Yeah. Personally I don't have any problem discussing homosexuality, even with my friends, which is odd, because we engage in all the typical teenage male machismo chest-thumping and male chauvinism. But I can see how it would be hard for some to talk about this sort of thing. I live in Brookline (home of the homos) and have a gay friend who likes to greet with an embrace (he's a little awkward), so it takes a lot to make me feel insecure.

yes this has greatly unveiled posters.

I;m more concerned about their perpetual dancing than anything. Why is it that gays must always dance and prance? And why do transgenders always use excessive makeup? Really, important questions.
yes in some cases there is some interesting behavior. I covered this in many of my posts. AND of course different people have different reactions to interesting or unusual behavior. Which is their natural born right

which brings us back to what I have been talking about in regards to matters of the topic. but it appears to be over the head of some

there is nothing odd here and you will discover that more and more as you gain experience in the real world

Well not all homosexuals 'dance and prance.' It's a stereotype like any other, and there's obviously some truth to this, but of course it doesn't apply to all like every stereotype. Consider the 'metalhead' stereotype, jocks, goths, 'wiggers' etc. People are always going to be partial to their influences.

No. You've been talking pretty much the whole time about whether this should be allowed in school and how being disgusted by lgbt people is natural and right.
Also, I think speed was joking.

The dancing and prancing stereotype of flaming gays comes because those are the most visibly gay people. A lot of gay people, you don't even realize they're gay, but the flamers are clearly gay, so that's what you associate with homosexuality.

Don't forget that another good way to discover and learn things is through an education!

At this point, I don't even think you can interpret your own words.

And yeah, shaving your legs is completely different from shaving your beard right?

This thread is a hoot.

Absolutely not. I expect the women who I date to shave both, thank you very much.
