Thread: Bulbagarden Outreach: Sexuality Month

This thread is about Sexuality, not whether or not this month is needed. We will not be debating that. Drop it.

Has homosexuality become acceptable enough?

If you wish to discuss that tangent further, please go to this thread.

I am straight. But is support same-sex marraige.
if a "gay" Perrson wants to marry another "gay" person let them.

Also if the word gay is in quotes because i believe it is a duragatory term.

True but in my experience it is usualy used as a duragatory term.

I really like this idea. I really, really do. Because honestly, it makes me sick when someone is mad fun of/bullied for being something besides straight, or what people call "normal" wherever I go. At my school, kids are insulted and gossiped about for possibly being bisexual. And then they stay away from them. And seriously, that's sick. Just because someone is bisexual/lesbian/gay doesn't mean you have the right to insult them for their sexuality. It's natural. Can't stop someone from loving another.

I personally believed I was straight until about almost 2 years ago. Back then, I only went with insulting bisexuals/gays/lesbians because it was what everyone did, and if I defended them I'd be like some freak to them. But honestly, I really did not care about sexuality. Whatever you were, you were. Love is natural. It makes no sense to be illegal. Sure, women can't have babies with another woman, and men can't have babies at all. But that doesn't mean EVERY couple on the planet will be gay/lesbian. That is why I believe the laws and stuff around the world about gays/lesbians not being able to marry is complete bullshit.

So yeah. I, myself, am bisexual and I respect every 'sexuality' there is. Like I said, if that's what you are, no one can really hate you for it unless they're some asshole.

I personally feel that sexuality based discrimination, unless it specifically involves you, ought not to be present in day to day society. I'm going something along the line of that if something doesn't concern you, it is better not to get involved in it. It makes others feel uncomfortable, and a whole situation that can be rather embarrassing for some people could easily be avoided. Unless advances are specifically made towards you, there's no reason to discriminate as such. (Note: Even if advances are made towards you, I would still say that you ought to simply deal with them in a refined manner, rather then bring discrimination in).

I'm totally for gay marriage. If someone can come up with even ONE good reason why gay people shouldn't be able to marry, I'll immedietly switch over to their side. So far I've posed this challenge to every bigot I've ever met, and none of them have convinced me. Also, no-one ever will. There is no logical reason whatsoever for forbidding someone to marry someone of the same gender. Call me a romantic, but I beleive that love should come before everything else, money and religion included. I know there are people who feel very strongly that homosexuality is wrong, but I feel just as strongly they they're just morons. The fact that none of the bigots I've ever met have been able to defend their position with anything but highly flawed logic about how gay marriage would mean that no-one would be having babies, a quote from some holy book, or "Shut up (insert insult here)" makes me feel even more confident that there is absolutely no reason why gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry.
