Originally Posted By dennis-in-ct <<< Can't you just keep it private like most people do >>> Because we do not have the laws in place to recognize and protect our civil rights. There are bigots who see being gay as a behavoir and not an attribute. I cannot go a shrink and pay money for sessions and say "fix me" It doesn't work like that. Gays today are fighting for civil rights just as black people did in the 60s. We cannot be driven down by hate and accept being second class citizens because we make people uncomfortable. Do you know it was only 40 years ago that black and white people were allowed to marry? Can you imagine something like that had to be fought in the supreme court??? Why were black people made to sit in the back of the bus? Drink from a different water fountain? Not allowed to go to schools with the whites? Why? Because they were different and made people uncomfortable. Other's felt they were better. And black people are no different than anyone else. And they know it and fought for laws to protect them. Gay people make other people uncomfortable too. It is sad and true. There are hateful out there who think we should be killed and dragged by cars just as Mathew Sheppard was. Why? Well, he was just a queer. Nice. Don't under estimate the rights and privillages you have as a citizen. You don't realize it until someone WITHOUT those rights reminds you of what you have. We gays need the laws in place for us. Until that happens, we are not sitting back and being quiet so YOU can feel comfortable.

You need to learn how NOT to be a bigot. You need to learn you are part of a global community and Gay people exisit because they do. Science and American Psychological Association have made offical statements <a href="http://www.apa.org/pi/statemen.html" target="_blank">http://www.apa.org/pi/statemen .html</a> on the matter back in 1975. For you to tell me I don't deserve *my* civil rights is frightening. You sound like you would fit nicely in the bigoted era of the 60's and a good NAZI sending everyone who isn't YOU to die - because they are different.... yeah ... way to be a citizen ... nice....

Originally Posted By Labuda And, just because I haven't seen it addressed yet... "Why does Disney promote Gay Day?" THEY DON'T. They accept money from anyone wanting to have a private party, etc. Heck, Christians in large groups scare me so I'd never want to be there for Night of Joy, yet DISNEY PROMOTES IT. They do NOT promote Gay Day. They just are not going to refuse paying guests. ((((hugs galore for all people here who are not bigots)))) And much pity for the close-minded.

I think someone who labels herself a "pirate" should know better than promoting a holier than most attitude. But oh well... we gays are used to the bashing and such, and it won't deter us from pushing forward for equal rights and treatment, and if it ticks off a few along the way, then it's worth it tenfolds. Get a clue sister, this is the 21st century, and my tax money pays for your straight son's war service and his federal-freeloading family's maintenance. Get some mascara wearing tips from Jack Sparrow...

Ok, I know...don't feed the troll, but I just want to point out that gay people are forced the straight "agenda" every single day. How often do you see straight people holding hands, or kissing (sometimes almost pornographically) in the streets? How many sex scenes in films and TV do we see? How is any of that not shoving the straight "agenda" down people's throats? Oh, because it's "normal", or the "majority"? It's just amazing to me how people cannot fathom the hypocrisy of it. How much gay imagery does the average straight person see in a day compared to "normal" hetero activity, huh? The ONE time you might be forced to deal with something out of your comfort zone and you freak out and say something is being forced on you. Welcome to the real world...grow a pair! Sorry to be so blunt...and kind of rude, but that particular poster wasn't exactly smelling of roses either. No offense to the rest of you in this thread.

I am going to PRIDE tomorrow in Providence Rohde Island!! I can't wait to see the only night time PRIDE parade - on the RIVER no less. It sounds awesome. We are going to hang out at the State Capital (also the festival grounds) and then see the parade. E-mail me (TDLFAN has my address) and maybe we can drive to providene to meet up. We have never been to the clubs there - it would be fun to go !

I feel sorry for the gay people you do know, as I can't imagine what you say behind their backs, or to their faces even... I gotta go get me some intolerant friends now, I feel left out!
