How To Get Gays Socially Accepted?

[Dark@ngel]

Gay Pride Events Should Be Banned there was discussion about Gay Pride @ Work, and the effect on getting accepted by society. Some Of us agreed Gay Pride enables social acceptance and some doesn't see the point and are embarassed by drags, leather men and naked old men there.

In my opinion people (gays, blacks, christians, whoever) shouldn't live in their own protective community. They should meet other people. In this way society can get to know gays, which is good to be accepted. Cuz gays are no diffirent than others.

I think many gays should expand their horizons.

Maybe i've had it easy coz, I don't know how it is in other countries. I'm Gay and live in Australia. Here we are quite ahead with the equality. Gays can committ here, have kids, walk hand in hand in public and basically do all the things everybody do.

How do you think gays, can get socially exepted?

Do You agree with what I am trying to say ...?

I'm not entirely sure wht good gay prides do, apart from make money from those who in al ot of cases can ill afford to spend it, I attempted to attend a pride celebration ib Manchester (UK) last year, but to drive and park, was too expensive, and involved a long walk from the car parks tht were being used in any case, so to me, it's just a money making excerise, not a gay celebration.

As for young gay ppl needing to see a shrink, there is only ONE person who needs tht.

I'm just throwing this out there: I think every single moron that thinks all gay people will go to Hell should go to Hell themselves. Gay people are not bad people. I mean, so what if they like members of the same gender sexually? I was always told to respect the beliefs of others, no matter what.

Yes I think they should be banned. Some of you may see my post as 'weird'[?] because a gay person is saying it's wrong but hear me out.
I do think they should be banned, because in most cases, it causes uproar.
People who attend these gay festivals are not all gay and some don't like to see naked men prancing around in leatherwear flaunting just how gay they are[and yes I know straight people flaunt their sexuality as well, but that's not the point]. But then again, some people could turn round and say ''they know what they're in for if they attend''.
If they are going to have these festivals, at least have some pride in themselves by not being naked; just have a good time and not go over the top with nakedness and such indecency that people find offensive.

In my opinion people (gays, blacks, christians, whoever) shouldn't live in their own protective community. They should meet other people. In this way society can get to know gays, which is good to be accepted. Cuz gays are no diffirent than others.

I agree.
No-one should be shunned from societies because of their race/religion/sexuality. We're all human no matter what the case.

I think many gays should expand their horizons.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?

Maybe i've had it easy coz, I don't know how it is in other countries. I'm Gay and live in Australia. Here we are quite ahead with the equality. Gays can committ here, have kids, walk hand in hand in public and basically do all the things everybody do.

Here in Scotland, UK, it's getting there to be socially accepted. Gays can get ''married'', adopt etc. But in certain areas, especially where I live [in a small village], it's very rare for someone to announce that they're gay. You don't see any members of the same sex walking hand in hand, possibly due to the fact that it's kinda rough. There was one gay person who lived here and he got bombed out of his house by the local drunks, which is sad because he caused no harm to anyone. I also suspect that is why no-one comes out as gay in such small villages such as ours.
But the UK is getting beter at accepting gays socially, I'd say.

How do you think gays, can get socially exepted?

I really don't know. Because in this day in age, sure homosexuality is more common, it's also more dangerous. So I don't know if making it more social than it already is would be a good idea or a a bad one.
People need to learn respect and respect people for who they are, not their sexuality etc.

Gay Pride marches are a demonstration of right, our right to be accepted as a part of society.

Unfortunatley, they mostly serve to alienate the larger community at large.
Outrageous camp and effeminate behaviour, guys in panto type drag etc...
To be honest, they portray the GLB fraternity as fickle eccentrics.
They should not end though! but change with the times.

Gay Lesbians and Bisexuals, are a great asset to the local community at large, we do not get that message across as effectively as we maybe could. Lets not forget the very large numbers of GLB peeps that work in the caring jobs in this world, they work damn hard for little wage other than self satisfaction.

Get involved with your local communities, be good citizens, do good deeds for all the community, involve straight friends in your life, my straight friends love comming to gay clubs with me they now understand we do not bite. ( unless asked! )

We are, and always have been part of the local community, we just have never been noticed before.

Also, the so called scene, is frequented by only a small number of GLB peeps.

I could go on and on....

One of your best threads to date DA!

Very thought provoking, I really do applaud you. I hope others take the time to make a valid contribution.


Thread rated, and well deserved repys to ya!

Ive never attended a gay pride session so it may be wrong for me to cast a view here. However, i believe gay people are comming on well in society these days, but things like riots at gay pride partys and some of the things straight people see there would just add to the sterotypical views people already have of us.

I think its great how I myself and others i know can be openly gay as much as we are in the UK today, however, i will always agree there is such a long way to go for full social acceptance.

Merry Christmas to all,

Gay Pride events have been around in the USA since the 70s at least. Back then, that's what it was all about; Gay Pride. These events were geared at opening the minds of the closed-minded, as well as rallying for equality. Now, especially in years of late, these events have transformed into something totally different. Its a chance for the gay culture to come out to the streets and provoke the haters and anti-gay Christians. A lot of the people at these events are just outright weird.

Should the events be BANNED? No, I don't think so. I just think they should be headed by level-headed people who can have and lead a tasteful event, focusing on the issues at hand.

Doesn't matter if people accept them or not, because there will always be someone who doesn't. And even so, it is impossible to stop someone from being gay unless you kill them.
