    You may not have noticed that it's Pride month. Yes, a whole month. Pride in what you might ask? Having a good education? Raisng nice kids? Working with sick animals or the homeless? No, Pride in copulating with people of the same sex.

     

    I have no problem with gays. Work with many and consider quite a few of them friends. I just don't get why people are so proud of who they are sexually attracted to. Doesn't make much sense to me. It's like being proud of liking dairy products.  

     

    Just get on with it. It's really not that amazing to the rest of us. Maybe that explains the need to prance around half naked shouting about it. Nobody would pay any attention otherwise 😆

    Well, if you that think all Pride is is people going around shouting about copulation then you're beyond redemption.  We're way off the original subject now so let's leave it there.

    I couldn't care less.

     

    The only reason I notice it is because they prance down the street half naked shouting about it. 

    So you're out getting your sausages and there it is, yet another gay parade with half naked people coming towards you shouting that they want to copulate with people of the same sex. There's no avoiding it is there? I do feel for you. It must be so distressing.  

     

    Honestly. Just be a man.

    National Pride Week?

    Pride is a negative word and one of the seven deadly sins. When people say national pride, they usually refer to xenophobia, hatred of others and a selfish "we rule the world" stance.

    That's biblical pride, the ridiculous concept that God should be put above your own self-respect. Subjugation or Islam. 

     

    You can have pride in your children, pride in your work, pride in your achievements and pride in your self-worth.  There's nothing wrong in that.

    Yes but it's extremely annoying that here on the gay forum vile homophobes always come on to heckle and suggest we need to justify our existence to them.

    Imagine if bigots like that always did that on a racial minority forum.

    That wouldn't be OK.

    Why is it OK to happen on the gay forum?

     

    Who knows why these people do what they do. They seem to get a kick out of it. I'm not so worried about the haters, they're easily dismissed. It's the ones that  promulgate inaccuracies that push my buttons. But again they seem to have old fashioned, entrenched views that won't be shaken: the comfort of feeling superior. 

     

    Oh, and the ones with "gay friends" who agree with every word that leaves their mouths. 🙂  As if that matters. It's usually the same names.

     

    Happy Pride to the lovers and a big raspberry to the haters.

    Playing 'devil's advocate', as stated, only watched part of the trailer.   And get the gist, homo & bisexual a thing in the animal world, so normal, and so should be considered normal in the human world.  No argument from me, as consenting adults can do what ever they wish with their bodies ... I do, and some people think I'm nuts.

     

    Curious though, did the doc touch on (doubtful), the incest in the animal world?  How about inbreeding ?

     

    How about the raping of animals by same ? Along with gang raping, as seen that myself with dogs.

     

    Or the adults killing their young, so no competition later ?

     

    All quite normal in the animal world.   Or maybe the spiders & praying mantis that kill their partners after mating.  :cheesy:

     

    Good defense if arrested for rape or murder in the human world :coffee1:

    Surely a not guilty or acquittal in court.

     

    Cherry picking to fit the narrative ... never really work in real life.

    You're pretty much proving my point.

    You don't get it.

    Anything and everything arms the bigots.

    They don't need any excuse.

    Their bigotry is irrational.

     

    Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism
    and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to
    dehumanize a large group of people, to deny
    their humanity, their dignity and personhood.

    I'm sorry but I'm not going to live my life trying to justify what I am to other people. I'm not going to try to prove that animals do the same as me. I'm not going to try to prove there's a "gay gene" so that I can show that it's a natural phenomenon. I'm not going to try to prove whether or not  God loves gays when it says something derogatory in the Bible. I couldn't care less about arguing the toss about my sexuality with those that oppose it. As you say, it never ends, so why engage with bigots on these issues. You just go round in circles.

     

    Let's stick to the real issues of representation, acceptance, diversity, visibility and most of all, equality, especially this month. 

     

    As I said previously I agree that the counter-argument to the 'not natural' crowd is welcome but my personal opinion is that validating anyone's sexual orientation isn't necessary and we shouldn't entertain anyone that wants to.

    I think its rather slipshod logic to say it's irrelevant.

    I think it's entirely irrelevant. If it was subsequently found that animals didn't actually have same-sex attractions would that invalidate homosexuality in humans? Of course not. That's my point. We shouldn't have to justify what we are with animal behaviour. It justs arms the anti crowd.

    In many species there is a very strong mother-offspring bond.  I suppose you also consider that irrelevant.

    I have no idea what these emojis/characters mean, but they all were displayed when I searched for "odd".

    Well, some animals eat and/or kill their young. Just because that's occurs in nature it's not a good argument for humans to do it. Do you see my point?

     

    Not sure what your second sentence means.

  9. I actually have mixed feelings about this. It's true that showing that same sex attraction is seen in the wild is a good counter-argument to those that say it isn't. However, we are not wild animals. 

     

    David Hume, the moral philosopher, whom I very much admire in other respects, opined that men who were attracted to each other were no better than beasts in the field and applauded two men stoned in the stocks, one who died. Clearly this is absurd and he was criticised for his views, probably driven by his religion.

     

    I have no doubt that homosexuality is purely natural, but the fact that wild animals have same-sex attraction is to my mind irrelevant.

    I find it interesting that some people blame the "right wing" for all their hostility. This hostility goes against the very idea of accepting the homosexual lifestyle. I would like to think we have the freedom to accept homosexuality but also not accept it. This is true freedom whether it be the "right wing" or the left wing.

    It depends on what form that non-acceptance takes. Too often it leads to  inequality, discrimination and worse. 

     

    And for the nth time homosexuality is not  a lifestyle, it's a sexual orientation like heterosexuality.  
     

    I think there's little doubt that the right-wing are predominately the main users of anti-LGBT rhetoric,.

    Your braggart statement is ambiguous. It could mean in the company of 1,500 women, or it could mean that you are boasting of having shagged 1,500 women.

    I can believe the first but do not believe the second.

    I could however, believe that you paid for it with each one. That would sound believable.............

    But I wonder why we all need to know that you are the world's most virile 'poke 'em payer'? 

    I dunno. 1500 women, 20 seconds a time. That's only 8 hours and twenty minutes. 🙂

  12. A chap in our firm collapsed and died on a train on the way to his retirement do. It was never an issue for me after that. Quit work at 50 and came here after two years planning. I didn't know how long it would last but it's 18 years and counting. No plans to go home. Being in a relationship helps.

     

    “The dead are on their way to work, grey limbs rubbing together in an open grave, stack on stack in the metal containers of car, tube and train. The grisly carriages are painted bright colors, guillotine colors of tumbril and blade, execution-bright. Each man and woman goes to their particular scaffold, kneels, and is killed day after day. Each collects their severed head and catches the train home. Some say that they enjoy their work.”
