ok i don't want to sound gay here, but ther'e sno way to avoid doing so in this sort of postion but, have you ever noticed how nice gay people are. ... but i'm saying i just don't understand what people have agsinst them.
Acceptance rate of gays, males vs. females is something like 20% to 60% (rounding). So basically, it's mostly teenage males that are homophobes. Why? For some reason a lot of males think that gay people will hit on them. And men tend to have a great deal of insecurity about their own sexuality.
I mean, really, they (gay people) can do much,
much better than some stupid redneck, or an intolerant acne covered twit, (including some of those who responded to the post). Also, there's that religious thing, saying it's 'wrong' and all that... (the bible is chock full of inconsistencies though, so it's hardly an end-all)
To get back to why I'm quoting this, YES, they are most certainly the nicest people. Many of my friends are gay too. The whole turning the other cheek business - they don't want to give the same intolerance they get. Peaceful resistance, like MLK or Gandhi.
I love the disclaimer, Gallstaff.
That's seems pretty typical of males too, adding that disclaimer. Nothing wrong with it, it's just pretty funny.
