No, No, no, No Marriage is not just abt love, it is also abt legal rights such as next of kin, inheritance, pensions, superannuation and so on..all the bloody rights that heterosecxuals take for granted. As for marriage being for the purpose of raising kids, what utter bullshit. There are...

What's wrong your millions of High schools you ask? Ask the gays and lesbians who suffer homophobic abuse, and then come back and tell me that those high schools are OK. Sometimes we have no choice but to segregate. The question you should be asking is WHY IS THERE SO MUCH RACISM, SEXISM...

What the hell is a pure lesbian?

One can debate without putting each other down, that's true....what what people have to accept it that part of the debate involves expressing anger or sarcasm, which is not necessarily directed at a specific person but at the culture itself. So if when I shake my fist and spit at...

U R Amazed at my comments? It just proves that heterosexuals just don't get us at all. I'm not gonna bother explaining, I am too exhausted from the other Rainbow room, FLOORNTING! Also Silence, we are not homosexuals, we are Gay and Lesbian! :dance:

Yep and it works just fine, cos the power of moderation is in the members hands actually.

Yes that is quite right, in the same way that a straight person can't call a gay person poofter, fag or queer. There are too many negative assoociatiosn with the word when straight people use it. The same applies to the use of the word WOG. Here in Australia it means a non white australian of...

This is still so confusing, but I will try and ansa one issue in Silence's recent post. If you are moderating an email list or forum such as this, yes it is hard to know where to draw the line on what is offensive and what is not. I am a member of one of the BEST deaf email lists ever. Deaf...

If I was hearing I would be a rock and roll star. I've always wanted to be Bruce Springsteen or Suzi Quatro! Are you ready to ROCK?

I'm also curious about something. It just struck me now re-reading Silence's post....what expectations do straights have of us gays and Lesbians? Especially in the light of Silence's comment,".......and willing to help us through the evolution..."

Silence, I just find your latest post so confusing, what is your reasoning exactly? It seems that you are referring to a very different behaviour. Which was the problem in the use of the word FLAUNT. If you were talking about bad behaviour then yeah I agree, I wouldn't tolerate it, but if you...

I know what you are trying to say Xero, but I disagree with you. The word ****** is a word of abuse. It is another word that white culture uses to put down Black People or People of Colour. For a white person to call a person of Colour a ****** is bad behaviour. It does not matter what the...

Bush_in_2004 et al, I like people from all walks of life and I can mix and chat with the best of them. I people coming into Gay/ Lesbian space to ask questions - but I do get angry at some of the issues because they never die and go on for ever. Such as this topic - it gets me angry cos...

Our society works like that Bush, because we don't get a choice in the matter. TLBG are forced to tone down their behaviour to avoid violence and forced to tone down their behaviour to avoid offending sensibilities. So in the end, how do you build a community with people when there is no trust...

You have answered the question when you said.."granted, homophobes will find ANY behavior "flaunting", still the mistake being made in this thread is that it seems a person is only worthy of support and respect as a human being if they keep their behaviour in check? Sorry, that doesn't work...

With all due respect, what do we mean by flaunting? let's clarify that....before we continue this debate. Secondly, in this RAINBOW folder, I assume it is Gay/ Lesbian space, which means we are free to be who and what we are, without apologising....... So if any heterosexual finds our...

If you or someone has a problem with "flaunting" then it is YOUR and THEIR problem not mine or anyone elses. And SilenceGold Australia is spelt A.U.S.T.R.A.L.I.A not A.U.S.T.R.I.L.I.A..anyway what's wrong with hearing about Australia, America is not the centre of the universe you know...

Whether we go overboard or whether we are subtle, why should it matter? What the hell is the problem people have with flaunting?
