Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27105855 For instance, if I know you're gay, and you're talking to me; what ever you say, i'm like, "right....." because if you're gay, then I know everything else you perceive is false. So being gay makes everything I see or say is false. Why is that? Because you believe being gay is a normal thing. It's not. So i know if you belive that, wth else do you believe? Just for the sake of argument, lets' say that I really do believe that homosexuality is normal, and that it is wrong. How does being wrong about one thing therefore make a person wrong about all things? Ok you're right. We've got my original post all twisted up. Thing is if you're gay, I don't care what you have to say. |

If you had never seen your mother kiss your father and you never had a grandmother who demanded a kiss on the cheek every time she came over to visit, you would grow up never knowing there was such a thing. If every time you got kissed by your grandmother she immediately proceeded to slap you across the face you would associate the act with hate and violence instead of love and tenderness. Years ago when a fag walked by your father would say, "Look at that dirty queer," in a disgusted tone. On TV if they were portrayed at all, they were portrayed as vile degenerates, perverts, kidnappers, molesters. Today your dad is mostly silent and on TV the queer is the brave hero of the story.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26551418 United States 11/11/2012 03:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a generational thing I think... Quoting: KonspiracyKitty Also, it's "cool". People love to show off how tolerant they are. One of my non-muslim college professors was talking about how beautiful a religion Islam is, how many Qu'rans she owns and bragging about how she hasn't spoken to her sister to this day because she said something "racist" about muslims a few days after 09/11/2001. She was quite proud. Or the white girl I heard proudly proclaiming how she never voted before but she was going to this time because it was so important to keep a black man in power. Those are more extreme examples, but I think the sudden acceptance has something to do with that phenomenon. Popular culture today has this ideal where worshiping anything they view as a "minority" or as "oppressed" is some sort of holy rite. As far as my personal beliefs, seeing two guys kissing or getting it on makes me want to puke, but I feel no animosity toward someone because of their sexual orientation and would never express any ill-will toward a homosexual for just being gay. I believe homosexuality is a biological thing in the vast majority of cases, and in cases where it's a choice, it's none of my damn businesses and I've no right to judge. I find it disgusting watching straight people or gay people kiss in public |

But everyone is required not to ACT on how they feel. Quoting: Thor's Hamster I'm not asking that. I'm asking whether this recent transition in the attitude of straight men towards gay men is authentic or a put on. You may despise blacks, but not act on that. Does that comfort the black man? My concern is gay men are simply taking straight men to literally, and not seeing that they are tolerating us, but not accepting homosexual expression as a legitimate form of love. I do think I'm onto something here. It's the same as with the Great Depression. The generation that grew up with the Great Depression remembers.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25149280 United States 11/11/2012 03:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK. So I'm 40 years old, and I came out when I was 16, which means I came out when being openly gay was socially marginalizing, if not downright dangerous to your physical person. This threat came almost exclusively from straight men, and it was the social norm. Since then, this new attitude towards homosexuals has arisen in many quarters, and I must say it has made life easier for me in many key respects. However, in spite of this, I can't say I entirely buy this overnight epiphany that straight men have allegedly had regarding gays, especially gay MEN. Quoting: riffraffrocks Homosexuals have been treated like social lepers, if not as downright evil incarnate for the past 2000 years. Don't you think it's odd that straight men SUDDENLY got over it? I'm personally pretty skeptical, and don't think this is a change in behavior due to moral conviction, but rather to the fact that it's been made fashionable by the mass media to be cool to gays. Also, straight women have never cared the way straight men do, and since they have so much clout today I think straight men have just caved in to being cool, so their girlfriends don't get mad at them. Am I the only gay guy that thinks this? It feels phony to me. I just don't believe them. How about this, you fucking troll.... if you are gay, fine... just dont try and fuck my 10 year old son, or push your agenda on me. Then we gat along just fine... and by the way, no real man that I know excepts your deviant lifestyle as "normal". So shut the fuck up and go back in the closet. |

It was only removed from the DSM due to protests by homosexuals - but that doesn't change that it is still a mental disorder. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22104307 People are naturally going to be adverse to mental illnesses, but if a culture promotes some mental illness then that aversion can be mitigated. For example, cultures have considered schizophrenics to be shamans or "touched" by God. In India people will various deformities are thought to be touched by various deities. Lucky for you, in the US, the culture-makers have tried to erase people's natural hatred towards your mental illness. This sort of brain-washing takes time, but don't worry, it isn't fake. Your attitude nowadays would be viewed as mental illness. Your inability to accept that you have homosexual feelings Historically the indigenous tribes views homosexuals are "2-spirited" and they were often valued by the community |

There are gay characters in our UK soaps and everyone accepts them as they are, even the characters that you would think would be naturally homophobic in real life, and it does'nt really ring true to be honest. On the other hand, this helps to make being gay more acceptable, so the pragmatist in me does'nt mind this. I only began coming out to people a couple of years ago and i was pleasantly surprised that not one person, including those i was worried about, were hostile towards me.
