Steve King: Gays Shouldn't "Flaunt It" If They Don't Want To Suffer From Discrimination - Polidicks

[QUOTE=thisispain;21955170]what?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Reaver1991;21955516]Explain this to me slowly, please.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Triumph Forks;21955709]He doesn't hate them because they're gay; he hates them because they're faggots[/QUOTE] Not in the slightest. The thing you guys don't seem to get, is that i'm talking about flamers. Not all gays are flamers. But all flamers are gay. Flamers are the ones that make their life and pesonality and dress style revolve around the fact that they're gay. Y'know, the stereotype. I don't like flamers because i don't like the various traits they all carry, and i don't like the fact that they openly promote a stereotype that is commonly thought all gays carry. As a result, many straight people think all gay people are flaming homos. As a result of this, alot people think that homosexuality comes with a personality too, when really all it is is a sexuality. I said "Gays like that" Meaning gays that fall under the stereotype. Not all gays. I [b]Do not hate gays, i hate some gays who fall under the stereotype. Not because they're gay, but because of how they act and dress, normal non stereotypical homosexuals are fine[/b] Hate is a strong word actually. I dislike them alot. It's not like i think they should all die or have any less rights or some shit. I just don't like them as people. Just to go over it one more time: [img]http://www.mikealvear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/can-you-be-too-gay-300x300.jpg[/img] I don't like. shit example, too far fetched and contrived example, but it's the best i could find. Sorry. [img]http://a.abcnews.com/images/2020/abc_guys_bench_080424_mn.jpg[/img] [img]http://z.about.com/d/gayteens/1/0/g/-/-/-/GayTeenCouple.jpg[/img] Perfectly fine. Even the second picture. Theres nothing wrong with caring for your looks or being outgoing with them. You can be too outgoing with them though.

[QUOTE=TH89;21911496]Yeah dude gays need to understand that they are creepy and gross and need to hide the fact that they are gay from everyone Only then will we have true equality[/QUOTE] I tend to agree with the article. It's not that gays are "icky", it's that people acting like idiots are annoying. I can wear bright-ass clothes and talk with a voluntary slur or some other stereotypical behavior, and regardless of my actual sexuality I will probably be discriminated against for acting like an utter retard.

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21953156]I know it isn't their fault, but if you would be discriminated for thinking certain things, don't you think you'd want to be quiet about it? Gays should be able to do whatever they want, but unfortunately that just isn't how things are yet, and they should act accordingly, and if they don't then...unfortunately discrimination is surely possible.[/QUOTE] if gays all live in the closet, then society will never be accepting of the because society won't know they exist. Discrimination will not go away on it's own, it has to be actively fought.

No, he is not right, gays should fight for their right, and shouldn't stop until people will totally stop discriminating them. And why the hell would they stop fighting for their rights now, when they have already went this far?

ew icky thats gross *hand thing* Fuck, I hate over-projected gays.

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21955525]He doesn't not like gays because they're gay He doesn't like them because they're forcing their gayness on him (???) [editline]10:48PM[/editline] Being rude is never alright, it will never get your point across, and it will only make your side look bad and immature. [editline]10:49PM[/editline] I'm sorry that I don't agree with your "perfect" thoughts, I'm sorry that I think that if you must conceal who you are to be safe then you should. I'm not trying to be as rude as you say I am, I'm really not, I'm bad at wording my thoughts I guess. I support gays, and I'm all for their rights, but they should do whatever they need to survive. If you're going to try and be rude to me again, then you need to grow the fuck up, and leave people to their opinions. I never meant to demean gays, end of story.[/QUOTE] The problem is, you're not getting it. You think it's fine that other people discriminate and hate gays just for being gay, you're not going to understand. You're a fucking bigot.

[QUOTE=staticman;21911407]Yeah!

I agree with Steve King. The sooner we all look the exact same the better. I look forward to the day that everyone is bound by law to wear the same clothes, have the same haircut and talk the same way. No more of that stupid diversity.

The people you associate with are obviously retards. [QUOTE=Keeshond v2;21973824]That and, i just dislike them as people in the same way that alot of people dislike emos.[/quote] People dislike emos for the same reason that people dislike furries - they see other people doing it and they think they should as well. It's quite different from homophobia, which often stems from religious and other forms of indoctrination beginning at childhood.

I haven't seen anyone comparable to Bruno outside of sitcoms

I don't associate with them anymore. Also, stop linking my dislike of the stereotype to homophobia please. I don't hate gays. I dislike a small group of gays because of who they are. Not because of their sexuality. Hating the stereotype =/= hating gays and being homophobic

[QUOTE=staticman;21911349] Hey, Mr. King, [B]I've looked at your test, I'm afraid you have Sickbigotedbastardism... It's a painfull disease, it's fatal, and there's no cure. I'm afraid the only option is for you to kill yourself.[/B][/QUOTE] You damned furries present your fetish in any place you find, Rather it be fit or not. And you get shoved around for the retards you are. I don't see how homosexuals going around presenting themselves in situations they know are unfit does not encourage discrimination and hate, I feel they're forcing it down our throats when they walk up and say "Hello my name is Adam, This is my boyfriend carl and we like to wear short-shorts and suck eachother's cock when we go home at night" .

Being gay is a okay. Being flamboyant, whether gay or not is really annoying.

The only thing I can't stand about gays is if they talk in that 13 year old schoolgirl accent.
