Well, part of being accepted is dispelling myths, so I dont agree with your assumption. It may have been relevant in the 50s and 60s, but the sad fact is, with acceptance comes normalcy, and there is truely nothing special about being considered normal.
I post on a lot of threads that dont hit a nerve. I posted on the Pluto thread, and there was nothing there to strike a nerve, lol. I have absolutely nothing against Pluto - never did.
On that note:
Doesnt the study also point to most uncloseted homosexuals - those that eventually came out - having one time been a homophobe themselves? It would seem if the study holds water - that would also be true.
I know there are many older gay people that never were in the closet, and I can only salute their bravery. It wasnt easy prior to the 70s and 80s being openly gay, especially the further you got away from gay epi-centers like NYC and SF. I doubt it is that much more easy today for a young person growing up in rural environment to truely be openly gay.
I guess any denial in regard to preserving their own privacy and safety could be called, "homophobic" even today?...I dont know.
Its cool to pick a topic thats a coin with 2 sides. It makes room for discussion, IF discussion is truely possible. *shrugs*

The nerve you speak of has been addressed.
there is a thread on the first page of a clearly ignorant person asking a question about the media pushing a gay agenda on the public. This is clearly a question that needs to be addressed from the perspective of some trying to gain knowledge. Instead of responding to him, everyone uses it as an opportunity to show their alliance with the gay community. Only one person addressed his question. And the op of this thread strolls in with the iq of a gnat and made some empty contribution and shortly after opens this thread. That is what they call being a nuisance. I have gay friends and thankfully they are normal. They aren't insecure and don't feel the need to discuss their sexuality at every whim or push it on other people.
Again I have nothing against gays, I just think it's silly to label folks that don't give a ****.... That says more about you than the people you're accusing. This is a Faceless message board and I've learned long ago not to care about the opinions of randoms. So interpret my posts however you want. Lol. I don't give a flying ......

All I said was it hit a nerve with you which could be telling From there you took it to mean that I was calling you gay. I don't know you I didn't make a definite statement I said could.

I guess my position on police brutality, based on the line of reasoning presented by these very nice people, means deep down, I want to be a police officer? I mean what sort of school system ...ahhh nevermind.

Maybe you do, if you feel you have a better idea, or could have handled a situation better. Maybe its a career choice you are overlooking.
I have no idea what kind of school system you were in, sorry.
Most of us couldn't care less about gay issues. That doesn't make us gay any more than it makes us straight.
