Why do Homosexuals insist on special preferences and laws, even acceptance because of sexual appetites?

Question

1-There are already exisitng laws that cover all manner of criminality perpetrated against U.S. citizens why tailor and re-legislate for a group who prefer same sex relations if not to "validate" a certain sexual preference as "acceptable"?

2 - Why are homosexual life-styles and sexual practices presented in many US Public school curriculums as normal.

3- Why is the former "Gay Pride Day" Parade now being billed as the "Pride Day" Parade.

What consenting homosexual adults do behind closed doors in the privacy of their bedrooms is just that..why must it be flaunted down Main Street USA in the most garish, vulgar displays imaginable particularly durting the infamous "Gay Days" at Disneyworld in Orlando... for five year olds to witness.

4 - Why can't a homosexual like everyone else strive to be accepted by the content of his or her character and his or her achievments or lack thereof, instead of what sex he or she prefers to have intecourse with?

It is the height of ignorance not to recognize that the Black Civil Rights movement had anything but everything to do with EQUAL RIGHTS for all including homosexuals. Therefore waht is left to want "more than equal" because of sexual preference?

The Civil Rights battles fought and won made us all winners in the end. Homosexuals have the Right in many States of the Union to engage in their lifestyle...

Assault and battery 'is' Assault and battery why would an assaulted "Homosexual" be more assuated or less by re-legislating a 'hate crime' factor into it...if not to curry favor to a Gay Lobby...

The vast majority of the public 'straight' is quite disgusted with having the homosexuals obssesive need to declare and flaunt and put their homosexuality as the absolute center of their life...before all to see it has to be declared it seems it's their all in all ..thats the impression...sex is their center!

Justifications and biased analysis based using "wrong" hetrosexual behavior to legitamize inapproriate homosexual behavior in public is not a valid defence, i.e. the Crusaders did this in Medieval times so Muslims respond in like and do that..using wrong behavior to justify more wrong behavior is a baseless form of apologetics.

This is all about "sodomy" and once again, be as homosexual as one likes but why the need to live and flaunt one's sexuality 24-7 is beyond me. From the in your face limp-wristed "Queer Eye" types to the swishing exagerated displays of sexuality in parades no less...is not the way mainstream America will ever come to a truly tolerant stance on this lifestyle..because of this constant barrage of ligitimization of sodomy as viable and acceptable 86% of America still harbors disgust and revulsion so why not live as Gay but why insist on rubbing everyones nose in ones bedroom preferences and to seek "CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENTS" to vaidate the same is crazy!

Answer 1

I am gay, but I cannot relate and do not want to relate to the school of thought that thinks it appropriate to parade and flaunt the worst aspects of homosexuality. I agree that those pride marches throughout the world are vulgar and unedifying and in fact most of the gay scence is similarly oriented to sex. It is perhaps unfortunate that the very thing that is meant to be advocating tolerance and respect for the gay community is actually alienating it (from people like yourself). I think the old pride marches (not that I was alive) of the 60's and 70's were far more politically motivated and necessary to bring us to where we are today - where on the whole homosexuality is accepted and not discriminated against, but that now, such displays are counterproductive. If I had my way, I would like to see a gay pride march that somehow portrayed the best aspects of gay men (I don't know any gay women) which is kindness, sensitivity, creativity, generosity and a positive attitude to life.

Answer 2

I think your first question is about hate crimes in general. So, most crimes are perpetrated against one individual for whatever reason. The punishment of the law is based on that one individual, and is intended to protect that one individual. When someone attacks someone else because of (I stress the following word) PERCIEVED sexual orientation (that's right; straight folks benefit from hate crimes legislation too), they're attacking that individual but also threatening an entire community, and for that matter anyone who could possibly be mistaken for being involved in that community. Threats are already illegal, so it's not a big leap for there to be some extra charges filed.

2) Because they are. If you don't think so, talk to your children about it, but they need to be able to deal with the fact that some of their peers may be gay, and that that doesn't give them the right to disrupt education or persecute those students. Likewise for situations in which they attend school with a child of gay parents. Yes, you have a right to your own opinion, and to bring your child up how you see fit, but that's left up to YOU to do.

3) There's semantic issues with the word "gay" in that it represenst a small portion of the community that gathers at pride events. WHile I do think it should have some adjective before it, "queer" is still offensive to some, and "GLBT" just doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.

WHat consenting heterosexual adults do behind closed doors in the privacy of their bedrooms is just that...why must it be flaunted down Every Street USA in the most garish, vulgar displays imaginable?
The community most guilty of "flaunting" is the straight community. I've never been to disney, especially not gay days, but I've heard from people who have been that it's mostly tasteful. And if it's not, then it's anyways not illegal for public display. Maybe you think the current laws regarding what's considered nudity need adjusting? THen maybe that should be your gripe.

4)Gay people do indeed strive to be accepted by the content of their character / ahievements; everyone else, however makes an issue of who we date. As such, we can either put in a LOT of work towards a friendship / professional relationship to have to risk it all later when it finally comes up (when straight people talk about husbands and wives, or even boyfriends etc., it's normal conversation. When we do, it's "flaunting"); OR we can get it over with relatively early on so that we don't waste time and emotional energy on someone who's going to flip out over nothing.

Answer 3

~Homosexuals do not insist on "special" preferences or laws.

1) It's not about validating sexual preference. It's about validating a bond of love and commitment.

2) The gay lifestyle IS a normal function of society. Gays and Lesbians are everywhere in the world. To hide this from schools would be anti-education.

