On the topic of the mardi gras and gay people "flaunting" their sexuality, i have to say that's a bit of a cop out that i've been hearing for years from people who are homophobic
hetro people have rights automatically so don't need to have a pride parade because they already ARE accepted. Mardi gras isn't about flaunting your sexuality. It's more about being able to be free about it for one night of the year.
that argument is old... very generic and null and void, just like the old "hetero couples fight and abuse their children..." go get fucked. no, homo couples NEVER fight or, whatever... if your so "proud" to be "out", then have a mardi gras every day of the year. "out and proud", is a saying that displays personal shame at being in the closet in the first place. pride and sexuality are two words that dont go together.
just what fucking rights are you talking about ? your right to deny a child the right that it has to have a mother and a father ? dont you get it ? its not about your rights, its about childrens. when you get that through your thick skull...
your using your sexuality and also the violence between hetero partnerships as a platform. not a good start. in fact, your blowing yourself out of the water.
that is the worst start you can get off to when it comes to providing a psychological foundation for a child.
yes, ALL my gay freinds know my stance on this issue. and they respect my view. 99% of them agree that it is the height of selfishness to beleive that you have the right to, not bring, but "create" and i use that term VERY loosely, a family.
nobody has the right to push their form of sexuality on someone either. and to children ? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING.
how about we start teaching them about b and d, or maybe s and m. after all, its just another part of sexuality.
people, need to realise that they, first and foremost, have responsibility, not rights. when we get that right, well, then we will be on the right track. whatever sex, or sexual persasion, or race, or creed, or colour, or whatever you are.
