Alright, I have yet to see a single thread about this in all my time at GD. I realize that anywhere else on the internet, having a thread about this would bring up a shitstorm, a raging infero of fecal matter consuming all who take part.
Let's talk about homosexuality.
More specifically, I want to hear Bay 12's opinions on it. I am positive we have at least some members who may or may not be homosexual. I'm not myself, which is probably the reason I actually use the word "homosexual" as for some reason that and the word "gay" are the only ones I can come up with that don't sound at least slightly innately negatively connotative. However, knowing a few people who have come out to me as such, I am interested in what people on here have to say on the matter.
Only thing: keep it civil. Please don't flame people. Though I have a feeling I don't have to tell you guys that twice. I am open to all opinions and views though, and won't disrespect anyone for what they think about this. (oh and when I say homosexual, I mean anything from the LGBT spectrum)
My opinions: I was raised in an area where generally no one cares. I was never taught anything other than to accept people for who they are, so they only differing opinions I've really heard were from extended family members, people outside of my town and the internet. I think the fact, though, that apparently the largest group of people in my country (America, dunno about how it is in the UK or other countries though if it is different I'd like to hear that too!) are both vocal and against nonstandard sexual preferences is an impediment in the lives of people who are gay and scared to say anything. I guess what I'm trying to say is I think it's sad that they're probably right in that they have things to fear (other people, specifically) if they say anything. Hmm.
