I don't care if you're homophobic because you think gays are icky, or because
you are just ignorant, or because you are secretly gay but hate yourself, or if you don't really hate gays but it plays well to your base.

I don't care who you are secretly or personally, what your history is or what's in it for you, if you support laws and practices that make gays second class citizens you have attacked me and my family, and you are the enemy of.

That is all.

1. The issue, for me, is
Edited on Wed Aug-29-07 11:08 AM by Q3JR4
people having sex in public restrooms....period. If people want to screw anything that walks on two legs (and can consent), it has nothing on me. I don't want to hear it, or see it. If you wanted to bring it up in conversation, though, I probably wouldn't object to talking about it (I'm open that way).

Gay people don't bother me (I'm gay myself), straight and lesbian sex doesn't bother me (I like to watch ;) :P), but grunting, slapping, and moaning noises coming from a bathroom stall (not associated with typical bathroom behavior--"typical" being I'm just here to void my colon/bladder ma'am) is where I draw the line.

I dunno, call it a fear of germs thing...

2. I remember George Micheal said something about it being a part of "Gay Culture"

in defense for his arrest a few years ago after cruising in an LA public restroom. I thought he probably did more damage to gay acceptance than help with that line.

I quite agree with you. I'm straight and the thought of a straight couple getting their jollies in a public restroom is just gross...I don't care how 'hot' or 'sexy' they are.

I'm always cool with public displays of affections from anyone, but it's just disrespectful to others and frankly extremely unhygienic.

3. One reason in a long list of reasons
that I don't use public toilets if I don't have to. Even with the papery things I find it hard, without disinfectant, to sit where someone else has.

5. Yes.
Adults should be able to keep their ding-dongs in pants till they're in a privat place.
