How many people have you seen do any of that stuff?
Come mainland Europe and feast your eyes on things like the Love Parade, Gay Pride Parade and things like that.
You’ll get to see brilliant things like this:
It’s things like this that makes people dislike gays. There’s a difference between two guys walking around, holding hands, giving eachother kisses and hugging eachother, and two guys walking around completely naked apart from a leather thong, pierced nipples and a sparkly dildo in their hands.
Hard to be accepted as normal (the thing they all scream for) when you’re acting like that.
I haven’t seen any gays that are asking for “more rights” or “special treatments” because they’re gay.
As for those protesting a movie? Firstly, you don’t see much of the Na’vi beyond the interpersonal relationships of a few of them. Illustrated in the movie is that there are many thousands (and, probably millions) of Na’vi on Pandora. To complain that you don’t see homosexuality or transgenderism in the approximate 0.001% of possible relationships that are shown on camera? Yeah…
Some people will protest anything. I’ve even seen people protesting protests. They might be doing it in mockery, but it is illustrative.
Back on point, heterosexual is “in gays’ faces” every hour of every day. When they go to the movies and watch the Incredibles, for existence, they see a father and mother with three children. That’s heterosexuality. The relationships in Friends? Heterosexual. Christmas movies? Yeah, Ebenezer and Isabel. Friggin’ Half Life? What do you think exists between Gordon and Alyx?
Heterosexuality is “shoved down the throat” (if you want to use that terminology) of everyone on a near constant basis. If gays want even a small portion of that “action”, you have straights that complain that they’re trying to shove “homosexuality” down straights’ throats.
And I find it amusing. To say the least.
You’re right. It’s a good thing that straights never act like that.
You don’t understand what I mean with “in your face”.
My previous post is the “in your face” business.
You don’t understand what I mean either. Pride parades have a Mardi Gras/Carnival type feel to them. They’re PURPOSEFULLY garish and outlandish. The picture you posted? Let’s see them three in their normal day-to-day. I’m willing to bet that they wear suits and are professional businessmen.
Do you have a problem with Carnival?
I do yes. And as someone who lives close to a city that adores Carnival, I’m quite bumfucked whenever the annual freakshow arrives.
But you do make a point, straights do act like that as well, so I guess I can just boil it down to “attentionwhoring humans should gtfo and leave the rest of the world in peace”.
Everything is good in the world in that case. Although I think the whole point of a carnival is attention, so I don’t really think you can blame any particular person in one.
That, or you could GTFU (“Grow the Fuck Up”) and realize that there are literal millions of variations of people out there. Some will do things you can’t stand. And you do things that they can’t stand.
Yes, they’re attention whores. But are you we going to treat an entire sexual orientation based on the actions of those people? If so, then you have a problem with the entirety of the human population…yourself included.
Well, that just shows that I have no problems with gays, but with anyone who wants to be a flaming twat.
Edit: danielsangeo, if you’re going to skim through my post and making conclusions around the 3-4 words you’ve read, then I don’t think we should be having a discussion right here.
I never stated or claimed that all gays are attentionwhoring freaks. At a later point I even concluded that straights can be attentionwhoring freaks as well. Sexuality has nothing to do with how retarded people want to act. And hey, they can act retarded all they want, as long as they stay away from me or at the very least don’t attempt to socialize with me.
And sure, I probably do things people don’t like, but at least I don’t go around and make sure that everyone noticed these things I do. I prefer to live my life without being the center of attention. The less people notice me, the less I annoy them. Why can’t everyone be like this? Why are there always individuals that want to show how special they are?
Sorry, bub, but I did read your entire post. And you claimed that “It’s things like this that makes people dislike gays.” Yes, you later conceded that straights can act like that too, but would you also say “It’s things like this that makes people dislike straights”?
And you’re going to have to interact with and socialize with people that you don’t like. In fact, I’m willing to bet that you’ve already interacted with these “attentionwhoring freaks” in the past and never knew it…because they don’t act like that on a daily basis.
