| joeblow69 Member  946 Posts 2/00 |  Posted - Jun 4 2001 : 10:42PMIs it getting easier to be gay in America? Just when I start to get the feeling that Americans are becoming more accepting of gays and lesbians, I read something that just gets me depressed again. I was cruising around kiddie dvdtalk.com in the Other forum section, where there are always at least 3 or 4 long threads debating the evils of homosexuality. Sure, there are a few people in those threads who quote bible verses, and say we're going to burn in hell, but it is a little refreshing to see there are also quite a few people in there standing up for tolerance, and try to open people's mind about homosexuality. But, as I read these threads closely, they all seem to be talking about acceptance of homosexuality... with a condition. "As long as they're not out and flamboyant about it, it doesn't bother me" or "As long as they don't hit on me." I got to thinking... why the hell can't we be out and flamboyant about it? Why do we need to continue to hide in the closet and pretend we're "normal"? What is so bad about a big nelly queen running down the sidewalk waving a rainbow flag? And why are straight men so terrified of getting hit on by gay men? Women have to deal with unwanted advances all the time, and you don't hear them whining about it! Seems like these people want to live their lives with blinders on. We can do whatever we want in our private lives, just as long as they don't have to hear about it or see it. Do they have any idea how hard it is to even have a conversation on a day to day basis with someone and NOT somehow mention you are gay? Straight guy: So how was your weekend? Sorry for the rant. I feel a little better now. [Link] |
