Personally I enjoy those threads
vass. Because you get to see a lot of people's true colors. People who you thought you knew.
Trust me, I too have been a little shocked and often just disappointed at otherwise "intelligent" people flaunting their intolerance. But it gives me a chance to fight with the people I don't normally fight with.
I'm not pro-gay but I'm vehemently not anti-gay either. I am 100% for a person's right to do whatever the hell they want to do, and with whomever they want to do it. As long as all parties are there by choice and no one's rights are being violated then it's no one else's business.
Over the years I've had a number of friends that are gay, some very good friends. I've never had any problems with homosexuals, male or female. Occasionally I had to make it clear that I was not one of them. But I always did it tactfully and made sure they understood, clearly, that fact was cast in stone. I've never had a problem with them not respecting that. And due to that they earned my respect in return.
We're all just people. And I ain't gonna hate anybody until they violate my rights. Then they're in trouble.
