livendive 8 #326 February 23, 2006 QuoteWhat's relevant to the question is that all the guys I'm head over heels in love with are either a) too young or b) of an inappropriate (for my purposes) sexual orientation (not to mention married to each other). I've never been happier in the knowledge that I'm straight. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith 0 #332 February 24, 2006 QuotePeople engaging me in conversations about being gay that were new and novel to them, but old and repetitive and tired and boring to me: "I had a gay friend once and..." "When did you know you were gay? How did you know? Did you ever try heterosexuality?" Again, having to either extricate myself and walk away, or play educator one more time, or deal with it at all, was a hassle. A hassle I don't encounter in environments where people don't even think about being gay any more that they think about being brunette (How does it feel to be a brunette? Do you remember noticing one day that your hair was brown?), or in environments where there are a lot more gay people around and I'm not the only resident expert. What an unfortunate stance to take. One of, if not the, biggest issues the gay community faces in gaining equal rights, is a general lack of understanding of what homosexuality is. Even though I’ve had this discussion more times than I can count, I never miss the chance to educate someone who is genuinely interested in understanding. Why would we want to put off someone coming to us with compassion?Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScratchTX 0 #346 February 24, 2006 QuoteQuotePeople engaging me in conversations about being gay that were new and novel to them, but old and repetitive and tired and boring to me: [...] What an unfortunate stance to take. One of, if not the, biggest issues the gay community faces in gaining equal rights, is a general lack of understanding of what homosexuality is. Even though I’ve had this discussion more times than I can count, I never miss the chance to educate someone who is genuinely interested in understanding. Why would we want to put off someone coming to us with compassion? Well, like I said, I know they are well-meaning and I appreciate their intentions. I always give them a nice hug after I smack them in the face for asking... But seriously, though often I'll have The Discussion anyway, and I never bitch at anyone for honestly asking , sometimes I just want to be a person hanging out, not a homosexpert, you know? I respect your patience and generous attitude... and if you and I jumped at the same dz I would nicely send them over to you! I guess I also feel like if someone is genuinely interested in understanding, they can take a little responsiiblity for educating themselves. We're talking about adults here, from the US or other developed modern countries. It's probably not too hard for people to find books, movies, lectures, community groups, magazines, gay/straight organizations, pamplets, etc. with just a little effort. Sure that might be hard and hey I can empathize -- coming out was hard, living for years as a criminal under Texas law was hard, lots of things about being queer are difficult, you know that -- but I'm motivated, so... let curiosity and the desire to empathize and understand motivate us all to work a little harder to learn more ourselves, instead of expecting others to do the work for us. (I'm kind of curous about midgets, what it would be like to live as one, but if I met a midget at someplace like the dz I wouldn't assume they would want to spend all night answering all my questions about it -- I'd figure they might prefer to talk about skydiving or whatever else they are interested in, just like most people. If I didn't know how to use google and was afraid of reference librarians, I could even ask them if they knew of any good resources for learning more about little people (since I don't think "The Wizard of Oz" counts). If the midget was more like me, they might loan me their favorite book of political essays, poetry, and pornography by people under 48" and suggest some good midget forums on the web; if they are more like you, they might say "here I am, what do you want to know?") (just googled midgets and found out that's an offensive term to many people, see I learned something already) (It's still a great word though -- nice sound -- mi-djit. mih-djit. MIH-djiht.)
