That was wonderful!

[oceanofconsciousness]

"NeedHim." LOL!

I love how the Christians bring Jesus into it. Like Jesus is anti-gay and is going to cure them.

When Jesus was alive he hung out with a lot of men in dresses. Hello.

[Iwpach]

meh don't worry about it,the next generation of people born from a union of homosexual partners will clear all this up.
Oh that's right,well uhhhhhm nevermind then...

[Jason Abdon]

The only people that need conversion are christians and moslems. They should be deprogrammed of their religous superstitions immediately.

[thefooligan5]

what about jews, hindus, buddhists, etc.?

[larmarch5]

I think the buddhists are cool on this issue.

[TierraDelFuego]

Listen dahlings, it's just sex, no matter who or how you do it with. Take away all the Christian laws, influence, and history and you have a civilization that works very well. Remove the same structures of Islam and Judaism and it would be a very peaceful wonderful world indeed. Think about it bobbikins and have a pink cosmo and contemplate doing it in the road, and remember Tierra when you FB and twit, and sing, I did it my way.

[Scarborian]

Well, that's the Gay minority cleared up. Now let's work on rescuing the religious right from their obsession with other people's lives.

[Scarborian]

Maybe they can work at converting Latinos and Asians too.

[emerson7]

that's already been tried for hundreds of years....it's called colonialism.

[Usama]

There are too conversions TO homosexuality. Its done through gateway gay sex. And people who talk about 'love'? All men whomever they are, have strong lust drive from puberty until their 40s. Whether they have LOVE or not is far less certain than their lust simply to engage in sexually gratifying behavior. Calling anonymous gay sex in clubs, bathhouses, public restrooms, as LOVE would be a stretch.

Its well known that hetero men lust after youg women, preferrably of legal age, but the NBC show To Catch a Predator would show that increasing numbers of men will go for underage girls.
The same applies for men who prefer men: they lust after young men, some lust after underage boys (also established by the NBC show). And these young people, lacking sexual experiences, have to be 'converted', or initiated into gay sexual culture just as in straight sexual culture. So joke about all you want, the reality is clear.

[yukitotomo]

Your statement makes no sense. If people needed to be "converted" to whichever sexual orientation they are, then they wouldn't have sexual attraction before this "conversion" (or they would be experiencing a sort of latent bisexuality). This is patently (and obviously) false; people experience sexual desire as a natural effect of their biological processes. Also, "gateway" gay sex? Are you attempting to say that all young people are in effect bisexual and simply waiting for some sort of sexual preference to be written on them? If such were the case, then gay people who had never met an openly homosexual man before coming out would simply not exist. I had never met another gay person before I admitted my sexuality to myself; by whom was I converted?

Not to mention, by your very same logic heterosexuality is also an enforced situation. I would ask you to question the billions of people out there, straight or gay, and see if they were somehow "turned" to their sexual orientation by "recruitment."

Finally, not all gay men have anonymous sex. And, those that do, don't call the relationship they have with "hookups" the love of their lives.

[Scarborian]

Wow! Following your logic, 50% of the population would be gay if it were not for the gallant efforts of the opposite sex to seduce as many young folks as possible. So the tramps are doing god's work by making heterosexuals and the abstainers are sacrificing many young lives to the demons of homosexuality. Yes, that makes a lot of sense, I don't understand why the churches should be encouraging abstention while at the same time bad mouthing homosexuality.

[larmarch5]

Predators are bad people, whether straight, gay, bi, sexual or egotistical.

[emerson7]

...you're joking, right?

[Proud Bay Man]

Women, let me think about that for a minute. HA!

[mainemomma]

The sad thing is that there are really people that think this way. That folks wake up one day.. and decide to be ridiculed, attacked, denied rights.. and a host of other major challanges. Just for who they love.

But the right wing is not concerned with love.. they are obsessed with who you sleep with. They are totally focused on the 'wild thing'..... which is why Larry Craig types abound in the GOP. It's not about playing pokey..... it';s about emotions, and love.

