AS FAR AS LESBIANS
THATS HOW THEY TREAT ME
I TELL YOU THE NEXT TIME,SOMEONE IS LOSING THEIR TEETH

Lol i'm loving this chick... just tell them to back the f*ck up...

WELL IM NOT EASILY ANGERED
BUT WHEN I GET SEXUALLY HARRASED
MY BLOOD BOILS
BECAUSE I DONT DO THAT
TO ANYONE ELSE
I DONT KNOW WHY
IM JUST BEIN HONEST HERE
IT BOTHERS ME MORE IF
ITS A LESBIAN
IT MAKES ME WANNA RE ARRANGE THEIR FACE!!!

Miss Cancer, I agree with you. The sexual aspect of any relationship
should be in private only, and between 2 consenting adults. Anyone who
flaunts their sexuality is just trying to get attention. Its clear that
they have some issues with the whole thing. I am a nurse, and work with
many male nurses who are gay. There are those who you cant really tell
they are gay until you get to know them. There are those who are
obviously effeminate, but who never flaunt there sexual orientation.
They are kind of like, just one of the girls. They are sensitive,
intelligent and fit in, just like everyone else. Then there are those
who openly flaunt their sexual preference. They make everyone
uncomfortable with their words and actions. These gays, I could do
without. I believe that these people have a mental illness for one
reason or another,
and I worry about them. Most of these nurses are on antidepressants and
any number of other mood altering medications. They have trouble
sleeping and struggle socially
most of the time outside of their gay circle of friends. I try
to get along with everyone. Sometimes it is hard to not be judgemental.
I do think that lesbians have it easier than gay men. Lesbian
relationships tend to be more socially acceptable. I remember
a lesbian couple who were neighbors of my parents when I was a young
girl. Everyone knew what they were. They didnt flaunt it. They just
lived peacefully as a couple in their house, just like everyone else.
They wore mens clothing and had short haircuts. They went fishing a
lot. They each worked a job, did
their own car and home maintenance and were active in the community.
Normal loving relationships are a good thing, no matter what your sexual
orientation is. I know that the Bible says something about same sex
activity not being acceptable, but God
created all of us and loves us unconditionally.
I believe that people who are homophobic, think that all gays
want to have sex with "them" They need to understand that they
may not be attractive to gays, just as, not all heterosexuals
are attracted to all other heterosexuals, just because theyre
heterosexual. So you naughty old Homophobics out there, you can
unclamp your butt cheeks and relax! They dont want you anyway.

What I had an issue with is the guys name Party_Fag. doesn'that sound
derogatory. I thought he was some gamer or someone going to cause
trouble. I would have thought he would choose a name that was not
flamitory towards gays in general. If a black guy choosed a name using
the N word. Would that be appropriate?

I watched a documtary on homophobes. It's been proven in studies that
when men whom are extremely homophobic are hooked up to sensors and
shown pornographic material containing gay sex, they become sexually
aroused. The more homophobic they are, the more sexually aroused they
become. Think about this guys this is fact.

As far as the name party_fag Recon, most gays or lesbians I have known
and do know, my hairdresser is gay...joke about it. Maybe they make
light of it because others are so uptight!

J

Nothing wrong with party_fag... especially since he's gay.

Gay, straight, whatever... I think it all doesn't matter.

Just be who you are.. .it's a shame there are people who are so scared
of it that they lash out in anger or violence...

I totally agree Vanchau, and for those who act out in violence against
homosexuality are the ones who have the problem!!

I love gay men as they make great friends and I never ever have to worry
about having sex with them even if I wanted to.

I was good friends with 2 gay men who were not seeing each other(they
happen to be first cousins sharing a house though). One of them asked me
one time if he could give me head after I knew him about a month. I said
HELL NO. He never mentioned it again and never came onto me in any way
after that.

My opinion on the marriage issue is simple. I think all "marriages"
that are done outside the church need to be called legal unions.
Marriage has more to do with religion and needs to be kept seperate. I
do think gays/lesbians need the legal benifits of marriage but leave
marriage for a man and a woman. So I am for homosexuals getting legal
unions and against homosexual marriages.

BTW the reason my ex left was because she choose to be with a woman
over me and the kids. I have spent plenty of time with lesbians and
gays.

Oh! Then vanchau

If I was black and decided to Call my self N(word) Nasi. That would be
OK with you?

You raise a good point J..I think most, if not all serious homophobes
are like that cuz they're afraid they're gay too and don't want others
to know it..hence the "macho" attitude they have towards gay
ppl...Bobcat Goldthwait said it brilliantly about ppl that beat gay
ppl...."I'm punchin yer face in cuz I'd really like to fuck you in the
ass"

You have a world of knowledge in that brain of yours Animal! Always
enjoy your comments! You're right on with that one! and I love ol'
Bobcat!

