Without wishing to sound pedantic...

You've just added another thread to that little list of yours...

Sure some people are maybe a bit overboard, but it's a free OT - you don't want censorship do you?

Maybe the people you're aiming this thread at crave attention - something you have just given them...

You're actually encouraging them you know...

You make it sound like the mere mentioning of being gay (or even implication) is somehow throwing it into your face.

First, it's rather egocentric to believe such topics are discussed just to fling something in your face. It's not all about you, ya know.

Second, as I said, what you define as flinging in your face doesn't seem to me to be anything different from heterosexuals discussing their lives, dreams, passions, etc. Being gay is a big part of a gay person's life, and it is inevitable that the subject will arise when people are discussing their lives. Are you saying gays shouldn't discuss who they are in deference to a few heterosexuals who get queasy over it?

Third, I think you're assertion is quite wrong, as homosexuality has not arisen the the vast majority of threads on this board. I think you're just picking it out because it makes you uncomfortable and blowing it out of proportion.

i personallly think sexually should be discussed in a more private manner.

Sexual behavior, yes. Sexual orientation, no. There's no reason for a gay person so censor discussing his/her life for the sake of not offending someone.

all im saying is that lately it seems this forum is
turning into a gay parade of invitations and
sexual inuendos between the gay posters.

I've seen far more gay innuendo between heterosexual posters than gay ones. Don't blame us for the heterosexual men flirting amongst themselves.

And again, I don't see this as being true. I think you're blowing things out of proportion a great deal. I'd say the percentage of gay-related posts are miniscule, perhaps about 5% at the most. I'm just wondering why you seem to be focusing on them.

it used to be that most of the sexual referances were in the coffee shop and if a person wanted to view that they could go there but lately its spread to many other threads.

I think you're forgetting the upteen "Which Babe You Think is The Hottest" threads thrust upon us countless times by leering, hormonal teenage heterosexuals. I'm pretty certain there hasn't been a comparable number of threads by gays here.

And the vast majority of the gay threads I have seen are based upon political and sociological discussions, not sexual ones.

No, it isn't.

no really ? are you sure?
i thought it was a good troll
censorship ..no never... im just throwing the topic out for discussion.

[boann]

boris , people telling each other they have fine chests and yummy bodies is not just regular discussions.
its called blatent flirting where i come from.
regardless weather its gay or hetro.

[Boris Godunov]

And I've only seen that happen in one thread, the one where people post pictures.

And everytime a female posts a pic, there are countless posts from da boys talking about cute/hot she is, etc.

Why single out the gays?

[boann]

hummm ...well because i wanted to talk about it.

[Boris Godunov]

Why? What's your obsession with gays?

[boann]

am i the only one that thinks
"gawd , get a room"?

[Boris Godunov]

No, but that doesn't mean your thinking is correct.

[boann]

If someone said to me, hey Boann, nice chest, like to rub that, wouldn't that be out of line?

[boann]

personaly that would offend me in public.
and i would be mad someone degraded me in that way

[Boris Godunov]

If it offended you, sure. And you can say something about it then.

But if the person it's addressed to doesn't have a problem with it, then neither do I.

However, when has such a thing been posted? I didn't see any comments about rubbing chests in the pic thread (as far as I know)

[boann]

acting slutty is acting slutty weather its gay or hetro.
take the personal stuff private
thats all my point is.

[Boris Godunov]

Ok, so what this has boiled down to is this:

You're offended that some people on this board choose to post comments that are rather too sexually twinged for your tastes.

While I am perplexed you chose to single out gays, I will put that aside.

Hey, you've every right to not like what you see on the board. If people posting such things bothers you, I don't think you're wrong for feeling that way. But the answer isn't to tell people not to post those things. The answer would be to hang out somewhere where people didn't. That's the hazard of being on the internet and in a public forum where there is a reasonable degree of free speech.

If you were to post a detailed account of a specific sex act you performed, rest assured everyone would find that inappropriate. But if you said to a guy who posted a shirtless pic "Nice chest," I doubt many would care (except the guy, who would probably go into apoplexy that one of the women here paid attention to him).
