As much as I would like to play it again, I really have no desire to, lol. I played it, loved it, and actually get what they're talking about.Quote:

O.K. Guys ... Please do not get offended... I have some what of a homophobia so I would just like to ask some general questions.. I really do not mean to troll if any of you have seen my other post... But I'm curious (ha.. ironic right? )
First off.. I know a lot more about the "gay" community than you realize... I actually lost some of my "phobia" by meeting a couple of "decent" gays (no offense and you can thank them at the same time)...
My question remains though... Why does the "gay" community feel the need to express themselves in such a way to go as far as to even make a thread like this with this title... How would you feel if I made a thread about how many straight guys/gals play this game? Would it not make you feel somewhat segregated?
I also understand their is a difference between a "***" and a "queer" at least in PA this is the case and I dare you to challenge one of them...
"******" tend to be more flamboyant while "**** or homosexuals" tend to be more of the "men" in the relationship.
Now I'm sure your wondering.. Why does this bother me at all... Well..
I have two sons... I couldn't picture a father wanting any more for their son than to one day be successful and marry a beautiful BRIDE..
I mean.. not to get gross... but I couldn't picture any fathers desire to be for their son to grow up and suck a ****... well.. for one.. it doesn't leave much for a man and boy to talk about in their older years... after all.. to have a son requires a bride... for you to be born requires a mother...
I guess I get confused on the whole natural order of things.. again.. I don't mean to be offensive but I am really concerned especially for my sons when they come upon their teenage years... It's becoming a lot more common and open...
Being a guy with no kids... It never really bothered me ... being a father is an entirely different sentiment..
Being a father I do not want my sons to think it is Ok.. Being a human and understanding History I could give two ****s less...
So.. I'm caught in some weird Loophole.. I don't want to judge you guys.. I could honestly care less and again have met some pretty cool guys that changed my opinion in many ways... and girls for that matter...
However.. being a father it is simply unacceptable.. How do you expect me to deal with this as a person? It's not fair as I'm sure you being judged for what you can not help is not fair..
Guidance... thoughts.. opinions?
I'm not gay and I'm not a father, so I can't speak on either behalf. What I can do is speak on the behalf of those on the outside looking in and I must say, perhaps part of the problem is the fact that you look at it this way. What I mean is that you see the sexual act and not the connection that is made on a more abstract level. Please don't think I'm attacking you in any way, and again, I have no leg to stand on as I can speak from neither of the view points that you have pointed out. Please don't think I'm attacking you. Just offering a view ...Quote:

I can see your point as far as being a father goes. You'd want the world for your kids. And society, going back hundreds of years here, has made it to where the union between a man and a woman is apart of the "social norm". Which everyone learns about, mhm. Yes, that is the traditional way that things are supposed to be handled, but in all fairness...homosexuality has been around for a very long time. It was even deemed alright in societal standards during ancient times. Greeks, Romans, and probably even Egyptians were infamous for homosexuality. Then look what happened, suddenly it is put into the minds of society that it is bad and evil, that it shouldn't be done. History tends to repeat itself. Gays are humans too, and I don't think they should be persecuted for how they are. If that's the case, then straight folks should also be persecuted.Quote:

How to teach them right from from, what views that should be taught, or even beliefs. I couldn't do that as I am not; a parent. And mainly because I don't think it's right to tell someone how to raise their children. If you are okay with homosexuality, then I see no reason as to why parents can't tell their children that it is okay for them to love whomever they choose to. That goes along the lines of race...as racism is also just as big of a problem as homosexuality. But it is definitely common for "bible" thumpers, or religious folks lol, to raise their children with the view of the bible in order. Meaning they aren't for homosexuality.
Again, I'm going off on another rant, lol. How about this. At the end of the day, you can raise your kids however you want, but that more than likely still won't stop them from having what they want. You could raise your child to be the utmost Christian, just using this as an example, and he could grow up and at the age of twenty-five realize that he is actually attracted to men, and not women. I dunno, perhaps I have way too much on my mind to be answering this right now, lol. To be frank, handle it how you see fit. It's your life, your house, your children. You teach them the way that you think is right. I don't think anyone should sway you or your wife in doing the both of y'all's parts.
Gays make threads like this because they of course want to be accepted by society. However, that doesn't always happen. By doing this, one can bring in like mannered people and can rejoice while being in the same company. All they want are people in their lives that will not hate on that for who they are and what their sexual preference is, but society does that anyways.
I'm done now..as I think that none of this actually pertains to your post, lmao. Sorry. :P
@Cynical
That is some passive aggressive comments against anyone who doesn't fit the "norm."
First off, there is no "natural order" even animals who follow non-sentient instict perform homosexual acts without any training from humans. Secondly, if you really love your sons, you should make your home an environment that if one sons should turn out to be gay they can openly inform you of this. Also, if one does come out to you, you should not treat him as something less than human for being gay.
As for this thread, we have used this to find people of a common thread, ie: gay or bi gamers, to play this game with. Personally, I don't think anyone would really need to make a thread for finding other straight men since that demographic is the primary demographic of the gaming industry.
Well, making the thread was mostly to see if any of the gamers were Homosexual, but I think a lot of us in this thread are Bisexual. Making the thread can make those who are Homosexual more comfortable with the Defiance Community if they know people won't hate them for being themselves. If you made a thread about Straight people I wouldn't mind at all, i'd most likely be posting in it and this thread.Quote:

I don't think a lot of fathers picture they're son doing that. But if it's who they want to be let them be themselves and support them. There is other stuff to talk about besides woman too.
Just ask them when you think they'd understand if they like Men or Woman I wouldn't say promote hate towards Homosexuals.
If you had two daughters would you think it's okay?
My Father for one really hates Homosexual, my Mom doesn't I still get along with my Dad just fine though.
EDIT: Maybe I should say my Parents don't really know I'm Bisexual o. o but I know my mom doesn't hate Homosexual because she is always yelling at my Dad when he openly hates them.
So I get along with him now. If he knew I dunno.
They'll get curious in their teenage years, if one of them do turn out to be Homosexuals ask them not to talk about it around you as it bothers you to hear your son speak about, but try and be supportive and show them love so they don't feel like you hate them.
I can't tell you how to raise your children, they're yours.
Plus i'm 17, I don't know much about raising kids any way o. o
Don't think about the sexual acts that go on, they're are more reasons to love a person then sex.
We feel the need to express ourselves in such a way because every day, in some minor or major way, we are told that we cannot express ourselves. Imagine having to hide your 'straightness' for no other reason other than it made someone uncomfortable. I did not choose to be gay; I did, however, choose to try and hide it for years and years because of societies norms. I don't have to hide any longer...nor will I.Quote:

What exactly is it about being gay that you don't think is okay enough that you wouldn't want it for your sons? It concerns me that you use so many absolutes in your thoughts; "I do not want my sons to think it is OK." "being a father it is simply unacceptable". We all know there are no absolutes...
Lol, I have to do it... I can't pass this up, lol. "Only a Sith deals in absolutes."Quote:
