Or how can we ever use the bathroom in peace again knowing that George Michael is still on the streets? ;D

I think you all need to stop the anti-gay comments. It's basically the same as saying words like N*GGER or RETARD, because gay people are born with it, it's not a choice; if you wouldn't choose to become gay, why would anyone straight? It's one of the rules in any web forum you go to.
Men don't get PMS; gay men are just another example.
And George Michael's incident wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for a straight cop pretending to be gay, which happens a lot, even though it's illegal, or should be.
You know gay high school boys(mothers' sons) have the highest suicide rates? They pretend all their lives, but it gets leaked out and they get pushed around and hated, or even have their safety risked just trying to get an education. All because they try to please people like YOU and they can't. :\'(
And it's not like straight people don't get into fights. Why is it ridiculous when gay people fight, but you get upset when straight people fight?ÂÂ
Also, if you're wondering about the pink triangle, it's because it's a symbol that was burned into captured homosexuals'(or accused homosexuals') arms from Hitler during the holocaust, so you have a straight person to thank for that.
I really wish you would try to learn about something/someone before you make harsh assumptions about them. And you don't have to be gay to support, there are other straight men and women who do support the community.

Since I posted this, Christopher, I think I should try to defend myself. My comments were not in the least anti-gay. My previous comment on the bathroom was in reference to the incident where Michael "allegedly" saw a straight cop using the toilet. Being gay is one thing. Being a total sicko like Michael is another. If I were that cop, I'd given Dear George a butt kicking regardless of his sexual orientation.
And I strongly disagree with your assertion that gays are born that way. It can be nothing more than a choice, like abortion and alcoholism. Gays are not born that way, unlike blacks and other minorities who have truly suffered for the crimes of others. I am sorry if you feel otherwise. But I likewise don't condone the discrimination and torture of homosexuals based on their choice.
And Mark, you are a better man than I. 8)

Dude, it was a f*cking joke. I don't need a lecture on tolerance. I'm a bisexual half-breed (Mexican and White) who is overweight and married to a scrawny Asian. You don't think I get sh*t thrown at me? I know all about not having people accept what I am, but I STILL make jokes about it. So sue me. Wait, you probably would. :P

And I strongly disagree with that. You can be born gay. It's not a choice that comes to you in the middle of your life. It's not a trendy thing that everyone wants to do. You are born with that thought in your head. You can't help who you love.

You said that you CAN be born gay. Does that mean that some males are born with XX chromosomes? Anyway, my opinion is that science has not proven the link between homosexuality and heredity. Not saying it isn't true, but science is an undependable source for human behavior.

This was originally a pop culture thread, but it's hard nowadays to separate the entertainment industry from politics. Maybe it's best left to the "experts".
I respect your choice, but I can't make that choice. Both of these "entertainers" are in the wrong and has nothing to do with gender.

The ONLY time I had a problem with gays is when they said they wanted to be treated as equals but then they also added that they deserved special rights. That is all I want to say about this ;)

Actually, it's been proven that biologically, men DO go through hormonal "shifts" on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, so in a way, they CAN go through a PMS-like period ;)
I can see how that is true.. do none of you guys ever feel very angry for a few days... ???

In all fairness, I think you should re-read what you wrote at the end of this post. You unfairly made assumptions about other posters on here. Comedians make a living on the lives of others and I'll be the first to guarantee that you laugh at many of their jokes. The world is seriously hateful already, let's take a breather and just chill.

I gay people are born with it, it's not a choice;
I am lesbian, but it certainly WAS my choice. I was NOT born this way. Some might be but I tire of people that say we are all born this way. I've been here for some time now and have never had any problems with anyone here. I take the jokes with a grain of salt. When i tell a polish, mexican or black joke it is just that a joke. Some find jokes funny, those who don't, well that is thier choice. Being blonde and lesbian, I even TELL blonde/lesbian jokes!

I don't mind at all. I was 20. I had dated guys and already had sex but realized I felt an overwhelming attraction for women. I "experimented" with my desire and found out I preferred women. Again, though I believe that people can be born gay, it does NOT mean all of us are. That is what angers me sometime. I "Chose" to love women.

Hey,that's your preference and I respect that.I don't know how I got into having a lesbian fetish but last night I was watching this HBO Documentary called Pornucopia "Same Sex" and the lesbians really turned me on when they were referring to girl-girl sex.Have you heard of Pornucopia on HBO Late Night? ???
