That's one thing and I agree with that. What I don't like is that shoving the opinion to everyone's throtes that a tiny fraction of all the flavors is and should be very important to all the people and they should like it, if they don't they are somehow bad people.

The whole picture the gays are painting is that if you don't like that you automaticly must feel doing something wrong. It's the same as antisemitism and jews it's fucking ridiculous how much power such a small group have and how they can influence big media and news spread over incidents.

I'm all for equal treatment, but don't act special if you want equal treatment.
:tup:

I'm wandering around Copenhagen listening to music and thinking. A co-worker from my last job posted "Goodbye Cruel World" from Pink Floyd on facebook last night. I thought it was weird and in my head, I joked that he might kill himself.
He actually killed himself. For the first time in my life, I cried. I just started shaking and wrote to a guy from my old work. He didn't know about and rushed to the boss, who, at that moment, got a phonecall from the mom. He was found hung near a train station.
my condolences, friend, hang in there

That's like being the fastest runner at the Special Olympics.

But seriously, Bush is a moron and Obama a sell out. Don't really see why you would want to back either.
I don't want to back either.

I should run for Public Office.

In Russia and much of Eastern Europe , the gay thing is so suppressed I can almost understand the overreaction. It's like living in a strict religious family and discovering alcohol at a college party for the first time.

But in a place like SF where gay acceptance is abundant, there's little need - nor excitement - about making a big deal about it.
Same thing in Mexico and a lot of Latin America. Super macho culture where dudes dress in skinny jeans and fish net shirts. That said, there's a super amount of under the table dealings, especially in the more rural areas. Dudes you just know are gay but have families and have to play the DL game. We call them Campo Queens.

It's not difficult. You just need a catch phrase and an issue that doesn't really matter, but can get people fired up if you yell about it long enough.
Well, I do that already on here.

And people here are from all over, young and in need of guidance and direction.

Activism is weird. There are sub-groups that get off on feeling entitled based on perceived oppressions. They're your basic sh*t-disturbers. Those are people who will flip-flop policy on a dime just to maintain that status quo. For example, when I was a grad student at Berkeley, I knew people who were both radical feminists and born-again Christians at different times in their lives. They seek out the thrill of playing a role where they get to be the annoying ones.

Secretly, the moderate activists need them a little. It's a bit of good cop/bad cop: like when Martin Luther King told Malcolm X that he helped by making MLK seem more mainstream. But while SF had a lot more over-the-top activists, say, 30 years ago, today they are fairly well integrated in the mainstream and you don't have people prancing around for gay rights and respect anymore. In fact, if they did, most of the people here would be like, "What planet are you from? You're speaking the wrong audience."

And because that sort of acceptance and indifference breeds normalcy and boredom, being gay in this town is a pretty boring thing now. Sure, there's the gay pride parade and a few who have to strut feathers when they come out, but they're mostly looked upon as the naive college freshmen of the town by both straights and gays alike.

Osman lives in a country where they're trying to erase gender. I wouldn't listen to him.
:lol2: True, true.

:tup: same with all that feminist crap, that isn't feminism, just heavy flow
What's wild here is what's going on with the radical feminists and the transgenders. As a bystander, it's pretty hilarious to see two overly self-entitled groups duke it out publicly in a contest over who is more oppressed than the other. Comedy, really.

Damn. That sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Yet another reason why you just can't joke about suicide... you never know when people are in their worst moments ready to make irreversible decisions.

Campo Queens. :lol: Good.

Yeah, there's something about Latin American and Southern European culture too. Especially for how macho it postures and yet how dubiously transgender they doll up at the same time. Last year in Napoli my wife and I played a game of, "Gay or just Neapolitan?" It's a lot harder than you think.
