[metamltwggloakp]

I changed teams last week, and let me tell ya the ladies are fabulous! I can't believe all the years I wasted on men. I mean gosh all of us women are always complaining about how men in general aren't as interested in love as us yet we still go after them! OMGGG women know what women want, it's a fucking win win. Women are bit annoying at times, but damn I can get the emotional closeness I desire easily with a woman! Men are cool friends! I love life and now the ladies.

[SmokeyJurnt]

so you know how i can get with 2 bi chicks?

[nukester]

@metamltwggloakp -throws up-

[maximusthenotoriousg]

Not to break this intense political discussion kids, but what song is this? lol

[kskelt]

I really want to know the song too! I've been looking for it for ages now!

[hrcmedia]

the song is called "Love Can't Wait" by Ayiesha Woods

[kskelt]

Thank you! :D

[sangojap]

Thank you for your response, I am trying to learn through everyone and their comments. I suppose I just can't grasp the idea of why someone would want to change the natural course of life. I must disagree with you on something though. I am straight because I chose to be straight. It really is a choice. If homosexuality was normal and just another natural way of life then why is it such a big issue? It has always been an issue and that's how you know that there is something wrong with it....

[sangojap]

... and I chose to not go along with it for that simple reason. Now I will admit that I don't know anything about the history of homosexuality, when it was started, or by whom but I do know that if it was so good and if was something that "JUST IS" then the human race would accept it as such. But those people who stand up for the little morals we have left in this world will not justify homosexuality because it is a symbol of everyone who disagrees with the way life should be...

[LiberalPrincess]

Geez, you're ignorant. Homosexuality was accepted in ancient times, before the Bible. Homosexuality itself is not an issue, but the intolerance of ignorant people that label it "unnatural", even though there are a wide variety of species that practice it. And besides, the human race doesn't find it unacceptable; just homophobic people that can only support their arguements with scripture. Your arguements are very weak. You really need to open your mind and educate yourself a bit more.

[palacioed17]

Great video...hey the guy at the end looks a lot like Peter from Family Guy.

[sangojap]

Homosexuality is not natural. If it was then u would see animals pairing up with the same sex. If it was right then it would just be another part of life. But its not, and everyone knows it. Thats why there is a constant struggle in society about it. I think that homosexuals are choosing this way of life because they are confused and lost. Some soul searching would do them all good.

[opennskyy]

Some animals, like dolphins and sheep, DO pair up with the same sex, you dipshit! Do some fucking research before flaming people, asshole.

[sangojap]

Flaming people? Why is homosexuality such a sensitive subject? Its very easy to understand:: Two men or two women are not meant to live their lives as a husband and wife do. There are many forms of a "relationship" but trying to go against the natural creation of things is just plain wrong.

Thats why not everyone will accept it. Luckily there are still people out there who know whats right, and just. You know what I am saying is true.

[opennskyy]

No, I don't, idiot. You're just an ignorant bastard. Members of the LGBT community WERE CREATED how they are, they don't choose to be what they are. What you're saying is NOT true at ALL. LEARN SOMETHING.

[sangojap]

Created? As in they didn't have a choice? I find that hard to believe. Everything we do in life is of our own FREE WILL. Whether its right or wrong, WE CHOOSE TO BE THAT WAY! You can't tell me this is something that 'Just Happens'. Your making it sound like homosexuality is some type of disease these people caught. When in all actually they are just people who are trying to go against the natural order of things. You cannot force this type of decision on someone. I repeat: FREE WILL!

[sheslikethis]

And I repeat ...retard!

[sangojap]

is it now retarded to research something like this? theres no need to get so angry.

[skycibul]

Sangojap.

On which day did you choose to be straight?

Im sure it was the same day i chose to be gay.

hmmm.

[sangojap]

being straight is something that comes natural, the choosing comes into play when you want to go against whats natural. so when you choose to be gay you are choosing to go against whats right. whether or not you acknowledge it will depend on your character.

