My Apologies to Any Gays I have offended

[JimBowie1958]

I am being serious, not sarcastic or anything other than sincere. I am expecting few to accept my apology, but here it is anyway. Don't know how much difference this might make to anyone, but I have been wrong and I am going to try and set things right to some degree.

I've known some gays since high school back in 73. I knew some in different colleges I have attended, and one in the Army. The dude in the Army was actually bisexual, but that wouldn't have made any difference to the guys in the barracks as they would have given him a blanket party regardless of whether he liked girls as well as guys or not. I never repeated what these guys told me or what I saw in their personal life; I don't betray friends, never have.

But I had this dream last night that was really weird. My friend from the Army was at this place I had seen him at more than few times, and I was surprised to see him, and went to shake his hand, but he pulled away asking me how I could use such language. I kept asking what language was he talking about but he kept repeating himself till I woke up in a cold sweat. I wasn't putting the things together because this friend used all kinds of cuss words to include every group under the sun. So it seemed confusing.

I try to not offend people that are morally neutral to me or better. It is a courtesy. I don't use the N-bomb or the F-bomb if someone asks me not to or I think someone will be offended. I almost never say the N-bomb and have never directed it at anyone personally, just used it in an etymological sense; about the word itself, taboos about it, etc.

But after I was on my way to work, it finally hit me that my use of gay related terms and phrases is like using the N/F-bombs around those that might be offended, and I know that makes me pretty insensitive, but I have heard these words used as universal insults all my life and I just had not connected the dots to realize that I might be offending third parties by my language.

So, I apologize if I have offended anyone other than the libtards I was targeting.

I am not going to use such terms again on these boards or any others if I can remember to. I do not hate gay people, but I have had a blind spot on this and I will stop this, I promise.

To be frank I still believe that any sexual relations outside of heterosexual marriage is sinful, whether its gay sex, masturbation, premarital sex, or whatever. I will never support gay marriage. But I think it wrong to offend neutral/friendly third parties and I cant move on without doing this.

God bless any of you that I have offended and please forgive me.

I would have accepted your apology if not for the bolded part.

lol, sorry, I did not know you were either gay or a libtard.

I agree, kinda kills any sincerity the post might have had..
the qualifier in the last paragraph clinches it.

You are a libtard and I could not care less what you think.

 

[JimBowie1958]

As a card carrying Libtard, I'm offended.

bah, your just fishing for sympathy; can you PROVE that you are a libtard?

I didn't think so - it's something one is born as I think.

Hey now... I said that I had a card. What more proof is there?

hearsay? Really?

Most of those that I know to be new arrivals are from Britain.

I'll tell ya. When one says "Pardon me. I have to go outside and suck on a fag" you start to lose it. OMG. Not kidding.



You have to tell them fag is not a cigarette here.

 

[tinydancer]

Pandering to the log cabin Republicans. Will they be dumb enough to buy it?

Who's pandering?

 

[tinydancer]

Ravi you post like we don't know a gay person in our lives or that we aren't touched by someone that is a lesbian or gay dude.

Come on. In the music business for years everyone I knew was gay. Hetero was the unusual.

Kiss my ass that we wander about not realizing gayness among us.

Some of the little differences in dialect can be major faux pas'

It's interesting that some people think the 1st Amendment is a one way street. It gives the right to scum bags to burn Old Glory in the street and hairy clowns to pretend that they are women. Well I hate to tell you guilt ridden metrosexuals that it also gives me the right to ridicule fake women who want to use the ladies room and laugh at a-holes who burn my Flag.

Fake women who use the ladies room?

so why do you use them all the time.

lol, thus you illustrate my contention, and don't even seem to be aware of it.

Denver had a "pride" parade today celebrating homosexuality. On Fathers day, no less. I am a little taken aback. Something a little off kilter about THAT. So odd. Have we lost all sense of balance? Why not a national shoplifter's pride day or something? Pride or shame, you decide.

Destroying a sense of balance, common sense and propriety is what the gay militants crave.

Which is why they will not accept civil unions but insist on something called marriage that isn't marriage, kind of like a 4 sided triangle.

Why is that a problem? They didn't force you to go.
And you are comparing it to shoplifters?

The problem is it was done on Father's Day to be as provocative as possible. Thumbing their noses at society, daring someone to say something about it. The gay activists demand to be recognized and respected, but go out of their way to show complete disrespect for traditional groups.

So what if it was on Father's Day.
And disrespect? Okay bud.

 

[daws101]

what! gay's don't have dads.?
no gay dads either?
i'm lol at all this anger over a holiday dreamed up by greeting card companies to make more money.
also since it's on Sunday it's not a real holiday anyway!
I guess for some people any excuse to bash gays is OK!