Man: “And here’s the man that saved your life.”
FBI Sniper: “Actually, we’ve met before, sir.”
President Kramer: “I don’t think so.”
FBI Sniper: “Oh we have, sir, somewhere…over the rainbow?”
It’s things like that that make people dislike people. No matter what race, sexuality, braincapacity, religion or culture.
If I’ve met those people already and didn’t notice, that means they weren’t all in my face about it, and thus I’m fine with them. Sure this might be subjective measuring, but it works for me.
I have a friend that used to be a guy and is now a girl (had a gender operation in Thailand last year). I’ve known him/her for little over 6 years now (back when she was a he). I know for a fact that she goes to those wild crazy parties to act all retarded, I don’t care, as long as she doesn’t act all retarded around me Im fine with that.
Edit: Whoop, sorry for this double post, thought I was replying :<
Yes, but you singled out homosexuals.
Then, they’re only “in your face about it” in very limited circumstances.
However, they have to put up with, on a daily basis, people that wish to oppress and repress them and take away or deny them their rights. So, pardon them if they take a day out of the year to walk around with a sparkling dildo in their hands. They do it BECAUSE it’s offensive and will piss people like you off–people that suggest that, “if only they acted more like me”…people like yourself that are “in their face”.
(Oh, and try not to double post. Use the “edit” button.)
They do it because they want to show the world that they’re with many and thus are normal as well. Way to show you’re normal.
That’s like a someone saying that he isn’t a murdering mofo and goes to kill 500 people because nobody believes him.
…
…what?
What’s there to “…what?”…
People acting like freaks do it because they want it to be socially accepted by everyone on earth, they want to show that they’re with many, they want to show that it’s not a rare phenomena.
And now for the analogy (and I’ll probably be called a massive racist for that, eventhough I’m not and this is merely an example):
It’s like a Muslim saying that the Islam isn’t evil and that they are tolerant… And if you don’t believe them, he’ll send a squad of suicidebombers your way.
To sum up:
- Freaks want to be accepted -> So they act like freaks.
- Muslims want to be respected -> So they blow people up.
AMMAGAD BOLTEH AM A RACIST FASCIST PIGLIKE CRETUR OF PUR HATE AND DISCRIMINAZIONZ!!!
I don’t think you’re a racist. I just think you’ve got some really strange and uninformed opinions brought about by arrogant ignorance of the subject.
If you’re willing to lay off the condescension, I’d be happy to talk with you about it, but right now, you’re acting like a freak.
It’s simple, I just don’t understand why people want to be special, act all crazy -AND- bug others (notice these 3 (three) requirements), who don’t want anything to do with it.
It wasn’t too long ago (well, New Year’s Eve) when I was down in Antwerp with my friends to celebrate the end of the year and welcome the new year. When a party of 4-5 -guys-, all dressed up in outrageous wigs, fluffy plumage and over-the-top-makeup step up to us and start rambling about how horny they are and how they want to have an orgy with all of us and how they think they’re so irresistibly sexy and hot. They bothered us for 10-15 minutes until we got back at the apartment, and then they just went to the next bunch of people they could find and do the same.
Is it really that hard to leave people alone? This had nothing to do with them being “oppressed” and “discriminated”, this was purely a bunch of idiots trying to annoy and irritate other people.
And hell, they don’t even have to dress up and look freaky to act retarded and annoy people. Random kids on the bus with big speakers blasting their shitty techno-music for the entire bus are equally annoying and retarded.
Do I get annoyed when one of those guys with the wigs-makeup-plumage are in the same room as me? No, I don’t care. Do I get annoyed when that same guys with the wig-makeup-plumage comes up to me and tries to seduce me? Yes, yes I do.
So, you’re against douchebaggery. So am I. And you’re acting like a douchebag, too, when you suggest that douchebaggery is why people dislike gays. And I don’t want anything to do with it.
