I grew up in the AIDS KILLS F**S DEAD era, so yeah my life would have been significantly harder. There was some mini-series where the catch was "every father's worst nightmare..." and the kid reveals he's gay to his dad. And I grew up in a state that allows gay marriage! I can't imagine what it would be like in other places in the 80s early 90s.

Oh hey, it's Mer's weekly "I'm gay, give me attention please" topic.

Being straight definitely doesn't mean I bring up my sexual preference every 5 minutes on the internet for sympathy and brownie points, and I say this as the gayest straight guy ever who has put up with a LOT of abuse from family and peers over it. I mean yeah I'm not officially gay or whatever, but I know what the abuse can be like and I have a decent idea of how my life would be different were I born gay instead of straight. Gay people deal with some of the worst hate humanity has to offer, but that doesn't mean gay people are allowed to parlay this into treating people like garbage. There's a reason you're made fun of Mer and not, say, Ed Bellis or ExThaNemesis. Ed doesn't act mean toward people and then hide behind a sexual preference afterwards. In fact he doesn't act mean toward anyone ever. You'd do well to talk to him.

Because Mer is an insecure child who needs sympathy 24/7. Topic over.

I was honestly going to post in here before doing the weekend chores and thought better of it, but then you had to go and act like a spoiled brat who has had it soooooo much worse than everyone else because of being gay. Which is patently false and self-centered, and you've blatantly ignored some rather intelligent people bringing it up in this topic.

What do you want me to say, "Congratulations you need to grow up"? I may not be as eloquent with words as icon is (or even half as nice), but the point is the same.

"Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel.

That's mostly because we do not share interests, AFAIK. I've actually seen you a lot because I'm always interested in your music/current events topics!

But seriously, this topic took a very lame turn, because you kind of flipped over a bunch of responses. Icon's comes to mind in particular - he spoke very clearly from a subjective, personal standpoint and you went into victim mode and said "should have figured you straight people wouldn't 'get it'!". It was really, really puzzling, too, because the first post seemed pretty sane, but then you degraded into lots of crying about an unfair lot in life, not being understood by straight people and lots of very emo stuff. Of all the points you've made since then, like 2 have been legitimately good, out of 12, and the rest has been lots of crying. Speaking from experience, for instance, your complaints about gay people being second class citizens in your society is wrong. I live in the middle of nowhere (as in, not north america, not europe, third world country nobody cares about, etc. etc. etc.), and you really, really don't know what actual ignorance and stupidity looks like, nor bigotry. My society doesn't even have racial or religious divides to speak of and yet it manages to compensate for it and be more prejudiced than your nation is, for instance. It absolutely puzzles me how you went into an absolute, unjustified *****-fest like that when you've probably never even tried considering *actual* life changing decisions and traits as opposed to a simple case-by-case thing like sexual orientation. Have you ever thought about not having a single friend, for instance? As-in, just having yourself, your family, and your own thoughts to keep you company? That's an unarguably life-altering issue that I don't think a single person would contest as not being huge, even subjectively (except people who are already like that I guess). So why take something that isn't on that scale, and flip out like that?

So now you, of all people, know my life, Ashe?

While I admittedly got a little too frustrated at some of the responses, I stand by my belief that straight people will never "get" it. The same way I'll never "get" what it's like to be black, or to be deaf, or to be diabetic, or whatever else.

My frustration came from the fact that I wasn't, at all, expecting varied responses to this question. I was expecting a unanimous "Yes", because that's the only answer that makes sense to me, and if a person wants to try to claim that their sexuality hasn't at all affected how their life has turned out, I think they very likely are not thinking hard enough about it.

Again, maybe icon's right. Maybe icon lives in some magically progressive society and not a single person he's ever interacted with would've ever batted an eye at him being gay.

All I'm saying is - for the millionth time - I doubt it.

And as for your whole **** about me not knowing what "real" ignorance and bigotry are because greater levels exist of it in other places in the world, that's entirely bull****. That doesn't even make sense.

I never had a "*****-fest" or "flipped out", I think you're reading too deeply into my posts. It's not like I was sitting here getting pissed off and freaking out.

I was frustrated with what I considered to be an uninformed point of view, and then the brigade of idiots came storming in to tell me and Cyclo that we shouldn't "whine" about our lack of equal rights, which I was understandably irritated by

You act like I punched a hole in my laptop or some ****.

Spoilers, I am not, in fact, an Ashe alt. I just trolled you with a running joke that's been with me since the very, very start. People NEVER know who the **** I am, you're not alone in this. ;)

And yes, you gave me an impression of tremendous frustration, really. I don't know how else to put it - all I could picture in my mind's eye was a ton of sighing and facepalming on your end. If you consider it a debatable subject...yeah, it pretty much is. I just don't think it's worth getting so worked up over.

PS: I stand by the fact you're really not aware of how well off you are though. You think gays are second class citizens in the USA? Nooooooooo, my man, a second class citizen is a dude who literally can't get a job because of his looks and station, dooming him to a perpetual cycle of poverty. THAT is a second class citizen. What gays are is a group in the middle of a transition into becoming a fully accepted minority. No more, no less.
