How will you know the serious posters from the trolls?
Speaking of trolling...
Why are LGBT singled out for special attention? What about all the other forms of "alternative" sexuality? Does this mean LGBT discriminate against other forms of self expression?

Indeed. You can be pretty sure that those opposing gay marriage most vehemently are actually closeted homosexuals - even to their own conscious selves. Psychologists call it projection. Former pastor Ted Haggard knows a thing or two about this.

Yeah, I've noticed that. 1 thing I've liked about the game and people who play it. I haven't met a couple in-game yet though. Surprised I've gotten the replies I have though. Yeah I am a pirate.

How come B creeps you out? Also it is required to go to a psychiatrist in order to get the operation done. Months(Or even years) of therapy, hormones and all of that fun stuff before a surgeon would even consider doing it.

Hi there honey. Unfortunately for you, forum trolling is a rank 8 skill, and you just don't have it trained high enough. Please try again later.

Who cares?
I play Eve and interact with people based on who they are in corp/alliance chat and what they can contribute to the game.
Their gender, sexuality and choice of attire does not and should never come into it.
It makes no differenc whatsoever.

Hey I'm not against it at all. It doesn't even bother me on any real level past being a caring human being and worring about someone who would literally cut out healthy parts of their body willingly just to complete the illusion that they are not what they were born as.

/signed... Its nice to find people you have something in common with. As for why gay people draw attention to themselves by saying they're gay, well, gay people tend to have (intimate you trolls) relationships only with other, you know, gay people.

- What kind of "intimate" relationship are you going to have shooting at someone through a computer game? Gay Domis blow up just like straight ones
- What trolls? I haven't seen any trolling on this topic ever in Eve. Strongest emotion I've ever seen is maybe bemusement
- What about the Minmatar Gay Rights League? I think they're a gay corp. They should be able to help with your "intimate" podding needs. If not maybe start your own gay corp

You seem to think I was talking about finding other players for the type of relationships I was talking about. Clueless. I was making a general comment as to the reason why gay people tend to talk about being gay, openly. Makes it easier to hit on each other. As for talking about this with other players in the game, its something we have in common. Like enjoying Japanese animation, science-fiction, or Caldari spaceships. For chrissakes, I shouldn't be allowed to talk to other people about being gay for what reason?
And as for not seeing any trolling on this topic, read your own goddamn post, ass.
EDIT: I forgot to add this one, I suppose you don't think that there should be a channel for the Women Gamers Of EVE, do you?

You're the one who said you were looking for intimate relationships. As a point of fact, I merely asked why that was important in the context of the game. Originally by: Zions Child And as for not seeing any trolling on this topic, read your own goddamn post, ass.
You seem to want to see trolls. Sorry, there aren't any here. Haven't met anyone in my four years in the game who's disparaging of homosexuality in the least. Read my post again and you'll see that I simply pointed that out. Originally by: Zions Child I suppose you don't think that there should be a channel for the Women Gamers Of EVE, do you?
Who suggested this? I directed you to MGRL as people who might be able to answer your question (assuming they're still around).
Again, I get the feeling you're looking for trolls. Sorry, we're fresh out.
Try politics.

According to various studies, 5 to 10% of human population are gay, lesbian, or bi. So I'd expect about same percentage to be playing EVE. This means that in your alliance of 100 people there are probably around 5-10 people who are LGBT. If your alliance has 500 people then chances are that there are 25-50 LGBT people in it. I have no idea what difference that makes to anyone really.

In this thread I have learned that Zions Child sees people with opposing opinions as trolls. Also the comment about "5 to 10% of human population are gay, lesbian, or bi" surprised me, I thought it would have been higher, either that or I am just hanging with the wrong crowd .

It stands for women with too much testosterone, men with too much estrogen, people who want think "bi" equates to being fashionable, and people with birth defects (some confuse this as being a third gender).
The others are here, and want attention. Get used to it.

