Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

I’d also like to make clear to anyone, I’m a lesbian because I like women, not because I hate men. I really like men alot, I just don’t want anyone’s penis. Sorry 'bout that…

Me neither.

All this friendly gay-hetero chatter is starting to be quite gay in and of itself.
In response to someones questioning me about why I don’t agree with the gay lifestyle? When I mean lifestyle I mean as in taking it up the ass lifestyle.

I find it offensive to see two men kissing in public. Please stay in the closet and have gay get togethers in the privacy of your own homes…like tupperware parties.
On the other hand I don’t like looking at scantily clad fat women either and have never enjoyed seeing a real fat guy at the beach wearing a speedo. I also hate talking to people who are sporting a mouth full of rotten teeth.
All these things and more rub me the wrong way.
I guess there must be something wrong with me?

I do believe that was an openly gay burn…

By the way, anyone who thinks that gay men stay away from straight guys is wrong. There are many gays who chase straight men. At a previous job, a rather hot T-vixen I was dating got into a slap fight with a guy that was mad because “she stole his man” (me).

I didn’t know he was gay and had talked to the guy as a way to get to her (they sat in the same cube farm).

I wasn’t there for it, but I heard she beat his ass like a pinata. (She was 5’11" & 155, studied Krav Maga. He was 5’5" and maybe 120.) [/quote]

Well, that can’t be all that common. lol. Funny stuff, though

Hundreds discharged under gay policy

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hundreds of officers and health care professionals have been discharged in the past 10 years under the Pentagon’s policy on gays, a loss that, while relatively small in numbers, involves troops who are expensive for the military to educate and train.

The 350 or so affected are a tiny fraction of the 1.4 million members of the uniformed services and about 3.5 per cent of the more than 10,000 people discharged under the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy since its inception in 1994.

But many were military school graduates or service members who went to medical school at the taxpayers’ expense, troops not as easily replaced by a country at war that is struggling to fill its enlistment quotas.

“You don’t just go out on the street tomorrow and pluck someone from the general population who has an Air Force education, someone trained as a physician, someone who bleeds Air Force blue, who is willing to serve, and that you can put in Iraq tomorrow,” said Beth Schissel, who graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1989 and went on to medical school.

Schissel was forced out of the military after she acknowledged that she was gay.

According to figures compiled by the Pentagon and released by the Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the Military, Schissel is one of 244 medical and health professionals discharged from 1994 through 2003 under the policy that allows gays and lesbians to serve as long as they abstain from homosexual activity and do not disclose their sexual orientation. Congress approved the policy in 1993.

There were 137 officers discharged during that period. The database compiled by the Pentagon does not include names, but it appears that about 30 of the medical personnel who were discharged may also be included in the list of officers.

The centre - a research unit of the Institute for Social, Behavioral & Economic Research of the University of California - promotes analysis of the issue of gays in the military.

“These discharges comprise a very small percentage of the total and should be viewed in that context,” said Lt.-Col. Ellen Krenke, a Pentagon spokeswoman. She added that troops discharged under the law can continue to serve their country by becoming a private military contractor or working for other federal agencies.

Opponents of the policy on gays acknowledge that the number of those discharged is small. But they say the policy exacerbates a shortage of medical specialists in the military when they are needed the most.

Late last year, army officials acknowledged in a congressional hearing that they are seeing shortfalls in key medical specialties.

“What advantage is the military getting by firing brain surgeons at the very time our wounded soldiers aren’t receiving the medical care they need?” said Aaron Belkin, associate professor of political science at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Overall, the number of discharges has gone down in recent years.

“When we’re at war, commanders know that gay personnel are just as important as any other personnel,” said Nathaniel Frank, senior research fellow at the centre. He said that in some instances commanders knew someone in their unit was gay but ignored it.

The overall discharges peaked in 2000 and 2001, on the heels of the 1999 murder of Pfc. Barry Winchell, who was bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, who believed Winchell was gay. About one-sixth of the discharges in 2001 were at that base.