I neither agree or disagree, its one's personal choice. I have had many
homosexual friends, both male and female, however I myself am not gay.
Once my friends knew that I was straight things were great, I was only
asked once if I might be interested, no one got grabby or ignorant, just
a question which I answered and we were friends ever since.

And let me tell you, I LOVE to go shopping with a gay male, OMG it is an
experience, it is even better than going shopping with your best female
friend that you have been friends with since childhood.

when someone uses a derogatory term against theirselves it is not
considered the same thing recon. alot of black people use the word but
it ain't alright for me to use it, same as for gay people. when they use
it theirselves sometimes it becomes so mainstream that it loses the
power that a biggot needs it for.
i don't think too many people here would object if you left your kitty
pic up and changed your name to little furry pussy lol

HeHeHe!!!! Good one KB!


Here Kitty, Kitty!!

I heard a recent statistic..it said that 70% of gay men were born that
way...soooooo I'm guessing the other 30% got sucked into it??????

Thats nothing public. I read that mothers are responsible to guys being
guy. It has something to do with the XX and XY chomosone.

The arrangement of a mother's genes could affect the sexual orientation
of her son, according to a new study. The finding, detailed in the
February issue of the journal Human Genetics, adds fuel to the
decade-long debate about whether so-called "gay genes" might exist.

The finding, detailed in the February issue of the journal Human
Genetics, adds fuel to the decade-long debate about whether so-called
"gay genes" might exist.

The researchers examined a phenomenon called "X chromosome inactivation"
in 97 mothers of gay sons and 103 mothers whose sons were not gay.

X and Y

Chromosomes are large thread-like molecules that contain an organism's
genetic instructions. Humans have 23 chromosome pairs. The X chromosome
is one of two sex chromosomes in mammals; the other is the Y chromosome.
Females have two X chromosomes and no Y's, while males have one X and
one Y.

Even though women have two X chromosomes, only one is functional because
the other is inactivated through a process called "methylation."

"It gets wrapped up in a ball and is not used with the exception of a
few genes," explained study leader Sven Bocklandt of the University of
California, Los Angeles.

If one of the females' X chromosomes is not turned off, then there is
too much genetic material, which can lead to a harmful overabundance of
proteins. Down syndrome, for example, results from the presence of an
extra copy of chromosome 21.

Big difference

Normally, X chromosome inactivation occurs at random: half of the cells
in a woman's body will have one X chromosome inactivated, while the
other half inactivates the other chromosome.

However, when the researchers in the current study examined cells from
the 42 mothers who had at least two gay sons, they found that about a
quarter of the women in this group showed something different.

"Every single cell that we looked at in these women inactivated the same
X chromosome," Bocklandt told LiveScience. "That's highly unusual."

In contrast, only 4 percent of mothers with no gay sons and 13 percent
of those with just one gay son showed this type of extreme skewing.

Bocklandt thinks this suggest that a mother's X chromosomes partly
influences whether her son is gay or not.

"We think that there are one or more genes on the X chromosome that have
an effect on the sexual orientation of the sons of these mothers, as
well as an effect on the cells we were looking at," Bocklandt said.

Other chromosomes implicated

Bocklandt was also involved in an earlier study that looked at the
entire human genome of men who had two or more gay brothers. The
researchers found identical stretches of DNA on three chromosomes—7, 8
and 10—that were shared by about 60 percent of the gay brothers in the
study.

That study also found mothers to have an unusually large role in their
son's sexual orientation: the region on chromosome 10 correlated with
homosexuality only if it was inherited from the mother.

The results from these two studies suggest that there are multiple
genetic factors involved in determining a person's sexual orientation
and that it might vary depending on the person.

"We think that there are going to be some gay men who are X chromosome
gay men and some who are chromosome 7 gay men or chromosome 10 gay men
or some combination," Bocklandt said in a telephone interview.

Most researchers now think that there is no single gay gene that
controls whether a person is homosexual or not. Rather, it's the
influence of multiple genes, combined with environmental influences,
which ultimately determine whether a person is gay.

A touchy subject

Research into the genetics of sexual orientation is controversial.
Religious leaders who believe that sexual orientation is a choice argue
that such research is an attempt to legitimize homosexuality; others
worry that a detailed knowledge of the genetics underlying homosexuality
will open the door to genetic engineering that prevents it.

But Bocklandt doesn't think these concerns should prevent scientists
from asking the basic question of whether homosexuality has an
underlying genetic component to it or not.

"I have no doubt that at some point we'll be able to manipulate all
sorts of aspects of our personality and physical appearance," Bocklandt
said. "I think if there's ever a time when we can make these changes for
sexual orientation, then we will also be able to do it for intelligence
or musical skills or certain physical characteristics—but whether or not
these things are allowed to happen is something that society as a whole
has to decide. It's not a scientific question."
