Roy Steele LGBT rallies with half clad gays gays and roaming lesbians? Declasser. Every time I turn on the television, open a magazine, or go outside I see half clad straights and roaming women on the streets of San Francisco. Luckily when we have celebrations here - the half clad gays are no clad. Fabulous!
Roy Steele This academic study is one you should definitely check out. Homophobia is more pronounced in people with unacknowledged attraction to the same sex. In some quarters they are called "closet cases." http://www.futurity.org/top-stories/some-anti-gay-bias-may-be-self-directed/
Roy Steele Challenging genetic theories and origins of homosexuality indicates you are motivated by bigotry. You suggest that heterosexuality is superior and "normal" while you state flaunting one's "gayness" should and can be hidden or cured. Your fears and discomfort around all things gay is homophobia.
Roy Steele I'm limited to 300 chars & you cite no facts. A thoughtful discussion deals in facts that are supported by data. The Council for Responsible Genetics says the only reason people question biological and and genetic factors that determine one’s sexuality, is entirely caused by homophobia (bigotry).
Roy Steele If Obamacare was repealed as many as 50 million people would<br>be affected. This bill is good for the economy, as it will<br>create jobs. Insured Americans pay for the uninsured - so<br>that should be eliminated as well will should reduce the<br>cost of delivery. It's insane when people speak of repeal.
Roy Steele Corporate America is fickle. I had been pressuring Target<br>and talking with them for almost a year before they made<br>this move. Walmart takes a step forward then 5 steps back.<br>Barnes and Noble is currently supporting some very anti-gay<br>groups. Check out jiveinthe 415.com to learn more. Cheers!
Roy Steele There are a lot of good comments in this thread. I was<br>reminded of why I headed straight for Manhattan (no pun<br>intended) after college, and also reinforces why we tend to<br>live in urban gay ghettos. I think Darwin summed it up<br>nicely - bigotry and hatred is learned, and there is safety<br>in numbers.
Roy Steele Many more than 7 things have changed. I'm not criticizing<br>your pov, but things like glass windows in LGBT bars, a lost<br>generation of men to HIV/Aids, it used to be LG not LGBT or<br>LGBTQ, NYC has always been diverse, and after the steps<br>forward....there is still rampant homophobia everywhere. C<br>Below
Roy Steele what pray tell is a "special right"?
Roy Steele This question was settled when FDR was president, and the<br>New Deal legislation was passed in Congress, and upheld by<br>the Supreme Court. We've accepted that we'd take care of the<br>elderly and those in extreme poverty, & the Ryan budget &<br>GOP wants to eliminate everything except for corporate<br>welfare.
Roy Steele And the half-term former governor of Alaska is relevant to a<br>political discussion because.......???? You reveal your<br>partisanship with your misspelling of Malia Obama's name.
Roy Steele President Obama leading in the swing states. Willard Romney<br>has luke warm support from GOP, and is going to spend $2<br>Billion to try to buy the election vs. Obama's $1Billion.<br>Women, African Americans, Latinos, LGBT, people of color all<br>for Obama. Romney support = old white men=disaster
Roy Steele LGBT people have "straight" lifestyles shoved down their<br>throat 24/7. The choice LGBT people have is to live in the<br>closet or out. Your sexuality is an immutable trait, the<br>same for LGBT people. Bottom line is that LGBT people make<br>you feel uncomfortable, and your response is called bigotry.
