Hey, I only used it 3 times, and 2 of them were at regular times. "Something like that", and "Like when." The other was just me being a valley girl.

God, there's some pretty ignorant people here... Especially the "oimigod that's wrong" but what's with the comments like "Oh I don't mind gay people that's cool as long as they don't bring it near me."
WTF?
So, it's ok if they're gay, as long as they shove it in a little closet and make sure all the doors are closed and you're not around for them to talk about it or act on it! COME ON!
Seriously, I've been hit on by women before, it's not difficult, you just go "Oh, yeah, I'm not intrested." And that's it. WHY IS IT SO HARD?
Imagine for a second guys, you like this girl in school. But imagine there was only a 5% she was into guys, same for all the other girls. How are you supposed to know who's straight? Who do you do? Say? How do you meet people?
Just becuase a gay guy hits on you, it doesn't mean you're wearing red ribbons in your hair and you don't have to sit there and try to defend your manhood by going "Hey I ain't no fag I'm gonna woop your ass." That doesn't make you a man, just a homophobic prick. "Yeah, I'm not intrested, thanks." That's all you've got to say! Where do you expect gay guys to meet people? It's not like gay people wear name tags.

Umm, Adrian hon. Let it slide.
Most of the people are only talking about those situations when they get hit on by gays. They're just saying, they just don't like it when they get hit on.
I'm a big fan of tolerance, but tolerance doesn't mean you have to like something. Sure, you have to tolerate it, like I have to tolerate Richard Simmon's afro, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. If I had to like it because it wasn't what everyone now believed, it would be close to communism. I'm allowed to have my view and believe that Richard Simmon's should shave that fro.
If someone, like Kramer for example, dislikes gays but tolerates them, then he is not doing wrong. He believes and like other people believe that being gay is wrong, that is there opinion and he and everyone else has that right to it. But in this society, it must tolerate it. As long as the person doesn't discriminates, threatens, or harms someone because they are gay, then let them keep there opinion and don't call someone a homophopic prick.

Yup, they can have their opinions.
But they're the opinions of a homophobic prick and that's what I'll call them.
I can also hold the opinion that they're such.
Freedom doesn't just go one way.

Okay goddamit, this has been a bad week, and lucky fucking you, you won the doorprize as the Idontknowhowmanyth person to piss me off.
Before you fucking go off on a crusade to save the gays or whatever the fuck you think your mission in life is, take the time and think about what people mean when they post. It's been proven over and over that when typing, people often confuse meanings. For the most part, no one meant that gay people should stay in the closet when they are around. And even if they did, thats their own damn right. I personally do not give a flying fuck on a rope about people being gay, lesbian, in the closet or even up a tree, your own life is just that. Your own, meaning no one elses, meaning no one has to care, and vice versa. If you dont like how people think, tough shit because it will take a lot more than a poorly done sig of two men kissing on a predominantly male forum to change our minds and confess to the error of our ways (not that we made one in the first place). The harsh reality of this world is that no one is as tolerant as you wish you were, and things may never change. And going off and pissing people off just further damages your credibility. I honestly can say that I do not take you seriously anymore after being so goddamn childish about your sig. Yeah everyone else was too, but a few of us made a decent complaint and asked you removed it. I really get sick of people doing shit for the sake of forcing beliefs on others, and then saying "oh well I have a right." How the hell can you talk about equal rights in a community(GG) with a ratio around 80:1, males vs females? And honestly, how many people really support you here? And dont think for a moment you are fighting for some noble cause since you may be alone, if anything you are further slowing the equal rights movement.
[yeah I know I will regret this in the morning but its been a bad fucking week and I need to vent, nothing personal, adrian, even if I said otherwise.]

If by "Homophobic Prick" you mean "I'm going to result to linguistic violence because I have no substance to support my argument," then I concur.

Damnit, what I mean is, if you don't want people to call someone else a fag, then don't call someone a homophobic pric.

Ah yes, personally I agree with Alex. Although I would've said it in less harsh words... then again, he's on a rant so it's quite reasonable and expected xD. I myself am a strong supporter of tolerance and equality... but still, just because I support the fact that people should be equal, I still feel weird around a person who I know is lesbian. It's just an instinct, and I'm sure I'll get used to it since the person will most probably be a nice person and all, but you can't help the fact that you feel awkward at first. It's perfectly natural. People who don't feel comfortable around another aren't ignorant. They just carry these feelings that can be changed eventually, but -you've- gotta show tolerance for those that don't feel the same way as you do.
