What if someone plain doesn't like homosexuality?

I hate anyone who doesn't like homosexuality

And dont care about their opinions. I just ignore them if i ever encounter people like that. They bore me

 

[SuperFerret]

Ironic, but expected.

What if someone plain doesn't like homosexuality?

Well, myself, Mystirious and the Pink Ranger were discussing this very topic the other week in the gay rights thread, and what we were saying was that if someone has a gut reaction to it, and don't like the idea of it, that is understandable, there are many natural things in life poeple can have that kind of reaction to. So, the best thing to do, is grow up and understand that it is not doing anyone any harm, don't look into it too deeply, let folk get on with it, and don't trun those feelings of repulsion into bigotry by voicing an opinion that you don't want to see it, and it should be banned(i am not talking about anyone on this thread btw). Because that is when it becomes bigotry, when you feel it should not be seen or allowed, just because you personally don't like it.

and if you can't find the wherewithal within you to grow up and acclimatise these feelings of repustion when it comes to other people's sexuality, at least have some decorum and keep it to yourself, while you try, hopefully, to sort it out. Respect the fact that it is normal, and that it is you who have the problem.

So... Um...

Can't wait to see Hal Jordan fighting dragons!

Hal's gonna fight dragons? Cool.

 

[Mystirious]

Dragons make everything better

Dragons and unicorns

It would be nice if all the people in the world who are racist or homophobic or sexist or etc could realise that they need to at least tolerate those of us who are gay black Jewish transgender female or anything else

And it would be even nicer if racists and sexists and homophobes actually tried to become more accepting and open minded

I hope that one day there is no more bigotry in the world and everyone can live together in peace

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Aye, I don't think i have any homophobia, racism or sexism in me, i was trying to sort out a wee bit of a homophobic reaction i had when we were talking in that other thread, when i said at first i felt a bit repulsed by the thought of two guys necking next to me in the pub, but then, y'know, i realised what the hell, just let them get on with it and don't think about it too much.

btw, i don't know how much crap i was typing up on the boards earlier today, but i was a bit on edge due to erratic sleep and illness, feeling more relaxed since i had a nap in the evening, so sorry about all the crap talking. although i think i hit out with a couple of good ones in there somewhere.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Hal's gonna fight dragons? Cool.

 

[Mystirious]

Maybe that's a Hydra

That would be even more fabulous than dragons

 

[Assassin]

Sorry if i seem over sensitive at times Ferret

I just don't like anyone who has any problem with homosexuality for any reason

There is nothing wrong with lgbt couples showing affection in real life in comics or in fanart. And there is nothing wrong with the Slashpoint picture. Its funny its cute and its fab

I'mma make it into a poster

look, i don't like **** like that. i have no problem with gays but i don't want you to take two of my favorite characters and have them become gay and **** each other. that pic offends me. just like if after flashpoint bruce wayne starts ****ing batwoman, you would be pissed. that would offend you because you would think that Kate being a lesbian is somehow bad that they had to make her straight.

you're a bigot to straights

This Nightcrawler Quote never get's old:
"You know, outside of the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I did not hate them: I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes."

 

[Mystirious]

If DC ever made Batwoman straight i would stop buying all DC products forever as it would be a moronic and bigoted idea

But no heterosexual characters have had their sexuality changed Assasin

Four of the characters on the Slashpoint fanart are lgbt and four others have been heavily hinted at being lgbt

And the straight characters like Hal and Barry are still straight in the comic books. Its just fanart Assasin don't take it so seriously you should not stress out over it so much. If DC changed Hal or Barry's sexuality in the comics I can understand why that would annoy you. It would make me if they made any of their gay characters straight. But this is just fanart you should not let it offend you Assasin. Just ignore it if you dont find it funny or sexy and dont let it make you stressed

And i have nothing against straight people. Lots of my bestest friends are straight and I am never prejudiced against someone because of their sexuality

In fiction i prefer reading about lgbt characters. But that doesn't mean I only like people in real life if their lgbt

I like you and i am pretty sure you are straight

I loves Nightcrawler

 

[Aesculapius]

Picked up Flashpoint 1 today. While I can't say I loved the entire issue, the Thomas Wayne twist is nothing short of intriguing and I will definitely be picking up the next.

 

[Mystirious]

I have nothing bad to say about the art but the story in Flashpoint 1 did not really impress me

Might read issue two and see if I like it better

 

[Roose Bolton]

I would at least check out issue 2 Mysti, it looks like it might be going more into flashpoint Batman, maybe understanding his motives more will make him a more sympathetic character.

 

[Mystirious]

That's true

I think I will check out the second issue and see what its like

Are you buying any of the tie ins Oberon

 

[Roose Bolton]

I'll probably be buying the batman and superman tie ins, maybe the wonder woman stuff

 

[HighFivingMF]

Four of the characters on the Slashpoint fanart are lgbt and four others have been heavily hinted at being lgbt

Wait... What?

 

[Mystirious]

Kate and Renee are lesbians and Harley and Ivy are bisexual

And we all know what's going on between Red Robin and Superboy and Booster and Beetle

 

[Mystirious]

I'll probably be buying the batman and superman tie ins, maybe the wonder woman stuff

I think i might check out the one about Shade the Changing Man he is a pretty neat character

 

[Motown Marvel]

But no heterosexual characters have had their sexuality changed Assasin

well, grant morrison made Beast gay....then some other writer came along and made him un-gay.....i personally hope another writer comes along and re-gays him.

 

[Mystirious]

Had not heard about that when did that happen

And I would be fine with the Beast being gay too . Though it would make more sense if he was bisexual. Didn't he have a romance with some reporter in the comic books

 

[Roose Bolton]

He's currently with a half alien green chick, atleast he was last time I checked.

grant morrison made him gay in his new x-men run. and yeah, there was some reporter chick....if i remember correctly, she's the one he came out to because she was wanting to get on him and he wasnt into it.

i just love the idea of a big blue furry scientist dude who loves the ****.

 

[Mystirious]

Whats not to love

He's currently with a half alien green chick, atleast he was last time I checked.

Oh yeah the lady who runs S.W.O.R.D in the Marvel comics universe

I dig her
