Gay Pride/Autistic Pride: Celebrate Difference

[SWEETSEABLUE123]

my imaginary friend has autism his name is tom he doesnt like boys but he says jesus loves u as u are so ask him in your heart gay or autistic , i wish people didnt lable political correctness people are people

[hiqhduke]

Pride in what? Taking it up the ass & sucking cock like a masochistic bitch & being irritating to other people is shameful. *Cold unloving parents* produce Gay Autistic Aspergian children who grow up to resent normal people bc being a friendless, medicated, irritating FAILURE who gets fucked by guys isn't a virtue and stating otherwise is morally & intelectually dishonest. Aspie Fags belong in Mental Institutions with NO Internet access.

[DavidLynch007]

Okay, autism is NOT the same thing as homosexuality. I find it insulting that sexual perverts are being compared to people on the autistic spectrum.

[TheTracyPaul]

@DavidLynch007 um - they weren't. Homosexual people are not 'sexual perverts' - they are just people. Ignorant person = ignorant comments

[cocoabeanbrunetti]

Personally, I don't carry the label. I never called myself an ''aspie'' or an autistic. I guess what I was trying to differentiate people who are autistic and who aren't. Then again, I'm being a hyopcrite for doing that.I t's a complicated issue.Sorry if I offended you in anyway.Though you do make a good point in your comment.

[YouStoleMyTube]

I'm not an aspie but I respect you all so much. I wish I could understand the hardships that you go through. But all I can do is offer my hand in friendship. And I hope that will mean something to someone out there.

Diversity is the spice of life.

[autismds]

I guess this is the kind of retarded video that you get when you search "autism gay"...

[DChatc]

No FynFlyte, it's the other way around...

AS is genetic, corosponding with a powerful immune system (acquired from the genes of concquerors) which vaccines happen to trigger, destroying the corpus colossum.

Homosexuality seems to come from an odd hormonal imbalence (gays in particular have higher than normal levels of testosterone, which accounts for the ultra-promiscuity) combined with a neurological situation OPPOSITE to autism (enlarged Corpus Collossum/Feminine Intuition).

[FynFlyte]

Garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being Gay does not leave you disabled. Autism does. I've never heard of anyone on disability for being gay. I've never heard of anyone needing special ed. in school for being gay. I have never heard of gayness making a person non-verbal.

Autism is a disorder. Idiots like you are making it into the latest fetish.

[cocoabeanbrunetti]

I have aspergers syndome and i'm able to function just fine in society.i don't see it as a disorder,just a difference and there's nothing wrong with being different.The only reason that people find that there's something wrong with being autistic is because many people are threatened by someone who's different.even if some people are low functioning,we really don't know their intellgence level.Just bc some ppl on the spectrum don't speak doesn't mean that they aren't intellegent.

[cocoabeanbrunetti]

Excuse me? I think your nothing more than an ignoramus.Besides I never even heard of this Amanda Baggs person and even if I did,I'm glad that she has some self respect,believing in the abilities of people.I think your just a pityful person who likes to pick on others.Have a nice day.

[cocoabeanbrunetti]

Piss off,you ignorant asshole!I and this diagnoses all my life and why the hell would I make that up?the reason that many of us have such low self esteem is because of ppl like you who take pride in orstracising people who are the least bit different!Better yet,I'm not going to waste my time with a fucktard like you!Have a good one!

[DChatc]

@cocoabeanbrunetti: They're frightened as we DO pose a significant threat to them: Not only do we challenge their hypocritical sentiments (AND those parasitic elements amongst them who capitalize off of such) and not only are we allot smarter than them (and with proper upbringing, can EXCELL them in almost every way), but it is OUR technology with which they are killing-eachother off.

I can't blame them for being observant, I simply think we should actively organize to preserve our own kind.

[MartinMirror1]

@cocoabeanbrunetti Yes some people speak all the time yet have nothing to say.

[chaoticidealism450]

Interesting connection between homosexuality and autism... If you will remember, it used to be thought that you had to cure gay people, too.

Nice to see that there are others who also think autism is not something to be ashamed of.

Now if we could just get autistic kids good educations, and stop people refusing to hire autistic adults, and stop people sticking us into institutions, we'd have a lot of it solved...

[oskkhan]

i love my Rainbow flag!!!!PRIDE!!!

