There's a very select bunch of people who really seem to not like gays and/or think its cool to post how they should keep there gayness to thereselves. A couple months ago reading over these types of comments wouldnt really have bothered me or phased me whatsoever.

But recently there was a boy who was heavily picked on in a school a couple towns over from me, who was picked on constantly because he was gay, he had done everything he could to try to make it stop he reported it, told teachers, but ultimatley kept to himself about it when it came to his peers. He was terrified of being harassed even more.

He ended up hanging himself, just a few hours ago.

It was really tragic because  even though he reported it, he appeared fine to all his peers, "we didn't know it was hurting his feelings".


Thats what they claimed.

So please before you make another gay joke or call someone out on being gay, please think twice about it. Everyone is entitled to there own opinion but your own opinion doesn't consist of ranking on people because of there sexuality.

So please just think before you speak.

I don't care if you are white, black, gay, straight, or what ever. Don't be annoying about shit and you won't get bugged/picked on/harassed, and if someone does, kick their ass and teach them to keep their mouth shut.

It's not that they're gay. I'm pretty positive most people posted something along the lines of 'i don't like to openly, in every thread you create, hear that you enjoy dick'. Should I express in every thread I create that I'm straight and therefore love pussy? No.

I agree. From my experience, straight guys are much more vulgar. Of all my guy friends-- straight and gay-- the straight ones are those who make disgusting sexual remarks. My gay friends think it's tacky, tasteless and disgusting. 

To the person who was quote replied-- will you show me a thread on newschoolers where a legitimately gay male talks about how much he likes dick?

Ok, look. I'm just going to try and explain why gay people are so sensitive/avid about being gay.


It sucks, just REALLY sucks. you are:

Judged
frowned upon
hated for no reason
told you are going to hell
beaten
disowned
and abandoned by friends


All but the disownment has happened to me, so at this point I'm severely jaded on what most straight people think.
Now i'm not speaking for ALL gay people, but from what I know by friends, its similar to what I explained or worse sometimes.

People are judged for everything they do every day. It's called life.

If your actions/ideas are opposite the views of mainstream society, they will be frowned upon.

People are hated for no *legitimate* reason all of the time.

Everyone has someone else saying that they are going to hell. Religion is bullshit.

Beaten - it sucks that happened to you and I would love to hear the circumstances. But honestly there are tons of kids beaten up for various reasons every day. If this happened in a school setting, then it's really nothing special.

Disowned and abandoned by friends - again, this goes to the contrast between your views/actions and those of mainstream society... if there is enough distance between the two, there will be consequences that result. If you were disowned by your friends because of your sexual preference, then they really weren't friends to begin with.

Basically what this comes down to for me, is that gay people think that their "struggle" is somehow unique, and that they are the only ones who go through any of the adversity they face. It's an insanely egocentric and arrogant view, and that's what makes me angry. Basically, everyone has problems, get over yourself.

You missed the thread. I'm not arguing either way, I'm just saying most of the comments that came up weren't 'i'm tired of gay people...' they were 'i'm tired of reading threads with awesome content dropped down later by comments of sexuality'. I assume you get tired of reading threads with 'i suck pussy' in them?

I'm saying there shouldn't be threads diminished by comments of sexuality, regardless of the type of sexuality.

I feel like to what this boils down too is, gay people have every right to address there sexuality as straight people would. No, this does not include being a loud mouth and shoving your gayness down peoples throats, BUT, it does mean if someone who is gay mentions there sexuality just as a straight person would they dont deserve to verbally have the shit kicked out of them. I too, find it obnoxious when people get all over you and really loud mouth homosexuality. But Chirs wasn't like that he was quiet and incredibly sensitive to those who weren't comfortable with his sexuality, but he was still mercilessly picked on.

the whole point doesn't lie in how someone acts when they are gay. and it's completely stereotypical to assume gays are loud about being gay. when it's just seems that way because those who are proud, let it be known, and those who are not do not speak. but for obvious reasons no one sees those who do not speak. if you want to talk about the serious matters of gays, does anyone not realize there are major genocides happening in places like uganda where all gays are being murdered, tortured, raped? seriously. to say a gay person has no daily battles is hysterical. come on people. what do you know about being different, being a straight, middle class male? yeah everyone gets picked on, yeah everyone has a hard teenage years, or life growing up etc, but it doesn't change the fact, that there still exists discrimination, not only around the rest of the world, but in north america, and it's still very prevelant. the day that someone is not discriminated based on their sexual orientation, gender, or race, is the day that these issues no longer need to be addressed.

