10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: mistyc

If you are gay, that's fine I don't hate you and I'm not scared of you.  However why would anyone gay or striaght want to put their sex life "out there" for the public  to see and hear about.  I am a straight married woman and I don't discuss my private life with anyone, and I don't want to discuss anyone else's private life either

  

it would be nice if people like you thought a bit but then you are the heterosexual privelaged free person so you dont need to think. its all laid out for you. if i was not in a hurry i would lay it all out for you like how churches and other groups attack gays all the time. individuals attack gays. they are obsessed with the subject of homosexuality. it is a taboo.if it werent a taboo people wouldnt talk about it. it needs to be so out there that it becomes accepted.we(gays)have everything straight life shoved in our faces all the time and everywhere. you dont see it because you are so used to having that privelage of being hetero. it makes me mad how ignorant so many people are. but then again i am happy that you voiced your opinion.also, gay people are no more and i think less likely to be pedophile.its a predominantly hetero thing.

Hello, 

  

As a gay man, I can say that I am not allowed through sociatal approval to : 

  

  1. Get publically married. (untill reciently and in only a few states can I have a public commitment cerimony)
  2. Talk about my partner as my spouce.
  3. Hold hands or for that matter, show any affection towards my partner in public without condemnation.

These are just a few things that straight people do in public, their actions, that speek for their sex life.

Did you ever have a wedding, perhaps a church wedding, any kind of PUBLIC wedding?  If the answer is YES, then you've gone public about your relationship. 

  

Do you let anyone know you have a husband?   If the answer is YES, then you've gone public about a significant other.. 

  

Do you have children, biological or otherwise?   Does anyone, anywhere know that you have children?  If YES, then you've indeed gone public about your sex life. 

  

If a same-sex couple answered YES to any of the above, they'd immediately be accused of flaunting their sexuality.

So why are you discussing this on the message board ?   

Gay people wouldn't feel the need to defend who they are if straight people (esp.right winged evangelists) didn't keep on telling them that their very existence is a mental defect, a genetic mistake or a sinful abomination! How would you feel being told that a very important part of who you are is that  wrong?   

I am straight but I am open minded and, more importantly, open hearted enough to understand the anger and frustration they feel

The fact that you are married is you putting your sex life out there. You tell everyone by wearing your wedding ring that you have sex with a man.

Do you hold your husband's hand in public? Kiss him? Hug him? Tell him you love him in front of other people?

Well...that is you putting your sex life "out there" isn't it.

It's what any gay person, including the people on this show want to do too.
