Sadly ( for homosexuals) nobody cares about them, because they're making a big deal out of their sexuality. What if I started something called "Straight Pride"? Would I get much of a following?

Here's something homosexuals will have to accept: Nobody cares about your loose ass.
And where's the discrimination Mr "I won't pass judgment on you because I am teh holier than thou"? It's discrimination that I don't give a flying rat's ass about them shagging each other's bums?

Because gay people think that they have to make us accept their bull shit so then they can feel special about how they shag each other and how that's oh so special. The rest of us who have sex the normal way evolution intended live such mundane lives compared to them, the oh-so great homosexuals. If you're homosexual, good for you, God/ Darwin Bless You, but it's time for you to realize, no one gives a shit up the arse.

Not at all. I'm about as atheist as them come and I'm not at all against homosexuality. I don't see anything wrong with it, and you may not see it as normal because you are blind to reality. The way I see it people should just be able to live their lives the way they wish to without confrontation from conservatives who were molested by daddy when they were young so they take out their anger on people who are "different." You are right that they can't reproduce, but still help us out. Gays can't reproduce, so many of them turn to adoption and save many kids from that. Most people never think to help a human life out like that. Before you go out fucking every hot chick, think about how to help the living now. And besides, where would the world be without lesbians making shower sex videos!?!?!

As long as they don't block the streets when I'm trying to get somewhere, I don't give a shit. Of course, the same thing goes for any other group. By God you can have your stupid get-together in a stadium or at a theme park, or in bars, but stay the fuck off the streets. It's real hard for me to get where I'm going by driving through a bar. You CAN use the bar, I can't. Stay off my fucking roads for your "we're so desperate for you to recognize us we're going to inconvenience the fucking city to rub your nose in our deal" parade. Do your bullshit on private property and stay out of my way. Have a 1,000,000 man circle jerk if you want, just don't cost me 30 extra minutes of drive time for your shit. And that goes for whatever your dumbass cause is.

That's still pathetic. It's excellent and I encourage you to be proud of your race and background, and how you helped build your country, but when you parade your sexuality around because it's not accepted because it's warped, yes, I will say it would backfire. It's arrogant. Nobody cares if you're homosexual, no one really does. The fact they feel they have to parade it around is what makes them the arrogant society destroying sons of bitches.
Well, I know what you're saying.  Again, I think the parades are probably a bad idea, but some people do care what your sexuality is.

Take, for example, the case of Matthew Shepard...  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Shepard

They cared enough to kill him.  Some people react very violently toward gay people.  It's also why we have the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.  Apparently, it really does matter in the military too.

Add to this the reactions of the Religious Right toward gay people (like Ted Haggard before his outing), and you have a situation where there will continue to be issues connected to being gay in this society.  As long as these issues exist, so will the parades.

Of course that's ridiculous. But I didn't just talk about slurs did I?  I talked about assault and murder and attempting to codify discrimination and bigotry into our laws. I talked about how people in this country take it as a matter of course to refer to homosexuals as sick deviants and constantly portray them as such.

Unless the government is killing them or assaulting their rights, or if the people in general were assaulting their rights, I don't see how you can call them oppressed.  There are no sexuality discriminating rights in this country.  You're a guy and you want to be married?  Marry a woman.  A straight man can't marry a straight man, so how is a gay man's rights assaulted if he can't marry a gay man.  Love isn't part of the law buddy.
I see, so because they have the right to make the same choices as you and only the same choices as you, their rights aren't infringed? How the fuck does that work? Shit, how does anybody even manage to seriously arrive at that conclusion? And whether you like it or not, I'll point out that a few decades ago, I could probably find some fuckwit telling people "Blacks are free to marry other blacks, they're not oppressed if they can't marry whites. Love isn't part of the law buddy.".

Awwwww, should we have a big pity party for iamangry, because the persecution he's subject to is the most awful special persecution in the world? Tell you what, sir, if the persecution you experience lends you no insight into the plight of others who, like yourself, are treated like shit because of something about you that is an integral part of who you are, if it does not give you a window into the world of other people who are trod under by society for no good godsdamn reason, then I don't have an ounce of sympathy for you. I have a pretty good idea what it is you're speaking of. I'm also pretty sure that people aren't banned from marrying, adopting children, assaulted or murdered for it. That doesn't mean you or anyone like you deserves to be treated like shit, but you've ironically managed to find the other position that deprives you of the support of other people, that being "My oppression is worse because (insert reason here)". You know what, pal? I get treated like dirt constantly for my appearance. People look at me with suspicion. Sometimes I get hassled by the cops. Employers don't think I'm competent. I know for a fact that all of it would go away if I changed how I dress, cut my hair, covered up my tattoos. However unlike you, that doesn't make me say "Oh you homosexuals, if only you'd behave like society says you should, you know, the society that says you're all sick filthy deviants, then people would treat you better.". It makes me understand that someone like me, I have it easy. I can make some simple alterations to my appearance and I'd never have another problem again. Other people don't have easy options like that. So not only do I not take the easy way out, I damn sure don't demand that other people make radical changes to their life when I don't have to do the same.

