Let's see how this turns out.

The poll is anonymous, and all responses are welcome.
????????????????

I am puzzled as to why anyone would pose such a question.

It's crystal clear that many of the social/religious conservatives who post on here believe that gay men and women are deviant, unnatural, abnormal people who they believe to be inferior to them. I think the OP just wanted to hear them actually say it (and according to the poll, 25 have).

I almost gave this the 'post of the day' award...

Accept...the word or idea of 'inferior' got me to thinking...

I use to get very 'queezy' around gay people, or people I thought were gay, or when gay males showed an interest in me...(years and years ago)...

But even when I was 'homophopic'...I never felt they, gay people, were 'inferior'...

Rather it was all about how they, gay people, made me feel...

The power or control my 'fear' of them, had over me, was humungious...

As a 'hetro' guy, being around gay males, back then, totally 'robbed' me of my 'role'...

My sense of self totally depended on me being the 'hunter', not the hunted...

Having your identity disrupted like that, hit's at your very core...

Everything comes back to self, and how one relates to self...

I don't think Homophobes think 'gay' or 'gayish' people are inferior, rather gay or gayish people force others to examine themselves, their own identities, and that's what's scary for most...

And so to protect that identity, people lash out...

You tell me better than what or at what and I will try to vote. Otherwise, I just can't do it.

I visited a gay bar once...and women were there too...

And I found the enviornment to be 100 times more relaxing than a hetro bar...

And no, nothing happened...but it's like people just let you be 'free'...

There was no false macho pretenses...you could be you...macho, wimpy, colorful, whatever...and no one judged, at least not openly...

It was very liberating...no tension, like at hetro bars...

It wasn't so much about sexuality, as it was about 'enviornment'...

No fights, no jeliousy...I could approach anyone and talk about whatever...

And that's what people don't get...same sex attraction encompasses so much more than comic book antics...it's also a 'enviornment' of honesty...

Where you can explore your own bounderies without being picked on or scolded...

But in all fairness...it was just one club, at one place...I have no idea how other same sex clubs are...

Maybe I just picked a good one to go to that night...and I went home alone...

But while there, was allowed to have fun and be myself.



They understood I wanted to be 'me'...not nessicarily gay...but me...

Where as the rest of society would of told me 'Oh, your acting so gay'...

They, at that gay club, just let me be...

Cause they all understood what it was like to be persicuted and or mislabled...

Hetro males have no idea...and therefore lack certain depth...

This actually isn't the same guy who makes new gay threads everyday. And besides, look at the OP, this post was made more than 2 years ago and it was suddenly revived. Back then the Human Sexuality issue was rarely discussed here.

You just reminded me of an experience my sister-in-law had in one of those places. She went to the rest room and a dyke approached her and informed her that one night with her would make her forget her husband. My brother got her out of that place pretty quick.

I bet anybody here who knows that part of KC, Mo would know the name of that bar. Lots of straights went there just to see the floor shows.

I have two Marine buddies who, every time they're back in town, insist I take them out to gay bars and clubs with me (places I rarely go). They love them because drinks at gay bars are universally strong and cheap and they find it the best place to pick up chicks being that they're unsuspecting.
