We need change. Cause it.

That wasn't me.

I'm done here, I see what I'm doing is wrong, at first I was stating my opinion, and it evolved into me following Cheetuh (because I thought his thread was funny).

Sorry Noah.

I'm glad to know that you had the maturity to apologize; thank you for ending the argument with dignity; let's get back on topic guys!

The other thread was locked for being a copy. Any further flame on this thread may result in punishment of sort. Have an excellent day.

Lucidictive sorry for my mistake, however it was extremely evident that you two were working together. The intent was still there.

Thanks for the help cam.

I strongly agree with you on this, but at the same time we also need to look at what encourages it (whether it's a movie, TV show, book). These things are reflected on in a negative way, and people turn innocent words into twisted insults. My point in this reply is that, unfortunately, all of the things you listed are part of human nature. It's sick, and it's truly unbelievably idiotic the way people act. We can't forget that we are people too.

Exactly, we are all people, we can all change how we view things and change how we act.

I was implying that. Haha, thank you for clarifying my message though (not sarcastic).

I appreciate this post, however, I genuinely do not think it's going to change anyone's outlook who intentionally verbalizes malicious comments towards homosexuals. Just like with heartfelt movies, articles, etc.; people think to themselves that they will get their lives straightened out, but forget about it all the next day. I could be wrong however, I realize there's people out there who are on "the-edge" of their opinion and/or come to realize what they're doing wrong. There's also those who are too damn stubborn to see they're in the wrong and block out opposing views to their own.

I agree, people use the term "gay" as an insult or even as a replacement for the word "stinks, sucks, stupid, etc." (by this I mean, "You have to do 7 hours of homework!? Wow, that's gay.."). A lot of people don't realize or understand that "gay" is a term for homosexuals; not an insult to call someone because you think they're dumb, annoying, etc. In fact, some people don't even realize they even use the term and don't think it's offensive in any way; it just comes naturally to their conversations as mentioned before (for replacements of "stinks, sucks, stupid, etc.").

It truly is a shame people can't accept others for being different, but it's not changing anytime soon. As I've talked to people about before, I absolutely detest homophobes. Those who try to force their own beliefs on others about homosexuality being an immense sin obviously don't understand the Bible themselves very well. What happened to "love thy neighbor" or "forgiveness of sins"? What truly sparked such a hatred from homosexuality? There are those who are forgiven for murder, grand theft, adultery, and abortion but not for being attracted to those of the same sex (or whatever their sexual orientation is composed of)? That's absolutely absurd to be quite honest...

It really upsets me knowing that a large majority of gays feel completely isolated from the world and tend to end their own lives because of it. People need to be more accepting of one another, it's sad. I'm a bisexual trans woman myself, and my own parents tell me practically everyday that my whole life is compiled with sin and that I'm going to hell. Do you know how that feels? Having my own parents not accept me and tell me I'm going to burn in hell? It feels terrible. Guess what religion they take part in..? Christianity. A religion of supposed "love", "caring", and "forgiveness" for others. I realize there are loving and caring Christians out there, but there is also a large majority of hateful and unforgiving ones too.

Being accused of being gay is one of the most said things to me. People or "person" even say it to me in the lobby, people's stereotypes of being "gay" these days are pathetic.

[Roluctive]

People like me get called clan hopper so that could mean I'm picky or want the best for me

To begin, I'd like to thank you for the input in the post. Next, everyone can change if they want to. If they truly attempt to have a new mindset, it's easy to put into action. As for the third paragraph, homophobes blatant disgust me. It's far worse than any racism. And as for the final paragraph, I completely understand what you're saying and while I do feel sorry, that is not my real response right now; that would be pity. You aren't asking for pity; it's a trait very few people have but I can tell when people do or don't want pity most of the time. So instead, I'll tell you this: just remember that even if you're told otherwise in daily life, you are loved and cared about. No matter what your parents or any assholes say, you are. You have friends. Even if they're through the internet, people like me, we are real friends. We care about you. Remember that.
