Off the Straight & Narrow: Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals & TV

[ReachingHope15]

Being bi or Gay is NOT a damn Mental illness and its not really a choice i believe i was Born Bi i just realised that i liked women when i was 11 and you know what i dont care what people say im me and NO ONE is going to change me!

[dylanwildlevel]

Is that William Buckley hiding behind the pot plant?

[ronoc9]

That openly line is SO dated!

[vOoNneE]

I don't get why someone's sexual orientation is a "lifestyle". The only thing that changes in your life is who you're with, maybe what clubs you go to. I've never heard anyone call heterosexuality a lifestyle.

[uraine7626]

Now that was just dumb of you to say such a thing. Your kids are gay themselves!

[DumbRantings]

By being celibate and proud, I go against very gross, disgusting, and sexist gender roles and stereotypes about men and women.

One of the things I respect about your religion, is that Christianity values men's virginity and chastity as well. Your very God, Jesus Christ, stayed virgin until death. And Catholic priest vow celibacy. I look up to that fact about your religion. It's sad so many of y'all can't respect us back.

[DumbRantings]

There would be nothing to talk about if you weren't taking away our rights and talking bad about us.

An "agenda" for equality isn't such a bad agenda. It's certainly better than a gay hating one.

[siddeysong]

I second that

[TuRdSandwitch18]

it's sad that u hav kids

[SaintJohn86]

If I did, why is it so sad, I just disagree against the gay lifestyle, I do not hate them

[TuRdSandwitch18]

it's not a lifestyle and u cant disagree bcos it's not a statement and gay people dont care wether u like them or not u probably dont know any gay people

[SaintJohn86]

I know some gay people and if gay people do care because if they didn't they would not be in the media every five minutes saying that we need to accept them and be Ok with how they live.

[DumbRantings]

SaintJohn86, what is this "gay lifestyle" you speak of? Are you talking about the stereotypical feminine camp gay? There's nothing wrong with going against gender roles women violated gender roles when they started wearing pants and working. Gender roles aren't necessary. And nor are all gay men effeminate and nor are all lesbian women butch. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[DumbRantings]

And if by sexuality activity, frequent sex is a stereotype of non-heterosexuals. It's not necessarily true. I'm a Bisexual and we get the WORST stereotype of promiscuity. I am a virgin man and proudly so. Not because of religious values, but because I am a man. I take pride in my celibacy because as a male, society finds my lack of sexual activity laughable and mockful. And thinks I should strive for promiscuity as a guy. While attacking women and calling them "sluts" for the same.

[frandycek]

we´re all sick, somehow.

but life is about being happy,isn´t it ?

[medaphsyco]

@slagathor02  exactly its not an illness!!! lol

[destiniburnsed1993]

HOMOSEXUALALITY IS A MENTAL ILLNESS!? WTheck!? wen i herd that i was done watching the video! im gonna like girl and if u like it then good 4 u if u dont then shut ur mouth and go die in a hole! im tired of being bashed because im bi and i dont bash u straight ppl well im gonna say wat i alwayz wanted to say, "I. DONT. THINK. STRAIGHT. PPL. EXSIST.!" thatz just me but w-e imma let u be if u let me be the person i am!

[aerochick42]

that was the perspective in the 60s and early 70s. homosexuality is no longer considered a mental illness by the scientific community. it's now a moral issue mostly contested by religious figures

[medaphsyco]

@destiniburnsed1993 this video wasnt against gays it was for them its just sort of like a documentary on peoples shifting between ignorance and understanding.

[1nceuponathyme]

I think the only representation of bisexuality I've seen on tv or in the movies is something along the lines of Girls Gone Wild material...immature sexuality all together and used to gain male viewers not for women to delve into their sexualities or support those who do (unless it's drunk in front of a camera).

[MySecretPumkin]

Good video.

[ClemClemens1111]

I think the thing that used to make me mad,,was many Lesbians claiming the reason they were gay was because some man molested them,,that really set us back in believablity on the born gay issue.

[BeatBuddy]

It's a propaganda tool still exploited by the religious right.

[OperationNorthwoods]

HHAHAHAHHAH!

Nazism came to USA!

[oddjob29]

most people don't know a gay person? that's false as far as i'm concerned... most people do

[KOELCHAK]

ellen did it.

[erebus888888]

NO, it says in my psych book that homosexuality was removed from the mental disorders list a few decades ago. We are not a disease, we are just different from teh norm

[gearzone2611]

so homosexuality is not a mental problem now?

[OperationNorthwoods]

Nazism & racism came USA before it came to Nazi-Germany

[gearzone2611]

what do you meant? cool OperationNorthwoods very familiar its a project during Kennedy's term right? Yah.. sounds cool!

[Rodimus78]

Of course it did. The Confederacy sort of predated the German Nazis in the 1800s. I wouldn't be suprised if the Southern Confederate politics has inspired Hitler to create his National-Supremacist order.

[ClemClemens1111]

gear no,,but being an asshole is a mental problem.

[gearzone2611]

Not sure about that Clemens. Heheh!

[Veleda]

It never was.

[gearzone2611]

Ok, thats all I need to know! Thanks!

[BeatBuddy]

The success of Brokeback Mountain at the box office indicates the increasing maturity in which the general public is dealing with gay visibility. It won't surprise me at all if this movie is shown on prime time basic television within the next 20 years.

[ClemClemens1111]

Beat, I say 10yrs.............. easily.

[MySecretPumkin]

I predict 5 years. I'm going to blow one of the network executives. JK
