Oh, boy. This should bring the bigots out of the woodwork! Come on, you yahoos, let's hear your prejudices.

Don't encourage them

Right on... SummerSoul......your off and running.

Should set up an area for the "normal alignment" people to be safe from the discrimination from the gays and lesbians.

Okay, I'll bite. The premises of LGBTQ people is "we're normal" - just have different sexual preference. Fair enough. But if you're "normal", why would you need a "special place". Just by having the "special place" you are by definition saying you're not normal.

I've always felt that to have a true plural society you have to teach people to respect each other for no better reason that they are a human being of intrinsic worth irregardless of sex, religion race etc. When I was five I saw my first black kid and called him n***er. My Mom heard me, ripped me a new one, and I never called a black person that word again. She went on about something about God creating all people equal etc..


The minute you start making a big deal about one group over another, I feel you tend to stir up the bigotry you sought to quell.

And it does seem to run only in one direction. For example, we see all-native baseball/hockey tournaments, but there would be a fit if a tournament was held that was all - white. Why? because our constitution allows discrimination against the majority to promote/protect the minority.

So I postulate - what would happen if said all-white tournament was held in Richmond BC, where Asian is the majority - there would still be a fit thrown. So what is the agenda here?

All that said, I don't object to this. The ideal society based on mutual respect based on humanity doesn't exist, so it's probably a good thing these kids got somewhere go to they feel safe and accepted. The greater shame is a need for such a place exists in the first place.

My first wife's mother told me to "leave them to their own ways". Which I do.

LGBTQ, Great acronym and a pretty good crossword puzzle clue also.

Maybe open a branch office in the Tehran University?

hmmm well do tell when the last time you heard someone being beat up by gay individuals for being straight?

and then tell me when is the last time a gay individual was beaten by a straight person?

and having gay friends, I do understand why they need a safe place, somewhere where they are understood and not ridiculed!!

kind of like us natives always picked out of the crowd or being made fun of or beaten down because of our ancestry.

"Okay, I'll bite. The premises of LGBTQ people is "we're normal" - just have different sexual preference. Fair enough. But if you're "normal", why would you need a "special place". Just by having the "special place" you are by definition saying you're not normal."

That's quite the logical conclusion there Sherlock.

Me? I'm still waiting for that perfect world.

What about a heterosexual pride centre?
I mean, get real, some people are proud to be hetero.
A hetero pride parade would also be nice....at the same day they have a gay pride parade, that way we all could walk together, one big happy sex party.

There sure are a lot of self described victims out there.
metalman.

What "HD" said is what I meant. Had a brain freeze and could not remember "heterosexual".

Heterosexual pride parade? Ummm, try Halloween

I had to think for half an hour, I could not remember my sexual "orientation" either......I know why I forgot.....
It's because all I see on TV and hear is gay gay gay gay gay......

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to a hetero sexual room at the university, I feel discriminated.

Heterofobia is going rampant these days.

I'll just say: you don't mant to know what I think. That pretty well is what I think.
