I wish I had the option to downvote, because thinly veiled homophobia is really a disgusting thing to see on a supposedly enlightened site.
As if straight people don’t sleep around and have drug-fueled sex parties. And my god, swingers were and are a thing - as if gay men have a monopoly on getting laid.
The behavior is not rampant in the gay community; “they” do not have drug-fueled sex parties and fuck for days; they do not promote hyper sexuality at the expense of their health and “they” most certainly did not “just get their freedom”. If you think LGBT rights are all fought and won in the US, then you haven’t looked much into anti-discrimination laws.
You are not tolerant; and I take issue with you claiming to be tolerant. This is thinly veiled, disgusting homophobia, straight out of the moral majority’s playbook (seriously, it’s straight outta the 70s).
There is no rational conversation to be had here because what you said is wrong and disgusting and I hate seeing it on this site.
- MiroF 6y agoI am shocked reading some of the replies in this thread. The average commentator here definitely tries to hide their socially regressive views behind some ideal of being "rational", but even then I truly thought that commentators here were above this.
- inappropriately 6y agoHN is full of horrible bigoted shits. No idea why I bother with this site any more.
- inappropriately 6y agoWouldn't be surprised if the parent commenter is racist as well, you know what these conservative types are like, it all comes as one shitty bigoted package. Let's hope people like him get fucked up in these riots. Racists, homophobes, conservatives - they deserve to get their teeth smashed in, and worse.
- mgkimsal 6y ago> seriously, it’s straight outta the 70s I felt like I was re-hearing a church youth pastor sermon from 1985 reading the parent comment.
- drewbug01 6y agoIf you grew up in the church I did, you could have the pleasure of hearing those comments as recently as ... checks calendar at least 2006! (I left after so who knows if they kept that line of rhetoric going). It’s surprisingly common to hear this stuff today, still.
- mgkimsal 6y agoI wonder if this language and demonization was prevalent in, say, 1934. I can imagine it by the 60s, and certainly heard it in the 70s and 80s, but unsure if this was a trope much earlier (certainly there would have been other anti-gay tropes).
- tacheiordache 6y agoDude, i dont have those views of gayness. How about you go to a spa with your kids and unawares you see a gay orgy. I didnt say a thing because of my kids and because i didnt want to to be the gay hater you’re talking about. But yeah, use that bigot label carelessly and it will mean nothing
- SV_BubbleTime 6y ago> supposedly enlightened site Yea... about that. The tech articles are fine usually, but the social articles bring out some crazies. Same as anywhere else.