[xgonnaneedabodybagx]

hmmm...i pretty sure i chose to be gay when...ermm...actually, no, im positive i was born like this. because i canNOT, no matter how hard i tried before, see the appeal of a man in a sexual way. sorry to burst your bubble =\

[sangojap]

you may think so, but how do you know you didn't CONVINCE yourself of that. as a newborn you don't even know what gay is, but by instinct you do know that man+woman is good. its when your mind develops enough to make those kind of decisions that you CHOOSE to be gay. you cannot justify the theory that people are born gay, prove it to me! my proof is in basic principle, nobody needs to convince a child that being straight is right, but they won't understand what gay is because its not meant to be

[xgonnaneedabodybagx]

erm. i was raised by a single father, a transexual, and a lesbian couple that lived in the same apartment building. i never knew man+woman was good. i knew that love was love was love. im perfectly sane. i dated guys when i was younger, and they are not my cup of tea. i have many male friends, but as far as romance goes, i prefer females.

i would really appreciate it if you would accept that gays are different, and stop trying to tell us we're something we're not.

[sangojap]

I know gays are different, but that doesn't been it's a GOOD different. Did you know that the first few years of life will determine how people end up as they mature? Being in that environment might have given you the impression that there is no right or wrong when it comes to love, But as far as marriage goes, 2 men or woman being together in that way is wrong and always will be. Theres no way around that. There are many ways to love but to have a true marriage you cant break those guidelines.

[heathbaygal]

Two men or two women being together in marriage is not wrong. I think it's wrong when a heterosexual coupl is only married for 2 months or 3 weeks or 1 year. To me that's a wrong marriage. I use to have gay neighbors who have been together for 24 years! They are now married, and I will tell you that what they have is not wrong. It's beautiful. I'm straight too, man, but I swear like in the other persons comment you are very ignorant. Being gay is okay. Just ask my sister.

[sheslikethis]

Okay! why the FUCK did you even watch this video if that's how you feel....retard!

[sangojap]

Well, since you asked so nicely. I've never heard of it before until someone mentioned it. I researched it on youtube and this is what I found....

[aprayerheard]

We are fighting to have people understand US and how WE feel the same way you are some how trying to make us "understand" that this is a "choice". The only choice we are making is to be honest with who we are. I CHOSE not to be honest with myself and everyone else for years because of things like this, your blind ignorance. If your religious/scientific beliefs in which make you feel this way said being STRAIGHT was wrong, would you be gay? If it was natural to be gay would you lay with a man?

[sangojap]

If it were natural to lay with the same sex then there wouldn't be a problem since it would be considered normal and right. However, in reality, its not. I am trying to portray the simple principles of right and wrong. Your choosing came into play when you decided that being straight wasn't what you wanted, even though your conscience knows that being gay is not right. You chose to stray from the natural order of things and live life against what is right....

[sangojap]

I wonder though... why risk that? What is wrong with being straight? With letting life resume the way it should? Was your natural life so bad that you had to take extremes to make yourself feel better? When in the end you are only going to feel worse than how you started off..... What leads people to be gay?

[smooth0707]

You all realize that being gay is a birth defect? Its a disease that makes you confused as hell, and a sexual deviant/freak.

I'm sorry if you were born that way, but why would I care?

[blackmetalqueer]

at least being queer is a fun birth defect...

[HeathersArk]

smooth0707 - bith "defect"? Ummmm....if it were a birth defect the government and society would sheild the LGBT community rather than shun it and treat them like 2nd class citizens. As a citizen of a free country I feel ALL should be treated as such don't you?

We can agree on one thing that people are born homosexual. Ignorance however is not, it is taught.

1:22

is that Bruce Willis on the left?

[PhantomCake]

I Did It!

xx

[mongobobo]

I will actually be disappointed if my daughter ISN'T gay. If she has sex with one boy, that is one too many. Society is becoming more tolerant towards female homosexuality every day.

[SuperFabulousGuy]

This video is so awesome.

[azcolvin429]