[oskkhan]

i love my rainbow flag!!!!!!!PRIDE!!!

[GregRawks]

this was the gayest video I saw today

[theEvilain]

Fagots.

[DChatc]

Okay, let's just agree to disagree, I have too little time for this nonsense...

I will take my offensive posts off...

[DChatc]

I understand the plight of homosexuals throughout history (mainly due to Assyrian traditions which cocooned in the Levant and than invaded Europe, mating with Stoicism and Platonism to become "Christianity"). However I do not see how "Pride", especially with the obnoxioussly aggressive way it has presented itself, has done any real long-termed good. If anything all it seems to have done was provoke a reactionary obstinance amongst people who may not even have given the subject a thought.

[DChatc]

Like a skinhead resting upon the laurals of his distant ancestors achievements, the gay feels entitled to special priviliages from society (particularly regarding liberties with public decency), and everyone else be damned.

I do not have much against homosexuals on a personal basis, throughout history there have been decent people (like in Ancient greece, though many still fulfilled their reproductive duties, married and raised families, only some jaded old men were what we would call "gay").

[strongria]

More generally -

To those who wonder what homosexuality and autism have to do with each other - apart from the obvious (being minority groups in society, often similar experiences of discrimination/bullying, lack of community understanding/acceptance etc) - the GLBT community and the autism spectrum have a common symbol (the rainbow).

Some of the images in the video, I wasn't sure which community they came from - they really could have been either.

[strongria]

There ARE gay autistic people :)

I identify as lesbian. I've also been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome (it's more complicated than that - I've also had multiple brain injuries - but I'm certainly NOT neurotypical!!).

I personally know two gay men on the autism spectrum. By personally, I mean physically living in my city. I know OF several other GLBT autistics.

We exist.

[Leatherdad]

Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to share this video. It is special and fantastic. BTW, haters are usually gay. BW

[DChatc]

BTW: As an Aspie myself I just want to articulate my disdain for such patronizing schmulz. Pride is not free. I am not proud of "what I am", I am proud of what I DO. Autism, homosexuality et al are nothing to be proud of, CONSCIOUS ACHIEVEMENT IS (this decidedly New-Age idea of inherant pride I find VERY DESTRUCTIVE as it belies the accomplishments of those who actually put effort into their lives, pride of oneself just for being "gay" or an autie is a cousine of all the other chauvinisms).

[DChatc]

This is rather ironic as Autism and Homosexuality are expressed in two completely opposite conditions of the Corpus Colossum (the area of the brain that links the two hemospheres of the cerebral cortex to the mid brain).

In autistics the corpus colossum is much thinner, and the white matter in general is sparsely distributed all throughout the brain (an autistic brain is more or less a representation of neurological municipalism).

[DChatc]

The homosexual brain is the exact OPPOSITE: The corpus colossum is extremely dense like a woman's (only they connect a HUGE, distinctly male cerebral cortex, so homosexual men have both male intellect and feminine intuition, it also interesting to recall that Autism-type disorders are often described as being an exageration of masculinity, given their innate lack of intuition and susbsequential sole reliance on mental computations to navigate their world).

[DChatc]

The result is that we have two cratures who consider eachother as wholly foreign and alien. The autistic looks at the homosexual as at best absurd and silly, and at worse as a surrealistic assault on the aspergers' logical world whereas the homosexual would look at the autistic at best as a teddy-bear, a form of momentary emotional stimulation to cry over, and at worst as a representation (if not the source) of that very SYSTEM of oppressive, discriminatory collectivism that he seeks to destroy.

[DChatc]

This is also expressed in the two parties approach to sexuality. Homosexuality is more or less a synonym for Hypersexuality (and studies show higher testosterone rates in homosexuals) whereas Autistics are nearly asexual and infact fear sexuality as a disruptive assault to their own values of social order (this is also why misogyny is a staple of autistic culture, a group which is predominantly male and most aware of woman and her sorcery).

[DChatc]

And subsequently, this is why autistics are fetishists, as intimacy is a risk at being ensnared into Aphrodite/Lucifers pit of woes (so in this sense, the gay is similar to a worlock, training in the black arts of seduction and emotional manipulation, things which the autistic learns of VERY quickly in the most direct and harsh manner of all in the schoolyard, giving him an edge over the oblivious NTs who have just enough instincts to fall for the same trap OVER AND OVER).

