Hey, oaklandj, if you think Armenia is backward...then dont address yourself as an Armenian, cuz clearly you have not seen Armenia as i and many of my friends have. Dude, there are Homo bars, and Homo parades. Homos trashing the streets of Yerevan in drags and screaming slogans in high pitches. and dude, believe me, the last homos you want to see in life is Armo Homos, let alone Caucasian homos. it just dont loook right, and utterly funny, to a point...sick. but then again its your choice
this Oaklandj called me gay. hahaha...funniest shit i've heard. look, dude..you see this is why i say ''homos stay away from me''...cuz, look you guys are good people., but are so pressing and annoying when it comes to issues like these, thats its a waste of time talking with you, trying to understand you. its all a waste because of you're rude and asshole-ic homo rants. lol chill dude. no worries, im sure the next president after obama will be gay. unfortunately.
somebody called Armenia a 'backward' country. dude, not cool. SCREW YOU. whoeever said it, and for those.. WUZ ZUP!. look, there are unfortunately armo homos, even in armenia, and believe me, in Armenia , they are free as any other euro country. Armenia is bound to give them rights since its part of the Council of Europe (human rights stuff). let them have their rights, but stay away from me, with all due respect aper jan.
YOU are backwards. The "stay away from me" is usually used by closeted gay people who are trying to pretend they're heterosexual. And Armenia IS backwards - I say that as an Armenian. If you are delusional enough to drink the Kool-Aid that Armenia's a human rights paradise, then go right ahead. Those of us smart enough to stay aware will keep pressing for change.
i dont, that is their natrual instinct, I WILL STATE AGAIN
talking about homosexuality, and giving it leivage in the Armenian community should not happen
those who are born homosexual i guess good for them
but believe me, i knew this Armenian that was as straight as a boy could be all his life, he got involved with drugs the whole rock and roll seen that the western media infotrated, and eventually meraciously turned gay
because i guess he thought it was "trendy" and "cool"
I'm Armenian. I'm not gay. But I strongly believe that a person's sexual orientation is their business. Homophobia just like any other "phobia" has no place has no place in civilized society. Homosexuality has existed since time immemorial.. I have been happily married to the same woman for the last 8 years. I love my wife to pieces. And I know a few gay couples who have been married just as long and are just as happy. Why should I or anyone have a problem with happiness?
but talking about gay marriage, and making it tolerent, and lets say acceptable in Armenian culture, should not happen, then believe me, our culture would be like the british, or other western european cultures, who have staggering amount of gay populations, sure why not if Armenians were lets say 60 Million around the world, i wouldnt care, but we are only 8 million around the world, get the drift i hope?
yes on number 8 everyone. if not they will change all school system how the books are made. and it will create a big mess. we don't support gay and lesbian marriage so please vote yes on 8. we believe in old school male and female. this country was made on Christian believes and we wont change it.
Completely not true. Stop believing Mormon propaganda. Gays and lesbians should not have their rights taken away. Educated and principled people are voting NO, and only misguided zealots would consider a yes.
Yes they can and they do. Producing children is NOT a requirement for marriage anywhere. Post-menopausal women and infertile people get married all the time, as do couples who choose to not have children.
Your "common sense" is about 100 years behind. You probably believe the earth is flat, too.
no its called human instinct, do not try and inflict tolerence in the Armenian community to gays and lesbians, because sooner or later you will see Armenian socities with gays and lesbians, and more outrages things, i am a modern person, but inflicting homosexuality and making it tolerent in the Armenian community is A NO NO, we need all the straight people we can, so we can produce more children, their are certain groups out their that weakon socities with homosexuality in the media!
Listen numbnuts. I am Armenian and I am gay. "Inflict tolerance", as if it were something awful. Guess what? There are hundreds of thousands of gay Armenians. The fact that they are not open about it doesn't change that. Gay people will always be a minority; the majority of heterosexuals will continue to reproduce unhindered.
Societies that treat homosexuals badly are always the miserable shitholes that people are emigrating from. Your attitudes are backwards.
i have nothing againts gays i just dont want Armenians to have gays to a large scale, you talk as though it is a beautiful thing for Armenians to be homosexual, why would you call yourself Armenian then, lets just assume all Armenians were gay. our race would be dead.
yea sure, few hundred here and there doesnt hurt us alot, but it should not be something to talked about, or made a thing of interest to young children keeping to customs is all the best.
I don't know why some people think that accepting people will make all heterosexuals gay and we'll all die.
Let me explain.
The reason there are more visible gay people in Western countries is that they are NOT AFRAID to be open about their sexuality. In Armenia and other backwards countries, there are just as many gay people, but they are "in the closet". They lead miserable lives.
Even in the most tolerant culture, gays constitute a maximum of 10%. Stop panicking about gays taking over.
Sorry, you're wrong. 1. nope 2. nope 3. nope 4. nope 5. nope. Not a single legitimate organization agrees with you. "genetic dead end", like we're trying to stop straight people from reproducing. Well, I hope *you* and other brain-dead people like you don't reproduce.
Stupid bigot. It's going to get challenged. In 50 years, people will look at the attitudes of sad people like you and either laugh or shake their head in disgust.
Change,change,change.....dont you realize there's going to be change regardless of who wins?? Stop buying into the media's propoganda and vote for the right candidate for THIS country! Dont be swayed by empty promises that will not be fulfilled. Cmon Armenians we're smarter then that.

WRONG.
He was a good actor for a long time.
NO ONE thinks being a SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN (which we are now, thanks to the bigoted majority) is "trendy" or "cool."
If you actually had a conversation with your friend - a deep, honest conversation in which he felt he could trust you - you'd find out the truth.
