Stop usin the whole "gays can hide who they are" WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HIDE WHO WE ARE. U want to use that defense. I'll use the Michael Jackson theory. Blacks can hide who they are simply by bleaching their skin to become white. After all it worked for Michael Jackson! He doesn't look one bit black, his hair even looks like a white persons. Hell he looks pretty damn white to me right next to Casper the friendly Ghost.
People make mistakes and say things we don't agree with all the time. I know the topic may be a sensitive one and you may have taken offense(not sure whether any was even really intended there) but imo I dont think it's necessary to make a whole new thread. We might all do that when someonesays something we take offense to and the board would be full of topics like this. I think you could have easily just responded to him in the thread itself. Consider keeping the emotions out of it too, it'll usually serve you and your case better no matter the topic. imo

Some are asexual, some have a specific organ (i.e. male and female sex organs) that have to be used with a corresponding one in order to reproduce. However, that is the scientific build of all species. That's normal. Now, homosexuals are attracted to the same sex (in my opinion, they are born this way). Obviously, they are going against the 'norm'. Is that a problem? No. Should they be ostracized? No. Its just how it is. Its the same way that child in India was born with like 5 arms and legs. Is that normal? No. Did it happen naturally? Yes. So variations from the 'norm' happen all the time, naturally, in life. I don't think the OP was trying to be condescending and as I explained it, I don't think it is...Originally Posted by AntonLaVey

You wouldn't care unless you had an issue with gay people. About people being gay as a way to act out...I like to believe there are easier ways of acting out than taking it up the poop shoot from another man. Anyhow thanks for the input.Originally Posted by TrueBlack88

1) Do you disagree with what I wrote in my paragraph? Because I believe he was trying to say what I did...but didn't say it as clearly. If that is the case, I don't understand what is offensive about it;
2) He said he believes SOME are faking it. He didn't say everybody. And personally, I agree. Some people are confused or are acting out for attention, i.e. some of the more flamboyant, look-at-me-type people who like to constantly announce to the world that they are 'gay'. I have witnessed some of these people. Unfortunately, they give a bad name for all the regular, everyday people who happen to be homosexual...
3) His last paragraph, eh. Seems like he has an issue with flamboyant homosexuals. I personally don't care and it doesn't affect me but if someone has an issue with flamboyant people who throw their sexuality in peoples faces at every turn, that doesn't, to me, mean that person is making a statement about homosexuality in general...
Like I said, maybe the post in question wasn't as eloquent as it could have been but there have been many, many, MANY more anti-gay, hateful, gay-bashing post on NT. I don't really see why you took time to single this guy out...
I do agree partly with what you said tho....I don't wanna go into an argument about what's normal and what isn't. Also check the other thread for what I believe about homosexuality from a biological perspective. I don't feel like going into that here. Either way it seems we both agree it is natural and they're born that way. Except the pseudogays that are "Acting out"
