What's the worst thing about being GAY?

[wonderwort]

Please be nice.......I dont want this thread locked. Please dont start fighting.

I've never had any problem with being gay, and I've been totally out for the past 35 years or so.

I guess I have been very fortunate that none of my family, friends, or co-workers has ever suffered from religion-derived hompophobic prejudice, and thus they have all appeared to be utterly unfazed by sexuality.

Please dont fight in this thread. I dont want it locked.

Um.....what? That apears to be a broad sweeping statement implying that all white guys are racist.

Please report to moderator if comment offends you.......but please dont start a slugfest here.

 

[EwanSF]

Um, no. I'm not a little bitch, I can confront people without the aid of a moderator. They don't automatically lock threads, if it gets out of hand they will tell us to cool it.

If you must confront him.......please do so in private message.

having to listen to some fagots complain how miserable they are all the freaking time

 

[cliffdweller]

Right. Because you can't get STDs from heterosexual sex.

None of those things have anything to do with being gay. People aren't homophobic because we're gay; they're homophobic because they're ignorant twits.

Sheeshes......all Im try to do is promote peace......and everyone wants to take a swing at one another.

personally, i voted for the general homophobia from society. family rejection would be perhaps the most difficult to deal with, but i've, luckily, never had to deal with that. for me, it is societal homophobia.

You know what pisses me off? when white straight guys tell gay people that they shouldn't be offended by words. it's such bs. there's no one in this world that isn't offended by words, and the notion that there is, is pure fiction. I'd like to be there on the day when that person has to attend their mother and father's funeral, and then i'd like to show up and laugh and mock them for their deaths, and see how they react when "just words" are directed at them, and are meant to be personal and to hurt.

I'd say just general, all-around meeting guys.

if I were straight, I could approach a woman in a store or at a bar and have a 95% chance that, even if she wasn't interested in me, at least she was straight.

as a gay man, randomly approaching a stranger in a non-gay bar or on the street could run the gamut from polite rejection to getting tied up and left for dead.

this.

 

[wonderwort]

a very interesting pattern is emerging.

Roughly around 50% , who vote, said that homophobia from general public is what bothers them the most.

The other three choices make up the other 50%.

Interesting.

smaller dating pool.
It sucks period1. If you live in a smaller city, everyone knows everyone and it's the same guys for the most part over and over. You go online and what happens, the guy you seem to click with is 2 time zones away or so.

homophobia

I voted "other".

While I don't particularly like it when people hate on me, I've learned not to take it personally if it comes from strangers; and if it's from people I know, I just push them out of my life and move on.

I mostly don't care about what everyone thinks of me which means I'm rarely upset or offended by what they say or do. For my work this is a useful attitude.

For me......what the OUTSIDE world thinks about me.........I don't give HALF a rats ass......but when it's someone in my family or people whom I interact with daily.......

Now that cuts down to the bone. OUCH.

some gays are always complaining that the gay dating pool is small and blah blah blah but if gays weren't such a bunch of sissyphobic queens,and were willing to break the whole obsession with white,blond,blue eyes,and hunky men, you would see a lot of good long lasting gay couples;i don't think that the gay pool is small at all,it is just that "some" gay people are not easy to deal with and they have a lot of conflicts in their lives.

the first thing that would have to change in this so called "gay community' is the ever present sissyphobia,and ageism.