So there's no difference between a permit-holding parade on a planned route and "they clogged a major thoroughfare with a thousand of them dry humping", gotcha. Because that's all a pride parade is really, especially if you're talking out your ass because your only experiences with one are what you hear second-hand from people who want to shove homosexuals right back in the closet and aren't above lying to accomplish that goal. As far as the "battle with the common ignorant man", you don't win that by following the advice of the common ignorant man. The common ignorant man considers "flaunting your differences in our faces" as an acceptable definition for "you exist".

I don't know, maybe they're not worried about making people comfortable who are going to dismiss them out of hand at first glance anyway. I know I'm not terribly concerned about that. I do think you're missing the point of the pride parades though. It's not about "Please, please like us and accept us!". It's about people saying "This is who I am. I like who I am. It's okay for me to be who I am. It's okay for you to be who you are too, without fear.". Like many other things in the world, it ain't about you man. It's people who've lived through some serious shit and other people made bold by their example. It's people who don't want to spend the rest of their lives dominated by fear and so they take one single solitary day out of each year and let go. It's people who are what they are and feel, rightly so, that they don't need to spend their entire span on this planet behaving in a fashion meant to pacify people who fucking hate them. That's why they call it "Pride" and not "Subservience".

Got some bad news for you then. Evolution also says that if you have the genes for cancer, heart disease, diabetes, neurological disorders and a whole host of other physical disorders, it's out of the gene pool for you too. Evolution doesn't just give a "get out of genetic obsolescence free" card to you just because you've been the beneficiary of some medical or technological work-around that's prevented you from shuffling off this mortal coil and allowed you to remain part of the current human breeding stock. Why is it exactly that you or anyone else gets to continue to pass on your defective genetic material to future generations and then claim that others are unfit from an evolutionary standpoint? Because they can't breed between themselves? Well you'd better head on down to the nearest fertility clinic and tell them to knock it right off. Because they get sexual pleasure in a fashion "evolution" didn't intend? I guess you'll be swearing off getting blowjobs from now on. But look on the bright side: you can rest securely in the knowledge that your judgment of them isn't based on the supposedly transcribed dictates of some desert nomad tribe's invisible sky-god. You've managed to come to the same idiotic conclusions all by your lonesome.

Why? Why the fuck not? Though to be honest, I have several gay friends and relatives so it is pretty personal. Sure, I've known some homosexuals that have been utter shitheads but I know it's got jack to do with who they sleep with; the majority of them have been okay ranging up to wonderful people and I get tired of seeing them just get blanket condemned by people too stupid to think in anything but absolutes. Besides, I'm some anonymous lines of text on a bulletin board in one little corner of the internets; as such I really don't have a lot invested in hiding anything personal (outside of that which would be stone stupid to reveal, like my home address or something) about myself since I stand to lose nothing. It doesn't really matter if some other anonymous lines of text starts calling me "queer" or something dumb like that. So, not gay, just sympathetic and understanding to them. Also on the honesty angle, I'm not really arguing this particular topic to change minds since I know nothing I do here stands much of a chance of changing any minds. I mainly do it on the off chance that anyone reading this board that might be gay themselves will see there's at least one straight guy out here that's willing to step up for them.

The new Superman, Jonathan Kent — who is the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane — will soon begin a romantic relationship with a male friend, DC Comics announced Monday.

That same-sex relationship is just one of the ways that Jonathan Kent, who goes by Jon, is proving to be a different Superman than his famous father. Since his new series, Superman: Son of Kal-El, began in July, Jon has combated wildfires caused by climate change, thwarted a high school shooting and protested the deportation of refugees in Metropolis.

“The idea of replacing Clark Kent with another straight white savior felt like a missed opportunity,” Tom Taylor, who writes the series, said in an interview. He said that a “new Superman had to have new fights — real world problems — that he could stand up to as one of the most powerful people in the world.”

