When did it become so 'cool' to be gay?

Just curious, Fuzz. I am amazed you have only been married once to be honest. The woman must be a saint. Congrats, you got lucky.
Actually married twice, but this second one has lasted nearly 30 years.
My first wife has been married and divorced 4 times so I don't feel so bad that, that one didn't work out. She was definitely no saint.

Did you pay alimony for the first wife or did you change your name and deny that you were that previous person?

"What alimony? You must have me confused for another former husband"

Seeing that my first wife earned (she is currently retired waiting out a non-compete agreement) probably 5-10x my earnings (she's had some near 7 figure years) if there were any alimony to be paid, she'd have been paying it.

So did you have a problem with Charlton Heston pimping the NRA? Ted Nugent and his political activism?

Entertainers who talk politics at their shows put their careers at risk. Dixie Chicks anyone?
For many entertainers...and I'm referring to mostly musicians, politics and societal issues are a big driving factor in the music they make. It's what got them to write that song. Others might just feel strongly about something.

If you don't like it, don't go to that artist's shows.
Not as easy as that, many times you have no clue it is going to happen. Once it does, I don't return. BTW, I do not care for any entertainer Nugent or otherwise who pushes their agenda's at their concerts. So I do not go. Heston was at NRA rallies, poor example. You know what you are getting when you go there.

Yes because someone who likes to have sex with the same gender is on par with Rosa Parks. I always find this comparison extremely insulting to the black community.

Amazing article on why this comparison is absurd.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...-struggles-a-disgrace-to-the-black-community/
Yeah because we know that breitbart is so objective.[laughing]

Gays exist and have existed in every culture since the beginning of time despite the fact that they've been historically shunned and persecuted including executed. You'll have to reconcile how that is without there being some biological reason.
Because science hasn't found a "gay gene" could mean many things. Science has also not found a "smart gene" or an "athletic gene". Imagine the social firestorm if we discovered that one race of people was genetically smarter than another. Josef Mengele was conducting research that was considered to be unethical. Perhaps nobody has looked too hard for that "gay gene" because they fear being labled Mengele-like?

Before you go the pedophile route...the difference is consent.

I suppose you just looked over the African American's quotes and outrage of the comparison which, was the entire focus of the article.


I must have missed when we enslaved gays and banned them from restaurants and schools and hung. . Gays have not had fire hoses or dogs unleashed at them. They have not been hung from trees or denied basic human rights.

Celebrating someone's sexual attraction is idiotic. If you're truly for equality don't stop there. Let's make sure every desire is celebrated so no one feels left out.

This already happens. Gaming conventions, outdoors conventions, gun conventions, tech conventions, furry conventions, porn conventions, etc... Everyone celebrates their interests. Gay people are interested in the gay community so they celebrate it.

It's your opinion that it's idiotic and that's fine....but people who are not gay do similar things.

Just like you aren't forced to go to a Dungeons and Dragons convention, you also are not forced to go to a gay pride parade.

I guess you've overlooked the fact that the black community as a whole has been much less receptive to gays than the general population as a whole.
Also to claim that gays haven't been persecuted throughout history, mind boggling.

I'm sure when people stop trying to deny gays their rights, they will no longer feel the need to be seen as different.

I remember when OP made a post complaining about friends who won't go to his parties after him and his wife make cute little RSVP invitation cards.

Cute little RSVP cards? I have no idea how you came up with that gem. IIRC, I was mainly complaining about the lack of common courtesy that seems the norm nowadays and used the example of someone who doesn't acknowledge an invitation to an event. There's this thing called evite and email that servers as an 'invitation'. I was taught to acknowledge an invitation because it's the polite thing to do.

Now, back to the original thread.....

I disagree that there is not an agenda being pushed. It's being aggressively pushed in our schools, our universities, major media outlets, etc. i would fight for gay's rights to be left alone but don't try to make me or anyone else celebrate. I, too, despise performers who inappropriately blather on about their beliefs. I bought a ticket to a rock concert, not a political fundraiser. At least be honest and advertise the event for what it is if that's how you're going to work. Bet ticket sales would be less if Springsteen said - hey, I'm coming to your town to sing a few songs and talk about issues I think are important. Just the wrong place and time, imo. I don't want to hear Ted Nugent discuss guns at his concert, either. On the other hand, I think he sucks *** so I wouldn't be there in the first place.

Yes, you do. But starting a thread on it shows otherwise.
See, I disagree. Because, as my original post stated, you are not allowed to not care anymore. Get on board or be labled a 'hater'. And, if you really want to see discrimination and hate at work, disagree with a Liberal sometime (or, to be fair, a far righty, too - but Liberals hold themselves out to be 'inclusive', except when inclusive includes differing points of view).

This is not a Muslim country so yes I think it's a total joke to act like there has been massive murder or enslavement or segregation to a group that likes to sleep with the same gender in this country. Once again this group makes up 3% at best.

Also argrub, you're comparing a convention of hobbies to someone being proud of what gets them off and needing to base their identify off of it and shout it from the roof tops? Do we need awareness weeks for "I get off to feet" people? Or "I like to dress up like a furry and have sex" week?

Acting like that is on par with a group of nerds getting together at Comic Con is ridiculous. How many straight pride weeks are there again?

I got a memory like an elephant. I remember **** before it happens. Own up to it. You made RSVP cards and they prolly had little doilies laced around the edges.

About this little fun fact in which we may need to revisit whether or not we can marry our animals.

Fact 1. There are 1 billion Muslim men in the world .

Fact 2. Muslim men love to fornicate with sheep/goats

Fact 3. We have 7 billion people living on Mother Earth.

Ok. We have three basic absolute facts here. If 99% of those Muslim men desired farm animal relationships. That means as a global society, that is 1/7th of planet population that condones that kind of relationship. Hmmmm, it appears to me that the majority is trying to talk, but no one is listening....

Just trying to say it doesn't bother me if people are proud they're a gay....because that's what it boils down to. It's my opinion.

I've yet to run into a person, in real life, who made it a point to come up to me and tell me they were gay. We've been over the media...they have the loudest voice and there are many fanatics. I do not deny this.

You can't generalize the entire community based on a diatribe of some hardcore feminist lesbian with a bullhorn who wants to stomp your balls into infertility.

You should be in Orlando this week. It's Gay Days. There are billboards. On highways.

OP, looks like you've finally discovered a way to make everybody think you're awesome. Go ahead and blow as many guys as possible and then get LEX18 to interview you. You'll be a social media phenom with a book deal in no time. I promise.

I expected better answers.. 3/10

First, define "blow".

I'd probably do it for a Doc Boat lifestyle. I'm talking 275 days of vacation, multiple properties in exotic and/or ****** locations, Porsche, boats n stuff, jacuzzi lampin' on the reg, etc etc etc. Probably pick up a coke habit and just forget I ever s'd that d.

You must have a pretty good reputation on the market if you're charging that type of money, but good for you on finding your niche.

I'd suck a d for a couple million dollars, a jet, a mansion and 50 pounds of the strongest weed on the planet.

Have no problem with gay thing and think they should have the same rights as everyone.

Can we just all have the same rights already. I am so tired of trumping up some group so everyone knows their plight. At least we have decided that being fat is a blight on society so we can make fun of them again. Not being able to make fun of fat people for 10 years from the mid 90's to the mid 00's is probably the reason America got so fat over those 10 years. Lo and behold we start dogging them again and people stop eating so much McDonald's and start going to the gym again.
