Author Topic: Are you "out" at work? -> OT Weight Loss Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-23-2003 12:18 AM                     Christopher, I carefully chose my words in my previous post. Finding a word that correctly describes a person's needs or wants is very difficult. I realize the word "choice" can have many different meanings, but my intentions were sincere. It had nothing to due with ignorance or homophobia, and I am suprised that you would feel my words could be interpereted as anything other than that of support and open-ness.  |  IP: Logged Kevin Baglow Expert Film Handler Posts: 135 From: Yeppoon Qld, Australia Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-23-2003 02:17 AM                        The whole homophobic thing is in seemingly inbedded in all cultures from way back. Obviously its simply there to perpetuate the race. Were still in the age "between technology and no technology" where the masses believe anything their told -without question.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-23-2003 03:17 AM                  Tristan, I think most all people would find your words supportive of the gay and bi community. The only "choice" that is made is whether to be "out" to the world and not deny who one is. There certainly is NO choice as to who one is inside. There is NO such thing as a choice of "preference". The many lame arguments that it is a choice is very easily dispelled by the simple fact that no one would "choose" a "lifestyle" that is constantly being attacked morally, emotionally, religiously, and yes, even physically. It is really a shame that there are sooo many that are more concerned as to what other consenting adults do, than trying to improve and better themselves. They are not only naive, but losers in life and will eventually get their just rewards at judgment time. It is too bad that there are stereotypes that seem to do more damage than help things. There are many "closet" gay and bi people who no one would suspect as being "not straight". By the same token, there are many "effeminate" appearing men that are straight and happily married, etc. Unfortunately, the LOSERS still pick on, harass, beat up, kill them too cuz they appear gay. Those that think being gay or bi or straight is a lifestyle choice are totally on another planet. There is no more chance of "changing" a gay person to a straight person as there is in changing a straight person to a gay person. One is born that way and not conditioned or "recruited"... either gay or straight. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Matthew Nock Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 04-23-2003 08:58 AM                     uh oh - I sense boring debate coming on here. someone message me when this thread returns to somethime more entertaining like helping me to make sure my gaydar wasnt on the blink *goes back to counting how many correct "blips" I got*  |  IP: Logged William Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 117 From: Cardigan, Wales, UK Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-23-2003 12:58 PM                        Bored now Blip Blip Blip Im going to go screaming into the foyer now.

The topic started to get off track with Ms. Babe's post way back on page one. Like most topics here, they all meander in and out and off and on "topic". And...I'm not particularly interested if anyone's Gaydar is working, and/or their foyer...or notifying anyone when something is posted that they want to know about. Enter at your own risk. (How'd I do, Rach?) >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-23-2003 08:07 PM                     Ms. Babe??? WHOA PHIL!

I've never been in the habit of broadcasting it (until now), but if someone asked me i'd tell them. I don't believe anybody at my current cinema is aware, but i think thats more to do with being single for what seems like an eternity  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"
