What are your prejudices? (Yes, you do have them.)

and most Mormons are lazy.

Where do you get that from? I have never heard of this stereotype.

Most the Mormons I know (I actually know a lot for some reason) are the hardest working people I have ever met.

It's not much of a stereotype, it's just every Mormon I have ever worked with was completely willing to just sit back and let me do there job for them. Then they talk about how good they are at there job.

Well it sounds like we're working with pretty small sample-sizes if you ask me XD

I wouldn't say that I live in Idaho, every forth person is a Mormon.

I'll admit I have mixed feelings about gay men. I tend to see them the way many people see bronies: getting all up in your face about it because they crave validation. I'm sure there are plenty of gay men that are not so flamingly needy, who just go about their business without the need to draw attention to themselves.
Lesbians (and women in general) seem much more at peace with their sexuality.

I just wanted to butt in here and give my 2 cents.

I don't think lesbians seem "much more at peace" with their sexuality. I mean, I admit that I haven't actually met many lesbians, but perhaps it's the fact that they are generally ignored, compared to gay men, outside of "hurr durr lesbians are hot"? And that masculinity isn't as, for lack of a better word, obvious than femininity? As in, a tomboy or a girl that doesn't grab your attention with her sexiness (forgive me if I'm using the wrong terms) won't be vilified as much as an effeminate guy who insecure guys will serve away from, for fear of "teh buttsecks".

As for just women in general...no. Just no. Considering that, on average, they're practically forced by society to spend much more time on their appearance than men...that doesn't sound like security in their sexuality.

When someone says they haven't seen Star Wars, they lose some respect points from me. Oddly enough, I don't get that reaction when dealing with people who didn't like it, just people who haven't seen it.

I haven't seen Star Wars. Shoot me.

I just haven't gotten round to it. But my best friend hasn't watched any of the Back to the Future trilogy, and yet he's been pestering me to watch The Waterboy, a film that I hadn't heard of before he told me, nor is it one that I particularly care to see.

Okay then:


The Waterboy is an okay comedy; I have no idea why your friend puts it in such a god-status though.

Interesting points, but I stand by what I said. As you pointed out, men tend to make a bigger deal about their masculine sexuality than women (not just their physical appearance, but their gender role). The effeminate man sticks out because our society judges it more, not because it's inherently noticeable, and there are gay men who are not effeminate. A tomboy can still be perceived as "feminine," and not all lesbians are tomboys. Men are much more likely to refer to something as "gay" in the pejorative sense, and nobody ever says "That's so lesbian."
Women can wear jeans, but men can't wear skirts for the same reason that lesbians are seen as okay, but gay men are not: because masculine sexuality is perceived as being a bigger issue in our society. Otherwise, seeing a woman in a pair of Levis would still be just as scandalous as seeing a man in lipstick and stiletto heels.

Okay then:

Jesus Christ. I watched that movie as a kid, but watching that scene now felt horrible. It was like when you were a kid and turned on a horror flick by accident.
