As a Christian I'm supposed to say "being Gay is wrong" as a human I'm suppose to say "whatever". As me, I say "whatever makes you happy is between you and your God/belifes." I have several gay friends who I have known since childhood. They are awesome people and I wouldn't change them. Anyway, well said Rick! Also, a joke is a joke, no harm intended. If it's funny, I'll laugh at it!Lenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-56865551225138593732010-10-17T20:10:36.799-07:002010-10-17T20:10:36.799-07:00Great post, as usual!

One area you didn't mention...probably by mistake...is the one about the baseball pitcher that pitched a sterling game until one (just one) errant pitch from him was sent over the wall(s)and is, based upon a reliable source, still going. Well actually the funny part of the story, of course, is not the homerun. No it was the 'bases' that the pitcher had to run after the game for daring to get tired and throwing that one, just one, errant pitch.

I think it creates communication and reduces misunderstanding. My friend, Orionsbow, is not someone to be feared. He is actually a good guy but speaks his mind.

Am I therefore an arachnaphobe or a herpaphobe? No, I'm not afraid of them, I don't LIKE them. I don't like brussels sprouts, soccer or the colors pink and black on a car. I'm not afraid of any of those things, I just don't LIKE them. Fear and dislike, even contempt if you want, are NOT the same thing.orionsbownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-19701289342234394782010-10-12T12:16:22.461-07:002010-10-12T12:16:22.461-07:00I believe there are shades of gay.

Some people are only gay when they have too much to drink and are starved for attention so they make out with their gf to get a rise out of a guy, some think it's fine for them to watch gay sex (ala a guy will say lesbians are fine, can I get in the middle) ....light grey. Some are "swishers" like orionsbow spoke of, or gay men and women who cringe at the thought of sex with someone on the "other team" .....dark grey. There is a whole spectrum of grey in between. Dark grey is not a choice. Light grey is.intuitivetoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-82395909666660344842010-10-12T11:15:06.576-07:002010-10-12T11:15:06.576-07:00Excellent blog Rick!

And yes, it is not necessary to flaunt it, and that goes for anyone gay, straight, or whatever! Bottom line is, who cares who someone loves?

The words "phobe" or "phobic" imply that I am AFRAID of gay people. I am not. I just don't like them. I don't like the way gay guys swish around when they walk. It looks stupid. I don't like the way most outwardly gay men lisp when they talk. Sounds stupid. I don't like the way they act like women, fuss over women's clothes and gossip like women in a beauty parlor ridiculing "other" women. I don't like the way gay men sometimes think that they're women and think it's "cute" when they preen and primp and act flamboyantly, arms and hands flailing about, hands on hips and foreheads, feigning the vapors. I think that gay men look damned silly. I am not even remotely frightened that I might become one because they're around me or that any of my strong traditional values will be placed in jeopardy because gay people live near me or get married. I just don't like them, gay men that is.

How about this one:<br /><br />A black guy, a white guy, and a Mexican guy are walking through the desert, and they come across a lamp. They rub the lamp, and a genie comes out. He'll give 'em each a wish. Black guy goes first. He wants his people healthy and happy, back in Africa. Genie does it. Mexican guy goes second. He wants his people healthy and happy, back in Mexico. Genie does it. White guy's turn. "So all the blacks and Mexicans are out of the country?" he asks. "Yeah," says the genie. The white guy says, "Well, I guess I'll have a Coke."myrtle beached whalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338457419555984753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361281865338727324.post-65772820256105067952010-10-12T08:40:19.417-07:002010-10-12T08:40:19.417-07:00I'm also thankful for the name-calling which l...I'm also thankful for the name-calling which led to a ROFL post from you! :) Damn but you're funny!