Sexuality is % based, like if you put and hot girl and hot guy in front of me, I would probably go shopping with the hot girl ***** about stuff say totally every sentence and max out my credit card then get all tarted up seduce the guy who is most likely straight (straights are soo easy to manipulate it isnt even funny anymore) then have lots of ice cream ;)
Labels, titles, branding should be left for consumer products it doesnt affect people therefore doesnt need to be used, I cant stand it when people announce their sexual orientation (in all forms, straights too)
I also think people abuse the discrimination card alot, which is annoying tbh and the whole pride crap is unfair and imo too pink (which is my worst colour).
I am from UK, EU is pretty chilled compared to US, which makes me wonder why we are acting like we are getting singled out :S
I get criticised alot for this people assume just because I wasnt griefed about my taste in stuff that everyone is fine but I have never actually met a single person gay / lesbian who has actually been mocked for what they like.
As for eve, not that I make it common knowledge about myself but I guess it is pretty obvious since I sound like a ***, no one cares, doesnt make a difference XD
Oh and for the sake of stuff, my ideal world would be where hot skinny strong women ruled over everything and men were slaves, imo this is really how things should be, men might turn me on but man they are useless at everything This is so not my main

For a peoples that tries so hard to not have your sexual preference define you, you sure go out of your way to draw attention to it.
It's a shame this thread has attracted such responses tbh. It's more matter of people wanting to know they're not alone. Considering the relationships built within eve over the years it only makes sense for people to seek other like minded or even open minded people to associate themselves with.
If caucasians were a minority and you were caucasian... eventually you'd been seeking out other caucasians to associate with. It's human nature to surround ourselves with familiarity.
I'm gay and I don't "desperately want you to know it". I'm simply stating it due to this thread. If asked, I'm honest about it. I have a handful of gay corpies as well and my alliance... well they love us haha!. We're out there... we even have our own in-game channel called "GLBTA".

Unless I missed some major breakthrough in technology allowing you to have sex over a chat channel, what relevance has gender or sexual orientation in a game like EVE, where most female pilots are played by "straight males" anyway ?
fakedithalfjoke: there's no such thing as gay, lesbian or transgender... there's only "annoyed by females, males or your own gender"... and there's no "bisexual", there's only "too horny for your own good" humans are not just omnivores, they're omnisexual... but some are vegetarian or whatever by choice, and that's pretty much the same with sex

I actually kindda agree with Roto in the sense that well gaypride / gay events kindda single us out and imo this LGBT was a bad idea, times have changed and we are just singling ourselves out, sure we should support each other but not for sexuality but general support and not narrowing it to sexuality only.
This also applies to awareness related stuff too, merge ALL the support groups together and help EVERYONE ignore all the 'special says' too This is so not my main

I can see where this stance comes from, but one must realize that without these minority events, time would not have been changed and if so would progress far slower than they have.
Interracial romance has been a point of contention in America since the first English settlers established colonies in the seventeenth century. In 1664 Maryland banned interracial marriage due to questions over whether the offspring of a black slave and a white person would be considered a free person or property. In following years, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and South Carolina instituted antimiscegenation laws which banned interracial marriage. In 1691 Virginia outlawed interracial couples and labeled their children as ôthat abominable mixture and spurious issue.ö When slavery was abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, many southern states instituted what were known as the ôBlack Codes.ö In addition to stripping freed slaves of most of their newly acquired rights, these codes continued the prohibition of marriage between whites and blacks. This was based on the commonly held notion that Africans, and Native Americans as well, were inferior races and interbreeding would pollute the white gene pool. When Congress tried to override the ôBlack Codesö by issuing a series of laws from 1866 to 1875, the Supreme Court declared most of the legislation void and upheld the southern statesÆ right to outlaw interracial marriage.
A couple from virginia were given two options by the court. A) Seperate or B) Each sentenced to a year in prison
I hope people can see the similarities here. People protest and raise awareness for very good reasons.
On a final note, Jade isn't a bad looking guy. Fortunately enough for him he's not my type as I'm not attracted to older men. Lol
I completely agree that everyone should be under the same banner... everyone is a minority in their own ways. It's sad that even within minorities(regardless which) people create segregation in their own communities no matter how small a community they're a part of.

Originally by: Akita T Unless I missed some major breakthrough in technology allowing you to have sex over a chat channel, what relevance has gender or sexual orientation in a game like EVE, where most female pilots are played by "straight males" anyway ?
fakedithalfjoke: there's no such thing as gay, lesbian or transgender... there's only "annoyed by females, males or your own gender"... and there's no "bisexual", there's only "too horny for your own good" humans are not just omnivores, they're omnisexual... but some are vegetarian or whatever by choice, and that's pretty much the same with sex
To the first paragraph, yeh I agree sexuality has no relevance to eve careless of if you are straight / gay / bi
I actually written alot explaining how you were wrong on the rest of what you said, then I decided to delete and play minesweeper
I hate topics like these tbh :(

