I resent that. That's just prejudice.
Anyhow, no, I'm not afraid of gays. And no, I have nothing against gays or bisexuals or whatever.
And this deal about gays not being allowed to marry - I don't really see why they shouldn't. But then again, I'm neither religious or gay, and certainly not both.
In my opinion, we'd be better off without marriages at all and go with Civil Unions. But of course, it's important to religious people, so they should by all means be able to do so. Gay or not. It's just as important to religious gay people, I figure.
On topic though, final line.
I do not fear gay people.

Here we go... nice little collection of quotes 
| Quote: | | My therapist is Gay, i don't really fear him, but i don't like him looking at me for too long either. |
That's how I feel about any men looking at me. It freaks me out when guys stare at me. But, if a lesbian stared at me, I think I would be more intriuged than feaked out
| Quote: | | I like transvestites. |
So do I! Its facinating to discover why they want to dress like women! I watched a program about it, and these tranvestites were saying that they dressed as women because women no longer dress as women. In the olden days, women's clothing was heavily decorated and made them look like fairtale princesses, but now it's pretty much all jeans and t-shirts and practical clothes.
| Quote: | | what about women, I personally think that there is no problem with lesbians, but then again I am a man. But I would like to ask madlilnerd what do you feel about lesbians? |
I'm a teenager. I'm not sure what my sexuality is yet. If any of my friends told me they were lesbians I would be fine with it. For a while I thought I was bisexual, but I don't really know (although I have been kissed by a girl)

Sexuality doesn't belong in public. Period.
Anyone who is overly sexual in public, in any form, is subject to criticism.

I have to admit, it isn't particularly pleasant to watch people of any sexual orientation playing tonsil hockey. Holding hands and a peck on the cheek, fine. Making out and groping, no.

I see how that is annoying. I personally do not do that in front of people. But doing things like that in public... is a lto of fun really. Because you know you are doing something wrong... and you could get caught.
The suspence is great!

In some countries, it's considered very offensive... but this is getting off topic now.
I am not afraid of gays. I accept them as human beings.

Some people just have phobias for no reason, like those people who are scared of the number 13 or dust or bishops

Can I go out on main street and perform an autopsy on a dead deer? It won't hurt anyone. Fact is, it's unnatural, it's innapropriate, and it's the wrong setting. I have nothing against Gays, I just don't like to see them express their flamboyancies in public. I find it innapropriate and out of place, same goes for straight people, but it seems that certain Gays like to make it an issue. The overused phrase "Get a Room" comes to mind.

I don't really care whaaaaaaaaat your sexual orienatation is, whether you are gay, straight, bi, whatever. I really don't see any reason for me to even have to know what your sexual orientation is. I would like to say though, what I do NOT like is people being overly intimate in public, no matter who they are.

Performing an autopsy on a street on anything is odd. It would freak anyone out. If you think people should not show thier affection for one another then I guess all couples including man and woman should not show affection at all.
My comment to people who feel the way you do about gays showing their affection in public is simply... don't look it isn't your business anyway. There is nothing wrong with couples hugging, kissing or holding hands in public. IMO

I'm with you. And since this is the age for it, if it makes me feel uncomfortable, you can't do it.

I agree. It is distasteful. Nothing wrong with a peck, or hugging or holding hands though because that is a sign of a healthy relationship.

Yeah, hugging, holding hands, just a kiss on the cheek, that is fine. Once we get past that though... . Of course, I feel that way about all couples, not just same-sex ones .

Yeah, flamboyant gay men are REALLY annoying... like Jar Jar annoying. Straight people don't run around shouting "Look at me!! I'm straight!! I'm not wearing pink!!!", so I don't think gay people should go around doing the same sort of thing. As long as someone isn't pushing it in my face, I don't care what sexual orientation they have.

I don't see anything wrong with gay men who show it... not every man who wears pink is gay either.

Definitely agree with Dappet on this one. I'm Catholic myself, but I do believe that gay marriage should become legal. I've got reasons why it should become legal, but considering that really isn't the question here, I'm not going to go into it.
I honestly don't see any reason to be afraid of homosexuals. I've always thought, hey, whatever floats your boat, as long as you're happy. *shrugs*