The coming out of Superman, perhaps the most archetypal American superhero, is a notable moment even in an age when many comics have embraced diversity and are exploring pressing social issues. Batman’s sidekick, Robin, recently acknowledged romantic feelings for a male friend (not Dick Grayson — who was Batman’s partner for over four decades — but Tim Drake, a later replacement; there are multiple Robins just as there are multiple Supermen). And a new Aquaman comic stars a gay Black man who is positioned to become the title hero.

Oh no. They can't keep making characters gay. This will make a lot of men very uncomfortable. You spend all day at the Nebraska ammo factory and come home to relax in your comic book room only to be assaulted by seeing this.

On the one hand, superheroes have always been pretty gay, and the continual re-invention of story arcs and reboots and resurrections make it less of a problem to say "there's a Blaquaman now". I also get that seeing themselves represented is important to some LGBT people, but it does strike me as a hollow, hacky direction and make me roll my eyes. I don't read comics though, and realistically, the people I know who are into them are way more likely to not be conservative.

I think enough of them care to make noise about it that it looks that way, but probably isn't. Probably shares a large part of a Venn diagram with the unwashed demographic of people who will make thousand-page threads angrily deconstructing Harry Potter fanfiction. Of course they get worked up about stuff like Muslim superheroes and "blackwashing" rofl.

It is too bad though that so many roles are hand-me-down. Comic books too unimaginative to write something new for various ethnic minorities and lgbtx.

Also too bad that there's infighting between people who dress like superheroes at convention centers, and gays. Both of whom are frequently targeted by sensationalist rags.

nerds are the new mainstream, i hardly think they're at risk of being picked on. the status of nerd as some 'endangered minority' or 'high-school bullying target' is a bit 1980s, wouldn't you say? nerds now control the midfield, chap. everyone likes lord of rings, game of thrones, harry potter et al; everyone gets excited over the 'MCU' or argues incessantly over DC movies; adults in office places trade geeky rick & morty jokes or big bang theory lines or whatever; everyone is, of course, extremely on-line and techy; and even the most normal of young adults plays fortnite, watches twitch and goes to the park to piddle about with pokémon go.

for someone whose thesis is 'every group is out for themselves and wants to gain control and dominance over the others', you're weirdly blind about the nerd subculture and how plain nasty and venomous it can be when kicking down on other groups. hello? gamergate? feminism/portrayals of women? portrayals of minorities? now portrayals of homosexuality or bisexuality? each and every time, whether it's ghostbusters or star wars or superman vs batman, there's a legion of angry, vituperative, man-cave dwelling shitposters who are there to pile-on and abuse people (normally on your favourite left-wing LGBTQ+ network of choice, twitter ...)

the point of my post, really, was that a group which has suffered much malign treatment over their history, and who have generally banded together to protect their subculture and hobby, as well as beseeching people to understand and be inclusive, should perhaps have some sympathy with the other 'misfits' of society when it's their turn for some of that inclusivity. but there we are. as it turns out, nerds are particularly precious and protective over their fake made-up children's entertainments.

and, once again, it comes down to a similar issue as KJ raised with you w/r/t BLM: why is it that you care more about fucking fictional entities and pulp comics than gay rights or representation? superman isn't real. excluded or oppressed minorities, with histories of abuse and discrimination, are real human beings experiencing real harms. you got totally outraged about a few convenience stores and ignored the point of BLM, and now you seem to think that a cartoon portrayal of two fake superheroes schmooching is a life and death matter. i don't know how to describe that other than as basically immature: you are lost playing games of adolescent-tribal chestbeating, and totally disconnected from the adult world of empathy and understanding (and imaginative empathy, seeing other POVs and so on, is surely part of the whole point of culture, isn't it? other than all the castrated, childish wish-fulfillment stuff that cucks like you get from superhero schlock).

lots of the classics have scientists as main characters btw. what an utterly moronic and misguided comment. yes, let's rewrite, er, frankenstein, with a scientist as the main character! make u think!!!  can you actually name me many classics where 'arts hipsters' are the main characters? i mean, use your fucking head for god's sake. or are achilles, odysseus, hamlet and macbeth all 'arts fags'? theatre production companies have been casting non-white actors as shakespeare characters for decades; there are now whole lectures and symposia on 'transgenderism and queer aesthetics in shakespeare'; and you don't see literary folks getting upset about it. perhaps because we are adults, consuming content for adults, and you are still a fucking child?
