arieus Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 Just wanted to post that Friday (today) is National Coming Out Day. This day is to show all the closed minded people out there that there are gay/lesbian/bi/TRY sexuals all around them. SO, if you are gay/lesbian/bi and there are people in your life that you haven't told yet...if you have tried it out...if you've THOUGHT about it...let someone know...even if it's yourself!The fact is that most people who are down on it are just embarrassed because they may be interested in the same sex and are just trying to hide that fact from us by being assholes about it. After a while, they get used to being assholes about it and then bad things happen to good people...It's 2002, what are you waiting for?

Mystify Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 yeah i heard that comment from tonya.... it was extremely ignorant...on the new road rules, darrell said something about how after the show, he wasn't going to be friends with shawn, because he "doesn't have gay friends".....WHAT IS WITH THESE PEOPLE?

sassa Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 it's ok i think to respect people and all, but when did it become ok to accept people who are obviously confused about themselves and make it ok?i don't hate gay people (one of my best friends is a 29 year old gay guy), but still...there's a difference between being gay and being gay just for the hell of it..i dunno....kudos to whoever actually made this day happen though...at least people can now be more aware...connie chung i think will be talking to some people about this day tonight on cnn...

karkid Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Originally posted by weyes in conversation with a co-worker today, i found out that he thinks gay people are "sinners." a 20-year-old. i hate being disappointed in people . According to Christianity the wages of homosexuality is death. Pretty much the bible says that if you are gay you should be killed. I don't think anyone should be killed, but I think modern media pushes gay too far, and sort of glamorizes it. I'm not gay, and I feel uncomfortable around gays. I've been raised in a small town (3500 people) where everyone is white and straight. I have a gay uncle who married, had kids, divorced when he was 40 something, and left her with the kids and no job, to persue an alternative lifestyle. Whatever...? I don't agree with people being gay, but I don't agree with divorce, drugs, premeritle sex, other religions and a lot of other things. You call it closed minded, I call it christianity, and a closeness with a being that other's have never experienced, so they dont have a reason to follow a religion like I do.Denny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
