Rule of thumb: Call other people what they prefer to be called. Call yourself anything you please.

Let's all just call each other by our names.

Portland is funny because everyone is so terrified of being labeled as offensive or hateful (even if you're not and you know you're not) that other people take advantage and push their agenda on everyone else. "You can't say this word or that word because to me it means this and it is HIGHLY offensive and hateful, and if you say it we're going to label you as hateful, we'll find out if you own a company, we'll leave tons of negative Yelp reviews, we'll blast emails out to our friends to all tarnish all your social media pages, we'll harass all the local news stations about it, etc, etc. We'll do all we can to punish you because you didn't adhere to how I feel."

Portland, where closed mindedness = open mindedness.

For all the talk about divisiveness and "hate" in the south and midwest, it's way fucking worse here. It just exists in a different form here but the way people here do all they can to fuck with you if you don't share their views is pretty gross.

For what it's worth, I support gay rights and I fully support marriage equality, but the sight of two dudes kissing makes my stomach cringe. More power to you, but it's so disgusting to see. This doesn't make me 'hateful'.

I'Anon, this rant was confusing to read. You could brush up on your writing skills, and then quit worrying about what was in and now not in.

Just continue to be a concerned, nice person, and screw all the small stuff. It's all small stuff.

BellTrolls: So I support marriage equality and gay rights, yet I have "anti-gay" views?

Your attempt to paint me as a hateful person because you disagree with me makes you the EXACT type of person I was describing in my first post. Congratulations on being all that is wrong with the hyper-P.C.-police in this town. Pat yourself on the back, you self righteous rock star you!

FWTBT... You should take it easy on assisse. Clearly he supports gay rights and marriage equality. At least until the pastor declares, "you may now kiss the groom."

Good one bro, u totally slayed me.

Try not to be overly sensitive to the current bullshit / fad of the day.
You know where your heart is.

Being gay nowadays is like reality TV, everyone has a backstory that 100% justifies How They Are and How They Got to Be This Way.

I blame Ru Paul's Drag Race

Kinda odd you would support something that makes your stomach "cringe" and that you find it disgusting.....

Something seems a little off with you assisse..

Maybe try and expand with your race thoughts and views while your at it and just see how big of a hole you can complete....

So just because my natural instinct seeing two guys kissing each other is "gross" means I should be against gay people? Why? They are born that way. Just like I never sat down and made a decision on whether I should be straight or not, gay people don't either. It's just who they are and anyone who would vote to punish them for being who they were born as is ignorant as shit. But that doesn't mean I have to lie and say "two guys kissing looks sweet! I can't stop staring! So sexy!" No. And if gay guys find straight people kissing to be gross I would completely understand that as well.

The problem with you, BellTrolls and so many others is you not only expect equality (as you should), but you then take it a step further and demand I can't just support equality, I must also enjoy watching two guys use their tongues to perform tonsil surgery on each other.

I support people's right to listen to polka, but I sure as shit don't want to hear it. I support people's right to watch reality TV, but I sure as shit don't want to watch it. I support people's right to be 400lbs and eat at McDonalds every day, but I sure as shit don't think it's a good idea.

Your inability to comprehend that someone can support something even if they don't see the appeal in it speaks to the true narrowmindedness of you and all the other supposedly 'open minded' people in this town. Thanks for proving my point.

Alright assisse, let's start over. In your initial response to FWTBT, you say...

"Your attempt to paint me as a hateful person because you disagree with me makes you the EXACT type of person I was describing in my first post."

Nothing, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, in her comment came close to validating that part of your response. Furthermore, if you read the article, the neighborhood people seemed to chalk that whole scenario up to the Childs' ignorance, not their hatefulness.

So let's back up for a minute. This post is about gender identification, not gay rights/marriage equality. After some top-notch detective work, I was able to discover who blurred the lines on the original topic. Their moniker... assisse.

As Rick Klein so poignantly touched upon, the more you type, the bigger hole you dig for yourself. You habitually confuse your opinion with righteousness. And what a nasty and unattractive habit that is.

