I'M throwing my sexuality in YOUR face???

[figjam]

That's the argument a lot of closet cases (especially black gays), the far right and religious community throws around like rice at a wedding

Again I wonder.. are you right in the head? Sorry, but I have to ask since this is quite one of the strangest statements I have read on many a forum.

Your failure to comprehend a simple statement doesn't imply that I'm not right in the head. Other than my improper conjugation of "throw" the text speaks for itself.

Read it out loud a few times, sound out each letter if you have to.

Or, you could ask me to elaborate. This time I'll be as succint and concise as possible.

I don't have any problem understanding the statement.

I've seen gays (including myself, on rare occasions) of "being all in-your-face about your gayness" when we kiss in public, hug in public, hold hands in public...even mention it in public. However, straight people are never taken to task for it. Even if they're dryhumping on the post office counter.

Or is it the "thrown around like rice at a wedding" part throwing you?

Back on topic, most straight guys I know don't ever realize or recognize it. A bunch of lacrosse fans were debating the relative merits of the calendar they gave away...featuring only pictures of the (all-female) cheerleaders. My complaint - "I'd rather see the players. Even in business suits." They honestly didn't realize there were two demographics (and they aren't insignificant) that the calendar totally missed.

Sure - I am not trying to pick a fight. But you just made some wild statements regarding the religious and black type people of the world. I am still battling to understand what you were getting at? (Sorry - I am a bit slow...)

There is a strongly anti-gay sentiment among downlow gay black men. They engage in homosexual acts but don't consider themselves part of the gay community, they disassociate with openly gay men and especially feminine men.

Their argument is (among other things) that fems and open gays are "throwing their sexuality in people's faces." Religious people say that as well.

Throwing rice at weddings is a tradition symbolizing wishes for prosperity and fertility for the wedded couple.

"Throwing like rice" was a literal comparison. If you discuss homosexuality with a downlow black person or a religious person, they will constantly "throw around" the statement expressed in the title: "You're forcing your sexuality on the public."

Weird isn't it? There is a local roofing company that advertises by showing a beautiful woman in an evening gown lounging on a roof. It is so incongruent it is laughable. I'd rather see a hot, sweaty, muscled up roofer.

As far this thread though: I'M throwing my sexuality in YOUR face
I've been waiting for that for over a year.

I am still confused. What point did you try to make?

It's a hetero dominated society.

I understand it's a double standard but that's life.

Well, why don't you help us out. Since you self describe as bi, I'll assume that you're at least not repulsed by the idea of kissing a guy or kissing a gal. So, this weekend, grab one of each and head to your family friendly mall. Plunk yourself down in the food court and kiss the gal. We're not talking full on fucking, just kissing. Take note of the reactions you receive. Then, send the gal on home, and kiss the boy. What reactions did you receive and how did they differ btwn the situations? Report your findings back to JUB. Sounds like a school assignment doesn't it?

Anyway, I never notice PDA. I'm amazed that other people are able to pick up on that stuff. I'm usually too focused on where I'm going, what I'm doing, and what remains to be done, to notice that Adam and Eve, Adam and Steve, or Eve and Ava are kissing.

Personally, as far as television, movies, and marketing goes, I still think it's not a hetero issue, so much as a male dominated society issue.

Most folks would agree that Sex in the City is a chick show. Yet, there's much, much more female nudity than male nudity. I think there are four male asses that are shown throughout the entire collection; yet, there's not a single season where AT LEAST tits aren't shown--repeatedly. I'm hetero and I'm not getting off on that. Maybe it's made for lesbians.

This thread is just all a big load of rich, creamery butter.

Pent up, tortured and aching for release.

All of your posts are gems. Don't leave JUB for a looooong time.

Of course not. I'm white, I love diversity. JUB gives me the chance to bond w/ gay minorities. See, I'm super not prejudiced.

*get it?*

Discreet and overtly suggestive commercials; sexy fast food commercials, tv shows where the entire premise is a bunch of hot guys pursuing a bunch of hot girls. There's a local Pull-A-Part (a junkyard where you can buy used parts from lemons) that features a blonde bombshell slinking around the lot with narrations like "Need something hard and smooth? Kickin' and bumpin'? Looking for a nice set of headlights?"

Even shows geared towards teenagers are nothing more than soft-core porn. Sexy teens arguing, spending their parents money, and lusting after one another.

Even burger commercials aren't complete without simulating oral sex.





If you watch TV, pay close attention to the programming and even the commercials and you'll realize just how much heterosexuality is "crammed down our throats." Who do they think they are?

THANK YOU, thank you for making that point. I've been saying it for YEARS for anybody who cares to listen. There are people out there screaming about things like wardrobe malfunctions and the random S-word [Chrissakes, it's just a damned WORD!!], and yet I've almost NEVER heard or seen anybody talk about the commercials being almost an endless parade of soft-porn girls (often with more than hints of cleavage, etc.) and gorgeous manhunks. Yes, even in the fast food and beer commercials, two things which generally cause people to LOSE their physical beauty!

I find it so incongruous how, in this country of the U.S.A. (and we're obviously not alone), images are constantly thrown at us which are going to cause the hormones of teenage boys to surge and rage...and the people from the "right wing" often demand that kids NEVER be taught anything but abstinence...yet the commercials are never commented on by those same people. I just find it weird, that's all - that a split-second wardrobe malfunction caused more of an uproar than the entire history of all sexually-imaged commercials ever aired by TV in the history of the world.

A "malfunction" which, may I add, would have been barely noticed by anybody if they hadn't made such a fuss about it. I had that Super Bowl game on and I was watching the halftime, and it completely blew by me at the time. Maybe I blinked or something, LOL.
