First time in here, so hi everybody!

I'm a bisexual identifying as male, and yeah. Hi!

Anyways, I was wondering what people here think of this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/107821772

I'm not sure if I'm off base in my comments, or if I'm being a little harsh. Something about the way things were said set me off, though. Any thoughts would be appreciated

The ignorance and bigotry and racism in this country will end if I have anything to say about it.

And if it wont end, I will fight it no matter the cost (I think, maybe I am not that patriotic, we will see)

be god damn sure of ONE thing, the MOST patriotic thing ANY American can do is to stand up for your rights, for any person in American who's rights are in danger, as many clearly are.

You're not harsh. The one you replied to is known for bullying LGTB people since years on this forum. Heck, I may say this: Why that one isn't banned yet really, really escapes me. He does have a fitting username, though.

TBH, I don't think you said anything too harsh, or off base from what I could tell. I actually agree with much of what you said, btw.

I think you and I have had some respectful exchanges before in the A&A forum!

I am an asexual androgyne identifying individual. Seeing as you were posting in the Texas forum I am going to assume you are from Texas? I'm from West Texas myself.

I totally agree with your comments in that thread, though sadly I thought one of the later posters was far worse than that one (though my alert got that post hidden.)

Anyway, I agree with you entirely. The only thing I would add is that the poster is conflating orientation with the act of sex itself. One can have a purely romantic attraction to someone without desiring sex at all.

I like you your posts have always impressed me.

I'm actually a Portland boy myself. Born and raised, and living in Seattle now! I happened to catch the thread on the latest threads page, actually.

It's good to hear you all agree with it. I wasn't sure if I was misunderstanding something and unnecesarily attacked the other poster. After the other posts later (glad it got hidden), I'm a little less inclined to think so.

I completely agree. The thought crossed my mind, but forgot to add that in my response. I see you did later

Welcome, F4lcon!
I put my 2 cents worth on that thread too, copy/paste of some stuff I'm putting out there about the disenfranchisement of gay youth.
Hell, Falcon, you handled that bigoted bullshit with kid gloves on. This militant gay won't let them breathe if they take me on.
