I believe other peoples of this forum have noticed the lot of homosexuality themed threads around the forum, yes?
Yes I have
Quote:Well, maybe you can start by acting normal, if you don't do that already.
But other than that, do not expect me to treat you as a normal person.
Sorry.
I do but I decided to make a one off point
Quote:Well, you don't, or you can't?
I don't
Quote:Well, obviously these are things that other homosexuals like to do aswell.
But what is your identity? Do you become suddenly so defensive when someone states that he doesn't like computer games, getting drunk or laying in the sun? Obviously not.
I don't normal, but if you hit the right spot.
Quote:If you want to blend in, then I suggest that you do not sprout out as to create political controversies, yes?
Not just talking about you, I'm talking to homosexuals as a whole. But you obviously do vote for politicians on their stance regarding state policies towards the LGBT community, yes?
Then you do rather stand out with your identity. For those who want to blend in generally sacrifice a portion of their identity, always. You cannot blend in without doing that.
How would I blend in with the American public if I came there and dressed in my traditional clothing all the time?
How well would I blend in with the American public if I professed the same pride and nationalism I profess in this forum, amongst many Americans?
I'm standing out here, without really doing anything other than to write down words.
Firstly I am not America, I am British and I see Turks and Pakistani and Saudi men and women in more traditional garb every day so It make no difference to me. And I try my best to blend in.
Quote:But you do have the same rights, if you do not profess to your homosexual identity as your prime identity. You can get married with a woman, you can join the military, you can do this and that and everything that normal people are legally capable of.
However, with your homosexual identity, you're barred from entering the military, or marrying, although no one tells you that you can't open a business, start a bank account, get a driver's license or own property, yes?
The state treats you differently, because you treat yourself differently from everyone else.
I can be openly gay and be in the British army no questions asked,the only thing is that equal marriage we have almost equal marriage rites, just a few miner details.
Quote:Not that I really do care. And I'm sure that no one else does.
Agreed
Quote:I do not want to blend in with the rest, as I do not have to do that. I am the majority. I am a Turk. There is no way for me to stick out, other than politically, perhaps, but in no other way, am I a thorn in anyone's eyes..
Clearly you not been to the UK, unless you have.
Quote:Guns, weapons and arms are necessary when one's life, honour and country is at stake. Besides, our women wield guns as proficient as our men do.
There is a huge difference between two men shaking hands, and two men holding hands.
I agree with you point about Guns but your missing my point, and in Qutar and the UAE apparently straight men hold hands, but don't quote me on it.
