Why do gay people think they can say whatever they want?

You were at a pub right? You should have asked him if you could push in his stool.

That's true of any people who are members of a marginalised group: black people, Asian, disabled, gay...

I do not agree with this

stu gee

I agree with what harmless little f**k said to a certain extent. I think undoubtedly some people from marginalised groups can, and do play the card of blaming people's resentment of them on their belonging to a certain group ie, gay, black etc, when in a lot of cases the resentment is just as a result of them simply being arseholes.

but also they may GET a lot of shit as a result of being in a marginalised group so to a certain extent it's easy to justify GIVING some shit in return and failing to see that you're just doing the same thing that hurts you so much :(

Well then maybe this addresses the issue of the thread title? We should just put up with shit from gays as they get it so hard in the first place. Perhaps i should rephrase...

hmm... perhaps, but then you're also participating in a vicious circle

Could also the reason people take less offense is because people take them less seriously? And perhaps think 'ah he's just looking for attention but he obviously doesn't think I'm really fat'

And it not be offensive? I was in the pub Saturday night and we were chatting to a gay couple (she kinda knows one of them) and my friend went to the toilet, came back and sat down and one of them said 'no honey, YOU look better standing up' :eek:

If he said it to me I would have thought it was open season to say whatever I want but she took it well and laughed and that was the end of it. But I've seen it so much with gay friends. They really CAN get away with saying absolutely anything and people just laugh... but actually listen too I don't get it.

what's the problem helen? lord knows i look better standing up than sitting down. now....when it comes to lying down...that my dear is a whole other kettle of fish.

well she did reply that lying down is her best Nah, it was just that he singled her out of the three of us. Would you not be a bit 'what the fuck?' :eek: ?

how does one relate to the other? i'm just aware that whatever is going on in my head or my life is undoubtedly far more interesting than whatever the assholes around me are doing at any given moment. thus, i don't notice people trying to suck in guts or whatever cos i'm probly not looking at them to begin with.

well I'm not trying to make a thread out of that ONE thing... just in general gay men can tend to say much bitchier things than everyone else and people just laugh it off. I'm just wondering why that is.

in general guys are stupid.

gay or straight... it makes no difference. do you think cause they can accessorise their thought processes when it comes to chicks is somehow superior?

I dunno, I have to give most straight men I know a wee bit of credit... most of them would know better than to say something like that to a girl in their company :eek:

most straight guys are so cuckolded they wouldn't dare say anything for fear of being frozen out.

Hmm... actually yeh, I suppose gay men have no reason to be afraid of women. Straight men would be more inclined to be polite cos at some stage, if they don't want to shag you, they're going to want to shag your friend gay men know they're never gonna be in that situation.
