I was saying that if even something as terrible as the Holocaust gets mocked (which happens unfortunately), then I should expect that some guy on here would mock my example of a gay man being dragged behind a pickup truck. A terrible thing. Made possible by an culture of ignorance and fear. And mocked here. By you.


My joke was not based on your comment about a gay man being dragged behind a truck, but on your comment that no examples exist of gay men beating up straight men. You are correct, however, that I attempted to bring some levity into a serious conversation. It is often my way to try to lighten the mood, and if you or any others were offended by this, I do sincerely apologize. My comments were not intended to offend.

Now that I apologized for my joke, I do have a serious comment:

Blue's comment was not one of hatefulness or intended harm, but one of ignorance. He never said he had any sort of hate for homosexuals, but merely associated being gay with being a sissy.

From where does this misconception come?

We all know that there are exceptions, as I know some homosexual men who could kick my arse (I know a few homosexual women who probably could also). However, a large percentage of gay men who are openly gay portray themselves as very effiminate and sissy.

With such self-portrayal, is it Blue's fault for thinking this way about homosexual men? Whether wrong or right, this is not an uncommon perception of gay men. I would say the gay community owns at least some of the blame for this perception. Why do they allow the effiminate gays to be representative of their lifestyle. If I were a gay man, it would piss me off for other gays to act that way, just as it pisses me off when other southerners continue to add amunition to the incorrect perception of us.
Perhaps more masculine gay men should come out to do away with this perception. Perhaps more athletes coming out would help. I don't know, but I do think the gay community has perpetuated this perception.
I have never understood unnaturally effiminate gay men anyway. If you are trying to attract other gay men, why act like a woman? If a man is attracted to this effiminate type, he should just find a woman who enjoys anal.
In short, Blue wasn't hating on anyone just because he can look at another man's hairy arse and find love (thanks Sam Kennison), he just doesn't want a sissy on his team. His mistake was his generalization, but thanks to the gay community, every gay he knows of may be a sissy.
