No Homo?

But I still stick by my first statement, noone should live their life assuming everyone is trying to offend them.

But then they can't be victims.

This. This is my problem with how the gay community acts. Always like a victim of something or other. Who you want to be with is your decision and you should be afforded the right to equal things.

Guess what we all get made fun of in some form or another. Or have some sort of fun poked at us. Most of it take it what at what it is light hearted fun. And not turn everything into a crusade.

I use the term. So what? I have no problems with my sexuality. I'm not homophobic. But I will use this like any other internet meme because I feel like it.

Also, I guess thats what she said, Calling someone a milf, or FAIL should be on this page too. Youre not special just being lumped in with the rest of us

I've never claimed to be a victim. And truthfully, I've had it pretty easy. The worst I've experienced was guys yelling at me from their car (and the crime I committed was walking down the street holding my partner's hand).

However, my partner has not been so lucky. He's been beaten up twice. The second time he ended up in the hospital for several days. I'd say there is something going on beyond "needing to toughen up".

Because nobody is repressed in this society, right? The people who claim to be oppressed are obviously just playing the victim card.

There is lots of evidence showing women are still oppressed. I witness it constantly in my 90% male dominated degree. And most of my friends are guys. And they have all kinds of terrible oppressing women jokes. And I still laugh at them at times...depending on who says it and when. All of them would stick up for equality at a drop of a pin if the topic ever came up. Like I said, it's all in the intent. Life is no fun when you don't appreciate the ironing. I mean irony.

Yeah, that pretty much says it all. I had a gay, Wiccan roommate in college and we would deliberately say the most offensive things possible about one another's religions/sexual proclivities. At the end of the day, if somebody seriously went after him for either thing, I would happily ask them to step outside. If somebody means to offend...be offended, but otherwise, try to ignore it and go on, I say.

Buy a firearm. You have the right to defend yourself like everyone else.

I think it's just because, at least in this era, men sort of get uncomfortable around gays (or at least that's what I've noticed). So just to clarify, they say "no homo" to make the other one know that they aren't homosexual. Meh, personally when people say something like "I love you no homo" to me, I say "I love you too lots of homo" back even though I'm straight.

The point is that having to clarify their sexuality so they are not perceived to be homosexual reflects the perception that there is something wrong with being homosexual.

Not necessarily - people don't like to be mistaken for what they are not. I'm like that too and so are you and everyone else.

Yup, that's why I make sure to say "no vegetarian" when I eat a salad. I also say "no hetero" when I compliment a guy, and "no chef" when I cook. Sometimes I walk up to people on the street and tell them a list of the things I'm not. It doesn't last long though, but as they walk away I'll say "no stalker". Just to make sure they know.

No better oppression stopping power than a 44 magnum to a violent sexist back alley murder rapist's chest.

Wait, are you advocating violence against yourself?

Absolutely, I just hope you understand...if we forget about that for a second and dropped all the idiots off the earth who would ever F*ing do that to a human being....and we dropped the people who are frightened to death of perfectly normal people just because they grew up being told they should be...there's humor in stuff...

And I understand that you're offended by it, and I'm ok with that. I'm offended by many things I know I shouldn't be. I only break the necks of those who know I'm offended by it. I'm likely to still keep my terrible ironic sense of sarcastic humor, though I didn't say "no homo" to people I'm sure I've said things to offend people, but if I knew that someone was offended by it (especially for good reason) I'd go out of my way to never mention it around you. But if I did say it, I'd mean it in more of a "I am not hitting on you, I am complimenting you, I have no intentions, etc" then a "being homo is not alright" kind of way, it's not wordy, to the point, ironic, just like I'd make it clear if I was talking to a guy who figures I'm hitting on him...which I constantly have to clear up being constantly surrounded by guys...constantly lol. And I have a dirty sense of humor, and I have a terribly sarcastic ironic sense of humor, so I'll probably clear up the situation by saying something inappropriate...which may make it worse...which I may regret...but I still find the things I find funny funny, just like I cracked up when the girl said "lots of homo". It's off the wall ironic, I love it. I'd be blind to the negative side of things.

Tell you what, if you see me barreling toward you with duct tape and a napkin drenched in chloroform, I wouldn't blame you if you shot first and asked me to stop second.

Lmao! Wow, you have a plan of action already in place...me thinks.you are experienced in barreling at women with chloroform drenched napkins and duct tape. Lol...kidding! Couldn't resist.

I hate it when people say that!

As a gay maybe I was being to sensitive to the term. I wish people would use it less but when I see it I won't get so up in arms. Anyway hope you all have a good night. And baby I was born this way.

Yay someone got through to someone lol. I truly am sorry it offends you, and I'm not saying it's not with reason. But I'm glad to see that message.

I say it (the "no homo" thing) occasionally, intended purely as a joke in a light-hearted manner. I also say lots of other politically incorrect things, mostly because "political correctness" makes me want to puke. With that said, I don't say such things to people who I feel would take them wrong or be hurt by them. There's a difference between being "politically incorrect" (which I am) and being mean/hateful (which I'm not).

One can be politically incorrect and still have regard for common courtesy. I can string profanities together in various creative ways that would make a sailor blush; that doesn't mean I do it indiscriminately without regard for where I am/who I'm around. How I talk when I'm sitting around drinking beer with my buddies is different than how I talk when in mixed company and/or among people I'm not as familiar with. That's not a matter of being "politically correct", it's a matter of respect and courtesy.

Not directed at the OP, but I do think there are too many hyper-sensitive people in the world who spend too much time finding ways to be offended when no such intent existed in the mind of the "offender".

No offense taken. As many who have read or posted on this thread, I'm actually not easily offended and hate politically correct garbage too. I just had seen the "no homo" thing once too many times and I posted more in a reactive way. I should have thought better and just let it go.
