My avatar was on someones laptop at my last job. The person had been terminated and I was getting ready to re-image their machine when I noticed the nice wallpaper they had and kept it. Later when Apolyton got avatars I decided to use it because I have always liked pictures of space and satellite photos of earth.

My avatar is of a true hero. Francisco Franco... he stood up against those filthy communist dogs and led Spain to prosperity.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

I think the guy on my avatar is cool looking. Kinda what Cat Stevens would look like now. All wise and stuff.
Damn, all these non-civvers around here, it is very concerning how little they know
My avatar? Ah yes, the logo of the punk band Bad Religion. Sums up my point of view quite well, and it brilliant for antagonising the more zealous element around this place

For the purpose of getting to know each other... I'd just like to know why gay people are so obsessed with gay culture that they must have an avatar that is totally.. well.. gay?
I mean come on.. we've seen raibowesque gay community symbols, hyper-masculine men staring at each other (used suggestively, of course), flamboyantly homosexual personal pictures (accompanied by even gayer text).. is this really necessary???
Wait
Scratch that.
I'm now going to affirm my straightness with a nice sexual avatar, and some suggestive text as well. Brazillian super-models, here I come! [as soon as it damn well loads

A quick look over the message board index reveals many threads about the "World's Hottest Women" and whatnot. I'd just like to know why straight people are so obsessed with straight culture that they need to make threads that are totally.. well.. straight?For the purpose of getting to know each other...

A lot of gay people feel the need to "advertise" the fact that they're gay as a way of telling other gays that they are gay. It's one of those things you probably don't think about: How much harder do you think it is for gay men to get dates compared to straight men? When you're straight, it's safe to assume the girl you're hitting on is straight. It's not like that for gay people, so some have their rainbow shirts and whatnot.
Others do it as a way of saying "We're here, We're queer, Get used to it". It's not like they do it to spite you, it's also for other people to realize that they're not alone, that there's someone else like them out there too and isn't ashamed of it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Hey, that does help explain a bit.
But aren't the gay bars convenient enough? Or are all the guys there just trashy b*tches and sluts?

I don't think I'd ever be caught dead in a gay bar.

If someone wishes to start a discussion thread on the psychological and political reasons that gays come out to friends, family, co-workers, school classmates, and society, that would be cool.
But just one comment from me, and hopefully no more on this in this avatar thread--for me, coming means that I refuse to let the heterosexist society ignore us, or treat us as a tabboo subject.
But no threadjacking here please.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment
