Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender - December 2006

The argument has been put forward that, by responding to homophobic posts, we are, in effect, "troll accomplices" because it encourages the homophobes out there to continue to ask offensive "questions" at our expense.

Clearly, the homophobes do this because they are sexually insecure and need to feel better about themselves. But I started thinking about this as a symbiotic kind of exchange, and wondered, what if we get something out of it, too?

What if it's helpful to have a forum in which to respond to our antagonists directly? To challenge them? Dare I say, to have some FUN with them?

I'll be the first to admit that I get a petty sliver of satisfaction from sharpening my proverbial claws on the moronic rant of some dimwitted Bible-thumping hillbilly jacktard. Yes, I confess, I do enjoy telling the evangelical teeny-bopping Jesus freaks where to shove it. (The pithier, the better.) I only wish they didn't make it so damn easy to make them look so damn stupid.

Thoughts?

I'm not religious and not trying to stop for any religious reason at all.
I do feel like it screws me up spiritually though.
ok well it's been a part of my life since I was very young. It's part of the reason my girlfriend left me a year ago.
I made a commitment to live a more meaningful life and stop looking at it, because I do feel a lot of the girls are being exploited and/or just have totally screwed up lives and I'm condoning the sad situation by induldging.
Here's the thing, I'm sometimes torn. Like right now... I was just about to indulge and I stop myself to write this.
At times like this I tell myself- well maybe it does have a place sometimes. I'm really lonely, my life is really tough, and it does give me a release and an escape. Any insight is appreciated!

I have read some answers to different questions, that really amaze me, just how ignorant and uneducated that some people are.

I come to Yahoo Answers. My 16-year-old daughter comes to Yahoo Answers.

It offends me when people show their bare buttocks or appear almost totally naked here. I don't like it. My 16-year-old daughter doesn't like it.

And before you say, the human body is a beautiful thing; I agree. It's the lack of respect that gets to me. Why am I being forced to see you naked in order to use this website? If you want people to see you naked, you could put up a website address where they can go, so why must I have to look at it if I don't want to? It's not like a have a choice; you can't see what is in a picture until you look at it.

I'm asking on behalf of myself, my daughter, and many others, I'm sure. Please respect us, and keep your clothes on in your pictures.

Please and thank you?

If women want men to stop staring at their boobs, shouldn't they stop leaving them partially uncovered?

I live in the city and I am a very attractive young white gay guy who cannot find others like me in this city! Is there a secret society that I need to tap into? All I get is those out of town midwestern hot boys holding their girlfriends hands downtown giving me the lustful look, but I can't just go up to them with their babes attached to them, even though it would make my life if it ever happened.

they started placing more attention on their idenity as a person instead of defining themselves in terms of their sexuality? It seems to me this is the problem that many straight people have with homosexuals; it's not so much the homosexuality itself that offends them, but the insistance by homosexuals that they define themselves by their sexuality.

If this is out of line, I'm sorry. It certainly isn't meant to be.

I am 23 years old and it really makes me mad when my Dad says, "are you gay?" all the time!. I have had girlfriends on and off and I have had one for the past five months. I am not feminine, I love football beer, girls, etc. No one in my life has ever accused me of being gay but him. I am not against gay people, but I just am not gay myself. One example of when he asked if I was gay was when I invited a guy friend to come hang out when I was with my girlfriend, or just today I talked about how I didn't think a certain place was good for a family vacation because it doesn't have a village with a night life. Or when I trim up my chest hair with a beard trimmer. He just seems so immature to me and childish to accuse me of being gay for stupid things. I told him that he is immature and might be gay himself since he is so concerned about it. I really just want to punch him in his face next time. What should I do?

Has their ever been a society in which GLBT people were treated as equals to Heterosexuals. I heard that the Romans and Greeks did. But I do not know how accurate that is...
