the bottom line for me is I dont give a fuck who is gay. Once you start shoving the gay agenda down peoples throats though I will tell you to shut the fuck up. Be gay, who cares, be straight, who cares, but shut up and live your life, no need to announce it to everyone.
Everyone was new to Getbig at some point. Welcome. Ignore my previous sarcastic response.
Good....you shouldn't care who is or who isn't gay or any variable thereof. Likewise, I don't care who is straight or not. Whether gay or straight, this does not define a person except pertaining to their sexual orientation, IMO.
I also agree that one should not announce their sexual orientation to everyone just for the heck of it. People sometimes ask others whether they are gay or they are straight, besides that it is usually none of their business, an honest answer is generally preferable to a lie.
Here's the rub. Straight people are not oppressed only because of their sexual orientation. Straight people don't suffer violence, denigration and hate just because they are straight. If they did, they would be faced with the same choice to lie about it, simply hide "in the closet" or be upfront. Gay Pride parades and the like are simply push back as the result of decades gross oppression, which largely began during Victorian times.
"Reams of historical evidence confirm that homosexual behavior has existed for at least thousands of years, and it is logical to assume that homosexual acts have been occurring for as long as human beings have walked the earth. But only when capitalist society in the late nineteenth century created the potential for individuals to live outside the nuclear family was the modern conception of a gay identity born. The oppression of gays and lesbians, therefore, is a fairly recent phenomenon."
http://www.isreview.org/issues/37/gay_oppression.shtmlThe ridiculous notion that gay folks seek to recruit straight folks into their fold, must have no idea what it means to be gay. "I'm here and I'm queer, get used to it," doesn't mean I'm here and I'm queer, have sex with me.