Officials did not provide estimates on the cost of a military education or one for medical personnel. However, according to the private American Medical Student Association, average annual tuition and fees at public and private U.S. medical schools in 2002 were $14,577 and $30,960 US, respectively.

Early last year, the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, estimated it cost the Pentagon nearly $200 million to recruit and train replacements for the nearly 9,500 troops that had to leave the military because of the policy. The losses included hundreds of highly skilled troops, including translators, between 1994 and 2003.

Opponents of the policy are backing legislation in the House sponsored by Representative Marty Meehan, a Massachusetts Democrat, that would repeal the law. But that bill - with 107 co-sponsors - is considered a longshot in the Republican-controlled House.

You’re talking politics and how a gay dude/girl can use the system to keep from going to war.

I’m talking about the climate in the military and the shift toward all around acceptance in the workplace.

I think being gay is some kind of mental disease. I don’t care that most of the rest of society thinks it’s Okeedokee.
I find it offensive to see two men kissing in public. Please stay in the closet and have gay get togethers in the privacy of your own homes…like tupperware parties.
On the other hand I don’t like looking at scantily clad fat women either and have never enjoyed seeing a real fat guy at the beach wearing a speedo. I also hate talking to people who are sporting a mouth full of rotten teeth.

You have a lot of hate. Perhaps you are so unhappy because you haven’t yet accepted your true gayness??? C’mon, join the party.

There you go. Doesn’t it feel much better not to try and be PC while objecting to someone’s sexual preferences?

I think people who ‘disagree’ with the non-harmful sexual practices of other people are mentally diseased.

PS I hate it when there’s dried ketchup on the top of the ketchup bottle. That makes me go INSANE.

What Zap said.

I only wish I was attractive and actually looked like a bodybuilder…till then I keep trying to relate to other men who aren’t alpha and since I have NO chance of ever competing in any comp outside of Mr Nowhere california I’ll just keep playing little kiddy games on the net w/ equally butt faced dudes who also wish they were attractive. Yes I do wanna know.

My .02…

Big deal. One of my wrestlers that I coach is gay. The footbal players all think ALL my wrestlers are gay just because we wrestle - in spite of the fact that we lift more and can kick their asses and get MUCH more tail. I got checked out by a guy for the first time that I’m aware of last week - it still weirded me out, but I dealt with it. Who cares?

It’s a small segment of the populaton that gets a lot of shit, and shouldn’t. You likely know many more gay people than you realize.

The only thing that REALLY bugs me is not whether someone is gay, but gay culture itself. Often when someone comes out of the closet they slowly adopt the weird social custom of flaming out - full on Queer Eye for the Straight guy - lisp and all. I’ve seen it happen to friends who come out of closet. It’s purely an affectation - not who they are, but somethat they become.

I don’t care if you like guys, just don’t turn into a girl, please!

On the flip side though…if more guys looked like Southern Girl or American Girl or Renn I could go bi! :slight_smile:

WMD, I don’t have anger towards anyone. I am disapointed in my cousin and I stated that the ultimate reponsibility was his. He was weak and could not handle the pressures of the lifestyle he chose. That doesn’t mean that I think the lifestyle is “good” per say, but i’m not one to tell people how to live thier lives. Also in case you have been sleeping for the past 3 years, I am a sarcastic bastard. Almost everything I say has a sarcastic overtone. Anyways, I don’t think riding a motorcycle without a helmet is a good idea, nor do I think a gay lifestyle, at least in the form my cousin experienced it, is a good idea. Do I discriminate or hate people who don’t wear a helmet when they ride? Of course not, I think you see where i’m going with this.

And anyways, I already told you that I love lesbians. In fact if gays are one step below normal humans, lesbians are ceretainly one step above normal humans. Well at least if they are the pretty lesbians, with big boobs and also the ones that want to let me watch or even join them in sexual excapades. And just so you all know, gays are certainly one step lower than humans, I was at DC and had the displeasure of seeing dan regularly so I know pretty well just how bad these “gays” are.