3) I didn't know "gay pride day" was changed to "pride day".
What's the problem. I'd think you'd like that....gets rid of the scary word....GAY...

~What's wrong with a 5-year old seeing a gay parade? Will these 5 year-olds immediately catch the gay gene and become gay themselves? Don't you think their parents knew it was Gay Pride Day when they took the kid to Disneyworld? And, what was so VULGAR and GARISH about the parade down Main Street USA? Was there sex going on? NO. Was there men in women's clothes...you bet. If that's what you consider vulgar and garish, you're a real whimp.

4) Gays and Lesbians do strive to be accepted by the content of their character. The problem is as soon as the word is out that they're gay, YOU have to chime in with your blather and make them feel hated.

So...basically what you're complaining about is what you are causing yourself.

...and remember....it is a proven fact that anyone who is a homophobe has hidden homosexual tendencies that they can't deal with....so it comes out as anger. It's really sexual frustration.

Answer 4

I think what offended me the most about this series of questions is that this puts many gays/lesbians in a catagory where we do not belong. I live a very quiet and very peaceful life with my partner. We are not political screaming meanies nor do we care to walk down Main Street flaunting our sexuality. While yes, I do long to see the day when my partner and I can have some of the simple rights that heterosexual couples have, I do not feel the need to stand in front of a television and scream to the world that I am gay! I also resent the implication that most or all gays are screaming SEX publically. I find it rather humerous actually. I wish that you could know me and my partner as humans and see what a loving and caring couple we are and see the feelings that we have for one another. There are some things in this life that go beyond the shallowness of JUST SEX.

Answer 5

They arn't after special treatment, they want normal treatment. Beocuse they are mistreated, there desire for eaqle rights looks like special treatment. They want the law becouse they want the same right. If both parites make a choice, why concider inaproate in private life, we make it public becouse you make your hatered public.

About "Pride Day", why have any holidays then. Maybe they want to have it know as Pride in who you are, not just Gay Pride.

About gay day at public places, well, they let you know they will be there. But every group shows stuff ehich is concidered inapproate to someone, why do Goths get to wear there cloths, How about peopel who wear band shirts, or shirts from Spencers and Got Topics.

Homosexuals desier to be reconized as eaqle humans, but all others focus on is the sexual orintation. If a person says there gay, thats all you look at from that point on, you ignore the rest, so they can't use it to define there life.

Simply put, its the next Civil Rights movement. We had this with immigrents, Blacks, and other minorites, now its the Homosexuals turn at the podium.

Answer 6

This isn't a question, it is a rant.

You misunderstand gay rights.

You misunderstand Gay days. For every person behaving badly there are THOUSANDS of other gay people behaving better than all the straight people at nascar/baseball/basketball/football events. Judging any group of people by ONLY the most outlandish/poorly behaved within that group is dishonest and wrong. I'm certain that straight people would rather not be judged by the "white trash" one sees on the tv show COPS.

Gay people SHOULD be accepted by the content of his/her character. They should not start out behind simply because of their sexual orientation.

You assume, incorrectly, that being gay is about who people have intercourse with. Being gay is about who we love, decide to make a life with, and often find contentment and happiness with. Just like with straight people, the sex is just part of it.

You should probably spend less time watching/listening to Bill Oriely and Rush Limbaugh. You cannot see reality past all the rhetoric you are spouting from their talking points.

Asking for Equality isn't asking for special laws or special rights.
As for hate crime bills including sexual orientation, those same laws would protect a straight person from attack based on sexual orientation, too. Wouldn't you want a person prosecuted any way they CAN be prosecuted when they commit a crime because of hatred for ANY reason? I'm all for making new ways to prosecute criminals...

Are you FOR crimes?

Answer 7

Gays / Lesbian are not demanding anything based upon sexual appetite. Sexual appetite is whole other matter and exist in great variety even among Gays / Lesbians.

Homosexuality is normal. Majority? No. Normal? Yes!

Straight Pride is flaunted 365-6 days a year. Open your eyes.

Gays / Lesbians who flaunt are NOT ALL the Gays / Lesbians there are. The way you present this, all heteros must be like straight porn stars.

Content of character IS what Gays and Lesbians want to be judged for, NOT their sexuality.

Get your facts correct.

Answer 8

First of all you are not speaking of all Gays.

I do attend pride events, but I also am accepted by the content of my character and my achievements in life.

So when asking this questions above you should of started out as why does some......

And for the record you asked about Pride at Disney in Orlando.

1st of all the founder of Disney was indeed himself a homosexual and it was HIM who decided that there would be a celebration of PRIDE be held Disney every year.

As most heterosexual's who complain about that, your so unaware that when you go to Disney it was created by a homosexual.

Do you really think that a heterosexual would of been so talented to create such a artistic, captivating theme park?

Let's get real!

Answer 9

The questions here realy amaze me.

The straight community wants abortion...at lest the gay community is not out there killing the unborn.

Why do engaged straight couple show thier affection and love publicly?

Why does the straight community automaticly presume all clergy are pedifiles?

The straight community has just as many faults as the gay community does...and everytime they voice thier dis-satifaction, the gay community re-acts...its a vicious circle.

Answer 10

What a load of homophobic BS. There are so many strawman arguments in this question I can't even begin to answer them all.

The idea that "everyone else strives to "accepted by the content of his or her character" means is laughable.

This whole thing is the sign of a weak hateful mind using Yahoo! answers to spread more bile.
