Are you gay-friendly?


That's a good question, and don't get it wrong, not easy to answer. For try to say "I don't give a shit" as an answer... You may think that's quite neutral - but, no, my friend, that's not. That's offensive, that's bloody rude. That means "they don't bother me so I don't bother them", let's just not play with eachother and meet in our next life. Gays, you either have to love them or to hate them. There is no middle way.

Imagine yourself at some tv show with some gorgeous blonde female presentator asking you: "How do you stand about gays? Are you gay-friendly?", with a full audience ready to boo at you. You cant' say "I don't mind" or "They're fine by me". For you would also say that about a wasp as long as it doesn't prowl around your afternoon drink, wouldn't you? This answer won't convince anyone for sure. So think again.

You may come up with a powerful left-wing fashionable statement such as: "I really love them. They bring something different, a touch of feminity; they're so deep and emotional, you can really talk with them. Many of my friends are gay by the way."
But then again, where does that come from? You have to be a bisexual Holywood actress to really blend in with that crap. What if you're a heterosexual male in your fifties? People will think "he's one of them!" No, friend, that's no good...

This bloody question IS bloody hard to answer. So open bar, mates. Give your opinion.

in the first place gays are men and i'm pretty sure there is the whole spectrum of manly qualities present among them. There are idiots & artists, sheepherds and wife beaters. No there aren't any wife beaters but i bet the sum of money pierre ows to the criminal syndicate called hsbc that there are plenty of husband beaters among the gay community. Different thing: Is there a gay community? SUrely there is somewhere, caus someone has to join these parades they organize everywhere. For certain sexual preferences there seems to be an underlying obligation to join a whole lifestyle. For example if you like to beat up your girl, not in the wife-beater way but in the whip-using mask-wearing fetish way you probably need to sign in for the whole packaga inclusing: Wearing black, all black, wearing make up as a male, beeing really really skinny, listen to some kind of noisy metall music hang around graveyards and so on...
Why is that? I tell you why. Because otherwie you would face problems finding a partner with mutual interests. That's the most likely explanation why sexual preferences require to stick to a lot of behavioural codes.
You have to buy a whip as well, and i guess they are bloody expensive these days...