Originally by: Icarus3 Ok Akita lets try this one again... look above your post @ my previous post and "READ" it Might make sense to you then
Can't say it does... unless you took Rotopod seriously, that is ? Or if Rotopod's response would be relevant. Care to explain the viewpoint you wished to convey with that ? As for my viewpoint, if it wasn't already clear : to me, talk of sexual orientation has no more relevance than talks about culinary preferences or favourite TV shows... probably even less than that. I won't treat any corpmate differently because he doesn't like the same foods, same TV shows or might have a different sexual orientation, and it will never be a factor whenever deciding if a person should be accepted as corpmate or not. I will find nothing wrong with joking about it either, as long as they understand it's a joke, for the only purpose of time-killing smalltalk, if the subject might get brought up.

Are you trying to say that sexual orientation is genetic as opposed to behavioural/environmental/social/other non-genetic factors ?
Lol don't get me wrong. My earlier post was meant to be in a humorous teasing manner. Seriously though, I had read that you failed to see the relevance in this. I believe my explanations as to why these happen is simple enough to understand really.
We all have our own opinions. If some don't see the relevance of it doesn't mean others won't and that it's not legit.
Everyone jokes around for sure. Though a gay person can only hear "***got", a black person can only hear "******", a jewish person can only hear "Jew" jokes to a certain extent before logging out of vent and seeking other audio venues.

Are you trying to say that you have sufficient reasons to make the assumption that sexual orientation is mainly genetic as opposed to mainly being the result of several behavioural/environmental/social/other non-genetic factors ?
Bio chemistry / psychology / biology / genetics
Go study them ;) I cant stand these types of topics, controversial threads are gay. My aim isnÆt to convince you of anything, you serve me no benefit therefore I donÆt care what you say but I will gladly point out the areas you should check if you want.

I probably studied them sufficiently long to conclude that there is no conclusive/decisive link between genetics and sexual orientation. The studies that were made so far in that particular direction (and there weren't many) were marred by experimenter's bias, and even those trying to prove that the main factor is genetic didn't manage to positively prove that link in spite of heavy bias. If a link between genetics and non-heterosexual preference exists, it's most likely not the main factor in deciding the sexual orientation of a person.

Never stop trolling
Oh but on a different note, should have mentioned this before.
The reason I dont obsess over sexuality is well on my long term life goals it isnt even a priority, every now and then someone is born who focuses on ambition / asperations rather than relationships and wanting to reproduce like bacteria.
Sex I can have without all the branding but without all the generic drama.
So I usually lol at people who actually prioritise their life over stuff like this anyway but thats a different story anyway. This is so not my main

P.S. Try reading "All You Zombies" or even "Time Enough for Love" by Robert Heinlein, or maybe "The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold for a few good laughs.

You forget about the excessive quantity in the closet, on the down low, etc. As for why I generally get ****ed off, its because America is not particularly nice to gay people, yeah, San Francisco is nice, Chicago is nice, most major cities are pretty much fine with gay people. Then there's the rest of the country, and people like that **** Palin, and the teabaggers, and the neo-cons, and it just ****es me off. My friend got jumped as he was walking home by fifteen people saying they were going to kill him because he was gay, luckily there was a police car not less than a block away. This was in Chicago, mind you, one of the most gay-friendly cities in America...
And I really don't see what the issue is with letting others know you're gay. A while back there was a post where a South African wanted to know if there were any other South Africans in the game. Suppose he should have been told that it doesn't matter and he's just calling unneeded attention to himself too...

This. And uh, what neighborhood and when?? I live in Chicago, my partner lives downtown (east loop) and I live on the southside (it's close to work, I'm never there the neighborhood is down right sketchy and I'm shacking up with him anyway, who wouldn't want to live in the loop downtown?!? LOL).
RE: WHAI R DEY SAYING DEY R TEH GHEY IN A GAME?! ~ stuff:
Humans seek out others like them, in all things - even make believe worlds like this one. As I've said before, we gays/*****s/whatev have the benefit of being a part of a gaming community (this one) that generally accepts us and / or doesn't give a crap who we are IRL. Still, it's nice to keep in contact with others who share similar life experiences. Nobody balked at the thread a few months back for Eve Pilots who are Dads or something like that. Female pilots associate with each other, etc etc. And there's nothing wrong with that. My personally feeling is that we should disperse among the rest of you, and not close ourselves off. Otherwise, the moonbat members of the other team will never get over how "icky" we seem.

