There is a very large difference between the way rights for visible minorities and invisible minorities are approached. Food for thought.
i had a fixed quote. he said he lived in a 100% black community except him. i clicked the submit button by accident before i changed it.
are you familiar with the concept of “white privilege”?
i think you should read a bit more on this topic before you act like you have any experience or understanding of what you’re talking about.
I didn’t know that this topic was about black people…
lets not even get into that one. i really don’t feel like comparing other ethnic groups to blacks. not what you want to start here.
i was mostly responding to what dylan was saying in his last post
I’ll take that as a no, since that’s not what it’s about.
@Atomic Waffle: Christopher Walken is gay. No straight man dances in a hotel like that! Just look at those wrists! :retard:
But seriously, folks. I’ve not heard one logical argument against gay people as a group. Someone might find the group personally disgusting, but so what? Is that any reason to legislatively oppress and repress them?
Now I need to go find my copy of “Weapon of Choice”…[/SIZE]
It’s more likely than you thin. https://www.hemingways.org/GIDinfo/sage/index.htm this is pretty edifying. Don’t slough it off as one of those lame personality tests; there’s some pretty intuitive stuff that goes into it, sexuality theory and what not, you can read about it on the page.
It ranked me as androgynous heterosexual. That’s pretty accurate. You’ll find that most people don’t perfectly fit into their supposed gender identity.
Trousers, bitches! It works!
Just thought I’d throw my opinion in here for the hell of it.
I am straight. I’m going to say that right now. I am male and I enjoy the romantic company of females. I have never felt any homosexual tendencies nor felt attracted to any other member of my gender within my lifetime.
However, I am fully supportive of LGBT rights. I was raised in a family of highly conservative Mormon Christians who are very opposed to any and all members of the gay community, and they could not find any reason other than “It goes against gods will” like it’s some form of active ommission of sin performed just to spite god. I was raised listening to that for 18 years and I’m sick of it. Such a behavior is not only a disgrace to yourself, it’s a disgrace to your beliefs and those who share them.
Homesexuality is not a choice or active action one takes, it is something hidden deep within the human subconciousness, something that cannot be re-written or destroyed. It is a part of the human mind, that in itself is natural. The discrimination that has plagued the world on this subject is absolutely abhorring and disgusting, and makes me ashamed to be human.
My first girlfriend was a bisexual and I’m not afraid to say that I loved her regardless, probably more than I’ve loved anyone else. She had kissed girls in front of me many times and it did not offend me in the least bit. I have also seen many of my male gay friends kiss right in front of me, and it did not bother me either. Just because that does not bother me doesn’t mean I want to join in however, it only strikes me as a life choice someone has made and I respect them for that.
I am truly disgusted to see some of that old hatred here on these forums today, people who are so intolerant of homosexual behavior because it is “unnatural” “immoral” or “Just not Normal” seriously need to take a look at the world around them. The most accepted statistic now is that 1 in every 10 people are either gay, bisexual or lesbian. Source. So 10% of the population is simply wrong or “just not normal”?
I ask you, what does normal mean now? Can you really quantify something as subjective and fluctuating as normal? If you can please, let me know, as philosophers have been searching for that answer for centuries, and I would love to know the answer. All of you who have been intolerant of others in the world need to wake up. You are becoming the minority, you are becoming the figures of hate in the world because of your intolerance. I hope to be there on the day of retribution when you realize that you have spent your life hating a group of people to find them at the figurehead of society, leading us to a new tomorrow.
Once again this is just my opinion, I’m not directing it at any one person or persons in this thread or this forum. I am simply displacing my hatred and despisment for all forms of intolerance of human beings. I’m sorry if I offended anyone but I felt that this must be said.
EDIT: Thanks for the link nietzschesaurus, took the test and here’s what I got:
Your appearance is Quite Masculine
Your brain processes are mostly that of a Androgynous person.
You appear to socialize in a masculine manner.
You believe you have normal doubts about your gender identity.
You indicated your were born Male.
ANALYSIS:
No conflicts, you appear to fully accept your physical sex and gender identity.
And yes, definitely trousers.
"On Friday, December 18, 2009 thousands of people will be protesting the release of the James Cameron movie, Avatar. The purpose of the protest is as follows:
-
To make all people aware that heterosexual arrogance, assumptions or exclusions of alternative sexualities in movies is no longer acceptable. Diversity and tolerance are human rights.
-
To speak out for all gay, bi-sexual, genderless and transgender people who are not represented by any character in Avatar.
-
To educate people about Evolution and humanity’s transition to transgenderism. "
So shortly their problem was that there were no gay creatures in the movie avatar…
I promised myself that I wont come back to this ridiculous thread but I wanted to post this…
This is just ridiculous, why should a movie like the Avatar have faggot soldiers or TRANSEXUAL (LOL?) creatures in it…seriously what the hell?
Oh and thanks for reporting me gay lovers for telling my opinion and sharing my hatred, I wont forget your kindness (don’t report me again for this, I don’t feel like deserving it)
that protest is a little pointless but they do have a point, there are not enough gay charchters in cinema and tv to accurtly portray the society we live in
As for those people who reported you Aze they had every right to, for its the “hatred” (As you pointed it out as) you spit that gets people hurt, and it needs to stop
Go back literally two generations (in Europe as well as the U.S. or anywhere else in the civilized world)… what changed?
In b4 yet another racial struggle reference.
But seriously, what do they want? Male creatures to make out with each other in the Avatar or seriously how do they wish to achiev to appear in it? How do they want to let other people know that a character in the Avatar is gay? Make it wear pink clothes? Or they want the main characther to fall in love with another male creature instead of a female one? or what? tell me please because I fail to understand the logic in their needs…
That protest is just stupid. It’s like that guy I talked to once who made a huge deal about how Eli (Half-Life 2) was a cripple, and how that was racism. I do not think the movie industry needs more gayness to cater to gay people, but if it did, it wouldn’t be horrible or anything, but still… It’s nothing for anybody to PROTEST, for pete’s sake!
Ye LET’S PROTEST AGAINST WALL-E or Pocahontas or Tom and Jerry! OWMAIGAWD NO GAYNESS IN IT!!! Kids need to learn that gayness is absoluetely okay and there’s nothing bad about it… YAY!
All they want is a charchter to be gay, he or she doesnt have to be flambontley or omg look at me gay but just say in a gay relationship, like here in the UK we have a family show called Doctor Who, recently they had a special about a base on mars and an infection, one of the charchters was in a relationship with another male not in the base with the crew but back home, it was hardly ever metioned but he was gay and it felt “normal” if thats how you want to percive it, I didn’t even notice until someone pointed it out. Is it so much to ask to have charchters represented in that way in film? It passes a postive message onto the masses, that says its normal to be gay, not something to be ashamed of. We had another show that was a spin off from that show called torchwood, were the main two charchters were gay and they kicked all kind of alien ass and many were moved by the death of the one, by alien drug addicts. It’s pretty much the same as asking of a film to have a mix of national charchters and sex’s and to represent them in a fair and believable way
In the past two generations the attitudes towards the gay community have vastly improved, and this should be represented in film
I am sure that whole protest is just fake. If it was real, why come up with that now and not 10 years earlier?
Because being gay or metrosexual wasnt “AWESOME” and this tolerated ten years ago…
Aze, seriously shut the fuck up. Your intolerance and hatred aren’t welcome here. You have no real basis for any of your hatred to those of a different sexual orientation. All you ever spout is “OMG! Faggots?!?! GROSS!!” It’s getting old and so is your rationale. If you aren’t going to provide anything useful or beneficial to this thread without attempting to incite hate for people who are different, just leave.
