well, the whole lot of you have managed to be baited by aka in this thread -- AGAIN. he does this shit in every single homosexuality thread, and per usual, been banned.
i should note that he is, in fact, a recovering drug-addict. so he's not right in the head. he's even server-banned from OA, for the last 6 months to boot. if that doesn't show you how deranged he is, then nothing really will.

Guys, guys... we're not focused nearly enough on the idiocy of conservative Texas redneck idiots. To get back on track, what say a friendly mod bans Olimario?
...well for one, something doesn't have to be "the same" just to remind you of some other thing.
And why wouldn't it remind him of that? It's just out-and-out broad discrimination and dehumanization without any regard to the merits of the individual as a person.
And on another note....there's a difference between say, "I hate smokers" and "I hate gay people". A smoker by definition engages in the act of smoking, so fine, hate the act. A gay person isn't defined by any action, simply a state of being. Sure, a lot of gay people do engage in gay sex, but some don't, and a lot don't until a considerable age. Does it take having sex to know what your sexual attraction is? Of course not. I "came out" to my parents at age 14...naturally, their reaction(at least the least enraged one) was "It's a phase"...clearly it wasn't, and at the time I knew it wasn't, but hey i'm only 14 so I conceded(and I guess at the time, hoped, since one already knows at that age the hate/rejection "being gay" can lead to) that it was just a phase. I had the feelings I had long before I told my parents, and obviously ever since then...I didn't even entertain the idea of actually being sexual(read: not sex, sexual) with another male until a year after I graduated high school, I was 18yo, and as far as actual sex goes, when I was 19yo. So...I wasn't "gay" until 18/19 years old? Ridiculous. What about a dyed in the wool devout religious guy who is a virgin and is attracted to women but is waiting until he's married...he isn't heterosexual because he hasn't had sex with a woman?
Anywho, I just get annoyed at people who try to diminish discrimination against homosexuals when very plausible comparisions to racism are made. So what if skin color is more obvious than one's sexuality...it doesn't make it any less valid.
What bothers me, and gay people do this too, is that when you say "i'm gay", automatically that's supposed to subcribe you to a set list of activities, behaviors, and interests. I'm not a fucking manual. I'm not a fucking checklist. I didn't come from any "gay mold" and I didn't go to any gay university. I like simple clothing, i'm reserved socially, I like to cook, I like electronics, I like videogames(natch), I don't like to shop for clothes, I don't have a lisp, I like violent movies, I don't cross-dress, and shock of shocks, I don't like anal sex. But how can this be, you're gay...according to clause 69-BF "You're a fag....you gotta pound butt and/or get yours pounded and like it...failure to do so will result in immediate seizure of your gay card". Screw that(no pun intended)...i'm very self aware. Spoiler for tact...nothing explicit, but could venture into TMI territory.
I've been a top(several times with the same person), i've been a bottom(several but less times with the same person I had topped....first time though was with different person, only once). Tried it, tried to enjoy it....had nothing to do with the other person as sexual compatiiblity on all other fronts was extremely high(the only reason i even considered eventually trying to go further). So i've just come to realize the act itself does nothing for me. It's empty and sterile(well obviously biologically it's sterile...sterile as in passionless)....it felt mechanical. Didn't really turn me on.
So this makes me a minority(i'm black and gay so i'm used to it)among gay men...especially considering i'm only 23, and well, clause 84-YS states that you must be a constantly-cruising, sexed-crazed circuit-boy until you become a senior citizen(35yr old).
I guess my point, buried somewhere in there, is that "being" gay as perceived as a typical str8(oh how i hate the term straight) person, automatically attaches you to acts you may or may not be into, have done, or will do. It's the "act" they claim to have a problem with, yet simply "being" is what illicits the negativity. I'm as vanilla as they come...i'd be perfectly content if I never engaged in anal sex again, but damn if i'd be able to adopt a child in Texas if I were perfectly eligible otherwise. Spare me the "I don't have a problem with gay people, I just don't think they should be able to...." denial. You do have a problem with gay people, because you have a problem with gay sex, and that disgust is transfered to the person regardless if they actually engage in gay sex or not, because you assume that to be the case even though you wouldn't know that detail up-front because it is private.
look I was just making a point that if even both are discriminations they aren't comparable, the simply fact that one is based in your skin color(something that's part of your body) is reason enough to be worst than a discrimination based solely on a sexual preference.
Sorry but like I said before my english is limited to technical concepts, nad even if I have some point to discuss I can't type them ver well
