To me, it is the same as the straight people beating up the gay people on the playground at school just because they are gay or, an admittedly lesser extreme example, straight people saying "I do not mind someone being gay - but I will never vote to allow them to be a first class citizen like us straight people." I think both of those latter events are outrageous

I mean Curtis never got huffy when it was suggested that he was straight - I think the mindset is it is gross to be gay - that hurts people and it is generally not the mindset around here

Food for Thought - and not proffered with a condescending tone

Thank you for that, Jason. You said it well. I know y'all said you didn't want to make a big issue of this, but I find it really upsetting and this is the only place online I feel I can be completely honest without someone jumping down my throat, or nearly doing that. Curtis would not get upset if someone thought he was straight, and I would not get upset if a guy flirted with me. It's fine.

I'm not going to say "Ewwwwww no! I would never think of a guy that way!" For one, that might be just a tad hurtful to the guy, and secondly, I think we're all lying to ourselves if we say we've never thought of both a guy and a girl in that way at some point in our lives. It's not like I can't look at a guy and say he's sexy. I'm not afraid someone's going to say, "You're straight!" It doesn't really matter.

And I flirted with both Amber and Krista last night (okay, we'll just have to embellish a bit and pretend that what I do can actually be considered flirting) but neither one of them appeared to be remotely offended, and both are heterosexual.

And I won't rack my brains trying to determine the gender and sexual orientation of the person I'm talking to on here. It's always nice to know, but I wouldn't force it out of anyone because I don't see how it's necessary to know. I had a little crush on someone from another message board last summer but I didn't even know the person's gender. I found out a month later that it was a guy. I found it amusing that it had been a guy and I'm a lesbian, but I wasn't repulsed. Even though I would only date girls, it was kind of an eye-opener to me--an indication that it's the person that matters the most, not the gender.

And I'm not angry with you, 1/2 insane. I don't want you to think that. I just really want to get my feelings out and be heard. This subject matter hits oh so close to home.

^ Wants some weed, even if it is second hand weed.

That "tool" joke wasn't directed towards Hill...haha
I am glad you said what you felt. I can't help but try to figure people out. I think i am getting mistaken for "judging" people (not in a bad way). I am not trying to do that. I just joined this to basically meet other people who are into THE MAC. Maybe make some friends...But I will not lie, I will still be trying to figure people out. I like knowing who I am talking to...but I see all y'alls points about it not mattering(?) sexual preferences and sex.

sunmaiden · #**374** 01-05-2005, 09:41 PM

^Don't be greedy, pass the weedy...

Please. Did I say I hated anyone because they were gay? No. The whole thing got started when The Tower made what I thought was a gesture towards me. If it was a mistake I said “I’m sorry.” I even deleted my post. Hell I don’t remember. Can we PLEASE just let it go already. I stated my opinion and that’s all it is. Lets not make something out of it that it doesn’t have to be. I’m sorry Hillary. That’s all I can say is “I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry.” What else do I need to say?
