jordan90 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 [quote name='Lunar Origin' timestamp='1320464527' post='5618310'] No, really. Just because you found Streissand on your 'pod doesn't mean you caught the 'gay'. It just makes you... unlucky, like seeing a black cat.

evilhorus Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Military school seems like a good plan. What could straighten a man out more than hard sweaty work with many muscular men in the vicinity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John A. Zoidberg Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 [quote name='Eva-Chan' timestamp='1320452621' post='5617845'] Wow as if I didn't see this coming. Another offended person. Seriously? Why must you complain at ones opinion? You know that liking Barbera Streisand does not make one gay so why call out a man with a differing opinion? Why can't you just ignore him. He has a right to an opinion on gay people and if you don't like it, leave. [/quote] Well, you see, people tend to get offended when their sexuality and/or the sexuality of their loved ones. It's not a differing opinion, it's a moronic homophobic statement. Music CAN'T make someone homosexual. Art CAN'T make someone homosexual. The only thing that can make someone homosexual is homosexuality. Saying something one enjoys makes them gay (which, as you know, means either happy or homosexual), is basically the same thing as saying someone's manly because they watch football. Hell, homosexuals watch football! Your interests, musical taste, and hobbies don't define your personality or sexuality. Who you are defines those things. Now stop being a closed-minded homophobic a******. I'm an LGBT supporter, I'm for rights of all humans (unless, of course, that right directly offends or injures another), and you can go f*** yourself.

Tentacruel Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I can't believe this thread was taken this seriously. I think it was more of a random stab at Barbara Streisand than a homophobic rant. Jeez. [quote name='John A.

[b]There is literally no evidence to back this up, and it's a very flimsy and entirely unrelated argument. I didn't 'cuss' to seem like a badass, I 'cussed' because I 'cussed.'

[/quote] Well, let's stay on the topic of homosexuality. Remember that guy that killed himself after a video was released of him with a sexual partner? I doubt the person that released that video did it thinking "Oh! Oh! I bet he'll kill himself!" He most likely went into it thinking, "Oh, it's no big deal, he'll get over it. We'll all laugh about it." Then he killed himself. Honestly, if a joke offends someone, it's still a joke. It's just a joke that offends someone.

Whether or not she is homophobic is absolutely irrelevant to how you should treat her. She can be as she wishes without needing your disgusting vision of social liberty.

It really is because "who cares?," in terms of why her possible homophobia should mean anything. I don't mind any people regardless of sexual orientation. Being against it is like being against people with brown eyes. They can't control it because it is genetic. They can hide it with colored contacts, but they're essentially original.
