THIS is a topic on another forum I frequent. (Pages 9-10) Somehow they started talking about homosexuality and I encountered a lot of homophobia. So I spoke up. Here's my views:
"If a homosexual is making unwanted advances, usually a quick "Im sorry, Im not like that" will suffice. Most of them I know aren't obnoxious enough to continue to harp on someone with unwanted advances. And I have a lot of homosexual friends. I'm not afraid of them, and I don't understand what the big effing deal is. So they like the same sex. Wow. What's so different about that? I dunno, I was raised to be very openminded, so I guess I just can't see the big issue here. Homosexuality has been around for so long, it's suprising all the homophobic attitude I see still.
Someone mentioned to me that he didn't like the fact that they had "Gay parades" and such. That they were shoving it in everyone's face. That's just the same as people parading around as "tree huggers" or strippers even! If we want to parade around naked whipping ourselves with bullwhips, so the hell what? Big deal! Don't like it? Don't pay attention. Don't tell me they're forcing you to participate or even watch, because it's not like they're taking over the television or whole cities at a time. They're just celebrating another part of life, and that's all it is people. Come on now. This is 2006, not 1956."
So this is my opinion. It is really important to me to surround myself with people who are accepting and openminded on issues like this. I'm really interested in the views on this website.
What do you think about homosexuality?
Is it "bad"?
Do gays shove it in our faces?
etc....
