I've read the post you're referring too multiple times and find nothing offensive about it. Spiderbear did not say or imply male same sex-activity was unnatural or gross. Where did you get that and where did you get that they were revealing a double standard within themselves. You're inferring a whole heck of a lot. Society might have one but that doesn't mean they do and thus I don't see why in the world the OP would be offended by that post.

Well, I found something offensive about it.

Then hon, no offense, but you offend too easily if you are getting offended over something a poster neither wrote nor implied.

It's been culturally implied and reinforced, and, for me, it was corroborated by his post.

Spiderbear said nothing negative in thier post about gay men kissing.
They actually SUPPORTED the original poster.

Then you come along, make a negative comment ATTRIBUTE IT to Spiderbear and say you are insulted?

It makes as much sense as me calling your quote above racist.
Now stop being such and angry panda...there is enough REAL discriminatory stuff about gays out there without having to make stuff up and attacking innocent bystanders.

You will not silence my convictions, and you will not take them away from me. I stand by what I wrote. Spiderbear "supported" a display of homosexual activity between women because it gets him off. He is supporting sex, not their union, and reinforcing the cultural idea that same-sex sexuality between women is "hot," while that between men is something to vilified and condemned. I never said he said anything negative in his post about sexual expression between men.

I have the right to be insulted, and I will be insulted for Purplelove, even if she isn't. And I don't care if I'm the only one that is.

To the OP, no you're not wrong. Tell her to find her own ride.

No, godsave, you do not know any of that. Your experience may lead you to feel that that's the implication but you don't know any of it.

Facts not in evidence as I'd say in the politics forum.

It is all conjecture. Worse, what you are doing right now in regards to spiderbear's post is the very thing that many do to gays.

Example: Well, I knew a man down the road that molested little boys therefore he must be gay and THEREFORE all gay men are child molesters.

You are insulted over something that happened only in your own mind. You've made links in your mind that are not supported by a shred of fact. And you are damning someone for things they didn't do.

My own experience is enough for me. And here is further proof of the point. Post #21:

Why isn't the gay community furious with Bruno

That post cracked me up but beyond that... And? Really, AND?

If you are going to assign motives, beliefs, intent and feelings to everyone with a broad sweeping brush then why bother talking to anyone? I'm serious. That mentality is no better than the mentality I've seen you talk about in reverse on other threads. You are being every bit as close minded and assuming as those that do the same to you because you are gay. But that you dislike.
