OK so maybe I'm being touchy and I know I will get flamed
BUT I gotta ask folks -

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH ALL THE LESBIAN AND GAY THREADS?"

Did anyone ever think for a minute this might be offensive to our Gay and Lesbian brothers and sisters who post here?????????

I mean Geez People. :(

21. what I don't get Jimmy Jazz
Is a lighthearted post about Bulemia got you pissed and you let the person know - but this stuff you seem to have no problem with.

I don't get it.

35. I would because that most of the people posting in these threads...
Are actually gay and they not only aren't offended, they are having a good time with it.

If they aren't offended, why are you?

Because bulemia is a serious illness and people are SUFFERING from
being bulemic. I'm not saying some people don't struggle when they realize they are gay, but it isn't a disease.

Besides, look at the sources of the jokes: It's not like the gay people on this board don't know how much we love them.

I'm kind of equating this as being more in line with, let's say, someone having their name mentioned in the subject line of 200+ threads in the span of three months.

2. Yes...you're being touchy, quite frankly.
As you know, I'm gay. And this gay man thinks these threads are fun. There's not a hint of homphobia in any of them. They're all good natured and all in good fun.

Don't worry about it. :-)

20. You know what
I don't give a flying fuck what any of you think about me. Sometimes some of the people in the Lounge can be the most insensitive bunch of children I have ever met.

Grow up!

46. Apparently, Skittles, she didn't read...the SECOND freaking post..
where I said we...the gay and lesbian people here...were NOT offended.

But apparently I was speaking in another language...
