USMB needs a gay/alternate lifestyle sub forum

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I disagree for two reasons -

One is there are already way too many forums and sub-forums here. I think someone needs to come in here with a weed whacker.

Two, I would rather we look for things we all have in common instead of more reasons to argue and fight. Whether its men women, children, minorities, gays. More segregation isn't the answer to any issue.

IMO

First paragraph, funny.

Second paragraph doesn't reflect your posting history AT ALL

Al Gore talks about the weather all the time. It doesn't make the weather a political topic just because he does but the topics seem to start there anyhow.

Likewise every time a politician says something about gays we get flooded with gay topics in the politics section.

Many topics that are related to politics have their own sub forum so why not a topic for this?


Also, please tell Fake Jake to stop pretending he's something he's not.

Thanks

Gay issues are very in the news. While I do not think it is an awful idea for reasons different than yours, it would end up like the religion forum at most boards--flooded with atheists trolling and taunting people of faith, but in this case, people disrupting any conversations about alternative lifestyle matters.

That could easily be solved by the enforcement of rules for said forums

Are you trying to tell the admin. and the mods here that they are not doing their job?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I like the idea. We wouldnt be subjected to a constant stream of gay threads as long as it's understood that gay threads are no longer acceptable anywhere else.
Kind of like segregation.

Got a feeling howey wouldnt like it because it would limit his ability to flaunt his lifestyle in front of the hetros.

I have no idea because I don't goto the religion forum to see what others are complaining about. I consider that a forum for believers and since I ain't one I don't have anything to contribute.

I fail to see why believers get a forum but it's wrong to suggest the one I have.

The idea is a good one...the odds of it being a place where lgbt's could gather and just talk without being harassed...are high. Probably best to just not do it.

And why would they or we want a place just for LGBT's to gather and talk?

LGBT's are just like the rest of us, exactly like the rest of us?

Why segregate them?

Too true.

If I want to talk, discuss, debate, this is not the place I go to. Neither does anyone else.

Why segregate them?

Why segregate believers?
Why segregate economists?
Why segregate sports enthusiasts?
Why segregate any of the other subforums?

Your point is stupid

That is a very sensible approach, Luddly. I only wish people would take that to heart and implement it! And that is why I also called it "Censorship." When people don't want others in certain forums that's exactly what it is. And like you say, we don't need further division and segregation. If anything, we need to integrate our thoughts and see where we can find common ground. And naturally, we can agree to disagree but this blatant, tornadic activity taking place each time someone posts something someone else doesn't like should come to an end and people should deport themselves in a civil manner and hold amicable discussions without the bad language, cussing, outrage, hate, and volatile ideas being spewed forth that can only serve to alienate otherwise good posting parties. How about giving that a thought?

Well Gracie, that reminds me of the now seasoned but still great saying by Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?"

Won't work. Not here, anyway. Nice thought though.

I knew it.
Gays want to flaunt their lifestyle and try to desensitize and force hetros to accept them.

Yeah cuz it was a flaming queen who suggested it.

Sheesh.

In a perfect world there would be no differentiation.
There's a hell of a lot more to be than just being gay. In case you didn't notice, I'm not the one that brings it up all the time.

Great idea but it will be trolled by gay haters and ruined because of that.

You Betcha. How's it feel - having your privacy invaded at every corner you turn ? How do you think it feels having Homosexual [1] propoganda blasted in your face and aimed at your children and Family day and night . What goes around Cums around .

[1] [See --I can be nice - i didn't say queer or faggot]

Well now you know exactly how it feels for others to have their privacy invaded at every corner by RW propaganda. And talking about aiming at your children and Family day and night, the filthy way most of you RWers talk can be truly hazardous to young children who visit these forums. But then again, I forget the low-level, poorly educated folks we are apparently interacting with who would not post that way if they had better sense. BUT......

Well now you know exactly how it feels for others to have their privacy invaded at every corner by RW propaganda.

BULLSHIT ! There was no RW propaganda untill relatively recently - when Fox and company came on the scene - Left wing liberal socialist propagandists monopolized every MF broadcasting venue not some but every single one.

They controlled the print media ,hollywood, the education system - everything !!!! you simply don't have a friggin clue as to what you're saying my friend not a fucking clue. Kindly get one or STFU jack ass.

I forget the low-level, poorly educated folks we are apparently interacting with who would not post that way if they had better sense.

You don't like it -Tough Noogies !!! -put some parental controls on your computer scumwad.

There's no place on the board for LGBTs to discuss lifestyle related topics without a troll jumping into every thread.

The Rainbow Games are coming to Cleveland - how do you guys think a thread on that will play out on the usual forums?

The idea of an LGBT forum is just like the others in the Political section - it gives those with the lifestyle a place to talk, and on the flip side it gives the haters a place to complain.

The only way it can be a fully protected forum is to put it in the Community section.

And I care about this because? And nope, you being an obnoxious prick doesn't bother me a bit. I'm not sure why you even bothered to explain it to me if you don't give a rats ass.

And yes, you've negged me before even though we've barely chatted so I am well aware how you operate there person who feels tough on the internet.

Have a nice night.

Here's a better idea: stop being a totalitarian conservative, you can't force gay Americans back into the closet just as you can't force gay political topics to an out-of-the-way sub-forum so you don't have to see or read about gay political topics.

You and others on the right have only yourselves to blame, you made marriage access for same-sex couples a political issue as a consequence of your hate, ignorance, and desire to deny gay Americans their civil liberties.

The issue isn't about forcing gays into the closet. No one cares what they do. The issue is the gays hating anyone who does not agree with their lifestyle.
