Ok, we'd talk about it but might not know much about it and as for effeminacy, not all gays are, rather like straights there are some who act normal, some butch, some scream and rave (they're usually the ones people notice and see on TV). Anonymous sex can be fun, as can committed relationships. Objectifying bodies is pretty much across the board - just check out the popularity of porn on the web and in advertising.Nutcracker said:franc kaos said:Well, without heterosexuals, there'd be damn less wars, raping planets, ethnic cleansing and stupid threads. Yeah, we might die out quicker (unless we came to some arrangement with women and turkey basters - course, we'd have to cull any hetero leanings out). Then we could have poetry, and artwork, and beauty, and we'd all lounge about in our Greco Roman fantasy world discussing quantum physics and the dreamlike quality of reality.
And in reality most women above a certain IQ prefer gay men because we don't batter them (1 in 10 statistics are made up on the spot).
As to gays being intellectually superior, i think you'll find that's not the case. Their celebration of effeminacy makes them in general far shallower than others - they are obsessed with style and appearances over real substance (between finding their next piece of ass in the public toilets). Id say they probably objectify their own sex more than straight men do the opposite sex.
Fantasy as in lounging around silk laden rooms in toga's eating grapes from hunky slaves, though I do seem to recall reading that their armies would take same sex lovers - it's what promoted loyalty amongst the men (tho I could be mistaken).As for the Greeks and Romans, they were not homosexual in the modern sense. The practice was of older men taking young teenage male lovers. This was a temporary thing, and relationships between adult males were frowned upon, much less forsaking women to exclusively pursue other men. If Alexander the Great knew that there were "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" types trying to claim him as a gay icon, he'd rise from the grave and skewer them on the spot with his spear.
The only reason I stuck my oar in was someone asserted that homosexuality was a disease and it pissed me off. If it is, there ain't never gonna be a cure! Be proud, be loud, be heard
Mind you, I'm still enjoying Oblivion, so there's pretty much no hope for me...
