DO YOU "ACCEPT" PEOPLE COMING OUT? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT LIFE?

[Wonder Girl]

The point of telling everyone is to Let the people around you know about the life you may or may not have been hiding.

I dont think the media pushes this to,make the world accept gayness, but to let people know its okay to be who you are.

 

[MsSouthern]

lol

If you can't come up with an answer for what I'm asking .....just say so

I'm only contributing to your thread Dro

 

[Recaptimus_Prime360]

I swear I read that as if this nigga was yellin. Smh. But I gotta agree with Dro. Being black isn't a choice. Your sexuality on other hand is a choice. You choose to act on that attraction.

Me personally, I have no problems with the brotha coming out. That's his life. I yawn @ it b/c someone being gay doesn't really hold that shock value like it did years ago. It's more accepted in mainstream media nowadays to where folks are like "Ok. And?"

Don't understand why he had to mention he was black tho? Like folks didn't figure that out.

 

[Chase N Bundlez]

Man you niggaz weird. Anytime their is a first of something it's gong to be announced is will be big news. Shit don't bother me. At all. The bigots back in the civil rights days were prolly saying the same shit about niggaz.

I DONT CARE ABOUT HIM BEING 1ST.. THAT AINT WHAT THE THREAD IS ABOUT..

I ASKED DO YOU ACCEPT IT LIKE ITS COOL AND DO YOU SUPPORT IT..

Why u wanna know so bad?

Look Dro, for what its worth, you'll still be a top 10 poster in my eyes, although I prolly wont quote u anymore or give u anymore reactions...word.

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

Me personally ion give a fuck, i got gay/lesbian/bi friends, if you wanna be gay, you do you, If its none of my business and doesn't affect me in a negative way, I don't get involved in what another person does...

So it's whatever

 

[VIBE]

Do you choose to be straight ?

He'll more than likely say yes.

This shits on so many people, so they say, "yes I choose to be straight", rather than, "I don't need to think about it, I am naturally attracted to the opposite sex".

They're basically saying they've given being gay a thought.

NAW, I DIDNT SAY THAT...THANK YOU SIR....

LIKE I SAID, ITS NATURAL TO BE STRAIGHT (UNLESS YOU WERE MOLESTED OR SOME SHYT)

Nope.

Many people can tell you otherwise.

Plus you didn't answer.

Did you choose to be straight?

What grown men do in their spare time doesn't concern me as long as they don't hurt others with whatever they're doing. I've been following NBA for years and I hadn't really heard of this gay n*gga TBH. Looked up his stats when the story broke and they weren't that impressive (no disrespect). It's kinda sad and funny that this n*gga 's biggest moment is him coming out instead of anything basketball related...

I got nothing against that gay lifestyle. I'm wearing Dolce & Gabbana sweatpants as I'm typing. What I don't like is the way these gay activists and the liberal media try to shove that lifestyle down everyone's throat. Not everyone is gonna accept your lifestyle. It has gotten to the point where you can't say anything they don't wanna hear or be called homophobe and face censorship. That's one thing I gotta hand to them. Unlike blacks they know how to pool their money together. Their lobby groups are strong.

I think it's disrespectful to compare their 'struggle' to blacks. You can't hide being black, while you can hide being gay...

I also don't like the fact some of these activists are trying to shift anything their way. Like for instance if the 'holy' scriptures of a religion state that engaging in that lifestyle is a sin or w/e and that religion has been there several centuries, why would you try to change that? Like as a muslim I have the right to state that being a practising homosexual is sinful. Don't shame people into changing their religious beliefsystem so you'll feel better about yourself. It's like they realize time is on their side now and they wanna strike while the iron's hot...

Fuck whether it's a choice or not. I doubt it's the same for all gay people. If a mofo was "attracted to" animals, I'm sure people wouldn't be arguing about whether or not he was "born that way".