I really wasn't implying that all gays were, and no there is nothing wrong with being proud of your sexuality, I was just acknowledging that I could see if you were homophobic, how it could be bothersome, some way I get fed up for the the WBBC forcing there beliefs in my face, thats all.

I didn't want to mention it, but you really need to try to use the proper their/there/they're and your/you're. And also, why should you be "proud" of your sexuality? I'm confused. I'm not "proud" that I'm straight.

because being gay has long been something someone was supposed to be ashamed of, being proud to be gay means you fully accept yourself for who you are, and are able to love yourself even though you are not straight, "conventional, or socially accepted"

I dont know which one of your english teachers molested you as a child but thats not really the point of this thread, and you're semi-right. You may not be proud but it's something that you feel comfortably openly discussing without shoving it in peoples faces right?

I'm definately for self-acceptance when it comes to sexuality. Because I believe for the most part it's something you can't change, so accepting it as a part of you is necessary to living a happy life. I was just saying that being gay isn't something to be proud (or ashamed) of... it just "is".

It was the English teacher that didn't molest me... WAS I NOT ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH!? I think it's something that most feel comfortable discussing in a close knit circle of friends, but I think that in this country, sexuality is a private/personal subject that is usually not openly discussed. Whether or not YOU feel comfortable talking about it does not mean that others will be, and you have to respect that.

*however, i think the point still remains, that straight couples can generally talk about their relationship with almost no one being uncomfortable, whereas a gay couple might make more people uncomfortable, which, it really shouldn't matter.

Well you expose your sexuality when you mention someone is attractive, its pretty easy to do so. But I'm saying when people do mention there sexuality and you arent comfortable, the back button is on the upper left corner of your screen, and turning and walking is equivelent.

straight guys should be stoked to have have gay dudes around. girls tend to want to be around them because they arent threatening, they arent competition for that one special cutie, and if they are one of your friends, some people will actaully think better of you as a person for having them as a friend.


I garauntee that no one here has been hit on by a gay dude, told them "no thanks man, i love Vajajay" and he didnt stop. Trust me, if only girls had it so easy as to just tell a creepy guy no thanks once and be done with him.


Gay dues are great. In fact i would literally be the happiest man on earth if every other dude in the world was gay. i mean how awesome for me would that be?!!

It shouldn't matter, but to many people it does, and gay people should be sensitive of that. I (like the vast majority of people) temper my conversations depending on my audience. It will take a long time for society to start seeing homosexuality as a normality, and trying to force it upon people is only going to slow the process/make people more uncomfortable than they already are.

In a situation where you're having a conversation with new acquaintances *a few of whom are black* would you start talking about how beneficial and great slavery was for the US? In that same conversation there are Jewish people. Would you start talking about how great of a tactician and leader Hitler was? No, because these are topics that are taboo and not normally discussed in a casual setting among people you don't know. Why is that? Because they can be offensive and contrary to other peoples core beliefs. Saying "deal with it" isn't an intelligent response when it comes to this. Especially when a large portion of the US population is Christian, and Christianity is against homosexuality.

And again.. I'm not saying homosexuality should offend people, I'm just saying that it does.

Why is it a necessity to share who you find attractive with everyone you come into contact with?

Where I will agree with you, is that in a situation on the internet, it is very easy to ignore/stop listening to someone.. although on a forum like this, it is still annoying when someone brings up their sexuality every couple of posts.
