Welcome to Gaia! ::

While browsing through the LD I stumbled upon a comment relating to the "different kinds of gays." This sparked something in my mind to dive into this topic. I was just wondering what you guys thought about it. It seemed appropriate for this guild. In order to not be redundant, I've just added a link to direct it to you here. You can talk about it here or there. Doesn't matter to me.

I think it's bullshit. I think that Homophobia within the gay community is worse than homophobia from the straight world, to be honest. And I really think it's annoying when a guy says he's "straight-acting", and doesn't want to date a "femme" or anything. If you ask me, it's not very "straight acting" if you're having sex with a man.

u may find it funny but that's exactly how i and my boyfriend feel.
supper effeminate guys make us feel uncomfortable and aren't attractive to either of us. its really depressing watching them perpetuate a crappy stereotype.

ive said the exact same thing i really find some women just sexually unattractive to find a man who goes super girly is equally unattractive.

i care if they keep it going. their half the reason people can continue to deny us rights. they cant pull it together for a year so we can get all the rights and stuff passed first..

and when is that a stereotype. thats stupid.

Well I didn't feel like coming all the way here. xP And I think I would get a lot more different opinions than in here.

I am called a femboy a lot. I don't really care, who I date just as long as I like them enough to date them really.

dont you know its now LGBTQA... -_-
i dont think, i know. one of the governors running for NY went to a effing pride parade and we convinced him single handedly that we were a effing subspecies. -_-
never said i was ashamed, i said i was uncomfortable. im all for tolerance and what not but i dont have to tolerate someone who has a blatant disregard for the right of those around them to be comfortable with their surroundings. they are the stereotype my friends thought all gay people fell into and had a really negative view of gay people me coming out changed a lot of opinions i was also some peoples first gay friend too. i can stand behind LGBA people, but TQ are difficult for different reasons
T because its a relatively ambiguous term that defines various levels. also everyone is transgender because we all display both male/sex,gender and female/sex,gender characteristics. to separate it out to define extremes isnt something we really do very often and i dont see the point.
Q is gender queer if you didnt know, someone devoid of gender which is impossible because society wont allow it if some one really wants to be gender queer they can get a grey jumpsuit shave their head and get out of america...

so yeah now that you have made me recap everything i have come to understand about sex and gender to a point i think my sociology teacher would be proud of maybe not necessarily with my views gender queer people though : if anything you have made me reaffirm position even more with myself and im perfectly happy with where i am in life i stand by my views even now that you have basically tried to make me look like an a** by calling me out on my beliefs which isnt a very tolerant or understanding position to take in an argument of equality i might add. if i had my way id give everyone equal rights and we'd all get a long but it's not gonna happen my way now is it their are way too many differing view points in this country to allow for that. so calling me in more words an "a**" because im uncomfortable around super feminine men is really rather sad. sorry i can't be super confident and whatnot, but attacking me for it is pointless go write an angrily worded letter to your congress person or something next time.

have a nice day

Nope. The short form is LGBT. The long form is LGBTTI2QQA.
