• You get to have sex with men. Men are better looking than women. FACT!

Sorry to nitpick here but last time I looked the term "gay" included lesbians- or is that gone out of fassion again?

Oh my gosh, did I forget to say that heterosexuals "fall in love with their OWN GENDER" too? :eek: And I thought heterosexuals are attracted to the opposite gender? - As in man falls in love with woman.

Hmm_Messiah

what I was refering to was

finding somebody who you love with all your heart

I didn't realise you actually meant the best thigng was falling in love with some one of your own gender; how exactly is that better or any different that falling in love with some one of the other sex ??

What a quirky notion to hold.

I guess then best thing for us A.T.M.s is falling in love with some one regardless of their gender.


When in school a good thing about being gay was not having to play sports :rolleyes:

You don't have much of an option about being Jewish either, it's more than just a religion you know.

no, and yip... I know well in that its an old institutionalised religion with all that implies (culturally etc)

still of course you can opt out of (or indeed into) Judaism, which was my point

• Secretly you like the Grease soundtrack, but you dont have to feel guilty about it. They almost expect it.

Of course there are cons too. But this is a positive thread...

That's my (male) cousins favourite soundtrack, favourite film...should I be worried?

Maybe the reason I haven't actually watched the film yet is because I'm afraid I might like it too...:D

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

...erm, might I add being a total sterotype to the list?

I'll have to have an actual 'think' to answer the set question. Tempted to say that, for me, it's meant I've never had to grow up - but that probably isn't that good really.

One thing, for sure: The WORST thing about being gay = The b/f's taste in music... :eek:

Seems to me that all of the things listed about why being gay is so great, equally apply to why being hetrosexual is so great.

At some point people will realise that it's not your sexuality, race, gender, place of birth, social class, occupation, car, house or anything else that makes your world great but simply you yourself.

Life is what you want to make of it, you can have very little of anything and be extremely happy, or have lots of everything and be miserable. You can find and lose love, be close to or estranged from your family, have your dream job or just something to pay the bills...it makes no difference unless you are happy with who you are and where you are with your life.

I would guess that the best thing about being anything on any level is knowing why you're there and where you want to go. After that, everything else is just details.

Why is there no hetrosexual forum, strange eh. . . maybe an insecurity thing??
It doesn't make sense, if there is one for gays, there should surely be one for people who like the straight and, hopefully "Narrow" so to speak

Rather than answering a question with a question I'd suggest at the end of the day the reason is there would be no topics for the forum that arenot already covered in forums.

Eventually I think the "need" for a LGBT forum will be lessened but anyways as Lear says " reason not the need", people want it so its here.

If enough straight folk wanted and asked for a "straight forum" and justified its existence they would probably get it .

irishproduce

Oh so it has to be justified. . . Again this whole forum thing dedicated to the gay and lesbain people just adds to the whole "Gay Community" thing and after a while it becomes a bit patethic.
Don't get me wrong, there are of course legitimate topics to be discussed. However I am certainly of the opinion there are alot of threads and posts in here that have been posted just for the sake of one posting in the homosexual forums - again trying to stand out.

Tell me to get lost if you totally disagree.

No, I'm just wondering why you think that. It seems excessively cynical. What has given you the impression that posters on the LGB forum use it to "stand out"? Have you made an effort to gather an impression of what types of topics are discussed here, to see whether they are worth discussing?

Don't be silly, there is no such thing as hetrosexuality, there is a bit of "us" in every one of them or else we would not be here!

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

This reminds me of a mate, a very good mate, who told me that he was recently slandered in a local pub of his. Couldn't believe it, on so many levels. I've clearly had an easy ride up until this point, if that shocks me. And I really haven't had half as much trouble as some...Plus, him being such a strong person, so incredibly rational, so blessed with the capacity to retort, to argue, he accepted his judgement, and said nothing. His ''''''''''friends'''''''''' who were around him at the time, straight people, did nothing.

I hear of the odd suicide, beating etc. But am I living in happy-happy land? I can't believe this is STILL happening! "F..king queer", he called my friend. That says a lot about his mindset. Probably blessed with a mixture of ignorance of gay people, possibly the plight of minorities in general, and glues to the norm too, no doubt. I could rant and rave about what's obviously flawed in that chap's thinking.

I would have said something.I know it. If I'm pushed far enough, I'll fight back - so I'm not claiming to be tougher than I am. But what would all of ye done? What's everyone's opinion on this?

best thing about being gay is you get to do the nagging.

LegacyUser

Gay people enjoy books more? Is that so?

And being hetrosexual is boring? Is that what you're trying to say?

What you're babbling about falls under the same category as "Blondes have more fun".

Uninformed drivel

I'll hazard the risk of being banned here...

First, I don't hate gay people, In fact I don’t really hate anyone but I do have strong objections to the whole gay thing. If you will, I'd like to list why.

Again, I'm probably risking getting banned or slagged off, since I'm on your part of the forum, but perhaps one or two of you will respond with considered answers to the objections that the likes of me have to homosexuals. I'm genuinely interested in your views on a couple of questions.