Nice try dude, you can’t fool my gaydar. We know you are gay because you referenced tupperware. You are a grown man, and just mentioned a tupperware party, dude thats gay. Also your screen name? Grey? Dude we all know that you were setting up your account while spanking it to gay porn and mistakenly hit the re keys when you were aiming for the a key. I know you are probably just joking and being sarcastic, but seriously, we are trying to geta solid count of how many gays there are so we can properly persecute and ridicule them so could you please stop fooling around and just say your gay for the record. Thanks,

Here’s a situation I would like to hear some opinions on. It has developed over the past several months, but in recent weeks has escalated to the point of being more than just irritating.

An old friend of mine is gay. He had been a friend of my dads and has been around just about my whole life. While my dad was still alive, the guy was just like anybody else. He would hang out and have a couple beers, participate in family functions, all of the usual stuff that most freinds of my family participated in. The whole time, nobody ever thoght twice about the fact that he was gay. It was given about as much consideration as the sexuality of someone who isn’t. So my dad passes away about 13 years ago. Shortly after, the “friend” becomes about as forward as anybody could possibly be, telling me explicitly what he wants and even offering money for it. I asked him why he was suddenly so interested, and he explains that him and my father had an agreement. He can hang around, be part of the family, but no hitting on me or my brothers. He also explained that since dad died, the agreement dies with him. I told the “friend” that I’m straight, don’t have any interest in experimenting, and no thanks.
Time passes, and through out the past few years I’ve had a decent amount of interraction with the guy. He’s getting prety old, and has hired me to cut his grass and keep up his house a bit. The problem is that with every interaction with the guy he tries some way to coerce me into some gay sex with him. He’s offered money, drugs, and even offered to rent a whore so he could jump in(on me). In our last conversation he tried to explain that me having sex with him wouldn’t be gay, because I would be doing the same thing with him as I would be doing with my girlfriend. At this point, I lost it. I told him to either keep his libido in check, of just fuck off.

For the past couple of weeks the guy has been calling me very persistently, sometimes twice a day. I whon’t call back, because I’ve allready told the guy to fuck off. In 13 years this guy has not gotten the picture. My girlfriend is getting irritated with his incessant calling, and I’m getting pissed off because the old bastard whon’t leave me alone. I’m going to be talking to him later to tell him to quit bothering me(for the second time), but I seiously doubt that he will get the message.

So- Gay or straight, what do you make of that situation?
I’ve had a lot of interraction with homosexuals in the past, and tollerance for another sexuality doesn’t seem to be an issue, but this guy takes the fucking cake.

Yeesh, I’ve had some gay interest shown towards me, (I guess gay men like muscles?? I don’t know), but nothing ever like that.

The way I see it, if I were to pester a girl for that long, offer her drugs and money and a male prostitute to help ease things along, it would probably be grounds for legal action against me, or at least a restraining order.

So completely ignoring the fact that you’re not gay, he’s still way out of line, let alone the fact that he’s asking you to participate in a homosexual act against your will.

I would personally do what it takes to sever ties with this guy, he seems a bit off to me…

He sounds like a predator. Keep him away from you and your family.

I have been hit on a number of times by gay acquaintances and gay strangers (but never my gay friend).

I was never offended and they never bothered me when I politely told them I was not interested.

Don’t let your sensitivity get in the way. This guy is an asshole.

Hmmm…legal action, as in a sexual harassment case? It sounds like you might have something given that you have made what seems a reasonable effort to make him stop.

Hah…I have to admit, I was trying to find an image of that old man with the walker on Family Guy who is always hitting on Chris (and other young boys), but alas I could not… (“Hey paper boy, that’s a nice muscle-y throwin’ arm you got there. You wanna come inside for a popsicle?”)
