: When was the last time you saw heterosexuals get their skulls caved in with iron bars just for being heterosexual?Might that never happen.
: The fact remains, if you are a gay man, you are likely to get your head kicked in. Is this because gays are sub-human? No, it's because the straight population has a long tradition of queerbashing. Where does the intolerance lie?
Well I'm not for intolerance as anyone reading my posts will be well aware of but there are instances when people are acting in a provocative manner, such as orange men marching through catholic areas to celebrate their historyical prevalent position, I dont think these type of displays are tasteful or wise. Not at all wise.
: Would you insist that heterosexuals keep their flirting to themselves?
Well I'd prefer that they did but homosexuality is a lifestlye choice not a natural condition and think that it should not be displayed in such a manner as to cause confusion among heterosexuals that arent sure of their sexuality.
:If not, then why do so for gays. As I've replied to Shaun, part of the reason for the outrageousness of the gay community is an attempt to preserve their identity against the repression and the violence; no different, in a way, to blacks in the Deep South.
Maybe but I find it disgusting and I otherwise have no problem whatsoever with them.
: The message is "we will not be cowed by your violence; we will not give into fear; we are your equals, even if we are a minority and we are not going to bow down to your coercion".
Fair enough but it more often than not appears as "we are deviant fuckers who will engage in outrageous displays of the abnormal and ridiculous".
: The problem lies in your own conditioning to think of gays as repulsive, even when it doesn't touch you directly; after all, they're not making a pass at you, are they? So what's the problem?
What condiitoning would that be? I dont appreciate TV coverage of porn festivals or heterosexual extravagence in the same way I dont the homo extravagence.
