Obviously, being a member of a group that's susceptible to bigotry doesn't automatically make one a non-bigot, but it should certainly help one see the illegitimacy of bigotry.

well, yea, I'm well aware bigotry is bad. that was never in dispute, was it?

As for gays wanting everybody to know they're gay, don't heterosexual people flaunt their heterosexuality? On a nice spring day in the park, don't we see heterosexual couples galore, letting everybody know that they're heterosexual couples? I might consider being in favor of asking gays to stay in the closet if heterosexuals could be asked to keep their heterosexual identities to themselves too--and I happen to be a heterosexual!

I've always felt people *should* keep it to themselves, regardless of whatever "it" may happen to be. Holding hands? Okay, don't mind that; gay or straight. But if you're gonna be snogging full speed, get a room. I don't care who's doing it, I've always been mildly irritated at people who feel the need to get it on in public.

NO comparison,....

...To liking to tickle women, compared to being a queer. -For instance, tell someone you like to tickle people, ok, cute, boring, whatever, next subject. ....Tell someone you're a queer, and that's an entire lifestyle to deal with. -There is no comparison to the 2.

...A guy that likes to tickle a girl is pretty much still normally socially acceptable, even cute to most. -A guy who likes being with other guys, etc. just isn't in a vast majority of situations, like it or not. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. I, personally, think it's gross, too. ...-If you see 2 men kissing, that doesn't make y'all cringe? I was in a movie a while back, packed full (no pun intended) with people, of all races, men, women, adults, kids. Well, there was a scene in it where 2 men kissed, the audience was gagging and "ewww"ing, ...that is a pretty good indication as to what bothers most people. -But I guess the majority opinion doesn't matter, huh?
...Not to mention, it's not biologically normal, re: can't have kids together naturally, etc., etc. etc.

...Anyway, I refer back to my first post on this subject now.


...P.S., God bless our troops fighting for us.

I stand by my previous opinion.

I will add that I didn't always feel this way, but I currently socialize in circles where gay and straight people get along beautifully, and I am just as comfortable now seeing two men kiss as seeing a man and a woman kiss. Thus, I have good reason to want all of society to follow this model, of treating homo and heterosexual relations as equally excellent and salutary. Because to those with the proclivity for homosexuality, that is what is natural.

And yes, I continue to say, those of us with proclivities that might be called deviant by others should be aware of the need to accept and respect persons with even those proclivities which seem strange to us.
