I am not going to celebrating it but it don't mean I hate/dislike them at all but I don't feel comfortable with them.

When I lived in Los Angeles between the years of 1990 to 1992, I went to a lot of events celebrating Gays and Lesbians. One was a parade on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood (between Robertson Blvd and...ergh...can't remember, oops...but it was away from Hollywood, not towards.
I had fun watching the parade, heaps of outrageously dressed people and fun watching gays and lesbians having fun, kissing the same sex, etc.

I had a great time.

a comment was made to me abt why do u want to embarrass urself announcing how proud u are of your homosexuality. I got to thinking abt this person and this person's point was clearly in the wrong he hasn't see life like some of us has...

my car was involved in a gay bashing and the guy that did it went to jail on two charges the at the time newly charged for hate crime, and vandalisim he only got at least from my understanding a 6 months county time or prison if i recalled right and now had a 5 yr probation/parole services to complete he has to go to anger management classes he also has to pay for the damages for my car which costed me close to 3k but i know i ll never see one red cent for that but thats ok the point is its not abt being charged for something he did wrong its abt the ingorancy.

there are too many poeple in today's soceity who automatically judge by the sexuality saying *eww* or just basically thinking we're doing this cuz we were raped or we were just running away from the reality of the society. it's not about that. its how we feel inside of ourselves and consider ourselves some poeple will take up to 15 yrs before they come out of the closet whilist some just come out after thier absoultely shure of themselves. i know i came out at such an odd way but i was glad i did and the weight of my shoulder was gone, i felt good about that and having support from families and all my friends thats a very good thing to have. all we just have to understand is we all want to be happy with life, it doesn't truly matter if there was a homophobic person who just is plain ingorant or has a reglious belif, i was taught to say this, if we cant say anything nice to other poeple it's best not to say anytihng at all but say one thing all u have to say is i disagree with ur lifestyle but i respect u thats all u can say and leave them to thier lives, thats a show of good sportsmanship to the fellow poeple across the nation.

may there be peace within the gays and lesbains society who work along side the hetrosexual poeple WE ALL LOVE U JUST FOR U!

I remember that, java...sure was shocked when that happened. I was scared of him but am glad that it's in the past and that we all are not anywhere near that dickhead. Important part was that you're OK, that you didn't get injured at all.

Definitely, I second you. I just can't trust the guy anymore nor what he says, etc. He lies all the times and just can't be honest for one minute.
In fact, I'm glad that I don't talk with him anymore...I just wish that he'd pay you, my sister and me back of what he owes us! Grrrr....*sigh*

I got to play "Pussy Putt-Putt" at the festival. It as histerical, they had a very graphic clay vagina you had to put to golfball into, and 4 clay breasts as your obstacles. It was insane! There wasn't a woman to be seen in a shirt so after about 10 minutes my friend and I were half naked (Downside... sunburned nipples OUCH!) Drank a dacqueri from a penis-shaped cup. it was insane. I finally got a rainbow sticker on my car!

I know I am not gay but I have always wanted to check out the parade in SF ( I used to be from the bay ) but I dont want to offend those who are homosexual but I do my part respecting and defending homosexuality. it is amazing how closeminded people are i was shocked for example about california voting no for same sex marriage. I thought people would be okay with same sex marriage, unfortunately I couldnt vote since I wasnt a citizen at the time

Bummer on that...when did they vote on that? Was it anytime recently or ? If it happened between the years of 1998 to now...that explains...I would've voted, but I don't live in California anymore. But..BUT, once I've become an Australian Citizen, and if that ever comes up here in the election, I will DEFINITELY vote for it.

Giving MY support to my mates who are gay/lesbian.

What do you all think about Tennessee's Senator Dr. Bill Frist on his recent news against the gay marriages?

Click for story.

(I hope I am not going off-topic here)

It just shows how close-minded America is, whereas many other countries in Europe and Canada are starting to accept gay people.

Holland and Belgium are the only two countries in this world to grant FULL MARRIAGE rights to homosexual couples.

Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have granted same sex partnership registrations since 1990s, and have made a pact with each other in 1995 to honour and recognise the partnership from these 4 countries.

France passed a law in late 1990s called PACS, which is like a civil union law allowing opposite sex and same sex partners to have marriage rights. Germany also followed suit shortly afterwards. I am not sure about other countries, but I hear there are some countries starting to consider same sex partnerships, like in England, as mentioned in the article.

I think the US should be ashamed for boasting of being the land of freedom, yet denying most basic human rights to their own homosexual citizens, just because of religious beliefs. Whatever happened to the separation of the Church and the State? Such hypocrisy... Need I say more?

Ziusudra · 07-02-2003, 06:57 AM

Yeah, in Australia, they don't grant very many rights to gay couples regarding marriage. I think it's unfair that they don't allow same sex marriages nor equal rights to de facto couples. I'm not gay myself but I do have a few gay friends, and one in particular said to me that he wishes to see some of us get married so he can share in the joys of marriage since he can't get married himself. I think that's a shame, no one should be deprived of the right to get married because of their sexuality. It's just like saying straight couples can't marry but gay ones can. Oops I hope this isn't off topic heh.

Hey Ziggy, nah you weren't going off-topic at all. I think you made a good point there. It's true, it's a shame that gay/lesbian couples cannot share in the joys of marriage like hetros do. I think it'll be a flamboyant event if such laws were passed and allowed gays to get married legally.

I'd say that now that Sen Strom Thurmon has died, there is no need for a doctor in the Senate. Frist can go back home and the fine folks of Tennessee can send someone more in tune our society to the Senate.

Agree?
