If a lesbian flirts with me and I tell her, "please don't ever flirt with me because I believe homosexual is wrong".

Is that racist or bigot if I say that in a respectable way? Just wanted to let that person know that I am uncomfortable with that.

:ugh:
 
I personally feel prejudice against Homosexuals is bigotry, but yes, there is a way to politely turn down anyone who flirts with you that you aren't attracted to:

"Thank you, but I am not interested."

Here is a definition for you.

big·ot n.
One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

Here are some resources you may find useful:

I know that I have offended many people and to smokers as well... Cause
I have no tact.

But deep down I am not a bigot or racist, because when I was at Gallaudet, I did go to a drag queen show and sat down with a gay friend. And all. And I watched gay movies.

I have met a bigot before.... She hated black people, she always let white people touch her but won't let black people touch her.

I touched her one time on purpose and she stared at me as if she wanted to hang me by a tree.
I saw such hate in her eyes.

So she warned me again to don't touch her.

I was brave person to touch her.

She didn't offend me or say anything hateful toward me.

I even went in kkk website and harass kkk members in their private chatroom.

Anyway, no matter what I say or do, gay people will always say I am a bigot or a gay basher....

I have to say it the right way.

I don't flirt with white guys because I know I am Black because I feel that they may not want black girls. And I respect them. If I go to club with many white people there and if I see a black guy, I would go yay and ask that black guy to dance with me....
If a white guy flirts with me, then I might say "no I don't date white guys".

But you may say, nooo just say that I am not interest, because I am not white.

Same thing with "I am not interest because I am not gay"

You are intolerant of Gays on this forum. I really don't understand how you don't see this as bigotted.

I am bigotted against people who do not support GLBT rights, racial and gender equality - and I am REALLY bigotted against people who treat those with disabilities badly.

eh, eh, eh.. You'll prolly be flirting with me first.
In the past, I had many hetrosexual women flirting with me and I did turned them down because I felt hetrosexual was (and still is) is wrong.
 
Well I guess I am in the wrong forum, because there are too many gays and gay supporters here.

I joined the other forum, cause it is more conservative for me though.

I guess I leave here.

:gpost: And only if Heath would find the links informative and learn to accept us .
 
Here is some of what is discussed in the links:

Most people have not carefully and prayerfully researched the biblical texts often used to condemn God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children.

As you may know, biblical ignorance is an epidemic in the United States. A recent study quoted by Dr. Peter Gomes in The Good Book found that 38 percent of Americans polled were certain the Old Testament was written a few years after Jesus' death. Ten percent believed Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. Many even thought the epistles were the wives of the apostles.

This same kind of biblical ignorance is all too present around the topic of homosexuality. Often people who love and trust God's Word have never given careful and prayerful attention to what the Bible does or doesn't say about homosexuality.

For example, many Christians don't know that:

* Jesus says nothing about same-sex behavior.
* The Jewish prophets are silent about homosexuality.
* Only six or seven of the Bible's one million verses refer to same-sex behavior in any way -- and none of these verses refer to homosexual orientation as it's understood today.

Most people who are certain they know what the Bible says about homosexuality don't know where the verses that reference same-sex behavior can be found. They haven't read them, let alone studied them carefully. They don't know the original meaning of the words in Hebrew or Greek. And they haven't tried to understand the historical context in which those words were written. Yet the assumption that the Bible condemns homosexuality is passed down from generation to generation with very little personal study or research. The consequences of this misinformation are disastrous, not only for God's gay and lesbian children, but for the entire church.
 
Cheri, I thought this was the Christianity forum and I went huh? then I had to look up to the top of the page then realized the forum here is " The Closet"
I spoke my mind and the comments stand. Cheri, I am not gonna cut and run like you hope I will do. You also forget I said some positive things too in this thread.

just say, im not a lesbian. thats all.
 
To say it like that is wrong. It's better to say, "no" than to say you're against homosexuality.

:werd: ....I agree with RebelGirl It's a nicer way to say it then having to say you're against it....
 
OMG!!!..............I cannot believe it? Lets see if I understand this 1......ok. Miss P. asked ...If a lesbian woman started 2 flirt w/her what should she say? W ell................. ok she = I say thank you for the compliment but, I m sorry Im str8t but I appreciate the fact that u thought I was worth flirtin with!! Now, does that sound like something Miss P. should say or what she probably does say? Either way, the fact is Miss P. just thank the woman for the compliment and very politely say I m sorry but I m str8t. as far as u being black and only flrit w/ ummm black men (ur words not mine) well thats what I call (my personal opinion here mind u) that reverse discrimination. Let me explain simply enough so as not to offend any , I am italian and irish and deaf and a lesbian (what a combo, I know, at least thats what my mom says lol.) Now, if I went 2 a party or a club and saw a variety of ppl from different walks of life and went only 2 my friends who r either gay and deaf or italian and irish, to socialise, because I don t want 2 be talked 2 or flirted with by any 1 other then the 4 things I have said that I am, Well my dear thats reverse discrimination!!
peace and love to all my sisters n brothers of the rainbow ,kat
