Silence, I just find your latest post so confusing, what is your reasoning exactly?
It seems that you are referring to a very different behaviour. Which was the problem in the use of the word FLAUNT. If you were talking about bad behaviour then yeah I agree, I wouldn't tolerate it, but if you mean that flaunting who you are - as in being obvious about it, e.g. your sexuality, then sorry, but my reasoning remains the same.
My belief is that as human beings we have the right to decency and respect period. It's not the same as condoning bad behaviour. But in Gay and Lesbian space, yeah I do reserve the right to be and say as I please, seeing that I spend my whole bloody life censoring and being aware of other sensitivites, and putting up with rude behaviour and assumptions from the straight world, which is why Gay and Lesbian space is for us to blow.
I suppose the difference is, being Gay I can see bad behaviour in my kith and kin, and know its bad behaviour, and not associate it with the sexuality.....same with Deafies, but it seems those outside these groups somehow become obsessed with the sexuality or disability of the person as well.
But here's some food for thought, have u ever wondered why Gays and Lesbians are so down on Straights?