1. Why do (a lot) of gay men talk with a high pitched voice or a lisp?

To me, this shows that the camp thing is put on. If it is not put on, then there must be a hormonal imbalance. I once mentioned the whole idea of a chemical/hormonal imbalance to a gay friend of mine, and he hit the roof. If there is no hormonal imbalance, there is no other reason for the lisp - other than a put-on.

2. Contrary to popular belief, everyone does not love gay people. Many heterosexuals will not insult/argue with you when on a night out with friends for example, but that does not mean that we don’t often feel uncomfortable with the whole idea.

3. I think you do yourselves an injustice.
Most gay people seem to define themselves as such. I don’t tell people what type of sex I like. I keep my bedroom life private. Any gay people I have met seem to have a need to tell me they are gay (in other words, take it in the bum) Why do I need to know this? Do you want or need to know what type of sex I enjoy?

4. Gay parades. WFT? What is the point. I don’t give a crap what type of sex you like.
Either does my 2 year old daughter. She does not need to see gay people (or anyone for that matter) with little clothing, kissing and parading down our main street shouting about sex. She is two for Christs sake.

5. Gay people are not as broad minded as they like to think.
If someone agrees with you, then they are considered 'open minded' etc. etc.

Yet if someone disagrees, they live in 'the dark ages' and should be silenced. I thought the whole idea was freedom of expression?

Is it only freedom of expression if we agree with homosexuality? or are anti (anything) people allowed to speak these days?. If someone is not comfortable with homosexuality, you label them a religious freak. You seem to feel that everybody is supposed to agree with you - But this aint communism. You are becoming the thing you once hated: Insulting, tunnel visioned and repressive.

6. Am I banned now? I hope not, as I'd genuinely love to discuss some of these issues. As I said I don't hate anybody, but I like to be able to speak my mind (As you do too)

A lisp is cause by a harmonal imbalance? Really, didn't know what Dr Cnoc16. That aside it's not true to say that allot of gay men talk with a lisp. Go to a gay bar, talk to people, see how many has a lisp or high pitched voice. Also lots of people put on accents and the like, do they all bother you?

2. Contrary to popular belief, everyone does not love gay people. Many heterosexuals will not insult/argue with you when on a night out with friends for example, but that does not mean that we don’t often feel uncomfortable with the whole idea.

You really think gay people in general view the world as loving them? News to me that heterosexuals will not insult or argue with gays. As for your comfort level, thats your problem.

3. I think you do yourselves an injustice.

Any gay people I have met seem to have a need to tell me they are gay (in other words, take it in the bum) Why do I need to know this? Do you want or need to know what type of sex I enjoy?

Really? My experience is the complete opposite. Allot of people seem to think that just because you're Queer, they can automatically insert their nose into your sex life. It would be nice to go out without someone mentioning my sexuality or bringing it up.

4. Gay parades. WFT? What is the point. I don’t give a crap what type of sex you like.
Either does my 2 year old daughter. She does not need to see gay people (or anyone for that matter) with little clothing, kissing and parading down our main street shouting about sex. She is two for Christs sake.

You think it's all about sex? Maybe you should go to afew more parades.

5. Gay people are not as broad minded as they like to think.
If someone agrees with you, then they are considered 'open minded' etc. etc.

Well from the opinions expressed so far, yo uare pretty much i nthe dark about homosexuality.

Is it only freedom of expression if we agree with homosexuality? or are anti (anything) people allowed to speak these days?. If someone is not comfortable with homosexuality, you label them a religious freak. You seem to feel that everybody is supposed to agree with you - But this aint communism.

Yes because all gays speak and think and act as one.

That's a bit of a stereotype really. I know a lot of gay people at this stage (including myself), and very very few of them talk with either a lisp or a high pitched voice.

Although I do think that there is less pressure on gay men to appear 'macho' which may account for a perceived sense of gay men being overly feminine when compared to straight guys.

2. Contrary to popular belief, everyone does not love gay people. Many heterosexuals will not insult/argue with you when on a night out with friends for example, but that does not mean that we don’t often feel uncomfortable with the whole idea.

So what? I honestly don't think that there's any sort of misconception among gay people that they are loved by all. But what exactly do you want or expect us to do about that? Stop being gay? Sorry, no can do. Guess you'll just have to live with your insecurities.

3. I think you do yourselves an injustice.

You're generalising in the extreme.
I let people know I'm gay if I think it's relevant. This has to do with who I might be attracted to (men vs woman), not the type of sex I like. There's actually quite a bit more to it than "take it up the bum".

4. Gay parades. WFT? What is the point. I don’t give a crap what type of sex you like.

Never actually been to a Gay parade so I can't comment.

just wondering though, have you been to a Gay parade, or are you just hypothesising as to what the experience might entail?

5. Gay people are not as broad minded as they like to think.
If someone agrees with you, then they are considered 'open minded' etc. etc.

Yet if someone disagrees, they live in 'the dark ages' and should be silenced. I thought the whole idea was freedom of expression?

Tricky one that. Disagreeing with something is, in my opinion, OK. It's when you start trying to actively curtail someone else's freedoms of choice, religion, sexuality, etc., that we have problems.

I don't agree with Catholicism, but I'm not about to start giving out ****e to my granny for going to mass everyday.

Everyone's different though. Saying that "gay people" are such-and-such a way is just like saying "straight people" are such-and-such a way.

6. Am I banned now?

I doubt it.