I think its because Gender is more of an issue for people in general, people have very strong opinions/dislikes about that..
(Judging from some posts earlier it seems if your Gender doesnt correlate with your Sex, you are automatically a birth defect, maybe they are right (Im not a scientist or anyone with facts) but it does sound condescending to me when I hear it)
Anyway, I hope you have found some peace of mind, dear OP

Originally by: Zedic uh, what neighborhood and when??
I live in Bernal Heights. L-Word ground zero.
My housemate is gay and has, in the past, filled my house to the rafters with girls watching the L-Word and packed my bathroom with boys putting on makeup.
I suppose there are closeted people here, but it would be kind of silly. Straights and gays alike celebrate gay culture in San Francisco. Friends, coworkers and strangers on the street are generally out and matter-of-fact about their orientation. Being in the closet here would be like a carnivore going to a steak restaurant to falsely declare himself a vegetarian.
But even here it's tough to call the gay population higher than about 15%.
3% to 5% nationally I'd believe. Which, incidentally, isn't small. The Jewish population in the US is about 2% if I remember correctly. The African American population is about 11%.

If you aren't - sweet, you won't get why we advertise it, we aren't doing it for you, it's not for you, move along nothing to see here, don't concern yourself with **** that doesn't apply to you.

Quote: What I'm saying is, why do you feel the need to advertise it?
As soon as I say I'm logging out because my wife and I are going out for Chinese food, I've "advertised" it. Suddenly I've got my gay marriage mixed up in their internet spaceships by doing nothing more than explaining why I couldn't stay longer on an op.
It is nice to know who else is out there, if for nothing else than to know which corps are definitely cool with gay people or more importantly which aren't or to have a chat with people who aren't spouting anti-glbt terms every third word.

You know I can can see the point of a corporation or alliance promoting itself as LGBT or LGBT friendly I really can. The common baseline culture of gamers in some corps and orgs in Eve is pretty childish beavis and butthead style meme-posting trash and I think useful for people to be able to make an informed choice about the kind of community they want to be part of when they decide to join a corp.
Take SF for example, we've been around as an alliance for 5 years now, and JF as a corp for a couple of years before that. We've got players who have become good friends out of game, and its evolved into a community that goes beyond Eve Online and becomes a decent social venue for people involved. I think its important for people of a particular life-style or focus to know that they are good to commit their time and effort and trust in our organization because the leadership is LGBT friendly and the atmosphere of the alliance is open-minded, laid back and pretty respectful of the human interactions in general.
I think it would be terrible betrayal for a player that had committed to us long term to log onto vent one evening and have to listen to a hours worth of ***-bashing from some prejudiced teenager and have to either close their ears and put up with the abuse or have to leave the alliance over it.
Hence, it makes sense to me that corps and orgs can define themselves by the atmosphere they promote and whether they are open-minded and mature environments for fostering community or (on the other extreme) clannish memefests with l33t kiddies slagging off anybody who isn't them from the comfort of their parent's basement.
Of course Eve is big enough for all kinds of corp and organization and we can express our disatisfaction for other ideologies easy enough through the medium of wardecs, mercs, missiles and laser beams so it all works out well in the end.
But ultimately LGBT is a lifestyle choice, a political choice, personal choice and like all choices its a good idea to know if you will be able to get on the people you expect to spend time with. From my perspective I enjoy spending gaming time and cooperative playing with the LGBT people in my alliance because quite aside from their lifestyle preferences they tend to be laid back, open-minded and decent people who I can handle chatting to on vent through the course of combat ops and POS sieges :)
Takes all sorts, but its never a bad idea to be informed about who is or is not tolerant enough to mix with other lifestyles.

