Default The Double Standard

Yes. I hate those ba$t@rds (usually males) who kept on saying that "I'm ok with lesbians, but not gays".

I wish to punch them right in their faces if I want to. They are all practising double, f-ing standards. Why, on earth, that they are not tolerant of homosexuality, but ended up accepting lesbianisms? I must say they could be double standards. Why, because they want to see the boobs and the famous thing? To fulfil some more of their utmost sexual-fantasies?

I hate those chauvinists. They have drawn a circle around their legs and not knowing whatever in this world is happening. They are close-minded and not open-minded.

Why's the world lacking of love anyway? Why do people have to be selective and why do people have to hate each other because they are this or that?

Thankfully, I am blessed with open mind. I love the people the way they are. Unlike my parents and my brother who are taught that all of the Adam and Eve theory. I said, these kind of stuff are usually MAN-MADE.

Shit, even the nature did that (homosexual/bisexual relationship). Hey, I can see the whales did that. Or the penguins. Or snails and earthworms. Who cares if they like each other as the same sex? Does God care anyway about that? He loves His creations the way they are.

agh, i have to stop ranting here haha.

I think it's usually a problem with insecurities. With all the stereotypes, they could be simply uneducated pigs.

Sadly, that's usually the case. When people don't understand something they dislike it, then they hate it.
Generally.

oh well. Stand up for gay people next time something happens (I'm assuming something happened which prompted you to write this)

Hope this helps.

Well, yeah something made me write this one.

I went a local message board and found out a 60-page debate on homosexuality. Some of the responses are extremely, uh.. homophobic, and one-sided view. I was pretty pissed of these people's mentality. Maybe, these chauvinists are worst than animals. Who knows?

Well, it's really quite simple: in most cases, if you're attracted to girls, it's hot to watch them fuck each other. What I don't understand is girls saying the same thing...

Mostly the girls want a "gay man" around as their friend, and straight men find lesbians hot. If they are confronted by a homosexual of the same gender as them it's "OMGZZZ they'r gona hit on meeeeee!" Which makes them feel uncomfortable and possibly wondering if they'd like it or not, which scares them.

Exactly why I try to avoid straight guys :3 Thank god I have some who are friends with me even after finding out though XD

Yea... a lot of my gal pals wanted me to hang out with them a lot more when I came out to them :3

I know that is the aim of the tread but lots of girls like hanging with gay guys coz they can just get on with being themselves and having fun, no trying to impress the guy and no waiting for him to hit on them. Just all the good things about the guy's way of seeing the world without the stress.

Back on topic, straights who are only ok with lesbians... Pirateninja said it all. Straight guys are so full of themselves, so universally irrisistable that of course any gay guy in a 100m perimeter is going to hit on them!

These sorts of people are not really worth bothering with, and certainly not worth getting angry over. Your anger validates them, let it wash over you, don't lower yourself to their level you are better than that, save your anger for something worth while, something you can change.

The straight men only accept "hot" (usually porn style) lesbianism. But they don't have a real acceptance of homosexuality, hence they still hate gay men The women who have this view are just buying the sanctioned pack opinion, following the men because it's safer. That's the saddest of all.

It works both ways and is equally annoying:

I've had several of my female friends, including one of my best friends (who I am not yet out to), tell me that they are ok with gay men, but not with lesbians.

They are uncomfortable because they worry they're going to be looked at "in that way". This makes it difficult for me to come out to them.

Is it me, but why is it that virtually every straight girl I've come out to automatically thinks I fancy them??? And those that I'm not out to, assume that a lesbian would like them?? And who cares anyway??!!

Insecure people are lame.
I also love people who say "ghey" all the time, as if changing the spelling completely takes away the actual roots of the word.
(but somehow i feel i am off topic)
I don't know any people (personally) who have a double standard, but i am sure there are plenty of them out there. I know alot of girls who follow a rule thats "i kiss girls if there is a guy or a camera present"

In my experience, straight guys have a problem with gay guys and straight girls have a problem with lesbians. I think it has something to do with staight people feeling uncomfortable about their own sex doing another of the same sex (well of course it does) and also it goes that straight guys don't mind lesbians and straight girls don't mind gay guys. I don't understand it.
