I'm not repulsed by gay men and feel that what goes on behind closed doors is your business. What does make me and a lot of people uncomfortable is when a gay man portrays himself as a woman in public. Sexual preference is one thing. Acting like a flamboyant homosexual is another.

Certainly not in every instance, but it is far from uncommon.


"Sometimes people are threatened by gays and lesbians because they are fearing their own impulses, in a sense they 'doth protest too much,'" Ryan told LiveScience. "In addition, it appears that sometimes those who would oppress others have been oppressed themselves, and we can have some compassion for them too, they may be unaccepting of others because they cannot be accepting of themselves."

The vast and sad ingrained mental issues that most homosexuals pre-2000 suffered from is uncomfortable to witness. Also, the vast and sad methamphetamine use. Perhaps now that their piddling acts are being normalized, all that madness may recede and most can become as one with the background where most anxious-to-please-and-to-be accepted, innocently despised people belong after the novelty horror wears off and the reflexive disgust from the mainstream populace is diluted.

Because the sad truth about human sexuality is that, subtracting social pariahdom, bisexuality is the human norm, not the fluke desire. Who wouldn't want to have intimate relations with those they like whatever their gender? People scared of anal sex hurt or the lack of a penetrating device? It is the 21st century, please...

I really don't care what people think, I was trying to establish what makes them so uncomfortable, because it really is none of their business.

Do you think most gays are atheists then? Honest question.

Hetrosexuals can't understand being attracted to one of the same sex. On the other hand I can't understand people being attracted to people of the opposite sex. I don't condemn them for it though. I find being gay normal for me and not for others. I really don't expect most to understand that but there is no reason to fear, homosexuals are not out to "convert" other to their lifestyle. You can't convert me to be hetro and I certainly cannot get a hetrosexual to become gay. Stop being afraid of something you don't understand.

There are gays who changed even if society and the gay lobby say they can't. Would you be open to getting the therapy they went through if that therapy did help them to change?

It's not hate, it's concern, deep concern when the meaning of marriage is changed from what it has been since the beginning of marriage.

I don't think that marriage between same sex partners is a big deal as long as there are civil unions (same thing in my opinion). My biggest difference is people thinking there is a choice of some sort involved. I did not choose to be homosexual as others did not choose to be hetrosexual. I don't believe guys on this thread who say they are hetrosexual and get hit on all the time by homosexuals. I know 99% of the time who is homosexual just by looking at them. You can see it in their eyes. Its not that they are feminine because some aren't, I being one of them. No hetrosexual has asked me if I am gay but gay guys know right away. If gays are hitting on a hetrosexual all the time that person must act gay because gay guys don't try to convert others. We all need to be more tolerant of others groups if it be race, sex, orientation or whatever. People are people and they cant change who they are. If you hetrosexuals have a son or daughter who tell you they are gay I bet most of you would change your opinion, not right away but over time. Hopefully it won't come to that, maybe you can change your opinion anyway. I don't wish homosexuality on anyone because I know the discrimination and mental anguish one goes through while trying to accept themself. Once that is acheived it is easier and if others around them accept them it is better.
I guess you need to explain it more, see it in their eyes? Sometimes I see guys and think they are gay just by the way they present themselves. I read that gays did signal others secretly when gays were really unaccepted to find out if the other was gay, if straight, the person would not know what they wanted. True or do you know?


Hey, I think most parents when learning their son or daughter is not straight would still accept them and love them even though it would be a shock and hard at first. One of my friends is doing just that. They belong to a group of parents whose children have come out to support each other. Her son has "married". They didn't go to the "marriage" since they don't consider it a marriage but they still accept him and his partner.

Exodus international has closed down and apologized to the gay community, because they have admitted that people cannot change their orientation ..

"The damage caused by Exodus to countless gay teens over the last thirty years cannot be fixed by the apology of one man, but it is a great starting place. I didn’t see the need for Alan in his apology to double down on his particular interpretation of the Bible, but it’s understandable if not wholly constructive.” Anti-gay organization apologizes to LGBT community

I do not understand your concern. Gay marriage works just fine everywhere it has been implemented...How do you think it will effect heterosexual marriages?
