and are you saying that me dating black women is like being gay? dumbest thing i've ever read on this board. and that's saying a lot. people are entitled to be prejudiced. like i said, you're the one trying to join an organization where a good portion of the people in it find what you do disgusting. you don't see me rushing to join the klan, do you? |

******************* Anywho, aside from a few colleagues and associates, I do not have any friends or close associates who I know to be homosexual. So by no means am I saying that people have to go out of their way to be friends with anyone just because. At the same time, the "some of my best friends are gay" approach is funny just as the "some of my best friends are (insert some other minority group)." |

DUH and that's why people usually have certain opinions. |

You have your own image of fraternities based on stereotypes or what you've been exposed. People have their own image of homosexual men based on stereotypes or what they've been exposed. It's par for the course. You came to GreekChat to pick people's brains and point the finger--and you're not even in a fraternity or admitting to considering joining one. :confused: I guess we all need our hobbies. |

Buddy ol' pal. :) Why would you join an organization that was inserting itself into every aspect of your life? I understand that hetero and homosexual are seen as different lifestyles to a lot of people. But when you take the biological sex and social gender aspects out of the equation, the average homosexual person who isn't flamboyant is arguably doing the same things as the average heterosexual person who isn't flamboyant. |

I'm simply responding to your statement, which was "Despite that fact, heterosexuals don't get pigeon holed and neither should homosexuals. Someone who has truly been exposed to the diversity of opinions held by people of different sexual orientations and masculinities-femininities will understand that." As someone who has been around what I consider to be a fair number of gay people, I find that though it is incorrect to pigeon hole them, they're a smaller group with some common concerns, so they certainly tend to share some common characteristics. My assumptions and experience indicate this, and though not infallible, I think it is reasonable to believe this is reality. So while saying "my fraternity believes this, and gay people all believe that, so we're not gonna take gay people" is based on some false assumptions, it is also quite possibly pretty accurate in effect. As with my first response, this wasn't necessarily tailored to your post, but your assertions seem tangentially related to the common "but there may be black/gay/whatever people who are just like your fraternity" argument, so I included that in my reply. |

that being said, many heterosexual men are disgusted with homosexual sex. that doesn't make them homo phobes or even closet gays. they're just disgusted with it. i personally find it repulsing. i wouldn't vote in an openly gay member. i'm sure homosexuals know this prior to joining. and if they think that the world is a big kumbaya camp fire with everyone holding hands, they have another thing coming. right, wrong, whatever. that's how it is. like i said, if this fool is so adamant about joining a fraternity, he/she/shim better know that many of hers/his/shims brothers will disagree with it and not want to be around it. nature of the beast, whether or not he/she/shim wants to accept it. it's their decision whether or not they choose membership. in fact, it's very similar to a non>insert race< joining a predmoninantly >insert race<GLO. now come over. |
