The fall of the country is due to crazy coots thinking that whoever someone loves has any f'ing bearing on anything other than that person's own life.

This country would be a hell of a lot better if people started worrying more about themselves and less about who Joe Schmo is marrying and how that impacts their life. Because it doesn't.

And before anyone calls me out on saying, "Well everyone's entitled to how they feel". Great. They do. Just like I have no problems coming to the defense of my LGBTQ brethren, as I would if someone thought of blacks as threatening the sanctity of America.

Because there was a point of time that we were.

I might end up getting this thread closed because I'm a loud mouthed, bisexual, black woman but you know what. I don't care.

Believe me us strait men don't worry about it or care what you all do among yourselves. But why the need for the coming out announcements and the gay parades ect... If your just gay then just be gay and stop advertising. We don't...

And by you I don't mean you personally just in general.

I figure its just a way of embracing who you are. I've been to Irishfest two years now over in Wisconsin. They also have German fest over there. There's Greekfest in some cities. There's the black family reunion in DC every year. I think Latinos have something here as well.

It's not meant to be an advertisement as much as a call for the community to come together.

No one should have to live their life in the closet. Straight, gay, black, white or otherwise.

I can respect the people who think its wrong, amoral or what have you because no ones personal values are the same as anyone elses and they shouldn't be. But to embrace hate and discrimination...?

It makes me sad.

Well for what its worth, I dont hate you or anyone else. Its just as hard for you to understand the way I feel as it is for me to understand your feelings. have a nice evening

You don't speak for me. I'm a straight dude and I'm comfortable enough in my sexuality that the idea of there being a gay dude in the locker room with me, or a gay dude coming out (which is a big deal if you were to educate yourself), or gay people going to parades doesn't give me the creeps because IDGAF, and I find your suggestion above incredibly lame and Culliver's marks incredibly offensive.
