lol,
Mine is that if a person drops a glass object and it doesn't break, the person is supposedly a Virgin.

:D haha

V-Squad members represent!

I know this doesn't exaclty have any relevance in the LGBT section but... I couldn't resist ;)
Anyways what's your favorite?

I know 'Seniors' would be a sadder place without her.
What do you think?

P.S. Thanks for all your lovely answers regarding Sylvia's question about cheering me up

Gays being given the right to marry, which would legally indicate the federal government supports all its citizens?

The APA revelation that homosexuality is not a disease but is a natural condition? (Already occurred but news travels slowly.)

The fact that animals in the wild (over 1,500 species so far discovered) exhibit "gay" behavior (have sex with their own gender!) (This phenomenon arguing in favor that homosexuality is a "natural state" as opposed to a "chosen state of evil or deviance"?)

Violence against gays, "gay motivated hate crimes"?

The fact that Jesus never spoke a single word in his life against homosexuality, nor did God in his direct communication (for those who believe in Old Testament) with the Ten Commandments?

Something not listed here? Please share what you feel would help to sway those filled with hate to a more loving and accepting posture.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

AKA Drive in theatre. We used to put a few people in the trunk and "sneak" them in. Do you remember checking to see who's windows were fogged over? Hot and steamy stuff going on inside the car? Do you remember the film breaking and everyone honking their horns? That silly "snack bar" cartoon they always ran? Then the long line up leaving?

Have you encountered someone in an official capacity who has been all nice/friendly, said they would help you get a disability pension, housing, then have them turn around & say "I cant help you." They drop you flat on your face AFTER you got your hopes up? This is so cruel.

IMO false hope is worse than no hope. You leave thanking God, feeling SO relieved someone is finally going to help you, then they just slam you back down again.

Not only have they gotten your hopes up, you have stopped pursuing other avenues believing you have found THE ONE person who is finally going to help you?

I want someone to give me the straight goods when I ask a question or for assistance, I dont want to be given the easy answer (for them).

I waste my energy filling out paperwork for them getting Drs letters, running around only to find out they knew they couldnt help all along. I dont care if they had "good intentions", I want the truth to start with. Has this happened to you?

how increasingly racist the "General-Cultures & Groups" section has become? It seems wrong to suggest a separate Q & A area for African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and so forth but it seems to be the only solution I can think of. Any ideas?

Opinions please. :)

Have any of you encountered someone in an official capacity who has been all nice & friendly, said they were going to help you get a disability pension, & housing, then have them turn around & say "I cant help you after all" & they drop you flat AFTER you got your hopes up? This is so cruel.

IMO false hope is worse than no hope. You leave thanking God, feeling SO relieved someone is finally going to help you, then they just slam you back on your face again.

Not only have they gotten your hopes up, you have stopped pursuing other avenues believing you have found THE ONE person who is finally going to help you? "We will make sure you dont end up homeless and living on the street -"

Then nothing, just something really stupid like "have you applied for Social Assistance?" AFTER you have told them you were turned down for Assistance twice & told to sell you car, worth $500

I am so PO'd, (Canada) & I am fed up with this kind of crap from the MP's & MLA's office

Why is it that when someone of a different ethnic background is able to speak in clear consice, manner people say that the individual is speaking like a white person. The last time I check speaking properly was not restricted to only white people. I have noticed that both black and white people say this: "You speak like a white person"

Well I gues my question why do we associate the use of proper language with being white?

i mean you hear people complaining that if "two people that love each other, they should be able to get married" am i right? but the same people who say that, are disgusted with the thought would cousins, sibling wanting to marry each other. Or a 10-yr-old girl wanting to be a 20-yr-old man, BUT the society doesnt approve. What happened to the motto? If gays/lezzies should be able to marry shouldnt anyone and everyone? why not let humans and animals marry. So why shouldnt the government open the barrier completely?!?

and another thing..

if a white man wants to become a black man, where are the pills for him to make that transaction? He's a black man trapped in a white man's body, isnt he? Its sad that he was born the wrong way, isnt it? Or is it sad that he is ashamed of his skin color? dont you think that in the year of 2050 you will see freaks walkin around? A kid getting surgery trying to look like a 40 yr old man. It's sad isnt it? But at the rate we're going its bound 2 happen.

who knows that most black people aren't waiting for a goverment hand-out? Am I the only white person that does not think that most black people blame "whitey" for their problems? Am I the only white person that really understands the history, cause & effect, and reality of Affirmative Action, and realizes that it really hasn't affected other white people in any significant way? Am I the only white person that looks at the individual and not the group? Am I the only white person who sees equal amounts of "bad apples" among whites as blacks? Am I the only black person who understands that yes, slavery was abolished, but oppression of blacks still continues on more systemic level rather than a personal, one-on-one level? Am I the only white person who can name 40 successful black people who are NOT celebrities?
Is any other white person going to speak up and stop assuming negative things about black people?

I ask because I want to know based on how he is and how he reacts to me if he's interested in me or not. I can never tell who's gay or not. I am really bad at it. If this offends people, I will stop asking. But, I like the advice I get and it helps me form a conclusion as to how to respond, or not respond to this person.

I wanted to hear what some people thought on the subject of marijuana. I think that it isn't a bad thing to do, if its done in moderation (kind of like drinking)....I don't think any of these things should be done if you're going to be driving, or if you're pregnant or something like that, basically if you're responsible when you do it. I feel like a lot of people are against it simply b/c it's illegal and the law/government makes it seem worse than it really is. I heard that it is illegal simply b/c hemp is made from the same plant, and hemp was a rival to cotton, which the US was the major distributor of...and basically to keep down the competition they didn't want to legalize it. Let me know your thoughts.

I see these questions ALL the time....really when it comes down to it....what business is it of yours? And who really cares?

I know that people think that if there are more of us that are visable, the better it can make the cause of acceptance. But it can also damage what those persons have worked their lives for.

And furthermore, do str8 people actually think that we ''gays'' know each other? That is a twist on an old racist stereotype.....

Tell me what you think?