Imagine if we had a Atheist awareness day or events to remember the inquisition / crusade days and how the dark ages screwed everything up people would be pretty confused.
I think we have gotten past the 'Gays are evil' days, at one point women, left handed, gingers etc people were ridiculed but theres no groups / events for them
People abuse the prejudice / discrimination card ALL THE TIME and its really screwed up, I know 'gay' is used as a general word for describing anything whether good / bad, like getting a reply on a thread called gay or a setup in game being gay. I dont find this an offense or even remotely bad however theres a reason why certain words are used.
Take the N word and 'gay', trolls WILL use these words, (check 4chan / youtube for example), imagine if a person said "oh all left handed people are unnatural and its a disease", people would be like 'k' at best but the second gay people or a race gets insulted theres a threadnought of flames and tears.
My point is stop all the singling out crap, these awareness things and branding / titling crap yes there was a time when things were bad but times have changed (at least for Europe) doing it now is no different to having 'Ginger awareness day' -.-
As for LGBT in eve :facepalm:, if someone treats you bad in game because you are gay (chances are they are trolling), petition them (chat logs will confirm it) but dont make a group, I sincerely hope this is more of a chilled out channel for EVERYONE and topics are not limited and closed to sexuality otherwise I would like to join a Atheist channel, see what I mean? This is so not my main

One one hand I understand people being uncomfortable with LGBT members being out and proud...but isnt a little hypocritical when I have to see so much (unflattering in many cases aswell!) blatant heterosexuality around aswell? Couples kissing , billboards, movies,internet and fora filled with topics where people prowess their love for the other sex or have something to complain about..
I guess it doesnt work the other way around, and like Zedic says...if you don't experience it -whether its being LGBT, Muslim, Having Ovary cancer or being a single mother/dad who lost their partner - you should be cautious with what you say

Well, for those that asked about Latinamerica ... well.
Not very friendly, depending on where you live.
Most Latinamerica still holds dear Roman Catholic Apostolic creeds and beliefs, so being openly gay is a matter of scorn by certain elements of society, on other places it's just "meh, whatever, just keep quiet about it"
Even though there's obviously gay people on the street in latinamerica, most males will gather together and tease them, bully them or the most civilized ones will make crude gay jokes.
On Venezuela, there was this famous comic humor show where one of the leading and most popular actors was an overly gross gay man, and most latin american heterosexual men might act "gay" amongst themselves as a sort of inner joke, but in essence I have always seen gay men here are portrayed as objects of jokes and pranks, not to be taken seriously and dismissed as such, so in that part I think we are still a bit backwards, comparable to some attitudes in certain regions of the USA of prejudice and bigotry.
But Gay men aside, I noticed a late trend, right before leaving Venezuela of certain male sectors having very discreet sexual encounters, queries and mix ups with Transexuals/*******s, specially from Brazil and Colombia.
Something worth of study, even in Panama, I have seen the demand for transexuals rise, something you can clearly see from the number of them showing up offering their services daily.
I have always been a curious mind regarding sexuality, transexuals in particular, regarding roles, specially due to my College grad Thesis being based on Sandra Bem's theory of Psychological Androgyny
Interesting field of study.
If you are interested we basically managed to normalize for Venezuela Sandra Bem's Inventory and applied it to our college pop to check for its existence and theorized about the possible use of Psychological Androgyny as a Tool for problem solving, the data showing that it goes beyond gender and focuses more on roles.
Transexuals, due to their own inner psychology and sexuality are an ideal camp to test this even further. Sadly I had to flee my country and studies
Just to add up to this thread, dont forget transexuals ---

I'd say taylor St. to North-side (Evanston)and as far west as the Kennedy, is gay friendly. The south side and beyond is another story. Its like gentrification stopped at UIC.
Btw. I used to live near Roscoe's and Sidetrack while i was at college. Market days was fun, but the entire scene is a little cliche. I haven't been back in that neighborhood for years. Last time was when my friend took me shopping with him at the sex shops.

Good Lord... Stony Island? No wonder - glad he's alive. I live on the Southside, 3 blocks from midway (and will be moving the **** out of this wretched backwater as soon as I can anyway) and yea, the BF and I would *never* display any hint of what we are down here. As such, I spent most nights with him now in the east loop. Was funny the other night ~ some extras for a new TV show being filmed downtown Chicago called, "Matador" I think saw us walking and holding hands. They were very nice people, ran over to us and asked if we were from out of town, we said no why and they said it was because we were holding hands LOL. He's 6'4 240 and I'm 6'3 220, he was a rugby player and I was Naval security forces sooo we feel pretty safe unless we're talking a gun or a crowd of 15 people... We don't needlessly provoke people, not into that anyway.

Good for you guys
Though unfortunately there are those who would argue that holding hands is "needlessly provoking" because "they don't want to see it. If this becomes the case... be sure to scream "EQUAL RIGHTS OR LESS TAXES FOR GAYS!"

Beatnik's is right on Halsted, a bit north of Belmont, like right in Boystown...

