In other news, not even Texas is putting up with homophobia these days: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trendin...bully-after-rant-gets-physical-183349148.html
Look at my CT and profile status. ;)You can say that and the response to the bigot dude was good, but he is still a product of his surroundings and some people somewhere think gay guys are national threats. Let that sink in.
On a side note, I've had this song stuck in my head:
nah you're good(uni internet connection required? you tell me)
The guy was just an asshole. I think a majority of people wouldn't condone violence against someone like that, gay or straight.In other news, not even Texas is putting up with homophobia these days: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trendin...bully-after-rant-gets-physical-183349148.html
Enjoy the based gods known as the Scissor Sistersi just want some ear stimuli lmao
Slowest. Horses. Ever.Enjoy the based gods known as the Scissor Sisters
yesbut has anyone here see the Willam Belli...
I fucking love Willam, god dammit. <3Slowest. Horses. Ever.
Was anyone else getting an "Ambling Alp" vibe from that video? Probably because of the desert and goo-dripping-from-faces scenes.
Also, sorry if it has been posted already, but has anyone here see the Willam Belli and Rhea Litre parody(?) of the Scissor Sister's "Let's Have a KiKi", aptly named "Let's Have a KaiKai"?
EDIT: I guess I should add a disclaimer about the video. I don't know. It's on Youtube, so.
2nd EDIT: On second thought, just look it up. :P
That's pretty much what I figured, but mentally that's a hard pill for me to swallow. Sure, I keep feeling alienated from masculinity, as Woodchuck mentioned, but the more and more I feel removed from masculinity, at what point does that no longer make me male? I know that's an impossible question to answer and it's not a "box checking game", but if one of the only things i can relate to masculinity is "I have a penis and I don't mind having it" is that enough to make me male? I know for some people that is, but for me I don't know. I just really don't relate to male experiences much at all.GGengar What determines your gender identity (be it cis-male or anything else on the spectrum) is how you feel about yourself, not how you act or whom you chose to associate with or how you feel about anything else. Most of the things we typically associate with masculinity and femininity are cultural constructs, as opposed to inherent traits (prime example being aggressive behavior - males are a bit more predisposed to it due to higher testosterone levels, but anthropological studies of cultures in which gender and sex roles are markedly different from ours prove that it's not an inherently male trait). As Woodchuck mentioned, it's a case of liking certain stereotypically feminine modes of behavior and disliking behavior associated with the hegemonic ideal of masculinity. (Totally understandable - the masculine ideal we're taught to follow blurs the line between being strong and being an asshole a lot of the time, and straight-up crosses it far too often for my taste.) If you feel like a man, then you're a man, simple as that. Don't worry about the rest, dude.
Thank you, and I agree completely. After thinking about it more on my own, I've decided that even though it's difficult, I'm going to move on. I think what made this attraction different to me was the prospect of him being gay, or at least me seeing him that way without evidence.The Great Gastly I think you're just going to have to move on. All of high school and most of college was unrequited affection for me so I know the feeling. And it's going to continually happen; you find a guy out in public and you hope to god that he's gay and it turns out he isn't. Just comes with the territory unfortunately, and while I think he'd be flattered to know that you're attracted to him and stuff, I don't think that's a good thing to start a friendship on. You definitely could become friends and divulge to him later that you're definitely attracted to him, but in a friendship you can't become emotionally invested and exhaust yourself on someone you just won't have a chance with.
If you feel it'd be too hard to just be friends without falling harder for him you're gonna have to just not enter that friendship to spare yourself the time and emotional fortitude. This isn't to say that you can't love your friends, but I'd definitely say you shouldn't be /in love/ with your friends.
I wonder if it kind of means they are lazy. (not willing to read)not to mention the fact that Leviticus is deemed irrelevant by most biblical scholars because "Jesus died for our sins", and the laws of Leviticus are seen to be made irrelevant after that occurrence. Similarly, you can get specific haircuts, wear two different fabrics, and eat shellfish without being worried about being sent to the depths of fiery eternity forever! (imagine that)
Jynx, i think you'll find that there is significant ignorance among "first-language English speakers", and that just because a majority of texts are available in that language does not in any way mean that people actively go and search for them. In fact, having english as your first language doesn't even guarantee that you can use the language effectively or correctly; you personally have incredible command of the English language compared to many first-language English speakers.
Thank you for attempting to share information with people, regardless of their response - it might seem like she completely tossed you off but a bunch of these situations may cause her to reevaluate her position, or at least have it be somewhat more informed.
