Sick of all the gay

I am happy that homosexuals have come such a long way in the US, with respect to their civil rights. Acceptance of gay marriage feels like it happened overnight. 'metrosexual' is a thing... or was a fad... or something that made "gay" "cool". Congrats gays! you did very well, so far.

If someone wants to smear shit all over their face and rub up against a tree, fine, I don't care. If someone wants to smear shit in my face and bang me up against a tree... there is going to be a strong, negative reaction. I am sure many gay folks will not appreciate the analogy that 'gayness' is like smearing shit on your face.. but that is my freedom to express... just like the gay folks have the freedom to express their affection for each other, publicly, like anyone else of other sexual orientations... except the pedophiles and beastiologists.. so not everyone.

OK, so now it is cool to be gay, or whatever... I am really fucking tired of seeing it. It is just.. ugly. I find it repulsive.. like, you know, the smell of shit. My biology is programmed to repulse that which is not right for me... things are gross that are gross to me... I like chocolate, you like vanilla... all the power to you... eat that vanilla.. suck it and fuck it all you want.

My point... I like TV. I watch a lot of shows with my wife... it is something we like to do together. I am getting a little annoyed about what seems to be a "gay affirmative action" going on in entertainment lately. You can't get a new show on TV without a good helping of onscreen male on male face sucking. ENOUGH ALREADY. I get it. It is ok to be gay. Can you guys lay off the smearing it everyone's face all the time now? It's like all the back people calling each other nigger every other word... I get it, you own the word now.. good for you... does it have to be used 5 times in every sentence??

This is not really biology. It's more psychology, where you have a fear reaction to a perceived threat.

What's needed to reconcile this anxiety is the realization that you're probably not that attractive and very few gay men would want to kiss you, or do anything else. If there's no attraction, there's no threat.
 
Ya, no way would I be attractive to most gay men. My wife lived with a gay (male) couple for several years just after college, while we were dating.. I've gotten some brutally honest feedback from them. I believe the term was, "terminally straight". I didn't post this to discuss people's thresholds for tolerating what is "icky", or analyze why people find certain things icky.. I dated a girl that was revolted by the feel of someone touching her Achilles heel... she would freak out over it. So what?

I intended to make it clear this was not about justifying personal preferences.. not the repulsed hetero nor the enamored homo. The post is about what I believe has become "gay affirmative action", where the entertainment business is jamming male on male gayness into everything new... as if every household has a perfect distribution of every protected group, with the "two dads" at the center.
 
I don't watch any sitcom television. I wasn't aware there was gay anal sex in all the shows these days.

I'm just about straight as they come, but I often have to politely tell a gay friend we can never be more than friends. It's something I've just gotten used to.

Whatever your intentions, your post came across as reactionary and defensive. You are the one who noticed gay people on TV enough to make a thread about it. While gay characters in sitcoms and police dramas will not make anyone gay, in the same way the old TV show "Emergency" made a generation of young boys want to become paramedics, placing gay characters in ordinary situations and interaction with people in ordinary ways, can help us come to better understand those among us who in the past were forced into very unhappy living conditions.

Imagine if being heterosexual were a social disgrace. How well could you conceal your sexual inclinations? Would it be worth the effort, if it meant keeping your job and career? Could you set up housekeeping with a man, just so others would not suspect you of being a skirt chaser?
 
Maybe you should stop watching the Logo network all the time?
 
I have seen some vintage Playboys where letters to the editor expressed a similar stance.
*Keep those nigger centerfolds outta my porn.
*Tired of seen every magazine prove how progressive they are.
...stuff like that.

Well, the pendulum swings. They were perverted before, they'll be celebrated for a while, then they'll just become one of those things a character may or may not be, and a trait that's just accepted by the plot, not necessarily pivotal. Hang in there. Maybe you can relax when the Robosexuals start gaining rights. Or the Furries.
 
Weird that you isolate gay romances when the overwhelming majority on screen are heterosexual. Is this a point of principle, or just a gripe about what does or does not float your boat on television? Gay or straight, it's no less useless to the storytelling in many shows and movies to sidetrack with senseless romance subplots. The James Bond variety are particularly disgusting in my opinion, pandering to adolescent male fantasies of women ensnared by suave, stoic mansluts. What does it really have to do with being a secret agent?

But perhaps it really does increase revenue (I've never been sure), and that's what producers are going to push, no? I don't think people who fund or create shows are going to change their minds based on this thread, so maybe it's better just to accept you deviate from their target demographic which likes the inclusion of gay characters, just as I have to get over the fact that far too many programs will throw in a romantic relationship which have no relevance to the plot or premise of the show, and are just disingenuous and superficial attempts at having a little sex appeal as extra fluff.
 
Ya, stupid gays. Why do they have to go prancing around being all gay like it's normal or something? If they could just go back into the closet and be gay in there then it will be much easier for me to accept them if I'm not totally grossed out by seeing two dudes kissing or holding hands or whatever other perverted shit those freaks get up to. :mad:
 
Have you actually done an objective accounting of how much "male on male face sucking" is on TV as a percentage of the total? Because I'm pretty sure it isn't anywhere close enough to warrant the kind of rant seen in the OP. Complaining that the relatively small display of open gay affection represents anything more than a basic minimum makes you sound obsessed (a perception not at all helped by the vulgar analogies or the weak 'hey free speech man' justification for it).

Have you considered that rather than there being some sort of 'gay affirmative action', what's actually happening is a change in society's perceptions and the media responding to it by no longer ignoring a sizeable demographic that both consumes media themselves and whom society at large is now accepting enough of to not freak out and compare them to people smearing shit on their face?

Hey, pandering to my adolescent male fantasies was the only reason I found to watch the James Bond movies. The story line and unbelievable scenes of daring-do certainly were not worth watching.

:goodevil:
 
I find that the internet is an even worse offender in this. It's gotten to the point where you can't even type "Hardcore male orgy" on YouPorn without being bombarded with a bunch of videos about gay sex.

At some pont we need to tell these homosexuals that enough is enough and our wrists are sore so they need to stop shoving it in our faces all the time.
 
Hollywood shows you what sells. If you're seeing a lot of homosexual face sucking, then that is a comment on our society more than on Hollywood trying to shove things our way. If you don't like it, that says something about you. Maybe pick up a book? maybe a nice novel by Anne Rice or something. :D

Quit your bitching, just grind on a buttplug so you can give those wrists a break. The day you let sore wrists stop you is the day gay porn wins.

Someone told me that a lot of scenes were cut from that Tom Cruise/Jack Nicholson movie when it was are shown in theaters, but I could find the full version online. So, I google searched "A few good men uncut."" You wouldn't believe what came up.