[Gooner018]

I have aspergers and im getting laid pretty frequently (with women).

[Gooner018]

I guess it's because sex is fun, there doesn't need to be an emotiional connection to enjoy it especially if your a male. Although it's far better when you have a connection with someone. Which is rare for me as I have virtually no sence of empathy.

[CSV1]

Faggots got to serve in the Dirlewanger brigade.

[AUTISTICWEREWOLF]

I can not tell you how happy I am having seen this. I so totally love this posting. God bless you for posting this. Thank you more than words can say. As for the haters ignore them. Haters get that way from their lifetime spent in the shallowest end of the rankest gene pool.

[clockworkgirl21]

I'm not sure I agree with the autistic pride thing. I'm not saying people who are autistic shouldn't be proud of who they are or happy, but it can be quite a severe disease.

[KittiesRock46]

ASSBURGERS!

just kidding, had to shoot myself in the foot figuratively. Had to say "kudos to you"

Well, I think I'm both, aren't I? ;-)

i <3 tthis song

[GeoffLafayette]

Well it could be worse. See "BUCKYSTEIN #9" Where a father and a gay son relationship ends in Murder!

[dodgyhingst]

Dear riotoutlawfreak,

I hear you loud and clear.

You speak volumns....

Shine on.

[InnerCircleofPoets]

wonderful.... wish they did that in the UK... groups uniting because of their uniqueness it will happen one day hopefully :)

[MRGaudet]

beautiful.

[mimmim1]

Purely. The Most Disgusting Person On this planet is a homophobe.

[foresam]

I'm in favor of Gay pride since the more guys who turn queer, the more women there are for me. Autistic kids, however, don't have a choice and scumbags like Amanda Baggs who want to celebrate autism are just lying scoundrels who harm autistic kids with their deranged rhetoric.

[KuraiGaka2]

Aren't you married you misogynistic bastard? And besides, even if you could have all the women in the world, what makes you think that they would ever want to be with you?

And gay people don't have a choice either. When did you wake up one morning and decide that you where suddenly going to be straight?

[foresam]

I know queers don't have a choice, nobody from the opposite sex wants them so they turn queer. Autistic kids don't have a choice either and they would all like to be cured, every single one of them.

[KuraiGaka2]

You speak like that and expect everyone to give you respect?

[foresam]

Hey, I'm not a misogynist, I'm Catholic. Why would anyone respect a queer?

[hydrocitg]

yu should respect queers, would yu rather respect criminals murderers, rapist,.etc.thats 1 thing i hate about catholics, they judge 2 much and think ther all good, i bet yu dont even read d bible as often as u should.just when father pupu, askes yu too,

[Warsie]

because they're nice decent people. I've met some homosexuals, "they're just like us" (to use that cliche)

[leoleponge]

How does Gay and Autism relate?????

[KuraiGaka2]

Well, socially, they can. I thought that it was a bit odd too (and I am a supporter of gay rights). But I understand that it has all to do the the social and historical abuse that homosexuals and auties seem to be afflicted by.

[leoleponge]

I understand what you've stated about gay rights and autistic rights not being met, I have nothing against gay's and obviously nothing against autistics, still no equalization there. You could pull other groups into the equation like, religious groups and leaders, politicians, etc. There's no end, so why compare gays to autistics? I think you're a great gal KG, I'm not trying to undermind you, I guess I just don't understand the logic.

[KuraiGaka2]

I agree, There is no defining similarity between homosexuality and autism. Minority groups often compare themselves to other minority groups. It's a way to unite people and I certainly don't have a problem with that.

[KuraiGaka2]

Erm, actually, that was a hilarious message.

[KuraiGaka2]

Do they want a medal?

[KuraiGaka2]

Maybe extremists do stuff like that. You are as bad as the idiots who think that all muslims are Al Queada. Homophobes are a menace to society.

[KuraiGaka2]

Erm, excuse me but not ll homosexuals spread disease. Of all the homosexuals I know, I have never met one who has anything more severe than a flu. And yes, PETA do encourage children to do their dirty work. Most homosexuals don't. In fact, I have never met a homosexual sending out leaflets  saying "Got Gay?". No, they just live their lives like everyone else.

[wickedistheshiz]

My cousin is autistic. And I'm gay. YAY PRIDE FOR BOTH!!!!

[KuraiGaka2]

And who says that it was gay people that started this? Hello, autistic people have a contribution to this too.

