Do you stand up for gays and lesbians?

[Casanova]

No, i seriously dislike overly passionate people who get excited and worked up over nothing... but then again i get worked up over nothing alot so i guess i hate myself in a way.

How do I know they make a big deal out of it? I only have to read a few threads in this Forum, "OMG how do I come out", "I came out like this, what do you think of that", "I came out, did I do the right thing" are the kind of threads posted every day. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it I am just saying that Forums usually reflect society and if this is the behaviour then I'm not suprised people's reactions are "huge".

Seacat you're being quite narrow minded.. Coming out is a very scary ordeal for a gay person to go through. You hear horror stories everywhere. "Mum threw me out" "Dad disowned me" etc etc. It's only natural that people will want to share their experiences or seek advice from people who have been through it alreadyy. I understand where you're coming from but unless you've felt the pressure that a closetted gay person has felt, then you're not in a fit position to be saying that we make a big deal over nothing. Lol

As seacat has said, it reflects society, since socity is not yet fully acceptant of homosexuals, you get the scare storys.
But i do agree with him, gay people make a very big deal about comeing out? What do i base this on? the fact that "comeing out exists" i personly dont see why a gay person would ever feel the need to "come out" if they truely belived it was normal and acceptable themselves. You dont hear storys of straight people telling there friends and family they are straight do you? Why? most would say because that is seen as normal. But if thats true the homosexual community as a whole must thing that they are abnormal in order to feel a need to come out.
I feel the whole issue will end up like feminism has, aka at first (like with homosexualy at the moment) people feel the need to express themslves, test the new freedom, these people are the ones who have been somewhat oppressed, as time goes on, people wont have exspernced this opression, and the need will cease, like feminism, you will end up with the small minaorty who feel the need to blow everything related out of proportion, and then the rest of people who just get on with it "/

Personly i dont see sexually as such a big issue, i would think its strange if someone needed to specifically tell me they were straight or if they were gay. I mean, why would i really need to know? The whole need to come out, is one things thats always seemed pretty strange to me.

no, i don't stand up for them.

[Lycan]

i don't stand up for them ... but i treat people who are being horrible / calling names etc to people who are gay/lesbian the same as i do racists , so i don't see it as sticking up

[MusicPalace]

don't get me wrong here, i'm not saying that we should treat them any differently, all i'm saying is if they are getting talked nasty about just because of there sexuality we should stick up for them. What i really want to know is would u step in if they're getting talked nasty about just because of there sexuality?

[Demi]

I wouldn't stand up for them just because.
There'd have to be a reason.
Nothing against them or anything.
Just if it was bad.
Not just someone's opinion.

[MusicPalace]

i think i get wat your saying, but then again i don't really understand much, cause i'm always confused! lol

[Caution]

I would if given the chance.
