Well, you're not in their position so you are not one to say. I'm a lesbian, but I don't go around parading it. However, someone doing that doesn't bother me because I'm not a douche.

I mean yes, I'm all for gay rights, but when people are going IM GAY, THIS IS HOW I AM LOLZ IM FLAMBOYANT NOW GIVE ME RIGHTS and everyone's all "... whoa," then...

You do realize that this is what white people say about the difference between blacks and the 'n' word? "Oh they're fine if they dress and act like us! But if they start wearing baggy clothes and talking funny, I don't like them"

It bothers you because you're letting it bother you. I understand you don't hate it or anything, but you definitely sound intolerant.

I didn't say I was bothered by them actually being flamboyant, I said I was bothered by the fact that I think doing that and then turning around and going ACCEPT US!!!! when they know people won't is kind of... strange.

And this is why I said "I wish people could just tone down the blatantness and just... you know, blend in, without feeling like they're giving up their 'identity.'"

I understand what you said once you started elaborating and apologize for any vindictive tone I had; however, if they want people to accept them even if they know people won't, there's really nothing wrong with that. It takes a lot of courage to do that, no matter how annoying you may act in doing so.

Yeah, I know. I was just saying like, it'd be a lot easier for everyone if they could just meet halfway somehow, but it doesn't seem to be working. =/

No bad feelings. :D

Sometimes this stuff makes you defensive and you begin to sound a bit angrier than you really are. I guess that's what's going on with me at the moment, and it's because of how the discussion was started. Thanks for being understanding.

I agree, I wish people could just be comfortable in their own skins. But that's not always the person's fault :[

♥ Its okay, I mean...it is a sensitive subject that people rarely actually open up about...mostly because nobody wants to make anyone hate them or get anyone mad... (at least...in my case? ;-; I absolutely hate losing friends.)

Wow, way to generalize white people.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

Hey moron, I was giving example of white people who say that exactly. I could give an example of women who hate men, or men who hate women, or gays who hate straight people. It doesn't mean I'm saying it applies to everyone.
