Settle down. Rudeguy is trying to have a nice conversation (a little ironic, I know). You should at least reply respectfully instead of treating his opinions like shit.

I don't have a problem with queers, and I don't care if anyone thinks I am. There aren't too many people who's opinion I really care about anyway when you get down to it :^D

When I was younger and prettier I used to get hit on by dudes a lot. That made me a little uncomfortable, and it wasn't my favorite thing, but really not a huge deal in the end.

As far as ATOT goes... I don't think there's many here that have a real problem with homosexuals. The age demographic is on the low side, so there's an abundance of juvenile behavior, and dick jokes, but I don't think there's any real malice behind it. People just don't know when to stop, and they run a joke into the ground.

OK well if that's the case I wont take people making fun of my sexuality, I'm very comfortable with it, in fact I wouldn't be any other way, being able to find people attractive rather than one sex or another is a wonderful thing. Even if 7 year olds find it funny.

On a side note, when some people think your gay it can be really useful. For example getting rid of people who are homophobic, the stereotypical bully from secondary school for example tends to feel uncomfortable and leave you alone if you just pretend to fancy them. Also women are far more comfortable talking to you if your a bit more open about your sexual orientation, it goes down really well I've found.

I generally have a problem with gays in a way that they explicitly express their own view in a public place. Heterosexuals have no reason to show off their sexuality.

And, no, I am not one of those hard right wing nutcases.

Ummmm, yeah, you kinda are. How do you feel about heterosexuals who "flaunt" their own view in a public place?

I don't mind gays too much if they act somewhat like a normal person. I have a gay friend I have known since I was 10 years old and you would never know it if you met him and talked to him.

But those overly flamboyant guys are fucking annoying. It is ridiculous the way they act out and seem to make it a point that everyone around them know they are gay. That irritates me because I really don't think there is a valid reason for gay guys to act like that. It's almost as if they are trying to act like a sassy girl or something, and I don't think I have ever met a female that acts as crazy as those flamboyant gay guys.

I have never met a lesbian that bothered me. Even the really butch ones have all been pretty cool people.

Honestly I don't approve of the lifestyle but I don't have a problem with someone who is gay personally. My boss is gay.

I can understand this, I don't understand why when gay people get a cock up their arse they suddenly start speaking all gay if your going to be gay that's fine, but do you have to make it apparent to me as I pass you in the street...? no...

I don't want to see two straight people doing stuff in the bar bathroom just as much as I don't want to see a gay couple getting down. The gay community just seem to be more "open" in that aspect. Other than that I have no problem with who people want to have sex with. Just don't do it in front of me.

You're confusing gay people with flaming queens. There's a huge difference.

Thats very true there is, I'm over simplifying, but I don't understand what changes Joe gay Bloggs to Joe flaming queen Bloggs.

... what? that implies that there's a direct downgrade path from gay to flaming queen. there's not.

OK so are people either one or the other? (I have to add, I don't spend much time in the gay world as I'm engaged so this isn't my area of expertise)

flaming is a distinct attribute, separate from being gay.

me:
sexuality: gay
flaming: no
likes pizza: yes

you:
sexuality: straight
flaming: no
likes pizza: no

flaming might be more obvious among gays, but it's still a distinct attribute.

People also equate Blacks as ghetto rapper gang bangers.

There are NO other types of Black people out there! Not Obama, not Tiger Woods ... NOTHING. Only Lil Wayne and 50 cent. And they WILL rape you in broad day light.

Similarly, you can pick out the retards in this thread who think that the only visible gay people (the flamers) are the only ones that exist.

I gathered it was a distinct attribute, but my question suggested that you could in theory go from one to the other, thus (as you put it) downgrade, as surely all flaming gays start of as just gays do they not?
