There you go indeed. How are those questions different from yours?

I don't think any straight person was made to feel that they were a deviant because they happen to fancy the opposite sex so I don't see the need for 'straight pride'.

Lets take a straight person raised by anti gay parents. He/She could inherit their anti gay views. They may want to form their own view as they get older so they ask what they want to know. If all they get back from the gay community are answers like these, then how do the gay community ever expect to be free from oppression and persecution?

While I understand your point (you catch more flies with honey), why is the burden on us to prove we are worthy of equal treatment?

Shouldn't that just flow from our status as tax paying citizens?

Surely the burden should be on the group wishing to treat a minority group differently to show good reason, rather than saying you are not worthy of better until you can prove otherwise.

Anyway, if you didn't take it so personally, you'd see the glib answer actually shows the relative absurdity of the proposition that gay parents will only raise gay babies.

If you ever met me in real life I would answer your questions in a perfectly reasonable way. All my mates were on the homophobic side of things and had some pretty stupid notions about gay people to put it bluntly, but they know better now. I'm very rational on how I approach this because I know that preaching this stuff isn't going to work. Many gay people take that route and more often then not it's not as effective. That's why I do it my way and I've changed the views of far more people by doing it that way.

You got your answers it's you who's choosing not to listen so then it's somehow our fault that we won't be free from oppression and persecution? That doesn't make any sense.

I got one reply from someone that thought I was making a point. One sarcastic answer that made little sense. You answered my question in an earlier post but suggested I was being ridiculous. No need to be so defensive with the answers.

Shouldn't that just flow from our status as tax paying citizens? It should.

Surely the burden should be on the group wishing to treat a minority group differently to show good reason, rather than saying you are not worthy of better until you can prove otherwise. Totally agree.

So far, I have taken nothing personally. Not for long anyway!

and you know down the line when they say there are only women, because the men pretty much became them too but yet they could still use their services when required

if reluctantly; but then that's how this woman only dystopia can only come about, right - if it's gona sustain itself......

Always thought gay pride was a bit stupid, because there is no straight pride.

There comes a time when it should be dropped because in my eyes homosexuals are very accepted in modern Ireland.

Legislation needs to be changed a lot still, but marching won't do much for that.

The marching simply shows everyone you ARE different. Much like Morgan Freeman hates black history week.

Legs.Eleven · 08-05-2013 12:51PM

OP you're giving me a headache. Can you not look this stuff up and form your own opinions like the rest of us? I'm presuming you're not 5 years old anymore.

Should St Patrick's Day marches be stopped, too? After all, they are a celebration of who we are (and like Pride marches, they are very inclusive, even if you are not Irish or gay)?

I love asking questions! I am a mine field of information!

Can anyone explain what the big deal with same sex marriages is? Surely you can do whatever you want behind closed doors? Is sex regulated in some way for homosexuals?

Can you explain what it is for heterosexual couples?

Equality does not engender homogeny.

Different but equal; why is this treated as a perplexing oxymoron?

I would have had you down as more of a vacuum of information.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're not being serious (at least any more).

Its no big deal! It is well known that heterosexual couples try different positions etc.

i see homophobic incidents quite often in dublin. sometimes violent thugs, sometimes just pig ignorant gob****es with the verbals.

No, not all of them. Of course the odd few will.
