I just got rejected last night

[Axel]

Your sexuality is probably the biggest novelty on the forums at the moment, so enjoy it while it lasts I suppose lol. If it can be enjoyed that is.

That's tragically sad. Apparently some people haven't gotten out of their den long enough to realize all the gay people around them.

[J@3]

We don't even get girls here

[[Q]]

I guess Axel fits in pretty well then. We're just a bunch of guys that talk about games where a bunch of big, grown, mostly black men bounce a bunch of balls and slap each other and have jump balls and loose balls and back door plays.

My mind's telling me nooooo... but my body... my booodyyy's telling me yeeessssss!!!

[benji]

I am not opposed to symbolic representation. In fact, I have a rainbow bracelet although I do not wear it all the time. I wear it simply to show that I will not allow the closed mindedness and hatred of others dictate the freedom with which I live my life. It's not to flaunt out that I'm gay, or to force it upon others. It's also for recognition, though not in the way you might think. Recognition among other LGBTQ people. I don't wear it with the heterosexual people in mind. It's to help identify and find similar people.

Oh, I know, and have no problem with that. You surely know of the type of people I am talking about however. It is not just gays, although it is a lot easier to choose to be gay than my other examples, it is people who like to constantly inform you they're black, left-handed, so tall they have to squat to pee, etc. People who need to indentify themselves only as part of a group, and not as an individual.

I have so many friends who are afraid of coming out because of the consequences it could have. They are afraid to have a real relationship because that would mean that those close to them would find out. So instead, they resort to having sex with multiple partners to try to fulfill their needs. I fear for them because that just means that they're putting themsleves at risk for STDs - and so much of this could be avoided if they were only free to express themselves as they would without hate.

Well, I think people should be free to hate as well.

I am of the mindset, that if someone is going to judge you or hate you for something like that, they do not likely deserve a relationship like you anyway. How many people keep things from people, to their detriment, or whatever completely unrelated to sexuality?

I guess Axel fits in pretty well then. We're just a bunch of guys that talk about games where a bunch of big, grown, mostly black men bounce a bunch of balls and slap each other and have jump balls and loose balls and back door plays.

Don't be so presumptuous as to think that you're the reason they act this way. Most gay people I know try to take on the persona that straight people 'dont exist' so they can avoid being judged. If they are seeking recognition at all, I'm sure it has nothing to do with other straight people.

I don't understand this. Those super annoying gays/fake gays I describe seem to want attention from anybody, not just straight people.

: The man of the moment finally comes into the game! Axel is ready to rally his team from behind.
To those who just tuned in, Axel is very intelligent player who knows how to execute a perfect backdoor play. He doesn't only have great fundamentals but he also knows how to show some razzle dazzle with his beautiful behind-the-back passes!

: Referree Jae puts the players in place by reminding them that the forums is a sausage-fest!

: And a great halftime performance by Qballer of his rendition of an R.Kelly song. ( )


No offense Axel. You know I've gots e-love for you. If you're offended, do tell, I'll gladly stop.

[J@3]

Axel is ready to rally his team from behind.

thank you than you shadow. i practiced hard for that.

Boomshakalaka!

[Axel]

... and I have since found someone who really likes me.

Things are looking up!

[killer_cr0ss0ver]

... and I have since found someone who really likes me.

he's gay too.

[maceo24]

Not to beat a dead horse here, but gay men and women are some on the most well rounded, human beings on earth.

Those of you that say you dont personally know someone who is gay is either completely oblivious, or in absolute denial.

[Matthew]

I was bought up a Jehovah's witness, but I'm not anymore. I was bought up to think being gay was wrong, so that's definately in my mind and still my mindset. However I haven't ever looked into it enough to form an opinion on it myself, and probably wont because it's just something I don't care about. There's way more important things in this world than wondering if/why someone is gay.

I could argue with you about how you obviously have formed opinions on gay people just by the way you talk, but I'm not even going to bother.

You're not going to bother because he was brought up in a religion. Why, that's not very open minded of you.

[el badman]

You're not going to bother because he was brought up in a religion. Why, that's not very open minded of you.

Yeah, because religious people are definitely known to be open minded and welcoming of concepts that go "against" their precious book.
Indeed, that'd be pointless to argue...

Uumm... Thanks for pointing that out?

[Matthew]

And your post is just oozing of open mindedness.

Hypocrite.

[Sauru]

i am still unsure if this thread is a joke or not. if not then who the hell cares if he is gay?

[el badman]

And your post is just oozing of open mindedness.

Hypocrite.

How is an agnostic person without any of the religious standards and obligations less open-minded than a god-fearing freak who's the first to judge everyone and cast the first stone on "sinners"?
What a dumbass

[Matthew]

You can't even see your double standard which I guess explains it.

You label anyone who is religious as someone who is quick to judge. You say it is pointless to even have a discussion with someone religious.

Just look at what you said earlier: "Yeah, because religious people are definitely known to be open minded and welcoming of concepts that go "against" their precious book.
Indeed, that'd be pointless to argue... "

You see nothing wrong with that statement.

Imagine if Riot, or anyone else said the following:

"Yeah there's no point in talking to some gay freak about sexuality or morality that go against their precious lifestyle."

That would be labeled as homophobic amongst other things.

However, when you did the same generalisation about religious people its A.O.K.

That is a contradiction and it makes you a hypocrite.

Deal with it.

And for the record, I'm not religious and I couldn't care less if Axel is gay. I just find it amusing that he, and you, play the ignorance and close mindedness card when you both display the same exact ignorance towards religion.

[benji]

That assumes all non-religious people (you know very well what I mean BK) do not judge or give value to anything. Strangely enough they continue to be human, and thus do.

[el badman]

Imagine if Riot, or anyone else said the following:

"Yeah there's no point in talking to some gay freak about sexuality or morality that go against their precious lifestyle."

While it wasn't worded this way, this is exactly what's been going on in this forum, learn to read.

Deal with it.

Okay, I'll try. Thanks for the tip
I think my eye sockets actually hurt from so much bullshit.

That assumes all non-religious people (you know very well what I mean BK) do not judge or give value to anything. Strangely enough they continue to be human, and thus do.

Again, not what I said:

who's the first to judge everyone and cast the first stone on "sinners"

If you tell me that religious people are less likely to be the first one to judge (and bash) with overall topics such homosexuality, alcohol, sex, or drugs, you definitely need an exorcist or something.

[benji]

So, it is not stereotyping and closedminded to assume that because someone is religious they will be the first person to judge someone?

What about those who claim to ascribe no value to anything, they're usually the first to accuse someone of intolerance or not being open minded.

And you tell me to learn to read . Of course it wasn't worded that way, because it wasn't worded at all! I said imagine if.



You still can't see your double standard you hold to others and yourself. Not good.

If you tell me that religious people are less likely to be the first one to judge (and bash) with overall topics such homosexuality, alcohol, sex, or drugs, you definitely need an exorcist or something.

So if I have a different opinion to you I need an exorcist, and yet you claim to be open minded.

"o0o someones pointing out facts, my eyes sockets hurt from so much bullshit"

[el badman]

So, it is not stereotyping and closedminded to assume that because someone is religious they will be the first person to judge someone?

Unfortunately no, it's simple observation of everyday life.

[Matthew]

Actually it's a generalisation. You're saying anyone religious is the first to judge.

I'm glad you live in la-la-land. Ahh, ignorance is bliss...
