So it is the vendors that are perverted, not the entire gay population or the parade.

It's clear you have problems man. I made a sincere gesture in my last post and i'll make one more: Move past your hatred. This is the United States, there's room for all of us here. Good Luck to you.
I don't want your "sincere gestures," if that hasn't been made clear enough.

I despise you.

You're telling us that you're exposed to gay public sex throughout the Dallas-Ft. Worth metro area for an entire week every year? Honey, you're about as homophobic as they come. Or maybe you're hallucinating.

If I don't like something, then I look the other way. No one is forcing you to look. You seem really obsessed with homosexuality.

Yeah, and guess what? Your religion has no place in politics, so stop your b*tching. Look at the destruction you people have caused, the sickness and discrimination you have spread because of your "beliefs." I applaud any and all who make a mockery of the lifestyle of Christianity, because it's done as a reaction, not as an offensive attack. And you know what? You deserve it.

Wow. This thread managed to get 16 pages? Hmm, I find it rather sad that the OP would even attack a gay poster. The problem isn't straights. It's you. None of the gay members here have the same ugly attitude. Seek help, seriously.

Ok, I see that you have made a new account so let's take this from ideology to practicality. What steps do you think we should take to establish your perfect world (Im still trying to figure out what that is)? To rephrase that, when should all of us heteros (and gays who are also somehow persecuting you)begin our mass-suicide?

Mods, can you please close this thread? I do believe setting up multiple accounts is against the rules.

I can decide what's healthy and normal for myself. I don't care what you think in regards to the state of my person. It's not your concern.
First off, you did state the definitions...In one post you mentioned they were all defined in the 1950s. Secondly, by making this entire thread, you clearly have the constructs and definitions in your head. So not only by your own admission, but also your actions, you defined sexuality.

Thirdly, it is apparent to most posters that you are not in a healthy mental state. With the sole purpose of creating an account to stir controversy, it is not healthy behavior.

Fourth, it seems that you do care what others think since you posted your controversial opinions on the internet. You obviously do care otherwise you would not have called people "part of the problem". If they agreed with you 100%, then you would satisfied. Hence people did not, you got upset. Truly not caring would reflect no change in attitude and behavior.

Fifth, look I'm just reading your posts and it seems that you really don't have a healthy outlook. But hey, that's okay. My life goes on.

That was society's definition, not mine. I was calling attention to the way society has handled sexuality. And working within those definitions I have constructed this thread because that's the reality that most people adhere to.

Again, I'll be the judge of this. Controversy is created on this forum all day, everyday. Just because I am more explicit and overt in the way I feel and what I express doesn't make me any more or less controversial than any other member posting here. Deal.

I said I don't care what you think about my mental state. All you are seeing is text on a screen. My attitude and behavior have not changed.

And I became "upset" because people decided that they were going to jump to conclusions about my thread from the get go, as evidenced by "teatime" and that person's ridiculous contribution. From there, it became this, so fine.

Yes, your life does go on, and hopefully it'll take you some place where everyone - both gay and straight - holds hands and sings "Kumbaya." Of course, I have no reason to believe that it would not be THC-induced.

I think most straight people actually deserve a lot more credit than they're getting.

In the year 2000 in California, the voters passed Proposition 22, which said we would only recognize male/female marriages from other states. This was before same-sex marriage was even being discussed as a possibility in California. The law passed with 62% in favor of it, 38% against.

Fast forward to 2008. Same-sex marriage was a REALITY in California. Proposition 8 came along (an amendment to the California Constitution which would define marriage as only between a man and a woman), and it passed with 52% voting in favor of it. But 48% of the people voted against it and wanted to keep same-sex marriage legal!

Look at how things have changed. In just 8 years, the anti-same-sex-marriage side lost 10 percentage points. If their movement had any momentum at all, they would have GAINED support, not lost support, especially considering that same-sex marriage in California was now a reality. With numbers like these, the future for their side looks bleak.

You've got to look on the bright side of things. Being pessimistic is counter-productive, and it also makes you feel like crap. Why live like that?

You're speaking about voting patters, not the individual experiences of gays and lesbians. I am focused on the subtle, micro level. You keep emphasizing the mass change, and I am telling you that that is irrelevant in a culture that does not want us here.

If you have a partner, go outside and take in the sights while holding hands, perhaps dry-kissing each other occasionally (everything in good taste, like a heterosexual) and see the kind of attention you receive. Then come back and tell me how much progress we are making.
