Rob is pretty good looking actually.
I've noticed Nintendo fan-boys are usually pretty cute.
Who's this Scott guy though. Some Celebrity?
And yes to both of your posts.

Kind of surprised to hear that honestly, I expected more of Austria.

Also I'm hoping that in the future we can avoid entering the Privlidge Olympics with EmiPrime. No good can come from this discussion.

Who can really say though? Regardless of which group has more haters, my point was that plenty of gay people think straight sex is gross - it's not an exclusively straight phenomenon.
I suppose not. I just think it's extremely weird though.
(I have heard of straight women thinking that penises are gross or whatever, though, and that's equally weird to me)
Psh, exception to the rule
(again, haven't read the thread in question so I could be way off base)
But doesn't self-censorship go against the point of a forum thread on that very subject? I mean, if people went around in public saying "Gay sex is gross!" then I think it would be a problem, but on a discussion forum, I think people should be able to speak their minds.

I stands for Intersex. Its a new thing aparrently?
As in LGBTQI Thread but that ruins the brilliance of the thread title.

I wasn't necessarily talking about sex. Personally I don't find one grosser than the other, depends more on other stuff for me.
Most of the women I know find penises gross, what's up with that lol.
Really? I mean, we haven't even the right to marry people of the same sex here, as far as I know. And it's still okay for many media outlets like "Krone Zeitung" to make fun of crossdressing or transgender people here.
And his full name is??
I need his full name so I can google him.
Not new, but no one has brought it up before.

Because there's a character limit for thread titles and 'LGBT' is the most common/official acronym for the non-straight community.
LGBTQI
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (or Questioning), Intersex
sometimes they also add an 'A' in there for asexual. Also, P for pansexual. SA for straight allies. H for HIV infected. O for otherkin.
Oh okay, I didn't even know about that. I'm browsing the Wikipedia entry for intersex right now.
Okay now I'm checking the Wikipedia entry for Otherkin... man you learn something new everyday.

Relatively speaking I meant, of course.
Plus LGBThread is a neat thread title.

Remember the full acronym: Queer/Questioning|Undecided|Intersex|Lesbian|Transgender|Bisexual|Asexual|Gay
Or QUILTBAG. Yes, it's a ridiculous acronym, but it helps to remember the full "spectrum", of sorts. Barring stuff like genderqueer/two-spirit, etc.
Though I think if we kept tacking on letters to the title, we'd be better off as a "GSM" thread. I think it gets across the point as it is.
And being a straight woman does not erase your straight privilege, in which you don't have to worry about being treated as a second class citizen in the U.S., being fired from your job just for your sexuality, an extremely high rate of suicide, hate crimes, etc. And both sides have to worry about high rates of physical/sexual assault, street harassment, etc.
I fail to see the point of this argument. The U.S. has both a sexism and homophobia problem. Why do we have to play "privilege Olympics"?

He is just so cute.
I'm giggling like a little school boy/girl right now.
Damn. That beard, that face, that hair, that chest, that coat. Just... perfect. :O
I don't disagree with any of that, I just object to gay men claiming that they have it worse than women and that they don't benefit from male privilege which is blatantly untrue.
Even within the LGBT community itself gay men wield the most power, the rest of us just get the scraps. Being a man is the single biggest advantage anyone can have in life.

I offer: Y Tu Mamá También.
I'd give that title to "being born rich".
Money is power, after all.

Scott Porter?
And you've decided male privilege is stronger than straight privilege just like that?
Gay men can stay in the closet I guess.

Maybe in America. Places like in Africa and Russia being a man is irrelevant you still get the shit beat out of you for being gay or worse. Straights male and female are exempt from such treatment unless you're a supporter.
That is a good movie. Good recommendation,
It's warm in there anyway

Anyone like Ezra Miller?
He is beautiful, I think.
You could make an argument for either one however as a man you're far more likely to inherit said wealth and it's easier for you to accumulate it.

Those places are very different. That's why I dislike that some people think that because we've got equal marriage it's mission accomplished. Until people are free to express their gender however they want and to love whoever they want worldwide as well as the issues of homelessness, suicide and HIV are addressed, the battle isn't over.
So, remember the guy who I wanted to date and then didn't want to because I thought he was an asshole? Well, he isn't really, and he has a boyfriend, but he became my friend in the last few days, he is a cool guy.
Well, he was with his boyfriend in the city close to my town, they were at a park. Then the cops saw them and arrested them, while throwing insults and slurs at them and telling them that they "didn't have the right to be gay". They weren't even kissing there, they were just seated hugging. Well, they didn't take them to jail but they proceeded to steal their money and their mobiles and after that they set them free. They couldn't defend themselves and they were demanded to not go around that place anymore.
I feel so bad for them, and I'm angry because this represents the society I have around. If this happened in the city, I can't imagine how bad the situation is at my town. We're really behind on many things, I live in the 19th century in this place. Ugh.

The battle won't be over for a loooong time, people who claim that are ignorant. But this discussion about who has it worse is utterly pointless and doesn't help anyone.

I guess I can see an argument for him being unconventionally attractive, but that facial hair has got to go.
Tabasco, Mexico. The least progressive area of the country. Yes, fortunately they didn't beat them up but still this shouldn't have happened.
