In other news, I am rather tired of this topic coming up. People will answer one way, and another. It's just trawling through a thread of the same 2 posts spoken in slightly different ways. Ocassionally something interesting will come up, but still. Bleh. I'm going to add to the swamp of answers: I am a strong supporter of homosexuality because I'm bi myself. If your religion is against it, good for you. If you dislike the idea of two men or women together, good for you. If you think it's genetically or physically wrong, good for you. If you keep your homophobic business behind closed doors, we'll keep our homosexuality behind closed doors. Although I don't see anything wrong with a gay couple kissing or holding hands in public just as a straight couple would.
I'm indifferent. I think that if people are gay, in no means are they doing wrong by being so, it is ok. But I see them like I see straight people,so I support neither side in it. Well, unless they are being critisied in a big manner for it, then ill defend them with all my might!
I personally think the whole camp thing is fabulous! (couldn't resist)StarStruckStrumpets said:
As far as I know, having a 'girly voice' is uncontrollable. Theres a guy I work with, and as far as I can tell his campness (and he is VERY camp) isn't forced or put on. It's just the way he is.
In the same way, there was a teacher at my school who had a camp voice but was undeniably straight, as in he had a wife and children.
I would have thought that many gay men would not live a camp lifestyle if they had the choice. It instantly tells everyone nearby that they are gay, and can lead to some nasty situations. Coming back to the guy I work with, a customer started shouting at him for speaking the way he does, and it routinely get him into these sorts of situations. I'm sure if he could, he wouldn't act the way he does.
Ok then.ace_of_something said:
I have to say, I don't actually know why I'm gay, looking back I guess I always was, even when I was dating guys. And I've had a lot of people try to argue that my... shall we say 'terrible' relationships with men are why I'm gay, but looking back I was never really attracted to guys in anyway, I was more just trying to act how I thought was 'normal' and repressing my true feelings, probably for fear of what my family would do if they found out.... in fact I'm still scared by that thought, but I got tired of lying to myself I guess.
SUPPORT it? No. Accept it? Yes.
Frankly, as long as it doesn't directly affect me, do whatever you want. However I hate the attitude of pro-gay people as much as anti-gay ones. So convoluted and obnoxious, especially the younger demographic that seemingly wants everyone to be gay just like in their uber-kawaii whateverXwhocares shipping fanfic.
Campness annoys me to the hilt - It's an amusing trait to some degree (see Graham Norton), but taking it to a ridiculous level pisses me off something awful (see Louie Spence). Obviously not every camp person is actually gay, but there's a strong correlation.
Long story short, be gay, be lesbian, be whatever. I don't care as long as it doesn't affect me directly, and you don't shove it in my face like it's "different" or important.

Honestly not sure how people can be against it... how does the harmless act that other people do, affect you in any way?
So any time a British person gets humiliated, I can go "take that British!"? Or any time a man does something stupid, it reflects upon all men? Sorry dude, but in saying that, you are exactly the same as he is.warcraft4life said:
As do I!Zhandarr said:
And your point about this thread I also agree with. Its either people saying its wrong 1. but it's just their opinion, so can't be debated (my personal pet hate. If you can't justify your opinion why say it at all.) or 2. Their religion says it's wrong, which I find equally hilarious and simultaneously irritating.
But on a lighter note, you have people being more open minded, which sortof counter balances the prejudice. Just about.
Also, I completely agree with your actual point too.
You do realize that those of us who disapprove of homosexuality out of simple hatred can't say that we do without being bandhammer'd?
So, the only people who can explain their vote are those who are indifferent or supportive. This poll shoots itself in the foot.