[KuraiGaka2]

Well, I don't think that they target kids in the twisted way you fabricate it to be but if I had a choice between "Sick homos teaching kids about sexuality" and PETA going into schools, teaching kids to be terrorists, I think I would pick the gay people, thank you very much.

[KuraiGaka2]

Oh,so by your logic, heterosexuals can be generalised in that horrible way as well. Heterosexuals rape, murder, abuse, etc, etc, and yet why don't we consider ourselves as perverts? Some people are bad, but most people are good. This applies to everyone.

And you guys are so bloody stupid. Didn't I tell you:

The. AUTISTIC. Coummunity. Are. Also. Responsible. For. Comparing. The. Homosexual. Community. To . Themselves. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at the right people.

[SpenPook44]

It is deplorable what the mass media combined with an uninformed mind can come up with. Let me remind you that just as many sex acts are preformed in bathrooms by straight people as there are by gay people and there are just as many straight priests molesting children as there are gay priests molesting children. I suggest that you get educated so you can sound intelligent about the topic on which you are writing.

[KuraiGaka2]

That is exactly what i'm talking about!

[SpenPook44]

I would be curious to know what your source was for the statement "are targeted by homos to further the cause of homos" because my sources disagree.

I would also like to state that your statement that homosexuality is a mental illness is incorrect. "Homosexuality is no longer regarded as a mental illness by the scientific community" (Wikipedia).

[KuraiGaka2]

You're not having sex with those people so why are you so worried about getting AID's.

Also, may I remind you that there is not a lot of pressure for gay couples to use condoms because, of course, there is no risk of getting pregnant. My I also remind you that it is scientifically proven that lesbian sex is the safest sex you can have?

[foresam]

Why is lesbian sex so safe? Can't deseases be transmitted with a strap on dildo that hasn't been sterilized, or from vagina to tongue?

[KuraiGaka2]

It's funny how homophobes are obsessed with gay sex.....sorry, I just had to call that to attention.

Yes, you are right to a certain extent. HOWEVER, because lesbains can't really put their sexual organs into each other, it's technically more sanitary.

John, why are you so utterly motivated to be a big pain in the arse?

[KuraiGaka2]

But you said HOW they like their sex, not WHO they would do but HOW they would do it.

[Etridus]

what has autism got to do with being a sick fag?

[KuraiGaka2]

The Autistic Community can identify with Homosexuals/Bisexual because of the social harrassment and the constant prejudice that is hurled at us. We are minority groups. That is our similarity.

[KuraiGaka2]

I should have called attention to this earlier.

You said :"The only thing that defines someone as a homosexual is HOW THEY LIKE THEIR SEX."

My response: What? Upside down? On their side? Lying down? Standing up? While eating ice cream?

[KuraiGaka2]

And you are absolutely disgusting! Live sex acts? I'm sorry, but that never happens in a Gay pride parade. You seem to be obsessed with gay sex. Could you possibly be gay yourself and just hiding it because you feel ashamed?

[Cynphx]

Cyndi Lauper RULES!!

[KuraiGaka2]

Y'know, people do tend to fall in love. Ever heard of love? Logically, if you can fall in love with the opposite sex then surely you can fall in love with the same sex.

[KuraiGaka2]

Only homosexuals compare themselves to animals? Excuse me but WE are animals. You're an animal. I'm an animal. All humans are animals. What stuns me the most about you homophobes is how you are more comfortable with seeing two men holding guns than holding hands.

Also, ANYBODY can spread horrible diseases. What makes you think that being gay means that you're suddenly going to get AIDS!?

[dinahkcm]

thank you - this is now in the posautive youtube group and its /sense subgroup

[khiemdaod]

bitch if u don't like gay then don't watch ur hetero also and can spread disease and destroy anal muscle

[KuraiGaka2]

Unnatural behaviour? How come animals do it, then? And DON'T say "Well animals kills and rape and shit" because lest we forget that heterosexual animals exist too.

[KuraiGaka2]

Who says that autism is all about kids?

[KuraiGaka2]

They don't target children you saddo.

Incase you have forgotten, children grow up. They get into puberty and they end up having sexual desires. Those desires could be for the opposite sex, same sex or both. Just like how heterosexual kids get educated about sex and love, shouldn't homosexuals/bisexuals be treated the same? Also, just because you are gay, it doesn't suddenly mean that you get AID's or whatever other STD is out there.

