Yep. I think that covers it.
Hey lady
Let me be clear, I don't call people out on this kind of thing myself, nor would I, primarily because I don't think other people's lack of honesty with themselves is something I can usefully effect. Nor do I think that it's particularly important to dispute with other member whether they are 1% or 20% gay that's totally subjective and meaningless.
Just quoting my earlier post so we're clear about what my personal position is.
If you agreed it was subjective, and truly believed that, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all. Yes I did address the issue, but in the time you decided to take everything as a personal attack on you, you've failed to see it.
Let me make it clear for you on my thoughts: the world doesn't revolve around you. Not everything is a personal offense. You have some nerve being insulted by the sexuality of another person. Who do you think you are? The grand chief of what defines people as being homosexual or not? Please...
Going back to the calling you intolerant...
I didn't once accuse you of anything...at all.
I was simply saying that if PEOPLE in the WORLD want tolerance, they need to show it. The golden rule, my friend. Do unto others. It was a generalization that you took too personally.
Lets be clear again shall we, I'm not interested, indeed I'm sure most homosexuals are not interested in being "tolerated" by you or any other heterosexual person. You and I are equal because we are human beings, if I tolerated you it would imply that I thought it was my right to tolerate you as though you were inferior to me, one tolerates an annoyance or an illness or an inconvenience of something one finds distasteful.
I have no right to tolerate you, you are a human being with every right to be and do as you wish, whether I like it or not is not material.
You and I can agree with one another or disagree because we are equal, but your use of the term toleration implies a relationship I do not recognise where I ( and other gay people ) am seeking the favour of some majority with the right to tolerate or not tolerate me as a human being. No group or individual has the right to tolerate me or you in this way.
I don't care if people don't like me because I'm gay, or because I'm English, or because I'm a dick sometimes, hate me all you like, that doesn't change the fact that I am equal as a human being to those who hate me.
Now your asking that a group which is looking for recognition of their equality as human beings ( not toleration, as though they were unequal and looking for favours ) to be more tolerant of others ? Forgive me if I find that mystifying and not a little offensive.
Lets be clear here I'm not defending other people's crass insensitivity to other people, I'm not suggesting that it's right to hound people about their sexuality percentages on LPSG, but I am pointing out that gay people are people first, they are as frail, as fallible as capable of being bigoted, foolish and insensitive as any other group of human beings. What you and I share in common is our humanity and if your point all along is that human beings should be more sensitive to one another then I'm in full and total agreement with you. But if your saying that one group of human beings should bear a greater responsibility to be sensitive to others because
you think they should know better then we do not agree at all.
Why should I expect any group of people to be any more or any less sensitive to other humans than any other ?
