for the record, those guys that creep you out are the ones you notice. The fags you don't even realise are gay? Those guys are the average. YET: Being openly and outwardly gay is the only way these guys are going to meet one another. In a culture that is predominantly straight, how are they supposed to know who to hit on? (Don't worry Jordan, when they hit on you, it usually means you are dressing well, and women will like that. Sometimes of course it means you are dealing with a slimy queer who will hit on anything, but you gotta take the annoying with the complimentary. I have been hit on by fags, a lot of times, and my world has never come to an end).

Someone made a crack about hot lesbians. Yep. Fair is fair; the gay marriage issue affected women more than men, since lesbians will pretty much move in together on the second date. But the whole issue has always been about fags. What up? Are we like Queen Victoria, unwilling to accept that lesbianism exists?

MC: Bang on with the comment about neutral-register versus pejorative. Most open-minded redneck in the bunch or not, R47, you had to know that "autism" and "retardation" were not the most polite ways to describe something a little less common than left-handedness and a little more common than red hair. Birth defect? Yikes.

Open challenge still on for anyone arguing that homosexuality is a disease, an affront to nature, a self-destructive psychological trend, or the end of the world, who is NOT religious. Freaks and liars don't count.

Did you guys know that the brain waves of closed-minded people are different from the brain waves of open-minded people? I read it off some guy's website.

I guess "some guy's" a pretty reliable source, then.

Hari, I like the t-shirt. But I'm not gay. Am I allowed to like the shirt since I'm not gay and have no way to relate to them? Regarding the shirt: I do know which hole to stick my head in.
