Poll Suggests America Has Turned A Corner On Homophobia

Whay "our" society rejects? Speak for yourself, dude! I'm all about it!

Huh? What does "trying to be their type of sexual activity" even mean? 'Sexual activity' may be a component of the relationship I have with my partner, but it certain isn't the main or only part. I feel sorry for you if you feel sexual activity defines your relationship with your partner.

"As far as the military is concerned, the only way this can work, would be if the committed 'homosexuals/Gay' members of the military had their own barracks/showers, just like females are separated from males." -- Why would this be any more necessary than it is now? Gays are already serving in the military.

NO ONE was ever in fear of homosexual type sex? And you know this because you've polled the entire world?

And I'm going to need the rest of the afternoon off to try and figure out what to make of "people were trying to BE their type of sexual activity..." Is that what I try to do with my wife when the kids are asleep, or is that something I do in public?

Any help appreciated.

Wow, you have some serious issues, don't you Bloggin?

So what you're saying is that right wing religious nut jobs don't actually have a problem with two guys getting naked, they just don't want to know it exists? And they want the people who do it to remain hidden away, like they were in a, oh I don't know, closet? Perhaps? Odd, but straight people are allowed to hold hands, make out and show affection in public, isn't that BEING their sexuality?

And the raging homophobia/sexual confusion behind the idea of "separate but equal" is hilarious, and so revealing. So you imagine that if you had to share a bathroom with a member of your own gender, any gay people in there might want to start an orgy, or do you, or maybe what's really bothering you is that the idea turns you on just a teeny bit.

May I suggest working through your insecurity/homosexual issues?

It continues to amaze me that people - typically people who don't know any gay people and tend to be pretty psychosexually infantile about how orientation takes shape - take to these nebulous and assinine mouthings about "lifestyle" as something they object to. What the fuck does that even mean? Of course gay people are going to associate with gay people (among others), and it will result in a community with certain characteristics. Gay identity is about infinitely more than "what kind of sex they choose to have," but why try and explain it to you?

Is the Italian "lifestyle" about "what type of sauce they choose to eat?"

The most widely used term to describe the group is LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered).

The problem lies rooted in the context of social control. If they can effectively pass laws prohibiting someone to "BE" themselves, that sets precedent for dangerous levels of social control for other groups. Perhaps the next target would be a group that you identify with and consider yourself to "BE".

To your point about bathrooms, this was already dealt with in DADT. You've got gays showering with straights already, what's going to change? Certainly the military code of conduct wrt interpersonal relationships will not change one iota and that should about cover it. I lived in a shared space with several gay men; going to the bathroom was never an issue (unless you're Larry Craig I guess).
