Now you accuse me of being homophobic simply because I disagree with you.

 

This is a technique used in an effort to belittle and discredit individuals who simply hold a differing opinion than you. 

 

You have absolutely zero insight or knowledge into my views about the subject. None.

 

It is you that appears to have an agenda.

That's a pretty accurate description of what happens. Look for some hint of homophobia, or make it up, and use it to discredit an individual in an attempt to win a debate. When they start using terms like "heterophobia", then we can play.

No I did not accuse you of being homophobic, I said 'on this thread'. You complain about the 'gay victim' card that is being played out in your view, and I just gave you the reasoning behind it. 

 

As I said to another poster, re-read the thread, the homophobic posts of some are still there for anyone to read, despite it being in violation of forum guideline #10.

 

Alright thank you for clarifying.

Oh I agree, ask the bloke that desegrated the Erawan Shrine.

The point is they don't need a lot of reasons to attack foreigners. The hate is already there - all they need is an excuse. Showing your butt AT temples is not a safe activity.

There is absolutely no need to make up a hint of homophobia, unless you cannot read...

I agree, you are probably right. This in my view does not reflect good on the Thais. But I also think we are talking about a small minority.

Maybe you can read, but I had some concerns about your ability to comprehend. Simply adding the word "gay" to "couple" is hint enough to set the likes of you off on a rampage.

You must be joking. All the rampage that is visible here are people getting their nickers in a twist about a couple showing their buts. 

 

The blatant homophobia by many on this thread another great example of the rampage you talk about. 

 

Pot kettle black.

 

I merely react. And if that somehow constitute as being on a rampage, so be it. I would say that some people on here needs more perspective and a brain.

LOL> I'd say your performance on here well approximates a "rampage". Your last comment could suggest you're the one in need of more perspective and brain power. Smart people don't normally go around bragging that they are smart... quite the opposite actually. Your criteria for being smart is what? If people agree with you they must be smart, otherwise, they are dumb with no perspective?

[Stargeezr]

These two Gays, showed their Ugly American butts, that is for sure.

  Too bad they did not lose some time in the Thai jails, until they were totally

sick of eating rice, and protein.  I think they got away lucky.

A small minority of 68 million people is still a big group of people able to do harm. I don't think the "minority" is as small as you think it is.

Rampage? 

 

Rsmpage is what would tske place if these stunts were performed in various Middle Eastern Countries in front of their religious institutions. 

 

Lets keep this in context.

Nowhere did I claim I was smart. However homophobia as such is dumb.

 

The perspective bit is geared towards people advocating a jail sentence, absolutely unjust and inappropriate.

Not in so many words. You suggested that people (who don't agree with you) should gain perspective AND a brain. LOL.

 

The word "homophobia" has taken on too broad a meaning, well past its original use and as such, has no useful meaning in discussions. I wish you'd give THAT a break.

I did not suggest that at all, the post you responded too contains a clear explanation about what I did suggest. Cannot make it any clearer.

 

I stop playing the homophobic card if people stop posting homophobic remarks. And not a moment sooner.

I have to agree that the married American couple have been relatively lucky as they were clearly threatened with charges that would have meant several years in Thai prison. But they did lose some time incarcerated here and I'm sure they ain't going to be working for the tourism board here anytime soon ... 

I also have to agree that their butts aren't especially fetching. But I don't think that was their point as the photos weren't for porn, they were their idea for a themed photo project about their travels.

Good to hear. The persistent vile homophobia that's been posted here (and everywhere on the net about this story) demands pushback. People shouldn't be expected to just take such disgusting bigotry without calling it out, any more than people should just passively accept racism or sexual harassment. 

 

People should understand that homophobia kills as does racism. This fake false equivalence of calling people that correctly call out homophobia as heterophobes doesn't pass the total B.S. test.

Hetrophobes , indeed utter bullshit, as if hetero's suddenly have lesser rights than Gay people. You cannot possibly be further away from reality...

I could see in some rare social instances like in a very gay work environment where it's conceivable that straight people could be discriminated against. But overall socially and globally, you're talking about an issue that is very insignificant statistically. For example, I doubt in the history of the world that a straight kid committed suicide because of social heterophobia or was beaten to death by gay thugs for being straight.

Precisely. I know of several gay people that felt the need to marry a woman, just because one of the parents (or both), cannot accept their son being gay. No one has to go through that.

Your several gay friends that entered heterosexual marriage and perhaps a family to please their parents despite knowing they were defrauding their partners need to grow a pair of testicles.   What kind of gutless loser is mature enough to marry but not mature enough to face the consequences of their actions?  Your several gay friends need counselling not pity

I will let them know. Surprised you seem to know exactly what had transpired without even knowing the persons or the exact circumstances. Considering your contributions to this thread, that comes as no surprise. 

Consideration such an alien concept when gay people are concerned... The forum rules prevent me from posting exactly what I think of your contributions to this thread...

 

As to growing testicles. maybe you should practice what you preach, instead of whinging about two guys showing their butts at a temple.

Signs an actual dialogue ad exchange is over are when you stop hearing or offering some acknowledgement of what was said and steer off on your own theme.

 

Signs it was deteriorating were when my opinion was degraded to an "agenda" and any opposing view to the topic was immediately catsgorized as "homophobia"...which apparently now means any opinion not shared with a gay or about the topic of gay. 

 

Earlier it was noted that Thailand also has an LGBT Culture or Community. I would like to point outa glaring difference...when a Thai person is ga it is simply one part of their identity, balanced with their religion, work, family, etc...it  is not their entire identity as it is a gay man from the US. I have not noticed the need for them to turn conversations into a "gay vs hetero" as you have managed to do in the last page. 

 

Child suicide is a heartbreaking issue and for anyone to broach the subject to give their own position some greater validity is a sorry person indeed. The stresses present in a childs life which can lead them to make such a choice are in no way unique to the gay community. The world does not revolve around you. You demand hetero acceptance for your lifestyle but time and again you offer zero attempt at reciprocity.

 

Very similar to this gay couple traveling the world sticking their butts in everybodies face and lacking the consideration to even offer apology or feel remorse when it has been brought to their attention they have offended many of their hosts.

Could you calm down and read, I did not mention child suicide, someone else did. As to self centered, that is extremely rich considering the subject! Pot kettle pitch black

How of course would I know the exact circumstances of your several gay male friends that chose to deceive their spouses in order to keep their parents happy. Please share the full reasoning for their deceit with us all, if it is relevant. If it was important you surely would have informed us of it instead of claiming homophobia was the cause of their problems.

 

You can pm me with your opinion on my postings.. I promise I won t tell on you if you use manly or course language

No need for pm, and it does not take a Nobel prize winner to realize homophobia was indeed the reason.
