People are really reaching for QBs this year if Ryan Nassib and Mike Glennon being talked about as 1st or 2nd round prospects
What about gay Mexicans, what hope do they have?
Think of all the gay people who killed themselves because they hated being gay. If it was so easy to just say "ok I'm not gay anymore" I'm sure that would have been the easier option. The kids who get beat up and disowned, I'm sure many of them would have stopped being gay if it meant keeping the love of their family. The people who are killed in Iran and uganda, I'm sure they would have taken the easy choice that keeps them alive.
It's possible for gays to pretend, and suppress who they are to the point that it's unhealthy and leads to mental instability. Those ex-gay camps are bullshit though, they are heavily condemned by serious psychiatric associations. They are unhealthy. They are the reason we have people like Ted Haggard ruining their family, because they just had to get it out of their system after years of suppression. They are always confronted with the fact that they are living a lie.
I know there is SOME who choose, life is to complex to rule that out, but they are a small minority.
You and your avatar being the same as Bingo, I'm not sure if I can insult you or not until I look at the name. I see you're Mem, so your monkey has hives! (I don't care if that makes sense, it's an insult, trust me.)
Your favorite Smith was Reggie! Suck it!
You can't stop being Mexican, but you can stop being gay.
Hmmmm. I'm sure all those boys who went through reorientation camp to try to turn straight and failed and ended up dealing with extreme depression, loneliness and often turning to suicide just could have turned off their gay like a light switch.You can't stop being Mexican, but you can stop being gay.
Comparing sexual orientation to race is highly questionable.
The "I have gay friends" line died 10 years ago. Sorry, but friends don't cut down their friends for who they are. Most people who hold views like yours yet think you have close gay friends don't realize those "gay friends" generally aren't as close to you as you think and never will be.Of course I know there's a difference between gay and straight. I live in San Francisco. I have gay friends and I have no problem whatsoever with that community.
Being anti-gay is wrong and it's not politically correct to say as much. It is wrong. It is as wrong as racism and sexism. People need to stop thinking it's OK to be anti-gay or hold anti-gay positions. It is NOT OK.My entire qualm is about the political correctness aspect of it, and about how everyone should be entirely comfortable with the idea of same gender sex.
OK, so someone is honest in their bigotry, which is exactly what homophobic views are, bigotry. Immature biased views against homosexuality..........ignorance. It doesn't matter what label you slap on it, wrong is wrong, and if you truly were a friend to the gay community, you wouldn't be an apologist to homophobia.I'm comfortable with it, but I can also see why someone else wouldn't be. And I absolutely hate when labels like 'bigot' and 'anti-gay' are easily thrown around when someone is honest in saying he/she isn't comfortable with the idea.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's this x 1000.Ok, then substitute "Jewish" for "Gay." Do you "understand" someone's discomfort with a person being a Jew? If so, I think that bears looking at.
We all have prejudices. I'm not entirely comfortable with the immigrant Chinese culture. However, I'm under no illusion that my problems with that lifestyle aren't bigoted. I own it, and I've become much more tolerant. I'm hoping the same for Culliver.

Based on what?
Based on the fact that being anti-gay is a negative bias against persons on the basis of their sexual orientation and that alone is not a rational reason to be negatively biased towards someone.
No, pedophilia is a criminal pathology of control and manipulation of a victim. That would be like saying "rapist" is a sexual orientation. Nothing to do with a consenting relationship between two members of the same sex. Nice try though.
