Pride Day: Your Views on Homosexuality?

[kid_kuh]

I'm happy for people who are happy about being excepted and welcomed for their choices. I would rather see someone in a healthy relationship, than a miserable one.

LGBTQ communities deserve our respect, love and appreciation.. they are part of the human collective... to dismiss them as "weird" or "gross" is just ignorant hate of people that are our brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers.. to ask of one day to celebrate them is not asking much... let them be.

I'm not a fan of seeing gay dudes make out in front of me.. But I don't hate them for it. There's a lot of things I would rather not see.. Pretty much all of the programming on TLC for instance..

You know , the SO makes me watch "four weddings"...I'm only semi-embarrassed to say I like that show now.

I don't have a cat (because that's gay ) but I would kill any motherfucker, regardless of race or sexuality, that hurt one of my dogs.

Really kind of true, the biggest anti gay fanatics are closet homosexuals.

Everybody does? I think you might want to review the definition of the word "everybody".

For many people: Everybody = Me

Let me throw this one out there.

Nobody has a problem when you see 2 women kissing. We're all turned on by it.

But everybody has a problem when they see 2 guys kissing. It's not pleasing to the eye.

I can't address 'everybody' & 'nobody' But if I see two beautiful women kissing, I'm turned on because I could enjoy the experience of inserting myself into the love making. If I see two guys kissing - there is no interest anymore than I saw two dogs humping in the park.

I am curious - do women get turned on if they see two good looking guys kissing ???

Yes some do. It is for exactly the same reasons that you stated above.

I've always thought that, and now there's a study which proves it.

I copied this from my reply to another thread.

Judging from some of the comments, I get the feeling some people are scared they might "catch gay" if they go to the parade. Sadly, it just goes to show homophobia is alive and well.

I've been in the past and always had a great time. My wife and I also have many gay friends and family and they're some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.

The next time you meet a homophobic guy, think about this study. Very telling!

Even a man who thought that women want to have sex with their fathers, and that women spend much of their lives distraught over their lack of a penis, is right sometimes. This person, the legend that is Sigmund Freud, theorized that people often have the most hateful and negative attitudes towards things they secretly crave, but feel that they shouldn't have.

If Freud is right, then perhaps men who are the most opposed to male homosexuality have particularly strong homosexual urges for other men.

One study asked heterosexal men how comfortable and anxious they are around gay men. Based on these scores, they then divided these men into two groups: men that are homophobic, and men who are not. These men were then shown three, four-minute videos. One video depicted straight sex, one depicted lesbian sex and one depicted gay male sex. While this was happening, a device was attached to each participant's penis. This device has been found to be triggered by sexual arousal, but not other types of arousal (such as nervousness, or fear - arousal often has a very different meaning in psychology than in popular usage).

When viewing lesbian sex and straight sex, both the homophobic and the non-homophobic men showed increased penis circumference. For gay male sex, however, only the homophobic men showed heightened penis arousal.

Heterosexual men with the most anti-gay attitudes, when asked, reported not being sexually aroused by gay male sex videos. But, their penises reported otherwise.

Homophobic men were the most sexually aroused by gay male sex acts.

I know I will get flamed for this but I don't support the Pride parades anymore - they have been hijacked by special interest groups and various divas intent on pushing the boundaries by flaunting their sexuality openly. Most of the gay people I know steer clear of Pride.

Though the funny thing is: the kinds of "special interest groups" that'd turn most of the gay people *I* know off Pride are big corporations--banks, mainstream media conglomerates, etc.

 

[gibsomstreet]

I don't care what they do but to have a parade for them, FUCK THAT. It brings out all the weird fucks.

So do Ford Fests.

 

[GameBoy27]

They are overrepresented compared with lesbians in
Pride. I like to see more chicks bare their butt in the
parade.

Like this?
