SICK AND TIRED OF IT
I have had to read negative comments about gays, lesbians and bi. There are far too many homophobic people in this forum.
If their personal believes cant stand love, what can I say?
(I am a hetero lady, if this information is a kind of important for you).

I found you post offensive and insulting to so many people who choose to make negative comments about gays, lesbians and bis.
You don't even treat them as valid human being worth being considered but instead invalidate their thoughts and feelings before they are even expressed by calling them 'homophobes'. As if any negative opinion must be automatically irrational and not worth consideration.
As if there must be something wrong with them from that start so there is no need to give them any credibility or their opinions any consideration.
Offensive.
As for those other people who may have an irrational fear of homosexuals - who are you to judge them?
If that is how they were born then what right do you have to silence them or criticize?

So do you also find offense in anti racists criticising racists? Or is it just a case of choosing to only hear what you want?

Not a good comparison. The OP was hostile and calling for silence from those who would make negative comments about gays, lesbians.
Such a person is not necessarily a 'Gayist' and may well believe they are looking out for the best interests of those practicing the homosexuality.
Having said that,
I am critical of those who would disrespect and disregard and want to silence 'racists' opinions.
If we are to make a comparison then I would be critical of someone who decides
a) they somehow got appointed to determine what is 'racist',
b) they would call those giving the racist opinion 'insane' and therefore not worth giving any consideration,
c) presume the racist opinion giver is no longer a worthwhile human being.
But back to this topic:
There are many people, maybe even a majority of people in our society who, based on information and experience available to them and with consideration determine or believe that homosexual behavior is anything from an offense against nature itself, a sexual perversion to a weird or just plain lower standard of living.
Now.. you may not agree with them and that is fine but you ought to at least give them some base dignity as actual human beings and at least their opinion as valid enough to be given and looked at and by all means if you disagree then do so,
but,
don't disregard them or their view as worthless and without any consideration from the start. |
