I have a semi-solution for you. Start a new thread, with the sole purpose of posting picture of fugly homophobes from the media. Then everyone can debate on whether or not these people you post are homophobes or not. It could be a healthy discussion you clearly want to consider in more detail. :)

Id suggest the discrimination folder. Actually, I'd like to take a look at such a thread myself once it got going. It's not something I've ever considered before, but it sounds like it could be a fun debate.

I just started posting on here last night and do this from my phone. I don't even know how to or where you are talking about.

The impression mounts that you are an idiot.
oh, Connie, check some of his other posts :rolleyes:

I wouldn't say idiot, just overly impassioned and unwilling to listen to any other opinion.:tongue:

I would also be leery of basing my judgment on two studies alone.

As for the rest, Mike, please do not presume to dictate to us what our opinions on the attractiveness of people are. Attractiveness is highly subjective, and you would do well to remember that.

Just sayin'.

If you go to the very top left of the screen, you will see a folder with links next to it telling you where you are in the site. Click on the first one, saying LPSG. It will bring you to the main page. Scroll down and you will see all the possible places you can post threads. You can click on each one, which will bring you to a smaller selection of threads. Click on the Relationships, discrimination,... link. Again at the top left-ish, and there will be a button. It will say "New Thread". From there, it takes you to the empty template, and you just fill it in! Have fun with it!!

Btw, I started that thread. How do you include pics though? All I can do is add the link.

^^You are right there. The wit was so prepared, you didn't seem to have a problem throwing it back in his face. Have you been in many situations where you've no choice but to defend yourself in such a manner? I, for one, am no natural at wit!

Click "Go Advanced" before you post, it is right next to the post button. Here, you will find all the possible options with posts on LPSG. Click on the paperclip, and a pop-up screen will appear where you can attach the photos.

I am at my wittiest when I am telling someone to kiss my ass.... My mouth tends to get me in trouble but it is a tool I would not trade in my confrontations.

Somehow, I find that pretty hot. Probably because I can't really do stuff like that...I have zero experience. Is it funny we are having two active conversations between two threads we each have started? Welcome to LPSG by the way. I really like your avatar!

Oh.

If you are NOT already quoting someone, look below the post box. it will give yo the option to go advanced (you will already be in this if you quoted a lpsg member.

Once in "advanced, scroll down. Beow pst box you will see "Post Icons" then Submit reply and preview post side by side. Continue to scroll down and you will see "additional Options".

The first one is misc. options (show your sig, auto parse links, auto retrieve titles from external links, disable smilies in text)

Directly bekow that it will say "attach files"

Click on "manage attachments" and it will get you to where you can browse your pics and post them as attachments.

Now if the pics are in a link, then t may be easier to just insert a link (just be sure it does not violate the TOS. No pics of minors. not even if they are in the background of a news story, or there are visible inks with said pics in side bars) To do that type word you want to link, highlight it, then cick on globe with chain link superimposed on it in tool bar.

Hope that came out coherently! lol

Sorry but you have to understand where I come from. Six years ago, after living in nyc for 10 years, I moved to Davie, FL and started working at the gas station where I came into contact with the entire town. At first I thought it was amusing how I could spot all these lesbians but not one single gay guy. It didn't take me long to figure out why. Within one week, after living there a month, I had three different guys tell me I would be attacked and beaten up for being gay.... My roommate, the second being the guy whom I was seeing, who had already been hospitalized by a group of guys and bats, and a guy who said he would do it himself but that he had a gay brother. I fought and I fought hard and wasn't about to go back into a closet. While God might have put the gay neon sign over my head He also gave me a healthy dose of sexual attractiveness and confidence and I used that to my advantage. I looked for any homophobe to say shit to my face and there were plenty of them but they all turned to chicken shit once they met my Mr Hyde who was more than happy to come out to meet them. That shit pissed me off. The odd thing is that town was the cruisiest town ever. I could go to Target and if the guys girlfriend was on the other aisle he would be into cruising big time.

Unfortunately I am no longer the outgoing guy I was before that year happened. I finally made it back to nyc but not without the scars that drive our gay youth to kill themselves. And unfortunately I never came across a homophobe that was dumb enough to be my outlet.

So sorry if I sound pissed but homophobia, and the fact it comes.from cowards, pisses me off.

Oh and this comes from a man who could only come up.with a bisexual and a racist antisemitic jerk as his examples.

Dude, you put the I, the do and the it in idiot.

Is Tony Curtis a bisexual? Perhaps. He denied it in one of his volumes of autobiography.
Back in his 20s, he said he had had sex with women, men and animals after arriving in H'wood at the age of 22.
I don't know how much credence one should give this.
He was married I think six times, had sexual contact with over a thousand women, I believe it's often said. (Who knows?)
I think the stronger argument would be that he probably wasn't homophobic.
A rumour that he was homophobic began when he reportedly criticized, in what some took to be a homophobic way, the movie Bareback Mountain.
He later claimed he was misquoted.
And he apparently expressed affection for his numerous gay fans.
On top of that, he often played characters who seemed to have homosexual undertones.
So Mr. Curtis seems an absurd example of a homophobe.

I don't see much relevance in the fact that Mel Gibson's best known homophobic remarks were made two decades ago. What difference does that make? Anyway, he continues to say homophobic things. He counselled Heath Ledger not to take the role of Ennis in Brokeback Mountain because it offended his sense of morality, for example. This only makes sense given his involvement in Opus Dei.

All that said, a claim that all homophobes are "fugly" is stupid on its very face. Why would better looking people be exempt from being homophobic? It makes no sense.

I wouldn't say idiot, just overly impassioned and unwilling to listen to any other opinion.

See, those are the traits that to me equal idiot.

Trust me, having a mouth that goes off in its own is not usually the best asset. In fact it just got me arrested last week.

Not fun.

That is my opinion as well.

It depends. If his behavior continues, then I would agree. Knowing a tad of his background i can at least see Why he feels as he does. He needs to realize that not everyone who doesn't see things 100% his way, are not attacking him, and can have valid opinions. It is hard to seperate our biases from the cold hard facts. To him, EVERY homophobe will appear fugly, because of what he has gone through. Understanding that i choose to be more forgiving of some of his brashness. That said, I only have x amount of sympathy for a person who in the majority of his interactions, does not extend that same courtesy.

My patience only lasts so long. The fact that he did try to explain to me (an politely) the why behind his thoughts, did extend the shelf-life of my patience.