Back to the thread topic though, niggas don't need to come out and the media doesn't need to over publicize that shit but they do.

I agree w/ Dro's original post. Collins came out, even though nobody really cares, and a bunch of celebrities showed support - but why did they have to do that? Nobody gives a fuck.

So now if you don't "commend" this mofo on being gay, there's an issue ?

 

[Black Boy King]

Do you choose to be straight ?

ITS NATURAL/NORMAL TO BE STRAIGHT..

THE KEY GOES INTO THE KEY HOLE.. THATS HOW GOD MADE IT....

SHALL WE GO ON?

says who ?

Umm... says nature?

 

[Crude_]

I don't know what the point is to him announcing it.

I dont agree with the lifestyle but truth be told I give no fucks about whether the next man or woman is gay or lesbians.

It isnt effecting my money, health, or love ones so I could care less

Its not my job to put anyone in a jail cell or send anyone to hell so it's really none of my business.

Homosexuals been around since the beginning of time and they will be around at the end of time to.

 

[MARIO_DRO]

I'm not sure why people think being gay is a choice. Just MsSouthern said, nobody chooses to be straight. It's just in your nature. Nobody taught you to be attracted to women. You just are. Same for niggas who are gay. They didn't wake up one day and say 'I'm going to be attracted to men now.'. They just are. Shit seems pretty clear to me.

SO YOU TELLING ME THAT KIDS/TEENS AINT JUST BEING/DOING GAY SHYT CAUSE ITS IN NOW?..

LIKE THAT 1 CHICK THAT GOT THE "I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT SONG".. U THINK THEM LIL GIRLS WASNT DOING THAT SHYT?... OH OK

Don't understand why he had to mention he was black tho? Like folks didn't figure that out.

But you just made a clear distinction, though. You are either born with an attraction to men or to women. No choice in that matter. Whether or not you act on it is a different thing. That's like saying a nigga who is attracted to only men but has sex with women only cause he doesn't want to be ridiculed isn't gay. That nigga is still gay as shit. Just hasn't acted on it.

I don't agree with that. The media is most definitely trying to make the world accept gayness. If it was just a matter of letting people know it's okay to be who you are, they'd just find ways to make that general statement. Instead, they push the gay agenda. It's one thing to talk about gay right in a political setting. It's another thing to flood every media outlet with conversation about a gay dude making it known that he's gay.

 

[Recaptimus_Prime360]

I'm not mad at him for doing it. I'm just tired of this whole thing. Let gays be gay and be done with it. I watch basketball because I like the sport, and I don't need to know who they are fucking. The fact that I can't even get through a game wrap-up without some 20 minute long conversation about some dude admitting he likes to pack fudge is ridiculous.

And I hate the comparison of being black to being homosexual. It's not the same thing at all. When it all comes down to it, a person's sexuality is their own business. There is no reason it should be public, and if they choose to make it public then it's on them to deal with whatever consequences arise. You can't hide being black. It's not something you can privatize or keep to yourself. It's who you are, not something that revolves around what you do.

This.

NOT ABOUT AN ANSWER... I SAID GOD MADE IT LIKE THAT AN DU SAID 'SAYS WHO".. NOT YOU BOUT TO GO WAYYYYY LEFT WITH ANOTHER CONVO AND IT AINT ABOUT THAT

 

[GeminiRose]

Gay people try to force "that life" on everybody else and I'm against it. I have gays in the family and I love them dearly but I can't get with the lifestyle.

So what about the dudes that go to jail and fuck other men? Was every man that went to jail and wound up having homosexual sex gay from the start, or was it something they chose to be based on the situation. What about all these chicks that are either doing gay shit because they are fed up with men or as part of a fad. Were they always gay? And are they still gay even when they grow out of the phase, go back to men, and never look back.

I'm not saying there aren't people who are gay from birth and never really exhibited any other traits, but I think it's too broad a statement to say that being gay is not a choice. Lots of people make that choice.