My BF goes into the Gym two doors down from that place and rides the bike for 6 hours doing his endurance training for the Aids Ride in July and I hang around the neighborhood drinking coffee and eating anything that doesn't run away. I'm no athlete, but I'm an athletic supporter...

Yes, you do, your being here proves that. I know and respect several gay individuals and none of them would ever even consider setting foot in a thread such as this. For that reason they're not referred to as "that gay guy" by peers, while you are.
Try looking for people who share your sense of humor, your passion for renaissance art, love for baseball or taste in music, rather than something arbitrary and unimportant like sexual orientation or race.

Rotopod has hit the nail on the head. The homosexuals that like to parade around their orientation are the same level of filth as trolls on these forums. They want attention, nothing more. There is nothing in EVE that requires you to divulge that sort of information.

Looks like page 5 is in need of some more positive LGBTQ vibes.
(Of course sexual orientation is neither "arbitrary" nor unimportant - although it is perhaps nice to imagine that it is, so normative sexuality can coast along while we *****s publicly share "passion for renaissance art" instead of gay sex.)
Anyway, one more practitioner of gay sex here!

You're an idiot. Here's why:
"Gay Pride", public declarations, parades, hand holding in public and *gasp* kissing in public are all displays and examples of having "pride" in what you are. Gay Pride is the point you reach in your life where you've not only accepted what you are, but are ok with it, and I dare say happy with it. It's the point in your life where you've successfully avoided putting a gun in your mouth - many of us never make it this far. Yes, where there are gay prides they'll be dudes kissing dudes and some dumb ass will be running around in ass-less chaps or wearing a feather boa or both (yes I've seen it, yes I wanted to shake him until he suffered shaken gay syndrome).
"Straight Pride" is a misnomer. Why? Because you are exactly what society expected you to be. You don't kill yourself or try killing yourself because your straight. Angry bands of *****s don't roam the countryside looking to beat the **** out of you because you **** girls. Religion hasn't taught you since you were a toddler that you're sick, evil and going to hell for loving the person that you love.
Gay Pride is the point in your life where you've gotten past all that bull****, all of that negativity and all of that hate both external and internal - and haven't realized that you're ok[i]. Many of us never reach this point. Those that don't grow up and marry women, ruin marriages, bring home diseases, confuse and hurt children, or become politicians and constantly vote in favor of legislation that attacks and harms their own kind. Others kill themselves, or turn to a life of drugs and alcohol or both and rarely if ever recover from it.
Stop pounding away at your keyboard with your elbows and watch this. Then watch the whole "That's Gay" playlist
Now if you're excuse me, I'm off to fondle my new iPad.

I think you're confusing me with someone else.
All the nasty things you talked about are things I'd like to see the world rid of, no matter who the target/victim is.
I have plenty of gay friends and am fine with it.
Celebrate in whatever manner you wish, quietly or loudly. But don't claim special rights just because some people are d*ckheads. A lot of gay community advocates act out the very sort of thing they yell about, and indiscriminately assume & assert everyone who isn't with them is against them. The religion/church thing is a good example as just because some folks are disgusting hate-filled "gay bashers", it doesn't mean there aren't some churchies that actually practice what they preach and show compassion / accept/love everyone as equally as they can.
I still really want a heterosexual pride parade. If you're asserting that there's some deeper meaning to your parades besides celebrating and enjoying yourself and fellows for what you are and living someplace where you have the freedom to do so, then I think you're taking something out of it that isn't there, or want everything to have more significance than it does. We're all people living together and we're as "equal" as we want to be. Someone being ridiculous and racist/hateful/whatever doesn't change this... it just means there's a group of dumb folk around.

I think Zedic overreacted a bit, but you don't seem to understand the concept of what a Gay Pride parade was/should still be but isn't quite today. The first gay pride parade was shortly after gay people stopped getting arrested and being forced to receive electroshock therapy to cure them of their affliction.
In other words, the first gay pride parades were a celebration of the fact that you were gay, because it meant only a few years prior that you'd be locked up for it. Sort a celebration about Civil Rights progressing. They have certainly devolved into displays of debauchery recently, and are mostly just giant parties, but I digress.
Also, I don't think I've ever heard of a Gay person asking for rights that other people don't have. Gay marriage is simple, without getting married, the next of kin is a persons parents, followed by their siblings, followed by their children. Anti-discrimination is a right we should all have. It is very, very rare for a gay person to ask for something straights don't have. And those that do ask for them, get frowned upon.
If you're talking about bath-houses and gay bookstores, well, gay people just have more open sex than most straight guys do. Not our fault, not our problem

