Homosexuals letting everyone know...

I know tolerance is a good thing, a good word but....
I look forward to a day when there is no need for tolerance.
We don't have to be tolerant because we don't look at each other as different anymore.
We don't judge, we don't see anything but another human being.
We don't care about the classifications
race, nationality, religion, gender, sexual preference or social position.
We just see another human being whom we love unconditionally and embrace as a friend,
just as they are.0 -

I have to say, that this is one of the best posts I have ever read.

Only have 'otherwise' shoved and flaunted in my face?
I have no choice but to tell my 8 year old about homosexuality because he wants to know what that shit on my TV was or what that song was about, or why his teacher lives with the principle.
I get the fact your looking for recognition, but I'm one of those who can't wait for you to go away, your spoiling my Porno's.let the flames begin.....
I've never had a problem with gay porn spoiling my regular porn. It is 100% not an issue for me. (cause it never shows up).
One of my best friends growing up however always had a problem with the gay porn on his computer. He was anti-gay and spouted a lot of anti gay slurs.
The "gay porn" problem only got worse for him.
That was until the day he came out of the closet and became a much happier, healthy person who was finally comfortable in his own skin.
Sound familiar?0 -

I was with one of the newlyweds this weekend, looking at wedding photos. It came to the one where the couple was pronounced, and showed the two of them hugging, with a beaming minister in the background.
"Oh, they didn't catch your first kiss?" I said. "I probably have it on the video." (I'd shot the entire ceremony for them.)
My friend paused then said, "We didn't have a first kiss. We were afraid it would make some of the people in the audience feel uncomfortable. So we decided to hug instead."
That broke my heart a little... imagine, standing at the altar and worrying that your demonstration of love and commitment might not be appreciated by someone you'd invited...
Reading this broke my heart.. they missed out on maybe one of the most important, loving moments they will have, all because they were worried about the intolerance, or discomfort of some of their guests. Sad. I hope they live a wonderful life together and are forever comfortable in their own skin. As it seems they are0 -

When was the last Hetrosexual parade you ever saw?
You know, the parrade we all go to wearing our jocks and Bras and not give a shit about the way we look?
I have 4 male children and I'm doing my utmost to ensure they grow up Hetrosexual........
WHY?
Because I see sexuality the way I see it.
There is nothing natural about a penis up an Arse. That goes for both Men and Women of any age.
My view is that sex between anyone has been devalued.0 -
I hope we get to the point that we move beyond tolerance and get to a point of acceptance....recognizing that people are different in all different ways and celebrating that.

And frankly for someone who has an opinion that "non-normal" sex needs to be kept away from our children, your choice of a woman who unknowingly is using sperm after masturbation as a hair gel as your avatar is kind of odd and racy.Post edited by Black Diamond on0 -

Doin your best to ensure they grow up Hetero, huh? Good luck with that. You do realize you don't just turn gay one day, right? Guess if you do think that, it might explain your fear of the parades.0 -
Its a funny thing what we are dealt with in this world to learn from...if lucky enough.
'that what you fear the most'
I was prejudiced against pit bulls until God brought me the most loving and wonderful dog named Faith.
I might have been prejudiced against black people if I had not met the most engaging kind soul 35 years ago that kept me from that.
Jo, I think you are a great person, I love your humor, I love that fact you are a great Mom.
I understand the devaluing post, that the love part of sexual encounters has been lost for some,
but it has not for all.
Perhaps if you are lucky enough though, one of your fine young men may be gay
and will open your heart to a love that exists between same sex people.
Not unlike, in any way, the love we share as heterosexuals.
The key is love
which is all a parent wants for their child, a life filled with love and happiness and respect.0 -

lucky enough? are you saying that the holy grail of parenting now is to be 'lucky enough' to have one of your kids turn out gay?
won't be 'lucky enough' to have their own kids though huh? perhaps Jo would like to have grandkids at some point and perhaps if she were 'lucky enough' to have ALL of her sons turn out to be gay she might not have those grandkids... that'd be lucky... save a fortune on Christmas presents right enough.oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.0 -

Plenty of my gay friends have kids. And from what I hear the grandparents are thrilled. :roll:0 -

If you ensure they grow up hetro, it will just be more difficult for the one who is actually gay. He will feel compelled to stay in the closet because he will be Petrified to come out!0 -

Jo, you do make one good point. Those parades are not good for the gay community as they are now constructed.

This made me think of the polar opposite which was a news story in the UK today when a TV presenter was asked what he would do if one of his children bought home a same sex partner (and yes it does say something that this should still be news)
His response:
"My eldest daughter is gay, so that's a question which I've dealt with on a regular basis already, which is, providing it's a nice woman, I'm thrilled. I've got no problems at all, obviously."
"Certainly, their sexuality is a, really none of my business and b; certainly none of my concern. I just want them to be good, happy, stable people and so far, all three of them seem to be that."

Neither was I.
At least not exclusively. Some friends have biological children and some adopt. The grandparents of each love them equally as much.
EDIT: And the Xmas presents are abundant.0
