What does it mean to be gay or lesbian?

[DinkinFlicka]

McDad, you can keep playing with my food. I'm hopping off for now.

 

[whodeycin85]

I'm a social justice warrior because I sh*t on people like you?

Sorry to disappoint, but the tone police bleeding hearts don't like me either... and I'm perfectly happy with it.

When did sh*t on anyone.i state it was a choice imo...stated I was tired of being bombarded with pride month crap ..never once have I stated that they should not be gay or it wrong... Because you automatically got triggered and proved my point about you

I can't even imagine being same sex attracted. But it does seem to be a genuine thing for some certain segment of the human race. I can't understand why people love seafood so much, either, but I don't consider it a mental illness.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

I turned the channel when it was too annoying.. Obviously I didn't celebrate it. But when every media outlet or form of entertainment or store or basically anything is shoving the pride month in your face.... What am I supposed to do??? That's the whole point of the bombardment of LGBTQ.... Forced acceptance by nothing else available

A worthy alternative may be to turn off the TV and open a book

I do that everyday....

Be honest,
You have one too

Nope. Replaced it with Hunter Biden

We just a pride month where homosexuality was sober down everyone's throat... Funny thing is I have close friends who are gay... They understand and accept where I'm coming from... They don't wanna know about my sex life any more then I wanna know about thiers......

Most gay people are normal and just want to live life. Unfortunately they have been hijacked by a small group of radical left tranny minor attracted loons.

 

[evillawyer]

I'm just curious because it seems like one side has one understanding of what it means and the other side has another understanding.

Can we clarify what these terms mean so that we can move the discussion forward and have an honest dialogue?

After this exercise, can you move next to defining "servile Russian cuck"?

That I agree with in my experience, sad thing is that small group are all not even members of the community. They are just militant SJW..

I'm not so sure a great many are. But I am also not sure you you define "a great many". Also, not sure who you are classifying gay. We may have different metrics.

Maybe “great many” was the wrong choice. How about “significant”?

Gen X has been pretty steady at 4-5% for a while now according to Gallup.


Not sure what % of those Gen X identify as LGB, but 10% of all Americans that identify say they are Trans. Over 50% say Bi.

When did you choose to be heterosexual?

Was it up in the air at some point?

It's biological in nature for the propagation of the species...when homosexual intercourse brings about a natural birth or there is a definitive genetic marker...then it's a choice IMO..part of mental illness if you really wanna know....
As for me choosing. It was never a choice...due to my biology

 

[allvol123]

That said, there are people who are born with some hard wiring which I don't fully understand (and frankly don't need to understand).

We as an informed society should want to understand. Knowledge is desirable.

Thankfully people with dyslexia have and have had people with the desire to understand it. Thankfully people with autism have people trying to understand it.

So the only evidence you will ever accept is when gay people can give birth? Thats a very disingenuous response.You seriously can't fathom someone having different sexual preferences than you, and like you, they didn't make a choice? Is your self centered world so small that you choose to believe anyone who doesn't follow your sex code is mentally ill?

I hate to say it but you're the one who sounds mentally ill in this thread, man.

A sexual preference as you stated is by definition a choice..it the same as preferring height or weight....the mental illness portion comes is similar as those with gender dysphoria, they are uncomfortable with heterosexual sex so they choose homosexual sex..like a man who say they are uncomfortable being a man they say they are a women.

I'm not triggered. I just think you're intellectually lazy.

Notice the Gen X trend line over the 9 years? That decrease is why I am saying choice in sexual expression is more in play than some are comfortable admitting. And, yes, there are some that are born with same sex attraction innately hard wired.

 

[Vol8188]

I would say if you can get it up for one same sex experience then you are at least bi, but IDK.

Stop telling me things about myself that I don’t want to know

There's no reaching you. Anyone who doesn't conform to your heterosexual standards is mentally ill and you won't be convinced until you see a man give birth. May I ask your age?

Good points. Difference to me is that understanding dyslexia/autism, etc is about how to help those with it function better and the rest of us understand how to better relate with those people. Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't see gay in the same way wrt understanding.

 

[Weezer]

Welp, this is the most offensive post in the thread.

I've never heard someone admit that they like elevator/waiting room tier music.

Look at the stars/Look how they shine for you/And everything you do/Yeah, they were all yellow.

When did I say they had to conform??? I haven't said anything about unequal treatment or hate etc...I simply stated it's a choice...and provided my reasoning....all I ask is that if they truly want equal treatment then stop shoving it down societies throat. I'm 43.

It was a jab at gay people by comparing homosexuality with literal mental disabilities. Of course we want to learn more about autism and dyslexia to help those with these issues. It's disingenuous concern trolling to throw homosexuality in that bucket, as if they are dealing with a debilitating condition (known to science as "they gay").

You said it wasn't a choice for you, but it's a choice for them. You don't see how that doesn't follow? Calling them liars and mentally ill is your final conclusion?

If you think society is shoving something down your throat, there are ways to avoid it. No one is forcing you to celebrate, no one is forcing you to participate. If your only examples of this are seeing something on TV, or seeing rainbow patches on athletes, then you honestly need to grow some thicker skin.

I don't think it was a jab. allvol interacts with me in a healthy way.
