Continuation of the female count thread...now the "homosexual behavior" thread

[Meowster]

Oh dear O_O

"I have a cousin who's a gay, and he seemed like a decent enough guy to me," said Iowa City, IA, resident Russ Linder, in Los Angeles for a weekend sales seminar. "Now, thanks to this parade, I realize what a freak he's been all along. Gays are all sick, immoral perverts."

Ha, that's insane. What, a parade of 50 people represents the entire gay population of the world? Uhm, wake up you retarded.... Iowa city resident.


I mean, look at porn stars. There are a hell lot more porn stars than the amount of people in that parade. And the average straight male watches a hell of a lot of porn, and a vast percentage of females too. Does that mean the entire human race is a twisted ballad of sexual deviation and taboo? Okay so they shouldn't have paraded it like that... That was just wrong. But I mean, 50 people out of... millions, don't represent Gays, just like 50 porn stars out of millions of people, don't represent mankind.

Although I bet you wish they did

It's the Onion, Yufster. It's called satire.

[Meowster]

Andddd now I feel retarded.

I knew that name sounded familiar.

[Trapezoid]

Yeah, it's fake, but what makes the article a classic is that it has a rather true message-- embracing those campy stereotypes is little more than self-ostracizing. Gay means you attracted to those in you're own gender. It doesn't mean that you have to act like the opposite gender, or like a flamboyant sexual deviant. Those are stereotypes, and if those stereotypes had never existed in the first place, then homosexuals would be almost completely accepted today.

[PeaceMan]

My point exactly.

[Las Naranjas]

The fact they are nothing but stereotypes, and there isn't 10% of the population that acts like that, is what leads many to not believe the 10% estimate.

On the subject of that Gay Bishop, can I just say:

Rowan Williams is totally l33t (to use the local parlence)

I was a fan of his when he was arch Bish of Wales (he confirmed me you know!) and he's the best thing to happen to the C.O.E for about 2003 years.

He's just such a NICE man, AND CLEVER!!!! What kind of crazy cmbination of things is that to occur in a religious thingamybob?!?!?!

I'd like to bring up the point the Cap'n made about hanging out with people and picking up their manerisms.
I am basically the antithesis of the italian stereotype, but I do have friends who are practically straight out of the mob movies, and when I hang out with them I always find myself acting like them afterwards.
Thank god it wears off.

So yeah. I agree with that.

[Captain Mostly]

I just wish gaits worked like that.

I have a friend called Gregg (who I once saw in some porn!!! He claims it wasn't him, but we all know better) with a particularly dapper gait, and I REALLY wish it'd rub off on me... oh well...

[Hobbes]

Gregg Berlanti?

But seriously, I've refrained from asking this question for fear of looking stupid, but I'm giving up...

...what's a gait?

I'm Dutch and can't find my dictionary at the moment, so that's *my* excuse, what's yours?

[SSH]

A gait is a slang term for genitals, and he wants it to "rub off"... hmmm!

j/k!

Your gait is the way you walk.

[Hobbes]

You had me there, for a moment...

[Captain Mostly]

I love the word gait. Although it's quite hard to use it when speaking, as everyone assumes you mean gate. BAH!
