No comment. If I did decide to comment, well...lets just not go there. But you did decide to comment. If you really weren't going to comment, you wouldn't have posted at all in this thread. Agent, I don't know how to answer your question "When do humans grow up?" because, well, people find a lot of juvenile things funny, even through adulthood. Just watch anything made by the South Park guys or the Cohen brothers. It's full of genital and bathroom humor, the lowest form of comedy. Yet those movies do very well in theaters. Playing off of other people's homophobia falls right along those other forms of humor, and you'll probably experience it your whole life, whether you're straight, gay, or bisexual. |

Ok, well, I am just gonna say people in general are stupid...and I second what abrannan says. You will catch crap all your life no matter what sexual orientation you are. My biggest pet peeve is stupid people, and I could go on all day about this topic. That is why I tried...well...sorry about that...I should just stop now before I get too deep into things.

MAybe i should have just said people not thinking before talking IN PUBLIC instead, even though it spawned from the jokes.
If you were sitting in a crowded restaurant, around medium level volume, you don't want your peers blurting out 'soandso wants to play with you'.

Yeah but there will ALWAYS be people like that, trying to stick out and get attention by saying the most random and stupid things.
And at the same time (im know im gonna get sh!t for this), I do not like people who prefer the same sex in a relationship...is that politically correct? ;D...But I am not against having a person of that sexual orientation as a friend, only a few rules. I do not want to see it, hear about it, or talk about it, PERIOD. This goes with girls too.

The only advice I can give to you is to a) ignore it or b) joke it off. One of my best friends is gay, and know what he does when he hears a derragatory comment? He hits on the commentor. It shuts them up pretty quick  Another thing I want you to consider is that people tend to understand being gay more than they do bisexualitily. And when people don't understand something, some try and learn more but most just attack it. You have to understand too (and don't get offensive  that most people aren't comfortable with the topic of orgis or threesomes in public, unless you'e very, very comfortable with your peers. I don't know how open you are about that, but understand it does make some people uncomfortable. As for the 'jokes', just try and let them slide. If you're comfortable with who you are, then don't give a damn with what everyone else thinks. Or even try telling your friends, "You know what, please just lay off." It does hurt, we all go through it (being hectered in public, I mean) but life will go on... don't let it get under your skin  |

I hit on my guy friends all the time. We both know eachother isnt gay, but we just have fun. It is never offensive towards anyone except us. So its all in good fun.
PS: I have been hit on gay guys before, many times.

You're entitled to your own opinions, havix . . . whether or not we agree with them. However, this part of the board is specifically for support, and I personally try and follow what my moms told me in this section . . . if you don't have anything nice to say, keep it to yo'dam self. I think psisar hit it on the head . . . people tend to make fun of or attack things they aren't comfortable with. It's a typical (but, sadly, hurtful) way of coping with something beyond that person's experience at that point in time. Some people do it for a laugh, because it's an easy way to make peers more open to them (a common thing to laugh at!) . . . others try and make a joke out of it because they may not be comfortable with their own sexuality. The best thing for you to do, in my opinion, is to seek out friends (not instead of your current friends, but in addition to) that may be going through something similar to your own experience, and form a kind of support group with them. Sometimes just having someone around who is going through a similar experience that you can talk to is the most helpful thing. Asking your current friends to grow up faster than they are ready to isn't going to work . . . everyone needs to grow and develop at their own pace. (For some, that means a *really* long time.) That doesn't mean you can't let them know that it bothers you when they do it, though. Some people never lose their discomfort with unfamiliar things, and you deserve people around you who are going to support who you are. Don't give your current friends the boot . . . just look for people as new friends who understand what you're going through. UJKitten |
