Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion. For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. | ||

What's up with all this choice vs born gay argument? I recently heard Herman Cain bring it up and what frightens me is that gay supporters and even gay people themselves support that argument, albeit on a different sides? First of all how would it suddenly limit your constitutional rights if it's your choice to consensually fuck another man? And second of all what merit is that to measure the legitimacy of something? Would it be okay to murder people if you're born a murder? Or fuck kids because you were born in pedophile? I'm not equating these things to homosexuality, don't get me wrong, but I just don't think it's a good measure to judge by in any way shape or form. I also like to say, for what it's worth that i am a deeply religious man who supports gay rights. For one you can't strive to create a multicultural country and promise separation of church and state and then pick and choose when you're willing to apply that rule. And secondly a lot of religious people seem to skip on reading the bible. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged". Sort of important bit if you ask me. Just wanted to get it out there that not all christians are mad:D And another thing, is quiet lighthearted, i was just wondering why is that Britney Spears had become a gay icon? I understand TL is probably not the type of crowd Britney Spears caters too, but maybe someone can give me some insight. | ||

I'm not equating these things to homosexuality, don't get me wrong, but I just don't think it's a good measure to judge by in any way shape or form. There isn't an argument. There is a logical side, and a whole bunch of people who let their personal beliefs and arguments from ignorance blind them into thinking it is a choice. Argument implies engaged, lively and productive discourse, of which there is none on this topic. We are born gay (the level of flamboyance may partially be choice, but that is irrelevant). As for what is up with it and why it is important? People want to use that argument to debase the platform that homosexuals are deserving of minority rights protection and basic human rights in general. Pedophilia is also likely a condition that someone is born with, the difference between being gay and being a pedophile is how far the desires of the two groups extend to cause harm to others. Me having consensual sex, engaging in a consensual relationship and getting a consensual marriage with another man harms absolutely no one. If I were to abduct a child, sexually assault him and take a video of the encounter, I would be harming someone. I do not have the right to harm another person, no one does.

Lady Gaga is arguable. | ||

I hope i was clear with what i implied. I meant it as an example to discredit this particular criteria of judgement. It's ludicrous denying someone something because it's a conscious choice. | ||

Gay Icons, in order; 1) Kylie Minogue 2) Lady Gaga 3) Madonna 4) Britney Spears Lady Gaga and Madonna could be tied, though I would still give a slight edge to Gaga. Britney Spears would be a very very very very distant fourth. | ||

I'm pretty sure, for me at least, that there was absolutely no choice on the matter of sexuality, I can say with confidence that I was born gay, and it was physically impossible for me to choose at any given point what side of the proverbial fence I was on. I'm not certain that this is the case with other homosexuals, but I will take a fair guess that it is. | ||

Madonna is a mystic and egocentric bitch and was more of an icon for 50 or so years old women nowadays that actually thought of her as a woman icon in the late 90"s. everything else is marketing propaganda | ||

Sure, technically even people born gay could decide to only sleep with women even if they hated it. But since there is literally 0 reason not to have sex with any consenting adult you want, who gives a fuck? People need to seriously just live and let live. | ||

And by icon, I just mean the gays love their Gaga, not they've done something amazing for gay rights or something. Although I do know a couple of people who have met Gaga in a non-public setting, and apparently she's pretty grounded and friendly. Which is nice. | ||

No one cries at a Gaga concert. Every fag balls his eyes out at Kylie. Though this could also be an age difference. Gaga might be bigger from the teen~22 year range (i don't know many gays in that age range, and it wouldn't shock me). At the 23+ age, most gays/lesbians I talk to are pretty over Gaga. They like her music and all that, but they're pretty indifferent about her and her future. | ||