The way you described how grotesque you find 2 men kissing made it sound as if you're tied up and forced to witness that scenario on the reg. It's really not that big of a deal. But, if that's the way you feel, that also isn't that big of a deal either. But if you insist on injecting your personal beliefs into your comments, be ready for the backlash. It should be obvious by now that your "wisdom" isn't terribly appreciated by most people here.

In summation, it appears that you're tolerant of gay rights and marriage equality, but probably not a supporter. Better than nothing for sure though, but nobody is going to hand you a medal either.

> In summation, it appears that you're tolerant of gay rights and marriage equality, but probably not a supporter.

Let me type this in big plain letters since you have comprehension problems: I SUPPORT GAY PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, TO MARRY, TO MAKE OUT IN PUBLIC, TO DO ABSOLUTELY WHATEVER THEY WANT.

The way you are trying to force me to get a boner over your homoeroticism is really, really odd. I support your desire to do whatever you want, but it doesn't mean I have to scream "AND IT ALSO TURNS ME ON!! SO HOT!!!!!!!!!!"

> The way you described how grotesque you find 2 men kissing made it sound as if you're tied up and forced to witness that scenario on the reg.

Yeah, no. Just like I hate polka (nobody forces me to listen to it), hate reality tv (I don't even own a tv), hate fast food (nobody forces me to eat fast food either), nobody forces me to watch anything I don't want. I don't watch it because I dislike it.

It's amusing watching you try so hard to paint me as something I'm not.

Gay people should have every. single. right. that straight people have. This isn't up for debate. Keep trying to twist that into "assisse hates gays!!!" but nobody is joining your bullshit bandwagon ;)

Shoulda just copied and pasted your last comment assisse. You've offered nothing new to the discussion, except your latest round of overly defensive and hyperbolic rhetoric.

The way you think "I'm trying to force you to get a boner..." definitely ranks in your Top 3 most asinine statements ever posted.

Not once have I even insinuated that you hate gays or aren't tolerant of gays and gay marriage. In no way am I trying to paint you as something you're not (double-negative I know). I'm actually trying to lure you back into reality. You know, the place where people pause to analyze what they're reading as opposed to caving into their immediate/irrational emotional reaction (no matter how far off base that reaction may be).

You're not the least bit amused assisse. You're defensive and angry. But that's what happens when you're not able to defend your opinion by any other method than twisting other people's words to suit your own sad little purpose(s).

And I don't need anyone to join my "bandwagon" buddy. If you can't see that you're even less popular here than I am (which is truly a feat in itself), than you're as blind as a 10 minute old mouse.

I've seriously never seen someone type so much while saying so little. You've still yet to name one thing about I'm "ignorant about". You're just blathering on and on about how I'm awful, yet you aren't backing it up with anything.

What in god's name are you blathering about, Lebowski? Get to the fuckin point already

^ Brevity isn't exactly your strong suit either there chuckles.

Now, if you have trouble understanding what I'm about to write assisse, may I suggest that you find someone who has demonstrated a reading comprehension level above that of a 5th grader to assist you with your review?

Please show me just once where I used the word "ignorant" to describe you in this thread, or any other where I've engaged you. Please, just one single instance. Can you find one? Nope didn't think so.

But, here's a word that describes you and your debate technique perfectly... PATHETIC.

The floor is all yours from here on out. I'll just have to accept the fact you're an idiotic blowhard and move on. It's been real. It's been fun. But it hasn't been real fun.

Thankfully, it looks like Rick Klein will be taking up my mantle. Maybe he'll experience a breakthrough with that dense skull and moronic thought process of yours.

Debate? Debate about what? WHAT are you debating? Seriously, nobody has any idea what you're upset about it. All you've said (over and over now) is that you dislike me. Well great. But what is your complaint with what I'm saying in this particular thread?

Seriously, spit it out. You keep mashing out paragraph after paragraph of nothing.

What is your complaint? That I don't like to watch gay guys kissing?

Please wait...
