Idk about Amsterdam, but here in the New England region of America, there is TONS of support for LGBTQ Pride Parades (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning). :-D
I think more games should offer same sex in game marriage.

Well, the longest term I've ever heard was LGBTQQDPAAIS lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer, questioning, drag, pansexual, asexual, agendered, intersexual, straight.
It could be argued that transgenders have no relevance to sexual orientation, but the gender you have plays a huge role. A gay man would not be a gay man if he were a women. The way you identify your gender is crucial to your orientation. Its not just about who you are attracted to, its about your gender in relevance as well. Hell, I've even meet gay men trapped in a women's body, and lesbian women trapped in a man's body. Also, all of the parades and support groups that I have gone too include transgender support.
Sorry, that was really confusing, but the flow of sexuality is something that would take pages and pages of text to describe because its so complicated. Basically what I'm trying to say is that Transgenders should be included because gender identity takes a huge role in sexuality.
Reputation: 10I see where you're coming from, but in this it's still individual to the persons sexuality. A guy going female and likes men, would then be heterosexual and doesn't apply to the LBG community, unless he was going down the path to become a woman and liked women, because then she'd be a lesbian.
Your gender helps you define your sexuality regardless what you are, yeah. But gender should still bare no relevance to the LGB tag unless the person going from Y to X enjoys the opposite sex from the start, where they go from heterosexual to an homosexual <opposite gender>
The only take on to why I can see the T in there is because Transgender and Transexual are different. If you know the difference, you should understand what I'm getting at.
Throughout the past ex-amount of years too transgenders have kind of strayed away from the ideal of being the opposite gender in peace and decide to throw it out there, I mainly blame the ideaology of anime for their traps. Too many people aspire to be a trap and don't want to go to be an TS that they keep their package in them and live the rest of the life. In this they want special service like the LBG that they add themself on the T between the fine line so they can make a phone call if they get made fun of.
Reputation: 10You said they were trolls for their parades. Then you say 'Time for a straight fest!'
That's trolls trolling trolls lol.
Just remember.
Sexuality and stupidity are two different things.
I can understand why they want to hold parades but I don't think it's anything else other than to have fun, party and have sex anywhere they want.
The parade is fine, but it could go without. Either way, why care? They're not shoving it in your face.
Now if a homosexual is shoving it in your face like a Jehova's witness, then have an issue with the person, not the culture or sexuality.
Plus, they weren't saying that becoming gay makes you find yourself; They found themself by finding out they were gay.
also i cant think of worser bitter irony than having put this avatar and signature on two days before this topic was made
Well, I don't feel like going in a discussion on this, because with my opinion, I might as well close the thread after. But 'Plus, they weren't saying that becoming gay makes you find yourself; They found themself by finding out they were gay.' This is sorta the same thing I am saying or at least my meaning. I mean, why can't people just be happy with themself the way they are. Why all the thralala? I know Holebi-ing is around since the years of the greeks, but they are still the one calling it out and making a big deal out of it. They could have just stayed in the background and not bother coming out the closet.
See, I'm just gonna shut up next time.
Reputation: 10That's just a jerk thing to do, sayin' yours then stopping everyone from sayin' theirs. You ain' no jerk.
But that's why I always closed the topics before they got in this far. But then it was ruled in the mod forum that it would be a topic that no one should touch unless it turned into flaming, and I hope you aren't seeing me as flaming you.
I don't think it works for everyone, or in that way. For most people they usually find something wrong but either can't figure it out, which makes them feel uncomfortable in the way they always did something that they never really enjoyed, it had to conform to; But never knew what.
Think of it as if you had two foods to live on for the rest of your life; The one food you've been eating after 10 years is becoming awful, it's getting old but you have nothing else to chew. Then 2 years later you get a magic wish to try the other food and you find it the most awesomest food in the world.
The idea is to make it more well known and make it a normal thing so that people get used to it and homosexuals don't get discriminated against. They have the right idea, I just think they're doing it the wrong way.
I'll agree, yeah they make a big deal out of it.
Are you implying that homosexuals are of lesser importance that they have to stand in the back of the crowd?
People are free to express themselves however they want. That's why there's emos, fashion and all else; People express themself through communication, appearance and whatever else - Them saying they're gay lets people know they are. It's not an issue with the person who is gay, it's an issue with those who have an issue with gays.
Admittingly you don't have to make a huge deal out of it; Most people who announce themself as being gay usually do it among social networkings to let their friends know they are gay - Friends share everything together, and to say "I'm gay" is another stepping stone (or a big one) to see if they're a true friend by saying "That's okay, you have your interests and I have mine. We're still buddies."
Now a person who stripes a big gay banner on their chest and screams in a megaphone they're gay? That's the individual you should be facepalming at. Not the whole group.
If Obama supports same sex then so do I.
The purpose of pride and gay parades (especially in America) is to support same sex marriage and to help stop bullying. Homosexual teens are four times more likely to be seriously bullied two times more likely to be significantly involved in drugs and alcohol and six times more likely than heterosexual teens to have suicidal attempts (ohh snapp! i pulled out the statistics). Parades aren't meant to flaunt homosexuality, but rather to show that they have pride, and they should be proud of who they are.
Being homosexual is also a big part of someone's lifestyle. If a homosexual were to make a list of 10 things that had an impact on their life, I can almost guarantee that most will have homosexuality on that list. If a heterosexual were to make that same list, heterosexuality wouldn't be on the list.
