Screw the closet! I broke the doors off that [filtered word] a long time ago. The only skeletons left in there are the ones I chopped up and shoved back in with the rest of my baggage.
Today I am pondering this whole Gay Pride movement, because,well, why the [filtered word] not and I have had too much caffeine.
Remove parades and political agendas and what do you really think about it?
Myself, I find it a confusing issue. I do not believe two men or two women were biologically meant to be together. I don't think it is an "abomination" but I do think it is not what nature intended. However, nature in all it's infinite glory has created this thing we label as homosexuality. So who am I to second guess nature?
That being said, I question where the "state" has the right to step in and say we recognize "this", but not "that".
I am a heterosexual male and I have spent my life trying to define love. For myself, "love" is the affection, companionship (taste,smell, touch) of a woman. I have spent years searching for this "love" and at 42 I am still lost at times, so I wonder..... how can a government, or set of laws, define what love is between two people?
I happen to love the Vagina
I guess some guys love the p@nis ( I get it dude, heck, I love MY p@nis!) So go with it sister!
But Gay marriage... We live in a society where we claim we want our laws to be free and just, free from any and all religious persecution, yet we define marriage based on a religious view of it? Everyone who is against gay marriage bases it on what? ...a moral/religious view of it. Myself, I think that our own God and beliefs will be the judge of us, not public opinion or government intervention...so where is the harm in allowing gay marriage. If you believe in it or not, where will it affect you individually? "Family Values", the "Moral decay of society"?.....no, our society is corrupted already. With child molesters, rapist’s, murders and yada, yadda, yadda. I personally think our planet is overpopulated anyways...so why not accept more couples who can not procreate?
At the end of the day, what does it matter? It does not affect you, your family, or your beliefs.
I don't mind Gay people but they kinda creep me out. The guys dress much better than me and the woman are sometimes more manly than I am, but still...why would I give a [filtered word] if they have the right to marry each other?
But to Gay guy's everywhere, lose the tighty whities....boxers are so much more comfortable, and plus, if you are gay you can wear them backward and put the hole in the back!!!

Where this closet was I would weld the fracking doors shut on the dang thang!!!
I think if you took all the
I think if you took all the stupid parades and politics out and if that had never been introduced it wouldn't even be an issue...
Hmm
If two people of the same gender want equal treatment and rights from the government then let them get married and have the same rights. Fine by me.
Is it truly an 'attack on the institution of marriage'? IMHO, it's no more of an attack on marriage than the rampant divorce rate among heterosexuals.
marriage is so sacred
50% of them quit and do it again!
NO
Lots of people get divored several times so that if some gets divored 3 times that is 6 couples that have to stay married to keep the rate @ 50%.
For every 1 marrage that ends in divorce you get 2 divorded people vs 1 marriage.
The stats are off.
Hmm
"Lots of people get divored several times so that if some gets divored 3 times that is 6 couples that have to stay married to keep the rate @ 50%."
Don't you mean three couples have to stay married? Three failed marriages and three successful marriages equals a 50% divorce rate.
I know where you're coming from on this. The statistic is that half of all marriages end in divorce. However, I have heard people misrepresent that by saying half of all people who get married will get divorced. That misrepresentation fails to take into account those who repeatedly marry and divorce.
well
66% of statistics are just made-up numbers anyway.
Sigh
You're wrong 138% of the time.
LOL Sinnfeinan!
Like these pages haven't been a social torrent already this week! I'm sure you meant you are out of the CLOSET, not the CLOSEST, but I do appreciate your recognition of the unimportance of the whole deal. It is really very magnanimous of you, who usually has intense feelings about things to "come out" for "gay rights, why the hell not"!
As a gay man, although celibate by choice, I appreciate your acceptance for a situation that even gay people themselves question. Why would anyone choose to be the object of ridicule, abuse (physical, mental and social)? We don't choose it. All I know is that when I was young and developing sexually, my eye was turned to guys, not gals. It is difficult for young people because they are taught in church, home and socially, that being queer, gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered, etc. is unacceptable, not partially, but totally. It builds a fear in many on how they will exist as adults, and as a result, that fear drives many who have non-standard sexual feelings to suicide. It is such a shame, especially since the acceptance has grown so much since the 1960's when I realized my own sexuality. It was not even spoken of, except in derision in those days.
The whole pride thing has more to do with the pride the individual feels in accepting who they are, and the parades and celebrations are for them to communicate and meet with others who have suffered the same discrimination and abuse in their lives. Sometimes accepting yourself, is harder than working for acceptance from others, and it is the source of that pride. Choosing to celebrate it publicly is thumbing it in the nose of those who cannot or will not accept the reality of the situation. I am a believer in "You're OK, I'm OK". Do your thing, and I'll do mine.
As for "gay rights", I have always had a problem with that term. I see rights as universal, but not universally administered. Rights are not gay, but gays are denied the rights others have, and that is wrong. Thanks for the shout out for the situation though. You may not receive as many positive responses as you have so far, so good luck with that.
Oh, and as for the tighty-whities I can only say its a "gay thing", Sometimes gay guys don't want to sit on those particular things which bring such joy and believe me some really do. Lots of guys wear tight underwear under their boxers for the same reason. Would you feel the same if women wore boxers and someone developed a "boxer bra" which did not give you a hint of the inner person, so to speak? Either way, LOL and thanks for sharing.
question
"As for "gay rights", I have always had a problem with that term. I see rights as universal, but not universally administered. "
Agreed, which is why NAACP and "women's rights" are both propagating the discrimination.
Anyways, regarding same-sex marriage. Shouldn't it be just "marriage", because same-sex makes it "less universal"?
So, in a same-sex marriage, doesn't one need to be the husband and the other the wife?
Or, should a marriage license be just "Person 1 - Person 2" or "Person A - Person B?"
