I think this is the answer right here. The fact that there is more openness, vulgarity, and “in-your-face-ness” about homosexuality is just part of there being more openness, vulgarity, and in-your-face-ness about sexuality in general.

I completely agree with this. I don’t care if someone is gay, straight, or anything else…but I am really appalled at the lack of dignity in our culture. I am even appalled with the way people dress. I don’t really want to see 2 people–any 2 people–having a heavy makeout session in public. It’s really incredibly tacky.
Strangely relevant story…last night, my husband, the kid, and I were walking down the street, after dark. There were 2 people going at it pretty good, leaning against a car…and it was 2 women. When they heard us coming, they stopped and said hi, and we said hi. No big deal. I had a lot of respect for them for stopping when they realized we were approaching…and I would have felt the same way if it was a guy-girl couple. Some things are just not appropriate in public.

I feel that gay people have an agenda to push more and more vulgar homosexual “things” into our culture. I think this is dead wrong and i fear what our western societies will look like in a decade or two.

[sarcasm]What would be especially terrible is if the gay agenda was actually to secure the Liberty promised with the founding of our nation. Do you have any idea what our nation would be like if all were allowed equal right of peaceful pursuit? We might actually someday be at PEACE!!! Trust me, bigots and tyrants will do all in their power to prevent that from ever happening. [/sarcasm]

what will be next? commercials of gay porn on TV? :mad:
[/QUOTE]
When straight porn is advertised on TV, gay porn will not be far behind. But that would require relaxation of FCC regulations (you can’t even advertise cigarettes on TV, not in the U.S.), so I don’t expect it any time soon. The porn industry doesn’t need it anyway, not so long as we have the Internet.

You don’t watch much do you?
Last week: Girls Gone Wild: very wild girl on girl action advertised!
Whoops, I guess I’m wrong, those girls usually are straight or bisexual and do girl on girl action because they are paid for it or because they know it is a big turn on for heterosexual men.
Curse those heterosexual tarts for putting more and more vulgar things in our face!

I’m not against homosexuals as such and would not refuse those who are gay to live their own life.

May I put it to you that you are lying? You are “against homosexuals as such,” and you would “refuse those who are gay to live their own life.” Why not just 'fess up and explain why you are so terrified of/hateful toward gays?
Normally the girls indeed are not doing much, but the recent commercial I saw had the girls getting naked and beginning to fondle each other. IMHO that counts as porn since the ad implied there was more to come.

Apparently you live in Northern Europe. Don’t know what that means exactly, but when I lived in Europe I got straight porn on TV, for free, every night. When we got Sky satellite TV from the UK, we got not only tons of straight porn, but adverts for gay porn too! :eek:
Minotaurus, I know others have pointed these questions out already, but I’m curious how you respond to them. If you expect those icky “gays” to hide their relationships so you don’t have to see them, why isn’t it fair for the straights to do the same thing?
[QUOTE=Miller]
You go first. Don’t kiss your wife/girlfriend in public. Don’t hold her hand. Don’t keep her picture on your desk at work. Don’t ever talk about her, at all. Pretend that, for all intents and purposes, she does not exsist.
Once you’ve done that, I will seriously consider doing the same for my boyfriend.

ffff
i’m getting tired this. Looks that you people are trying to make this as difficult as possible
i won’t have all this vulgar sex-related stuff in the society. Gays going hand in hand etc is not exactly what i was thinking about

He won’t have it, you hear that EU?! Put a stop to it this instant! Minotaurus is very put out.
In all seriousness, how do you propose it be stopped? Don’t you feel your tax money would be better spent if the police were keeping you safe from actual criminals, instead of your eyes safe from occasionally seeing two men kiss?

I’m beginning to doubt you are in Northern Europe then. European TV is more open to sex than American TV and they even more tolerant to homosexuality, specially in Northern Europe. So once again: you really are not watching enough TV.

You are, sir, making it very difficult for yourself in this thread, and I’ve seen the argument before. Precisely what activities by gay people are you opposed to as inappropriate publicly, and why? If you manage to nail that down, you might actually get a reasonable hearing.
As things stand, I don’t believe anyone is advocating public sex acts; what’s being condemned, and rightly so, is the ostracism, by culture, of two gay people choosing to live a normal life together. Go shopping together, discuss whether they want to try the Chicken Florentine; stand arm in arm watching the fireworks; kiss each other as the New Year begins, like every other happy couple. What precisely do you object to their doing in public? And why is it wrong for them to do it but not for mixed-sex couples to?

Apologies et excuses, madamoiselle! We’ll get right on it!
Seriously though, I was considering posting in this thread to debate Minotaurus, but I thought i’d wait until he’d started.
I don’t think Girls Gone Wild really counts . . .