[riotoutlawfreak]

Children poisoned by mercury? What about the adult autistics?

I'm not "targeting" autistics... I am autistic.

[cb2198]

Gays created Al-Quida.

[KuraiGaka2]

Says who?

[KuraiGaka2]

This is exactly why autistics compare homosexuality to autism. It is because of the way we are cast aside as if we are some kind of sub-species, as if we don't matter.

I'm not gay but I can empathise with them because of the fact that they are very much hated minority group and why? Because of what they are! That is sick! You are sick!

[riotoutlawfreak]

KuraiGaka...I totally agree!

[KuraiGaka2]

Erm, poisoned by prescription drugs? Do you know how STUPID you sound?

Y'know hat, behappynotgay, I think you are just a very small and scared little person. Tell me, how is homosexuality hurting YOU? Why does it bother you so much? It doesn't bother me so why should it bother you?

[KuraiGaka2]

Y'know what else is sad? people who spread stupid propaganda against homosexuals. You make them out to be a religious group or something.

Homosexuals aren't the sluts you make them out to be. That's like saying that all heterosexuals are decent and are always ready for a commitment.

I always thought that there was something fucked up about only men and women being able to fall in love but never a man with another man or a woman with another wwoman and guess what, I was right!

[KuraiGaka2]

Isn't it a well known fact that most men don't like wearing condoms? Isn't it a fact that most men only use them as contraceptives?

And besides, how is being gay make you more susceptible to STD's? "Oh, I'm gay so I'll just fuck anything!".

You're pathetic.

[SuccessBitch]

I love this video. Love Cyndi Lauper-Shine. She shows me my love that is shining even for those freaks that spend hours visiting gay sights spreading

[SuccessBitch]

SuccessBitch meant to finish his statement that homophobic people that spread their hate after watching an amazing video-their is room for love for them. Cyndi Lauper helps me to do that.

[SuccessBitch]

I am not scared of homophobic people that are full of contradictions, they just make me sick of holly than thou.

[riotoutlawfreak]

Happy autistic pride day/ gay pride week, everyone. Thank you for all the nice comments and support. As for those who wrote hateful and ignorant comments... well, I just hope that someday you'll realize that hate is not the answer.

[Firewhenready]

Neurological "disorders?" As a person with Asperger's Syndrome, I take offense. I tend to call something a "disorder" only if it's keeping something from working the way it should. Who in the world has the right to say how the human brain should be working? If you look at the screwed-up state of the world right now, I'd say a vast majority of human beings have neurological "disorders" by proper definition.

[cb2198]

Autism sucks.

Gays suck (literally).

Autism = Gay

[KuraiGaka2]

Gays = People

Autistics = People

Autism = Not as bad as some people exxagerate it to be

Homosexuality = Who fucking cares?

cb2198 = A comple prejudiced, homophobic asshole who expresses their hatred towards autism through their own insecuirities, aka, Homophobia.

You suck, bitch!

[ralpheadsuz]

Difference is not a Disease!

[ncdblues]

I have an niece who has autism, she is more and more my hero, I love her so much, she pulls me out of depression alot, she understand that I am gay so this piece celerbrates who I am conected to her

[sweetsweetcarole]

ok this offended me. what's with equating autism to gays? autistic people have neurological disorders; that's why they're different. i don't like the idea of autistic "diversity" being "celebrated" alongside gay diversity. for one thing, autism sucks. acceptance is good, but its nothing to celebrate. and as far as gay rights and all that; that's a choice. whatever.

[KuraiGaka]

Autism sucks for you but not for me. I know for a fact that I would not have gotten into animation and art without it. Why? because without the ability to communicate apropriotely, I used pictures to express myself and I went to a primary school in a different area to where I lived. An area where a group of animators visited to do animation workshops with us and I realised that I wanted to be a movie maker. So, you see, Autism doesn't suck.

[KuraiGaka]

Fantastic!

[hiddenfall]

hey great vid, thanks for posting!!

[ralphss]

Huzzah! :)

[Athlynne]

Awesome!

Cool, I like it.  Great musical choice too.

[dinahkcm]

very nice indeed, this has been added to the Posautive Youtube group and to its /sense subgroup. Anyone who likes this should find plenty more to enjoy in those groups
