great argument
make a [I]very[/I] feeble attempt at explaining yourself and if you're still challenged just call them names and rate dumbs and you're good to go
to expand upon my previous post: you said "let me explain" and then all you really said was "I don't like the way they dress" and "their sexuality (or expression thereof) makes me uncomfortable"
so why don't you actually address what I said like a big boy if you're going to argue
[QUOTE=Lachz0r;36544372]grow up. if it's not hurting anybody who cares? it takes pretty minimal effort to either a. look away or b. move away if it really bothers you that much[/QUOTE]
Im not talking about me, im talking about people in general. If you do that kind of shit in public you make yourself look bad.

[QUOTE=Key_in_skillee;36544373]No they aren't. There are public decency laws.[/QUOTE]
of course there are (and rules of dress in private settings like banks etc. are different). like you can't walk around naked and you can't go around shouting curses
so which public decency laws are the fellows in the OP violating?

Just because they're gay doesn't mean no one is allowed to complain if they're in public wearing something that's near-pornographic, and it doesn't mean everyone who complains is a bigot. People would complain if non-homosexuals went in public wearing something that obscene.

"go around in public pretending to fuck people"?
well for one thing, that's an even further (and petty) distinction to make of a group that's already a minority in a minority. furthermore that kind of thing happens in clubs a lot so apparently it's more socially acceptable than your narrow view of the world might admit

I never said they are violating any laws, there are however, far more tactful ways of expressing themselves then stripping to the bare minimum of clothing and pretending to fuck each other, and like I acknowledged before, this is not all of them. However those that do perform these actions give a bad image to the rest of them.

Because something that's socially acceptable in clubs has to be appropriate out in the public park in broad daylight.
Do you even listen to yourself?

well, it's a parade it's not like they're just wearing it as casual wear, just like here we have parades with chicks on motorcycles wearing no tops. seeing titties isn't the end of the world and neither is seeing a dude dressed in something 'near pornographic' (lmao). seriously it's not even a matter of gay or straight, it's just a matter of your infantile mindset, like i said, look away or go away the world doesn't revolve around prudes and shouldn't

first you were talking about public decency, then what's about socially acceptable. now it's what has to be appropriate. people wear skimpy outfits and do questionably sexual things in public all the time, sometimes at the same time (bellydancing for instance)
so really it comes full circle to the question: why do you care what people do and dress like? you can answer that or not, I already know

yeah thats usually how being against something works
The parades may not always help abolish the stereotypes. The parades were set in place to show support, right? Isn't that the main message of the parades? Support for others like them? I know some behavior is a bit... odd, but many people are weird. I see nothing wrong with it, people will be people. Weird or not.
Yay, Rainbow Oreos. I would eat the entire package, if they were sold.
[QUOTE=NowWeWin;36544630]Yay, Rainbow Oreos. I would eat the entire package, if they were sold.[/QUOTE]
I probably wouldn't because I tend to get sick from colored foods that aren't usually colored (rainbow bread, colored (not flavored) milk)
I guess that means I'm a homophobe :C
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;36541354]I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. If you don't find it to be your liking, don't participate. End of story.[/QUOTE]
That's not the point he's making.
Parades like this are kind of a double edged sword... I can imagine to a repressed gay youth, it can give them reassurance that they're not the only one out there. I can't really say.
But should we present muscular men in tight boxers and fairy wings as the face of homosexuality? I don't think so. It's contrary to the idea that gay people are completely normal human beings, the only difference being what gender they're interested in.
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;36541395]This is still discrimination, you're against something just because you don't like it
It's not like all gays act like this either, minority does if anything[/QUOTE]
Nor is he implying parades like this need to be banned. Simply that they can be counterproductive.

who is taking these people as the "face of homosexuality"? you shouldn't base your opinion of a group of people on [I]any[/I] single person or minority because if you do you're ignorant
straight people can do flamboyant, stupid, or offensive things too (like be homophobic!). do you judge all straight people by the actions of minorities?

He's not saying that's his personal view of it, he's presenting how a lot of people can view this. Many people in this country just see what they perceive as obscene from these parades and they tune out. They're not interested in hearing the message of the movement anymore. Their only understanding of gay people at that point is what they saw in the parades. They're often against obscenity, they make the link from the limited amount of information that they have that Gay=HORRIFIC SEX-CRAZED DEPRAVED MALES, and you have another misinformed homophobe. You can see this mentality in a lot of hate speech against homosexuality.
Yeah, that's not how a smart person would approach it, but let's face it, we don't exactly have a lot of those here.

You see how that analogy makes a WHOLE lot more sense?
