Esmoreit on 24 May 2009

I would just like to go into the point of people being proud of their sexuality.

I believe it's fine to be proud of being gay.

The way I see it, people are proud of their nation or "race" (I don't believe there is a race anymore) because of what obstacles they have overcome. Mostly being a minority versus a majority. People of a country are proud of what they accomplished in the world. The Italians are proud of their Roman era heritage, the Chinese of their Empire, the Japanese for their rich culture in comparison to the rest of Asia and the role they now have in the world, the Dutch for winning the 1988 soccer cup (and the liberal ideas on Drugs, Gay marriage, etc.)
Race, same way. Blacks are proud of being black due to what they achieved the last decennia's.

Why can't the gay people be proud of what they accomplished? They have gone from being hunted down, killed, marked als unequal to full civilians, in some aprts of the world with equal rights as to marriage etc. And as of this moment, the movement is still growing. More and more countries allow gays to marry. Countries openly criticise freaking Russia for their stance on homosexuals and more and more people dare to come out. that is an awesome thing for a minority to do and they can be damn proud about it aswell.

The only thing I'd say is that there is a large difference between being proud of your country and that of your sexual preferences.

I have no problem with gay people being noisy as they still don't have the right to marry people they're attracted too. Until that time I hope many more out and proud style threads are created.

Let us hope that some day sexuality truly because a non-issue, both legally and socially.


Best quote in the entire thread. Kudos to you!

I'm straight but I got a close friend whose gay and struggled alot with it. You see he's a a hardball christian and he refuses to accept himself being gay. He is addicted to crossdressing and has done it for 10 years and even seriously considered getting a gender swap. I'm trying to help him get through it because he hates himself for being gay.

LOL! That is hilarious!

Seriously though, how does a 15 year old manage to come to this belief/assumption?

Are you kidding? Do you truly not see a difference in being a proud American/Canadian/etc. and one who is a proud gay/lesbo?

I don't see the difference. You actually have more choice in where you live as to whether you are gay or not (where there is no choice).

I apologise If i offended anyone with my litttle tiz with Akvod, it got out of hand over such a silly thing as semantics. Sorry to you too Akvod, I should have just accepted that you have your own opinion on the matter, and left it at that.
