Americans Are So Homophobic

also the word retarted. this word used to be used a lot. it is just like people using the word gay to describe something.

 

definitely taxredound90, i agree

 

Maybe it's just me, but I cringe when I hear people use "gay" and "retarded" that way. When I was very young, I used the word "retarded" that way in front of a guy who I realized had a retarded sister. I thought about it for a moment and felt really miserable. If people decided to say "that's so African-American" in this situation, people would be jumping all over them and calling them racist.

Why not just say "that's so stupid" or "that's so ignorant"? Why drag some group of people into it?

 

A very funny article on this subject

From collegehumor.com

"Now I'm not one to be PC, the term alone is enough to make me want to beat a Muslim with a fetus. However, I feel I have matured enough to finally take a firm stand on the middle school definition of something that is sucky or... Gay. To be fair, a gay man can be very sucky --usually to another gay man or group of gay men. But the term gay as a synonym for ty, crappy, bad, or stupid has officially run its course. Like the O.C., it's O.ver.

First off, it's phenomenally rude. Do you think it would really fly with my brothers and sisters of color out there if someone asked you, "Hey did you catch that new John Stamos show Jake in Progress?"and you responded, "Nah, that looks totally African American." You'd be black soon too, friend. Black and blue. And how would all my sexy yellow Asian pals out there feel if someone asked you, "Hey did you ever read the Da Vinci Code?" and you responded, "Dude, reading is so Oriental." Not only would they tell you that Oriental is a type of rug or cuisine and not a person, but they would also hit you in the face with a stick of bamboo. Bamboo + BAM! = boo boo.

Secondly, have you honestly ever met a gay guy who wasn't cooler than just about everyone you know? They dress better than us. They do cooler drugs than us. Their drinks are stronger and more colorful. Their witty comments are far more hilarious than ours, and their zingers zing like the tangy taste of frikkin' Miracle Whip. You and I both know that gay dudes are always surrounded by gorgeous women who fawn over their every move and would gladly let them touch their tits.

I've seen like 53 gay guys just grab a chick's tits and the chick will laugh and laugh or make like she loves it and it's the hottest thing ever. When I grab a chick's tits I either have a lawsuit on my hands or far worse, a serious relationship!

How is it that the word gay became associated with something that wasn't cool? It's not like on Queer Eye the Fab Five come in and make your apartment look like the Jersey Turnpike. You know, really awful. They make it look great, awesome, dare I say fabulous! They buy you cool clothes, they save your hair from looking like it's the '90s, they make you hipper than you really are. Yet how do you reward Carson, Tom, Jai, et al? By saying that the hockey strike is so gay as is the whole damn sport as well as the entire nation of Canada.

Yes professional hockey sucks , but it is certainly not gay, sir! Granted there are grown men on ice skates, a lot of stick handling, and once those teeth are knocked out nothin' beats a gummy blowjob. But dammit, hockey is not gay.

I propose a new and improved term for things that honk. The next time one of your chums asks, "Hey are you going to go see Miss Congeniality 2 next weekend?" Why don't you try out my new patented buzzword for the blowworthy. "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous? Are you out of your mind? That looks completely CHRISTIAN." Let's face it. There is nothing less cool than Christianity. Try watching a little Trinity Broadcast Network for a while. Stick around for their hip-hop or skateboarding shows. Go check out Mel Gibson's The Passion Recut. Or better yet, chillax with the gang down at your local campus ministries program. Trust me, after 3 minutes of free pizza, bible reading, and the old hymn sing you'll say to yourself, "Jesus Christ these people are ing Christian!"

 

This is a double post and I apoligize, I am finding my way around.. I have an opinion. I don't think you are bad people. My opinion is that we should have a law that states that we must practice relations deemed worthy by God. This means that homosexual behavior would be illegal. That is my opinion. What do you all think?

Email me at - flahoopster2002@yahoo.com I would love to discuss this with you!!!

Please don't take this as hate, It is my personal feelings

 

hey No Way. welcome to the site.....

I think you are a total asshole and are likely brain damaged.

Pull up your shirt so I can unhook your feeding tube.

 

No way, I do not agree in your lifestyle. Its sick, evil, and wrong... I try to be sincere and you bash me. I guess that proves how evil you are. You should be ashamed of yourself.



flahoopster2002@yahoo.com <--- Email me, I'll help you change your lifestyle to a natural and normal heterosexual one.

 

Not only is it NOT sick, evil, and wrong, it is NOT my lifestyle! I am fairly certain you are refering to my sexual orientation. . .

Tell me, how would a law such as you proposed be effective whatsoever? Have you heard of separation of church and state? How does your law apply to heterosexual American Muslims, Budhists, etc, etc, etc?

 

You are trying to be sincere, and not hateful, by posting your anti-gay rhetoric in a gay forum?!?

How should we take it?

If anyone that disagrees with you is "bashing" you, perhaps you should post this in a homophobic forum, where everone will agree. . . since it sounds like you are only interested in persons reaffirming your ignorant notions, instead of engaging yourself in meaningful conversation.

Do you have a happy trail? If so, email ME, I bet I could change your "lifestyle" to a "natural" and "normal" homosexual one!

(see how absurd that is!)

 

i think homosexuality isnt a choice, i dont know how or why but gay people are meant to be gay.

 

I guess that means murderer's are meant to be murderer's?

 

hey No Way. welcome to the site.....

I think you are a total asshole <-------Your opinion... Fine here....


and are likely brain damaged.

Pull up your shirt so I can unhook your feeding tube.<-------Bashing....

Nope, no disagreeing there. Thats bashing.... Caught in the act.. You are wrong again...

 

About 30 years ago, the religious right launched a campaign to convince the public that gay people could be "cured" by science and magically become heterosexual. Their thinking was that if they could prove that gay people can change, then there would be no reason to have laws protecting the civil rights of gay people. The problem? The American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics all say that this talk of science curing "exgays" is all bunk. What's really going on here is that the folks preaching the ex-gay gospel say they're motivated by science, but they're really motivated because they simply don't like gay people. They're religious fanatics who think all gays are going to hell, or they're political activists who think all gays are pedophiles who don't deserve a fair shake at the American dream. Either way, they're simply using false science to justify their prejudice. In America, the "ex-gay" proponents have every right to hate gay people. But they don't have the right to claim they're speaking in the name of science when they're simply trying to force other Americans to live under their own "religiously correct" view of the world.

 

Murder removes, among others, ONE VERY IMPORTANT part of the equation . . . CONSENT!

 

Maybe true but not applicable here... Flawed again..

 

Ever hear of Dr Kevorkian? Flawed again...

 

your a red neck, did u even graduate highschool? im not gay but i feel it right for me to point out homosexuality is a victimless activity as long as its consenting.

i dont think the gays are planning to tap your ass so why dont u shut the fuck up.

 

Like you said, you are new here. . . you just don't know SeaMonster's sense of humor, but, like I asked, what did you really expect when you proposed this question in a gay forum? Especially since you are not an established member, and you have an incomplete profile. You have given EVERY indication that you expected to be bashed, up to and INCLUDING trying to excuse yourself by calling it sincere feelings and not hate.

Its like starting a comment with, "No offense, but. . . "

 

Look at who is getting violently upset? I thank you for proving my point and future points. I 'll save this to use in my quotes..

 

It is VERY applicable here, RE-READ your SIGNATURE!!!
