Ok, so here's my rant.Why is it that homos (homosexuals, not homosapiens you retards :P) always have to tell everyone that they are gay? ex 1: Homo Bumper Stickers. Rainbows. Honk if your a Homo, etc. It's annoying. Do I have to drive on the highway and pass a homo? ex 2: Talking like a girl. Why do u talk like that? Seriously? Why is it when someone comes out, they talk all .. sorry for my wording.. gay? I don't really have a problem with homos. They don't bother me. As long as they don't tell me about their gayness or demonstrate examples 1 or 2, then I really don't give a shit. I'm a heterosexual. I don't have bumper stickers that say "I like chicks". I don't talk funny. Another thing. I love the people that say if you make fun of gays, it's because you are yourself. That is the most retarded thing I ever heard. Yeah.. If someone goes and says "Fuck Fags!", then they are gay? gimme a break. Ok.. whatever.. let the flames (wow.. what a coincedence) begin. ------------------

I would suspect that they would tell you that it's because they've admitted something that is hard for people to deal with. But like anything else, it gets easier the more you say something. Perhaps that's the reason quote:
ex 1: Homo Bumper Stickers. Rainbows. Honk if your a Homo, etc. It's annoying. Do I have to drive on the highway and pass a homo?
It may be that they like those particular bumper stickers more than "Very funny, scotty, now beam down my pants" or "Don't mess with Texas" or whatever quote:
ex 2: Talking like a girl. Why do u talk like that? Seriously? Why is it when someone comes out, they talk all .. sorry for my wording.. gay?
I don't think this is the case across the board, more of a stereotype quote:
I don't really have a problem with homos. They don't bother me.
Obviously  quote:

No, I'm certain that many people who argue strongly against homosexuality are very heterosexual. But it does sometimes occur that those who are most vehement against something are secretly/unknowingly favorable towards it. For instance, have you ever told anyone a song or movie sucks even though you like it, but you know they don't/you want to just go along with the crowd...it's kinda the same thing ------------------

i agree about #1. if youre gay, thats fine by me. i couldnt care less either way. i mean geez, i hate it when anyone flaunts anything about themselves. black people who are are like "yay! im black" get on my nerves. i dont care. i personally dont care unless it affects me personally. i.e. if your a chick and im hitting on you, but your lesbian, then id apreciate it if you told me. but other than that, it really doesnt matter, so shut up already...

When you are part of a recently liberated social or ethnic group that has historically been persecuted, abused, and forced to life a life of shameful secrecy, it probably feels good to let everyone know that times are changing, and that you are proud to be what you are, despite the bigotry of others.When Billy Crystal received some sort of Academy honor at the Oscars a few years back, he got up on stage and said, "I'm Billy Crystal, and I'm a Jewish actor." (he also repeated it in Hebrew) Personally, I could give a shit less, but I'm sure he felt great about saying that on national television, and he gets my respect for proclaiming his feelings. However, through your rationale about blacks, Sithiee, shouldn't you be annoyed by this? If you're not annoyed (and I'm pretty sure you aren't), I'd say your're slowly approaching hypocrisy level. So what if people express their individual liberties in public? If an act doesn't affect us (and merely getting annoyed by is doesn't count) then I don't think we should be concerned about it. BTW, I've seen many a dork wearing shirts that say, "chicks dig me."

Probably to raise social awareness, and to bring the issue into the open so that people will be less fearful and hateful towards them. It's a human tendency to fear the unknown. And as we all know, "Fear leads to hate, hate leads to anger, anger leads to suffering." quote:

Statistically speaking, yes. There are a lot more gay people out there than you probably realize. Findings from the famous Kinsey study suggests that as many as 1 in 10 North Americans get involved in homosexual encounters in their lifetime. quote:
I don't really have a problem with homos. They don't bother me. As long as they don't tell me about their gayness ... then I really don't give a shit. I'm a heterosexual.
So essentially what you're saying is that as long as they don't show their faces, as long as they keep it behind closed doors, it's fine with you. Seems to me like you do have some problems with homosexuality. And another thing: thanks for announcing your heterosexual orientation. <sarcasm> Now we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief! </sarcasm> In the future, before you go off on a rant against something, be sure that you're practicing what you're preaching. quote:
Another thing. I love the people that say if you make fun of gays, it's because you are yourself. That is the most retarded thing I ever heard.
How absolutely moronic that people make such assinine statements. Too bad for you that it's true. Don't believe me? Then take a look at the scientific findings for yourself.

whiskey, youre wrong. it does sort of annoy me, because ya know what? i knew he was jewish. anyone who couldnt tell should be beaten with a big stick. i mean, with my friends, im always pointing out how im jewish, but its like a big joke, so its not to be like "yay, im jewish" just more like "haha i made the same joke again and its still funny." im sure its not funny to you, but its completely out of context here.
