And what if he did have a deep seeded phobia? Is going off the deep end going to help him rid himself of it?
I could see him doing this just for the laughs, honestly. I could see myself doing this (with more class, mind) just to prove a point, actually. I could see Russia from my backyard, but I'm not Sarah Palin.
Quote:Bottom line is we've told this jackass time after time that sexuality is a range not an absolute, and on top of that it wouldn't matter if I was gay, the music tastes of anyone does not define their sexuality.
The average person doesn't live in spectrums, they live in absolutes and exceptions Well, that's news to me: here I thought gay and lesbian music was best-received by their respective groups. Don't think that ABBA falls into it, but you totally ignored my very lengthy post describing everything that ABBA is, so what do I know?
Quote:I have to repeat myself because there ARE far too many stereotypes about lots of people, even on other issues outside sex.
Stereotypes are fun, I don't think there's any reason to repeat the stereotype more than once (which is what you've done with the apparent 'over-reacting gay man' bit, however unintentional). You're not being part of the solution to behave stereotypically... really, if you want to end stereotypes: best method is to not talk about them
Quote:"Black people are on welfare and voted for Obama because he is a commie".
It's true, there are black people on welfare, and probably a few of them voted for Obama because of 'being a commie'. Plenty more also voted for him because he's black, but hey... there are probably people out there who did just that.
Quote:"Rednecks are all racists"
Sure looks like it, pretty sure that to be a redneck you gotta have racism running deep within. By definition, yo. I mean, the dictionary goes out of its way to say that it's a white-person... sounds racially segregatory right off the bat.
Quote:"All Muslims are terrorists"
They sure are doing a good job of convincing us, the majority being the exception, of course.
Quote:Same shit different topic. It is spreading a stereotype, why should he get away with trying to silence me. HE is making sexuality the issue and quite falsely attaching it to something that is completely irrelevant.
I spread the stereotype of the 'eccentric philosopher tranny', should I stop being myself just because I match one random stereotype? He's not making sexuality an issue: he's making you the issue, as he's doing this for *humor*... stop taking him so seriously, and he wouldn't maintain the mantra for so long.
Quote:I doubt he even knows that Freddy Mercury was bi. So if he has Queen on his playlist which every "straight guy" did when I grew up, then he must be bisexual too because he listened to queen.
I don't know who that is, but I like a few tracks from queen. He probably is bisexual, as I find most of us are at least marginally so. What does it matter?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
