    Weird. This past weekend, I was driving somewhere to film my ItGetsBetter video, and I was talking to my friend/videographer (who's straight) about the stuff I heard and dealt with back in the day. I said "One thing I haven't heard for many years is that America CAN'T accept homosexuality, because the acceptance of homosexuality causes civilizations to crumble. People used to say 'Hey, look what happened to the Greeks and Romans. It's not that I hate fags, it's just, y'know, I love America more.'" He was flabbergasted by that.

    Nice to know the idea ain't dead.

    Oh geez.

    I almost died with some of those people's comments, especially regarding how homosexuals will be the downfall of America.

    First off, where did they get their statistics from? Especially the "7% of Americans are gay". It's more like "7% of Americans polled admitted to being gay".

    I also like how they made it seem that the "One in teen teenagers are dating someone of the same sex" was just a fad or something. One in teen teenagers are dating someone of the same sex because the latest generation (ie US!) have become more accepting than that of past generations.

    Thanks for the entertainment... my oh my how I love some people :wink:

    Actually, I have heard this rather recently. I like to point out the Roman empire conquered the world all the while accepting homosexuality, only to fall after embracing Christianity and doing away with its pagan ideas of homosexual acceptance :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    (That's not meant as a disparaging remark against Christianity in general, by the way. Just as a way of showing how wrong that theory is)

    Can we all just agree that the Roman civilization fell because of the lack of fabulous people?

    We'll just forget the fact that the Romans didn't overextend themselves, become corrupt, go from a republic to a dictatorship and got conquered by barbarians. And forget that Greece was conquered by Persia. Obviously it was all because of DEM GAYS. :icon_eek:
