I'm straight, and I support the Gay Agenda.
To me, the "Gay Agenda" is nothing less than the desire to be perceived as a human being, and given the same respect and rights anybody else has.

I was discussing "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" with some less-freeper-esque coworkers, and the uber-freeper across from me spat out that such shows serve only to promote the Gay Agenda.

Why is it the freepers think people can choose to be gay, and are afraid their kids will "turn gay" if they actually start treating people different from themselves with respect and tolerance?

2. Is that the problem
that they are afraid their kids will turn out gay? I can sure think of worse things. They might turn out to be REPUBLICANS!

23. Yes
They seem worried that the only thing preventing their own kids from becoming gay is the stigma currently associated with it.

It doesn't seem to reach them intellectually that people generally don't choose their sexual orientation, and most gays couldn't fathom being sexually attracted to women any more than they could fathom being attracted to men.

16. WHAT????!!
Oh.... I see you're throwing them off. Good move. Keep them thinking that we don't have a secret handshake, makes them much more available for when we take over the world. Good bluff, dwickham.

Oh by the way, "the goose flies at noon". Pass it on to our comrades.

38. Secret handshake?
I always thought it was a secret hug. ;-)

Was is Shakespeare or the Bible that said "To thine own self be true?" Most quotes come from one of those two.

I'm approaching an age where sexuality is someone else's business - and theirs alone.

Ma (almost asexual and thinking of starting a minority movement. LOL!)

I can't stand small-minded, petty, bitter, mean-spirited, intolerant, ignorant, hate-filled people. I avoid them like the proverbial plague.

Yeah, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is resposible for turning little Jimmie into a big ol' flaming homersexual.

Good gawd these people are fucking idiots!

I'd love for some nut job to please explain to me what the hell is this so call 'gay agenda' is.

You notice that these chicken shits don't have the guts to say it to any gay man or lesbians face.

13. You know The Gay Agenda
To turn this country into a nice, respectable, place where differnces are worshipped and people can live in peace. That is the gay agenda.

I am still pissed cause I had to drive to VT. cause I wanted to be ther for my sister. Stupid conservatives

9. Glad you're on our team
I'm probably not an example of the typical gay activist, but I want to have the same rights as anyone else.

I hope that we'll get there soon but I do not require that that road includes marriage. Any civil union recognized by the government would be enough for me.

My point being--there is no agenda! The only agenda exists in the tiny little minds of the freepers, who probably aren't gettin' any.

19. I'm straight and I don't understand why we need a Gay Agenda!
Only because Gays & Lesbians are just like me - they live, they love, they make mistakes and they have needs. Because of this they should have the same rights, the same benefits and the same respect as what straight people have!

We need a human agenda that says everyone is created equal! What Bush & the Neo-cons are doing with this stupid constitutional amendment is putting us back into the 1940's. Will Frist next pass? - a law that says we can create bathrooms that says "Straights Only" and force the gays to use some outhouse out back???!!! To be honest, they would if they knew they could get away with it. I vow that I will fight to ensure that that gays & lesbians are treated as the equals that they are!

46. Color Me Baffled...
That sounds totally sane to me.

I mean, what *is* with these Right-Wingers who get start frothing at the mouth when even the most innocuous attempt is made by the rest of us to treat gay people as our fellow humans? So gays and lesbians want to get married? More power to them; I find it admirable that any couple is willing to make a public commitment these days.

As for the slander that gays "want to destroy our families", how does that work? Most GBLT just want to be left alone; I don't see militant homosexuals knocking on our doors and exhorting us to convert. My own marriage was broken up by a heterosexual dalliance, and I don't see Falwell, Robertson, Bush and all denouncing straight males.

Folks who have a morbid interest in what other adults are doing in the privacy of their bedrooms need to find a hobby. I suggest quilting or cooking

33. The way people have been talking about the 'Gay Agenda" lately,
I began to wonder if I'd missed something (it happens often enough), like news that gay people had to all sign some kind of document or contract. Yep, the real Gay Agenda just sounds like the Human Agenda to me. In fact, it sounds a lot like a part of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

Wonder who they'll blame next? 'cos they've just about run through every possible group already, though they're so unimaginative that they'll probably just start over again on the same list.

36. Let's see....
1. Wake up and go to work.
2. Lunch at that trendy new coffee shop.
3. After work, buy a nice bottle of wine. (preferably merlot)
4. ANTIQUING!
5. Re-arrange the furniture.
6. Ask partner if he/she thinks you've been gaining weight.
7. Kiss partner and go to bed.
8. Repeat as necessary.

There's your "gay agenda". :D (yes, I'm stereotyping in an effort to be humorous)

In a nutshell, it's about being treated as a loving, caring human being, while going about your life. I fail to see the problem.

37. That's because you're a rational human being
I fail to see the problem.

The only problem is the conservative bigots who make an issue out of it, because some miscreant wrote that "men lying with men" is an abomimation in the eyes of god in Leviticus, 2000+ years ago, and somehow they think 2000 year old bigotry makes it more respectable.

Because freepers are nothing but ignorant, hate-filled morons! I only wish that closed minds came with closed mouths.

Thank god that opinion is shared by the Gouvernment and most people here (we have civil unions and gay marriage in protestant churchs is possible).
(I live near a gay quarter, so it's sometimes strange for me, it's cool however IMHO; many liberals and no lack of cafes and cinemas )

44. There's a hilarious bit about this in the unreleased Mr Show movie
"Run Ronnie Run", where David Cross' Ronnie Dobbs character meets Scott Thompson at a big celebrity party and makes a remark about the secret homosexual conspiracy, and it cuts to this bit where Scott radios Patrick Warburton at Gay Headquarters and they shut it down because Ronnie "knows" about the agenda. I can't remember all the details at the moment, but there's a Bruce Villanch lookalike with a "skin flute" in there somewhere.

47. An agenda of acceptance and celebration? How dare you!
That infringes on the poor persecuted Freeper's right to live in a world full of bigotry and double standards.

And, of course, freepers are just so attractive that they can't help but attract homosexuals. It's not that freepers are in denial or are ignorant, hate-filled idiots. It can't be that they fear anything they can't control. It's not that they're voyeuristic tyrants with Napoleon complex of the genitals. That just couldn't be it, could it?
