[quote=@Tulpa] [@Eklispe] Newsflash: You are a homophobic bigot. [color=red]rude[/color] Yes, you can be a homophobic bigot and in the same sentence claim to be our ally. (By the way, it's up to us to decide that.[color=red]Seems fair[/color] Not you.) I cannot assume your sexuality, but I know for fact that you randomly jumped into a conversation about gay rights issues and immediately act as if you know more about my sexuality and culture than I do myself.[color=red]False. ???[/color] (Note: Everything science has discovered of all sexuality shows that it is predetermined at birth.[color=red]source[/color] Also, both of what? There is no alternative to explain what you are talking about when you say "both."[color=red]You can be biologically like certain people and also mentally think you like certai people. EX: some people, though biologically inclined to like a certain gender, may feel that doing so is wierd because of society. Thus you don't 'prefer' those poeple yet are biologically inclined to do so. [/color]) In this specific position, making such a comment is completely inappropriate and yes, homophobic.[color=red]How so?[/color] You do not have a position of authority to talk down to me about this topic,[color=red]Never said I was, though I'm curious as to who you think you be.[/color] or make a comment about my manners.[color=red]Obviously I am since I'm doing so.[/color] It is very typical behavior, and one that comes up whenever gay rights is being defended. Some person who is probably straight comes in and dismisses the concerns of gay people and silences their voice.[color=red]Silence the who what?[/color] What do you view as rude in my post?[color=red]Probably all the things I pointed out as *rude* in red text[/color] Why is the focus put on my manners instead of the very serious concerns that I have as a gay person about how gay and trans people are treated on the Guild?[color=red]Cause I don't care about that and wanted to point out you were being aggresive and rude.[/color] It's typical homophobia that occurs whenever a gay person steps out of their designated position in society and actually speaks up for themselves.[color=red]I would've done this to anybody who was rude in the same way.[/color] I don't have to explain myself or answer to you,[color=red]Never said you do.[/color] nor do I have to defend my sexuality or the very science of sexuality to you.[color=red]Never said you do.[/color] Nor do I have to defend my integrity and "manners" in this thread.[color=red]Never said you did.[/color] Your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topics I am discussing.[color=red]Correct, I was simply pointing out it was rude.[/color] If you were smart, you would butt out and not reply.[color=red]rude[/color] In fact, I wish you wouldn't reply to this and realize you are in way over your head.[color=red]rude[/color] No, I will not be the "nice" little gay. I will be the one loud gay person, who speaks out of place and questions society. I don't care if you and everyone else behind you comes in to crucify me for it.[color=red]Jeezus who said anything about crucifying? Calm down.[/color] So excuse me for being "rude."[color=red]Okay[/color] However, these are issues that effect me personally and many of my friends, some who also partake in creative writing - in a world where gay fiction is purposely excluded in the publishing world, where gay authors have to fight twice as hard to have their fiction published and gay characters are deliberately killed off in the Roleplaying world. So yes, perhaps I may come off as "rude" to [i][b]you.[/b][/i] Is it because I take you out of your comfort zone and make you realize that discrimination is a thing that exists?[color=red]Nah, I just think you're rude[/color] Am I not allowed to discuss issues that are important to me and my people without being "corrected," or having my sexuality be explained to me by a hetero, or having my wrist slapped because I was too "rude"? [color=red]Go for it. I just thought I should point out that you were rude. You do whatever you want[/color] Fuck that,[color=red]rude[/color] and fuck you too.[color=red]rude[/color] How's that for being rude? Asshole.[color=red]rude[/color] [/quote] If you reply again like that I'll go to PM since I don't want to get this thread shut down again ^.^
