Nothing against gays here.

I had a roommate my freshman year of college who came out halfway through the year. Took some getting used to, but I think I'm a better person for the experience - especially since I knew him both "before" and "after" he was gay.

And no, he never hit on me.

Homoginized .... pasturized .... *ShruG* .... ain't they both the same? Wish the price would drop back down.

Homophobe question...

If you went camping with a friend and the next morning when you woke up your butt hurt, would you say anything, or be too embarrased and just keep quiet?

Alright, thanks, just wanted to get a general feel for the stance. I was wondering about that ban on gay marriage (which we wont get into) and was thinking what people thought about gays alone.

I'm with the whole "don't ask, don't tell" mindset. Go ahead and be happy and gay, just don't let me know about it.

Strange question but I'll answer. I dont have any problems with gay people at all. I think having an intolerence to something means that that individual can have an intolerence to something else or anything else. Bigotry is an individuals characteristic and part of his personality makeup and is solidified with his own maturity. Bigotry is not inherited but it can be learned or influenced in society or social groups. Some would says its a form of weakness derived from unresolved emotions or reflections of ones own outlook due to ignorance and driven by anger. I guess Im just a very tolerant person but Im no pushover either.

I would keep quiet while I dismembered him.

Coming from a relatively small town and moving to San Francisco I can say I had a little bit of a culture shock. The idea of homosexuality has never been an issue for me. Seeing it walking down the street took a little getting used to.

I've had many gay friends since then and I can safely say after 5 years in San Francisco not much shocks me anymore.

Anyone who's been to the Folsom Street Fair can say that I'm sure.

I only have a problem with them is if I see public displays of affection. I swear I nearly puked when I saw two guys kiss in public once. It was quite disturbing...still gives me shudders.

Well I dont know I grew up during a time when the issue of gays were on the media alot. Perhaps that has influenced me to be tolerant towards it.

I don't have a concern one way or another in regards to gays. What I don’t like about them, as a group, are the activists. These are ones who truly define themselves by their sexual preference. Like any group “with a cause” I really don’t care for the ones who wear their cause on their sleeve. The ones that all but dare you to say something. They set themselves up to be "oppressed" so they can use the reactions toward them to justify their obnoxious behavior (not sexual behavior).

The one thing that is missing from the olden days is modesty. It used to be bad manners to deliberately cause discomfort to others. Now it’s a tool to gain attention and reaction.

Whether you are gay, straight, left wing reactionary or right wing kook; whatever your cause if you chose to express it in such a way as to demand attention then you get what you deserve.