[ssfahrer]

Love is, IMHO, really an illusion... There is ONLY lust....

[JoeSchmuk]

Say "The Word" Beatles, Rubber Soul.

Think it's the other way around. Lust is the illusion, Love is what's real.

[etfp]

i'm sorry. i'm laughing at what a homosexual demon would seem like.

the hilarity is in the details.
well dressed.
great cook.
able to party until 6 in the morning (on a tuesday) and be at work at 8am the next day
loves mimosas

for some reason, this demon seems pretty awesome.
they shoulda kept him in.

[MaggieMamacat]

If you really want to know what a homosexual demon would look like, check out an episode of True Blood (HBO). The character of Lafayette is way too cool and awesome to be an ordinary human.

[larmarch5]

Tom Cruise?

[okila]

I Love America!!!!! We hate the gays yet every Sunday from August to February we watch men in tight pants throw a "ball" at each other and try to knock the other man on the ground and mount him(or he gets away for a touchdown").. Or Men in shape in shorts who chase a "ball" and throw it in a "hole". And it looks cooler if you "slam" it in the hole. Or A man who holds a "bat" and hits a "ball" out of the park. I could go on and on with this. Homophobes are not scared of Gays. They are scared of themselves and their thoughts. Dont knock it till you try it.

[thefooligan5]

Well, you're attempt to smear fans of sport as homophobes sort of fell on it's face. What in god's name is sexual about throwing a basketball into a hoop? Oh, hehe, the word 'ball' is in there. Naughty.

[missviv]

Lacking a sense of humor, eh?

[Rj Petrucci]

Only a bisexual can be "converted" ..... the whole issue with Sexuality is people (men) dealing with their bisexuality.

[MaggieMamacat]

Yes, tho I wouldn't call it conversion so much as suppression. A bisexual can be emotionally bludgeoned into locking half their sexuality into a box and locking it up with shame and self-hatred. They will then fling themselves into a heterosexual relationship and constantly protest that this is the only thing they want. Doesn't sound like much fun for anyone involved.

[thefooligan5]

You don't think a bisexual person can eventually fall into a monogamous relationship? It's really no different from a heterosexual man in a monogoimous relationship who swears off all other vaginas.

[Christopher Clasby]

The source material is genius. The host is whatever.

[Balzac]

Far out. The men hugging on the couch are weird. They must still be gay, although they're in denial.

The dude with the tennis racket seems like Norman Bates. What did his mother do, leave him in the rectory with a pedophile priest? Or is he just a sicki who hates his mom?

Are boys who get molested by men more likely to be gay? Is that correlation implying causation or is it just a correlation?

Why do people want gay men not to be gay? Seems like a racket. These men who are repressing their gayness are probably going to act out in some way. Steer clear of the guy with the tennis racket. I hope his mother has a restraining order.

Where did the term of being in the closet, or coming out of the closet come from?

[ladyvader]

I got this from Wiki.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_closet

"The word "closet" was first used to mean secret or unsuspected as early as the 1600s, but not in relation to a person’s sexuality. Closeted also came into use around the same time and meant to keep something hidden or secret from others. Closet case, closet queen, or closet homosexual began to be used during the middle of the 20th century to mean that someone was hiding their homosexuality from others. Similar terms used around this time period were canned fruit, cedar chest sissy, and dry queen, which have now fallen into disuse."[5]

The closet, as it is now used, dates from the 1950s post-war United States, when the deliberateness and aggressiveness of heterosexual enforcement increased. "Gay people in the pre-war years [pre-World War I]... did not speak of coming out of what we call the gay closet but rather of coming out into what they called homosexual society or the gay world, a world neither so small, nor so isolated, nor... so hidden as closet implies"[6]. In fact, "using the term 'closet' to refer to" previous times such as "the 1920s and 1930s might be anachronistic" (Kennedy 1996).[7]
