    So this site has become to negative, well then heres an idea list some of the stuff you love the most about being gay! Here is my list


    1. Gay male Lust, intense stuff but makes you fell alive!
    2. Intense Emotionality, i.e. we in general get a lot more out of books, music culture etc
    3. Growing up gay, makes a person psychologically tough.
    4. Freedom from the hum-drum mindless conventionality of hetro-normality
    5. SEX, lots off

    How would being gay do that to you?

    4. Freedom from the hum-drum mindless conventionality of hetro-normality

    You make it sound like being straight is boring and straight people have chosen to be this way.

    5. SEX, lots off

    I'm heterosexual and have lots of sex too.

    What does having lots of sex have to do with being gay?

    Not trying to attack you here or anything but I think most of your points could apply to more people than just gay people. It seems the only thing you really like about being gay is not being straight. That's fair enough.

    That's why there's way higher incidents of depression, suicide, self-harm, eating disorders and stress related ailments for homosexuals in every study ever done?

    I really don't think it's possible to start a light hearted, fun thread on this forum.

    Yeah, lets not allow the opinion of anyone but yes men. Lets not fact-check bull**** because the bull**** is there to make us all happy about being the happiest and superior demographic. Saying being gay makes you psychologically tough is an insult to the gay men who commit suicide every year in the country. I'm sure I could be all happy and clappy and ignore that but I won't.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    No it's not, it's simply taking another perspective on the matter. Both statements are correct.

    Bah Humbug. You are right! Let introduce the joys of homophobia in this thread

    Who needs fun and laughter when we can be bloody miserable !

    Don't get me wrong, I've been beaten, verbbally abused and bullied out of my job, but hey why live in the past?

    I love our inate ability to post nonsense on message boards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,964 ✭✭✭Hmm_Messiah


    this thread is nonsense. which would be ok if it were funny, maybe.

    I actually think Damien is wrong, only so much in how he said it suggests suicide, depession etc are the opposite of pychological toughness. Those that endure the stress, depression, pain are surely often tough brave courageous people. And choosing suicide... you get my point (I hope)



    seems humour and homosexuality are poor bed fellows
    wh ever heard of a gay comedian for example? :rolleyes:

    From what I've been told by straight mates, we're also lucky to be going after someone more likely to share "boy" interests and not have to fathom the Venusian mindset! That's a big bonus!

    And having a better idea what to do with a partner (physically) is a nice bonus too!

    Being a lesbian means knowing where the clitoris is and what to do with it.

    Need I say more? I'm sold.

    Hmmm......what I like about being gay is being different. Of course, some don't really like that which is alright. I embrace diversity and I'm sort of glad I wasn't the same as everybody else. I'm not in any way implying being straight is boring or that all heterosexuals are the same.

    Also, I was always quite camp and being gay gave me a valid excuse to explain why I was quite effeminate. :D

    I think that every minority group is subject to scrutiny....because the so called 'norms' (abhorr the term) of society are artificaly created by those at the top for the benefit of those at the top.....from cradle to grave we are indoctrinated into behaving as the Oligarchy wants us...questioning and difference are at best discouraged and at worst frowned upon...as they can cause change.... What is normal? Who decides what is normal?. Isn't everyone different?. Therefore is it not natural our behaviour is somewhat different?. The Norms are artifical...and so many people are afraid to be themselves for fear of judgment...people conform out of fear...not out of natural inclination.... I was frowned upon in Limerick because my way of fring an egg is allegedly abnormal....yet it is very common in Co.Clare! That is how narrow and unthinking society can be... In short every minority grouping is challenged, not just those gender/sexuality related....because the whole idea of normal is artificial and few question the so called 'norms' , personally I feel that difference and diversity are natural...and they should be considered 'Normal' as the sum total of all our parts is different for each human or otherwise being...therefore isn't difference natural?. If more people were aware of the 'normality' of difference then society could be more at ease with itself.

    Personally I feel that strength can come out of adversity...if one can survive it...on recovery from an emotional breakdown....individuals are often far stronger than before the breakdown had occurred..that is a fact I have withnessed...therefore I'm sure that the adversity faced in being gay CAN (though not always) make on mentally tough...as on learns how to cope with problems....a straight person will not have had this opportunity to develope their skills.

    Id imagine being Gay is a tragic thing


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    I'd imagine having your imagination would be a tragic thing.

    I'd imagine being an ignorant, idiotic, infantile, knuckle-scraping ape like creature is too.:mad:
    It must be terrible for you.

    b

    (PS. I hope to godess you're not really in the IAC, the thought of such stupidity behind the controls of a plane, yikes! :eek: :rolleyes: )

    And jeez, this entire forum is becoming so unbelievably depressing. Maybe we should have a parade! :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,290 ✭✭✭damien

    You touched yourself after you typed that didn't you? Like you did further up too? As a reward for getting at the gays. Have you even noticed you were doing it? Everytime you visited this forum in the past 6 months you've been touching yourself and going a bit further than that too. Tut tut. Yeah yeah, you have a girlfriend and a patient girl she is too. Bless her. Seriously though, stop thinking of your best mate like that. It'll only frustrate you further. I'd suggest going to play sports to work it out of you but you can't can you? You can't stop checking out the other guys in the showers. Maybe become a monk?

    Next.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,964 ✭✭✭Hmm_Messiah


    Damien should write porn me thinks ( or does he already ? )

    As for the other guy imagining being gay is a tragic thing, well trolling aside, is he not allowed imagine that ? People have a right to stupidity, and he seems to have embraced that right as sacrosanct.

    And more seriously hasn't being "gay" lead to tragedy in some cases.

    Personally it I think the truly moronic should not be responded to (cue Damien trying to respond to me by .."not responding")


    as for the depressing tone, why doesn't every one tell a little funny incident hence bringing levity, indeed, gaiety to all the gay folk