Honestly I was just trying to crack-wise and it snowballed on me.
I don't understand the self-imposed segregation though, or need to hang out/seek out others of the same persuasion (IE this thread), unless it's for the purposes of dating or something. Unless there's an overwhelming desire to avoid straight people for them. I certainly don't seek out "straight-only" friends. I just poke fun at the political and non-sexual interactions in pursuit of better understanding and was under the impression that people (like the one angry post) just got psyched up because they wanted a "cause" or needed something to be militant about.
All the angry anti-gay people are a difficult bunch to understand too for similar reasons, but at least most of that can be written off as "they be dumb" where as the rest of you are still a bit of a mystery.
Oh, and I still want my parade. Why did asking for one cause such a riot? Are straight people not allowed to have parades? I hate being a minority.

Well Zedic stated it quite well earlier, if you're not gay, then you surely wouldn't understand.
The most direct way I can express it, is that gay people enjoy knowing they're not alone. We're not segregating ourselves, but sometimes we enjoy discussing about something with each other, that only gay men or *** hags would know about. I mean, even if you know what the Belmont area of Chicago is like, I doubt you've had much experience with it if you're not a gay male (I'm just using this as an example).
Its just a desire to seek out others that share something in common with ourselves, like a desire to seek out people from your fellow country/state/city, or people who share your major in college, or go to the same school. We're not going to only have gay friends, but we'd like to know other gay people.

It's also probably worth pointing out (as a polite reminder) just how deep and extreme discrimination and hatred toward gays has been historically - and how deep and extreme it continues to be for many people in many different contexts and places.
Unless you spend a lot of time getting to know what it's like from the other side, you pretty much have no idea. Enter the "self-imposed segregation". Same goes with race, gender, class, etc.... everything that has been and continues to be a reason to royally **** people over. These things are a big deal, and if you don't think so, well, you really just lack education.
Gay pride parades are, at least for many people, a celebration, or at least an acknowledgment, of the reclamation of basic human dignity. Not really necessary for heterosexuals as heterosexuals, is it?

No, they aren't. History has proven time and time again that most of them want to **** the same sex yet are scared to/try to do secretly(But usually end up messing up and failing horribly, causing everyone and their mother to be on them like white on rice) . The others just don't like people who are different then them. However I was quite surprised to see this thread back on the front page. Anyway. /goes back to watching Emeril Yeah I am a pirate.

Sweet, lets start with putting this straight pride **** to bed.
Quote: I have plenty of gay friends and am fine with it.
Really? Do they know you want a straight pride parade, and that you think we're demanding "special" rights i.e. rights that you don't have as a "minority" straight dude? I never get tired of that retort. "I have friends that are ______! I couldn't possibly be talking out of my ass!
Please show where I, or any other homo here or anywhere else on the planet has asked for "special rights" above and beyond the rights you currently have that isn't a moonbat anyway.

I am, and it does have a deeper meaning, or at least it used to. Do us a favor. Stop embarrassing yourself and read up on the history of the Stonewall Riots. That's why we took to the streets. Not to flail around in assless chaps, I'll give you that.

Just a quick question, if I may.. What are your thoughts on this day?
There are parts of the world that celebrate something that is more or less referred to as "Man's day". The significance of it may be different in terms of history behind it, etc though, and I think in North America it coincides with Father's day. Germany is one of the places that celebrate it (maybe germans could speak up and tell me if i'm wrong about it all... i'm more or less just repeating what I was told) and I think (my read of it anyway) was that it was almost like an extension/extrapolation from father's day as a way of celebrating/appreciating men for whatever reason. Most men had days of work and stuff. (IE - lady cab drivers and stuff were easier to get than man ones, lots of people enjoying a day off)

Not at all - you're the guy calling for a "straight pride" parade, and you didn't read a thing I said.

Sweet, lets start with putting this straight pride **** to bed.
Quote: I have plenty of gay friends and am fine with it.
Really? Do they know you want a straight pride parade, and that you think we're demanding "special" rights i.e. rights that you don't have as a "minority" straight dude? I never get tired of that retort. "I have friends that are ______! I couldn't possibly be talking out of my ass!
Please show where I, or any other homo here or anywhere else on the planet has asked for "special rights" above and beyond the rights you currently have that isn't a moonbat anyway. Also, studies show that gay moonbats occur in the wild far, far less often than heterosexual ones. I blame genetics for that.

