its peoples perceptions and own prejudices in most cases

its also press and photographers convientently not portraying the vast and diverse people who celebrate pride--get the shot that will cause the most reacton....

as someone said--had that picture been from mardi gras-- it would be ok--people would laugh--comment how fun that mustve been--festive festive!

because it was some gay guy and at pride-- its suddenly something the worst of the worst, shameful, horrible etc. i would be shocked and surprised at some peoples thoughts on this thread..but i am not... just be honest enough to admit its your own prejudice not everyone elses--

however if you actually take the time to understand and learn about pride--then perhaps your eyes to understanding it will be opened a bit more and you will be less judgemental and some of your own misgivings on it will diappear

wtf is 'normal gays'???? someone help me here on this one--

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That picture looks like a normal night at The Warehouse here in Cincinnati.

Good points IE. You're right. If there was just a couple of sharply dressed guys in suits, it wouldn't make for much of a picture... although the guys could be kissing, that would be nice :-P

I would just like a realistic portrayal of gay life. Like an overweight guy living in a trailer in Kansas with a cat, who hasn't had sex in 10 years, has no local gay friends, basically no life. That's what gay is to me.

LOL

and mine is

good posting, Iron Eagle :)

Drs. DAJA, you have entered the danger zone now.
You only started to respect Freddie because you found out he was bi? Oh dear.
Does that mean you do not respect bisexual people? Does that mean you respect people until they tell you they are bisexual? And then? You run for cover?? Now who's a hypocrite?

And I'd like to add, I've thought about why gay people tell others they are gay. (not everyone does that immediately, btw) But perhaps it has something to do with the fact they would know right away how people react to it. Like Drs. DAJA for example. And then the gay person can move on and not waste time on people who are not worth it.

Lucky that Freddie was gay

and sometimes I realy wonder if people hav nothin better to do in their summer holidays then dirting a bulletinboard

yes daya, refering to you

Ok thanks Drs DAJA, for the compliment about my debating.
I think what may be causing the trouble here, is the language. I think I know what you are saying too and I do not agree with that. I have a problem with the fact that it seems to be important to you that people are gay, hetero, or bi. It should not matter. You should respect people no matter what. They are people.
And also, what do you mean by 'gay period'?

I was going to say what IE already said about the media taking that particular picture on purpose of the gay men being dressed up in the manner they were. The media take pictures of what they think people will look at and catch their eyes. If they can catch their eyes then people will most likely read the story put with the picture.

It is impossible to put all gays, all women, all men, all purple people eaters under one umbrella and call them all "this" or all "that." You can't do that with really any form of human beings. While some gay men or women feel the need to reveal their sexual preferences quickly, I KNOW there are heterosexual men and women also out there that feel the need to display their sexual preference out right.

Anyway, it just irks me when people say "all gays are this" or "all women are this" or all "blacks this", etc. Everyone is different and I should know....I am erm, different.

:)

This might clear some things up for Drs. Daja:

I'm sure that if I were a gay male, I'd be very flamboyant (but seeing as I'm a straight female...)

Correct question: Why are some PEOPLE such freaks?

For all we know, some of those people are straight. I know several straight people who go to the Pride events :D

I've got lots of pride, though I'm not a member of the gay community, and personally think that gay folks should be very proud of themselves for being true to themselves. In fact, everyone should be proud of who they are, provided that they are true to themselves!!!


That said, I do not appreciate ANYONE throwing their lifestyle in my face, be it Thugson the corner, Gays getting freaky in public, Teenagers sucking face at the Mall, Bible thumpers spouting their bullshit, the list goes on...

I think Freddie could be considered either bi OR homosexual. He DID have female relationships early on, but he came out later. There are many males that have been in straight relationships up until a point, then they realize that that lifestyle isn't for them. I think for Freddie to be bi, he had to have been constantly switching off male and female. If from a certain point on, he decided that he liked males better, and never had anymore intimate relationships with females, then he was homosexual.

Remember Folks,

Elton John WAS married.....


...and no-one would dare consider him bi!

And I accept The most bisexual cause they'r closer to straight than gay, and they ar also not looking to a srtain sexuality they fall in love and that's it.

hehe! I love your reasoning. Closer to straight? You mean only slightly sickening to you.

Freddie was gay. He tried having a relationship with a woman (Mary Austin) but it ended up being better as just a friendship.

Once he stopped fighting his sexuality, there were no further variations.. always gay. There was no 'gay period'. Freddie died while in a long term relationship with a live-in MALE lover, Jim Hutton.
