Why Gay Olympics??

[Spec]

Ok, I'm tired of this. And maybe Mr.fun will be able to answer me.

First off, I'm NOT homophobic and I have nothing against gay poeple. But somethings really bother me like those stupid "Gay Olympics". WTF is up with that? Why do gay ppl have their own olympics? How does being gay alter your physical abilities? In no freakin way! So why does it exists?
That's how I see it, if you qualify, you go to the REAL olympics but if you suck and by anychance you're gay you can qualify for gay olympics? Why? Please dont tell me this is for "the equality of rights" between heteros and gays because if you ask me that only helps in segregating them.
It's not because you're gay that you jump farther or not. It's a physical ability you're born with even if you're gay or not.
And what about all those parades you gays have. Why? For us heteros to see you on the street parading and say:" Hey, there are those different ppl parading again." Why dont you just act like evrybody else and mix yourself up with us instead of helping the Segregation again.
I totaly agree on gay rights just like women rights. By that I mean that you should have the same job opportunities, same salary, right of marage, etc....All these "normal" things. But gay olympics? PLEASE! That's just helps society make clans of gay ppl and hetero ppl, it helps socirty seperate us and put one of the 2 aside.

If any gays are offended I'm sorry, that wasn't intended.

just TRY to get a 'straight' olympics going.

Yet another PC crock of ****.

I've never heard of this before, but maybe they should change the name of the competition so they don't imply that it's a variation on the olympics. Since, as far as I know, the olympics do not disciminate.

Oh, come on. You know it's because those durn homerseculars can't compete in javelin and discus because of their limp wrists. And it's damn hard to go hedge-running in leather pants.

Same thing regarding race...there are special TV programmes for Asians, special radio programmes for blacks but nothing special for whites

[our_man]

Sounds like they're heterophobic

That has ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with it. If you go in china, maybe there are shows like General hospital and sh*t like that for you white guys. And besides other races speak in different langages so TV shows of their culture is understandable. And there are gay ppl of all races but the difference between them and heteros is where they put their D|ck. So how should that influence your physical ability to jump or run or whatever?

totally agree

I totalyl agree.
Its actually the same with many things.
Like should we have olympics for blond ppl.
Or for ppl with a crooked nose?
It may seem like it helps the gay cause, but having a special olympics IS discrimination.
Discrimination is when u differentiate beetween things for reasons you shouldnt.
Physical performance because of sexual orientation for example.
When ppl dont actually care that ure gay just like they dont care that u have this or that shade of hair, then they gay ppl will have won their fight, and things like these olympics actually stand in their way.

I'm a reasonably open person but Gay Olympics seems a bit much.

I love the GAY PRIDE parades. It gives them some good visability. But I particularly like watching homophobic politicians out whoring for votes. Quite a few of my gay friends participate around the country and their self esteem seems considerably higher afterwards and they meet a lot of other guys. More power to them.

BUT GAY Olympics. It's like admitting you're inferior and need special considerations to compete. I know it's really about getting more exposure. But I don't think they will gain the same benefit.

I agree with you Spectator. This is ridiculous. Im curious to see what MrFun has to say.

[Lancer]

Actually, they seperated the gays out as it was unfair to the strait competitors.

Something to do with the unfair advantage of a lube job...

[Bosh]

don't see the problem with this, you have men who're atheltic and want to meet other gay people. why not let them do both at once?

[Vesayen]

Im not a homophobe.........

There are gay olympics, are you joking? When and where are they hosted? The last time I checked prefering the same gender sexually does not alter your physical abilities......and how do you proove your gay to qualify lol?

1.) Its called the Gay Games. The US Olympic Comittee sued them and tried to close them, but they just changed their name instead. Funny...they didn't sue the Special Olympics...

2.) Believe it or not, this is a huge thing in the gay community. In 1998, the games were held in Amsterdam. There were 15,000 participants and brought in about 60 million dollars to the city. The next is in Sydney.

3.) Its men and women.

It's a redundant name given the history of Ancient Olympics and the shear number of "gay" events in the real Olympics.
