self segregation

[Unknown Entity]

I can't understand why gay people moan about equality when 9 times out of 10 they have to make themselves stand out by acting in a camp or otherwise homosexual manner.

I've got nothing against homosexuals, but if the person in question has to make it obvious that he's that way inclined then yeah, i usually do develope a distaste for them.

and gay parades?
all that serves to do is wave your sexuality in people's faces, which is tactless in the eye of the general public.


you say you're no different from anyone else?
stop acting different and get on with being gay quitely then plx.

Therein lies the conundrum.

Most gay people don't act that way. Most of us quietly go about our business without giving you a clue as to our sexual orientation.

But because we don't act camp, you assume we're straight. The only people you consider gay are the ones who advertise themselves as such, which misleads you into thinking all gay people act that way ... without ever realizing that gays are all around you, acting just like everyone else.

Good for you, you probably live in a small backward town, where they are a small minority, and they feel the need to act as such.

To be really honest, I loath that behavior, I just dont get the camp effeminate mode at all, I make no apologies for that.

I have noted that Starfire has included transexuals in her forum rules, this is a Gay, Lesbian and Bi Forum, for the afor thats all it is for, unless the Chatmaster has agreed differently, which he has not.

Gay is gay, is all it is, nothing new, nothing special.

Segregation, is about society not about being Gay.

Society Segregates.

That said, being in a minority we do need to have a voice, because you guys in the real world and in here, by your thoughtless actions demand segregation, you may not realise it but you do.

Like Voice says, most of us just go about our business, our sexuality is not an issue. It is not an issue for my friends who are all straight, not an issue at all. I am just Andy to them a freind, that just happens to be gay.

Some times I wish It was an Issue, I am glad it is not though!

I think some gay people act that way to eliminate confusion. For example, because I "act" straight, any guys who might be interested in me might be reluctant to flirt because they're not sure how I'll react.

If I made my homosexuality more obvious, there wouldn't be any confusion. Plus I wouldn't have to worry about girls bothering me.

Actually I wrote those rules and I felt that transgenders should be explicitly mentioned, partly because of the hostile way some people on this site treat them.

Starfire "updated" the rules because I had quit modding this forum. Why she copied and pasted my rules, then deleted my post so she could post the same thing instead of simply editing out my name as a Gay Forums mod in the original post is beyond me.

There are times when I wish my sexual prefernce were a little more obvious. I've often felt that potential mates were reluctant to approach me because they figured I was straight.

Maybe I should just buy a Gay Pride T-shirt.

Just a short comment..

I have Issues with the transgender fraternity, only because they are so hatefully anti gay, thats all.

They hate being called Gay, they are after all man to woman and visa versa, thats ok with me, they certainly make it clear they are not gay! and why should they be classified as such. In the UK it suited them as such, till they got their rights in law, did not take them long to desert the Rainbow Coalition.

"All"?

Pretty sweeping generalization, don't you think? Not unlike this thread's author's presumption that "all" gay guys act camp.

My intent wasn't to "classify" transgenders as being gay. It just seemed to me that if gay/les/bisexual people could have a separate forum then why shouldn't it include TGs?

It's not as though there's been a suddent influx of them posting here since I specified them in the rules. And we don't delete posts made by straight people here. So what's the harm in making them feel welcome to post here? They deal with many of the same issues that we do.

I cant understand why ppl do what they do dont know why they moan about taxes -about what ppl ware or drink and smoke and loud music, why make a fuss and stand out, geezzzz it happens in every thing so hey lmao!

The thing is whats the difference astr8 guy or woman makes it clear to a gay person they are str8 proberly to stop any confusion btw them like a gay guy or woman will let ppl know in some cases to stop their confusion works both ways.

I dont like parades or drag artist because yeh i think they can show gay ppl in a different light, but once again no different to having a oppossing football scarf flashed in your face or a political party poster posted on ya gate when ya dont support that party lol.

Anyway this is my opinion and not of chat avenue or the queen

We as humans always hate somthing maybe a little more love would put this world to rights
love tobes xxxxxxxxx

That's pretty much how I am.

Alot of people I knew didn't even know I was lesbian until I stated it in a conversation we were having.

As a lesbian, I've never understood the point of flaunting my sexuality, something that should be in my opinion,kept as a part of your personal private life.

I don't feel my sexuality should be put on a billboard for everyone to know.

Basically, If you ask, then I'll tell you.

Ugh i hate people who generalize because of what ONE person does .
I'll go around now stereotyping all Americans as uncle Sam & Brits as redcoats.

I don't act gay , i don't dress gay i go about my business like any other straight man would , hell if I've managed to keep it hidden for so long i must be doing something right Even if i did come out to my loved ones then I'd still act the same as i do now . i find the straight looking/acting male more attractive and the camp/queens repulsive.