You seem very angry, and frankly, you do have a few things to be upset about, although not with me.
Do I need a special "gay tolerance badge", achievable only via an extensive certification course proving my fair and equal treatment of persons of different persuasions?
I both work and hang out with homosexual people and have some close friends amidst them. Most of them don't care that I think we should have a heterosexual pride parade, the people that care about "pride" events just enjoy them for what they are - a big party. It's a celebration. It's not a dark, solemn remembrance day type event where you reflect on all the BS you went through as a people or something. But maybe it is for some people (?). For anybody I've ever talked to, it's just a big bash. Maybe that's what I want, and to celebrate love/lust/whatever between men and women and those able to make it work in this screwed up society where most of them end up divorced. (Not really though.. I just think it's a fun(ny) idea
"Special rights" and whatever... I'm not talking about marriage or anything like that, I really don't care and I think people holding out against it have better things to worry about putting a stop to (IE - things that actually affect them in harmful ways). But there are those of you out there that want to be treated differently, and call discrimination on anything and everything short of being waited on hand and foot.

Clever troll. CCP can't really lock this thread because of "civil right" and all that bull**** but my opinion is htfu. I don't go up to ppl and say I'm straight and I don't start a "straight pride" parade. You people need to chill and stop acting like victims.
It's cool to be who you are but don't rub it in ppl's faces, thats why alot of people don't like you, because you shove your ideas at us and when we tell you to leave us alone or to be quiet you scream injustice. You want to be "different", thats cool, but keep it to urself ffs.

I think what ****ed Zedic off, and what ****ed me off, is realy the wording you used. If you say that you just want a giant party for straight - people, like what the gay pride parades have evolved into, then we'd be a little bit less ****ed.
You sort of ignited it by making a joke involving not feeling like you have equality without one. That's irritating, because it feels like you're belittling what the parades once stood for. Essentially, a silly joke ended up cascading into a full blown argument, and you got Zedic all wound up, and he just tends to blow a whole lot of hot air into any argument... (Yes, I support what you're saying Zedic, but you can be a little mean to people....)

I don't demand that anyone accepts my lifestyle Trader. I do demand freedom from oppression, persecution, and hate. That is all. And it's nice to know there are others, not only like me, but still others who are not and don't have any issues with it.

I feel more like omnivore. If someone ask me if gay man or straight man.. I would have to say that I was never the lesbian. Mostly straight teenager, mostly gay in 20's, but sometimes both at same time. From then on.. I would have to break this down by month and year.

off topic: I wonder how much it pays to play nanny thread locker for CCP?
On topic: Goodness me, I thought this was a community for people who enjoy a PVP game as in, people who's skin is thicker than most. Mea Culpa. In truth, I like to debate topics that I've spent time forming my opinion about, and in the case of this evolved thread discussion it involves my real life. For the record; I am neither angry, upset nor am I "mad".
Also: thread conversations evolve, especially if they're worth anything past the second page.
And also: /mini thread bump. It's not my fault I don't have a 9 to 5 monday - friday job where I can check the boards all day. I am a Sky Waiter, and presently our fleet lacks full wifi capability, else I would be squabbling with you *****es from 41,000ft.

I like stereotypes because 95% (probably higher) of the time stereotypes are true and accurate, seriously I dont know why people get offended by stereotypes as it stands now I am yet to find someone of a given population that doesnt fall in the stereotypical life / lifestyle.
In other words STEREOTYPES ARE THERE FOR A REASON!!
Look at some of the stereotypes out there, from race to religion to sexuality to class, its there for a reason, it isnt a bad / good thing it just is there. Unfortunately the main reasons why development out of stereotypes is hard is because of how things are in reality, in the end you either become a stereotype or Einstein if you know what I mean ;)

No wonder Pam Ann makes fun of them. :) And yes, my job is somewhat stereotypical. I'm not a nancy I promise :) Ladyboys don't play video games, especially mmo's and especially pvp mmo's. Hmm, that was a stereotype too wasn't it?

Indeed they are, and hey, I'm 18... Also, since you're so sure of my preference, I'll have you know it depends on who I'm with. If I were with my twink asian friend, it'd be his legs in the air, if it were the sexy swimmer I know, well, I'd bottom for that...
