What Gays are NOT

[cynt123able]

Im sorry I did not comment sooner to this video since I added it to my favorites monts ago. It is very well spoken as are many of your videos. I appreciate your mentioning the typical st8 male response to lesbianism.

[RobNorthampton]

@cynt123able Thank you for commenting at all. I always appreciate any feedback I can get :-)

[RoryCurls]

wow didn't know that about the pedophiles

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you for watching. And thank you for such a glowing comment too, of course!

It is very gratifying to know that a professional could give my thoughts such credence.

[MrMaheswarsatpathy]

Excellent Introduction and clarification. Very very logical as well as persuasive. Thanks for uploading.

Homosexuals need sex much more than heterosexuals? If this myth was true, i would feel much sympathy for the foreskin of any homosexual person in relation to my needs as a heterosexual. All kidding aside. Thank you for standing up to and pointing out the proverbial bullshit society has for far too long indoctrinated and passed down unto the next generation, almost like a heritage, from generation to generation to our future seed, to be passed as normalcy and politically correct.

[RobNorthampton]

@strikenetter You're right, of course. One thing I've noticed is that as I get older, it's not the foreskin I worry about, but the inclination! I mean, 8 or 9 times a day now, and I'm done!

;-) [ I wish! ]

Thank you for your considered and intelligent response, by the way. :-)

[6HateMe6LoveMe6]

Thank you so much for this video. I was on the fence about if God hated gay people and you really opened my eyes to the answer. I am a gay Christian and all my life I have been told God hates all homosexuals. This past year I have been coming out more to a lot more people, I was actually introduced to a church that thinks God loves gays. All of your points are valid and made me happy to see someone who isn't afraid to say what other gay men and women were thinking. Thank you so much once again.

[RobNorthampton]

@6HateMe6LoveMe6 Jordan, if you gained something from the vid, I am happy!

;-)

Thank you for commenting! It means a lot, because then I am not just talking to myself! :-)

You are not on your own! I must have had scores of messages from young guys, mainly in America, that have had such a problem accepting their sexuality because of religious indoctrination. Hang on in there, friend. It gets better!

:-)

[RobNorthampton]

Another thing is that most of my channel is devoted to gay subjects, and I have a whole section on coming out. I can't help much with religion, but most of the other stuff is common ground and affects all gay people. Thanks for watching, Jordan, and keep smiling! :-)

[6HateMe6LoveMe6]

@RobNorthampton Thank you for replying so fast. You commenting on other people's comment, asking questions and explaining yourself is a really good thing to have. I did gain a lot from this video and I look forward to watching the other videos!

[RobNorthampton]

@6HateMe6LoveMe6 Thanks again, Jordan :-)

[Celtpipes]

I want to thank you for your video. I love your calm and strong stance on this issue. I hope that people of hetero orientation will see we are like them. Relationships are just that relationships of love and they all come there own issues and pains and joys.  By the way, your very hansom.

[RobNorthampton]

@Celtpipes The trouble is that many people have pre-conceived ideas about what gay people are, and unfortunately won't change their minds. All we can do is be visible in our everyday lives, and hopefully albeit oh-so-slowly, the bigotry lessens.

[jademc420]

gay crocodile dundee is what comes to mind

[goddessmodel]

gay men are all drag queens

[RobNorthampton]

That's as daft as saying black men are all presidents :-)

[goddessmodel]

no it isnt androgynous behavior has always been linked with homosexuality

some gay men act masculine to gain partial acceptance look at ladyboys in thailand they made up 200 out

of 2100 students around 10% just as was predicted and they all identify themselves as ladyboys just like two spirited people among native americans

masculine pretending gays are just ashamed of and further add to our oppression by distancing themselves from there roots

[RobNorthampton]

Thai gays may force themselves to act effeminate even if they're not, because Thai society more readily accepts them that way. In a free society, gays and lesbians come in all shades of what is perceived as masculine and feminine and everything in between.

A straight bigot in a pub once accused me of 'pretending to be like them (straight men), so that I could fit in'. I have never pretended to be anything other than what I am, and I've certainly never been ashamed of my sexuality.

[goddessmodel]

gay men in the west force themselves

to be masculine for moderate acceptance

[Roseybaby63]

I could never understand why some people are so concerned with what others do in their own lives. I could care less about someone's sexual orientation. A person's character is shown in their actions, not their sexuality. You make very good videos.

[RobNorthampton]

And you leave very good comments! Thanks very much! :-)

[jalopotan]

shut up no one believes in christianity these days unless there old and btw you cant stop gays its not a choice it is but they are also born with it you homophobic

[trehcrap]

If you are homosexual you must not act on it because sex is for procreation between one man and one woman in marriage. Read God's word., Jesus Christ is the answer.

[RobNorthampton]

I pity you for your narrow, indoctrinated view of the world. You are missing out on so much! Accept you have one life, live it, and let other people live theirs. Put your bible down, and try reading a different book for a change. You might learn something. According to you, every time a man has sex, it's because he wants a baby. I think not!

[Youngstunna7s]

God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve... Not being narrow minded, people can do what they choose, this is freedom of speech deal with it.

[cheezonator]

@trehcrap

Oh okay, so nobody should ever have sex unless they are married AND they want a baby. Otherwise, no contraceptives?

That is what you are saying.

Gtfo how dare you discriminate gays and lesbians.

[ludlow37]

Excellent......Well said x

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks very much! :-)

[RobNorthampton]

I agree with you. Bigots will use any excuse they can find whether its true or not, in order to justify their continuing homophobia.

[shairaptor]

Very good video! Every homophobe should see it and learn from it. And it should be promoted so that everyone can click on it on the Youtube front page! Messages like this are very important to wake up people and tell them we're in the 21st century now.

You didn't refer to the bible (many homophobes state from there). There are only 6 out of 1 million verses that deal with homosexuality, imagine that!

Have a nice day and spread the message! :)

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you very much :-)

[Cabanas751Dunhill]

IamaKinsey06 has sent you a message:

Some Christian you are. You are an evil spirit masquerading as a Christian. By the grace of God I am saved.

Horse-Shit!

You ahev No Grace of My Holy God of the Scriptures, neither Yah Nor Jesus - Fat Lying DOUCHE bag. TRUTH HURTS.

[RobNorthampton]

Was there a point in posting this ramble here, or did you get lost?

[Mattly2]

very nice and well put! unfortunatly it's so hard to get people with these myths exposed to another way of thinking. A lot of old ideas remain simply because they are never properly questioned in a way which forces people to reflect and consider to change their oppinion.

[parosmarpissa]

To people who just find gay relationships a bit gross... seriously get over it, personally I don't want to know the gory details of every heterosexual relationship I come accross, far from it. Still I wont ask you lot to tone it down for my delicate stomach. People will not 'tone themselves down' because it makes you feel a bit awkward so I'm afraid you'll have to like it or lump it! :)

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for your comments! I bought Bruce's book over a year ago, and it truly shows just how little difference there is between any of the animal species, including homo sapiens!

:-)

[parosmarpissa]

Great video, currently studying homosexuality in male primates... homosexuality has an evolutionary function and is just as natural as heterosexulity. Honestly people have a read of Burce Bagemihl's Nature's Exhuberance if you are in doubt.

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you. And thanks for watching! :-)

[JoyfulSuccess]

very articulate, thanks for dispelling rumors

[alvinsmithlover]

gay ppl, staright ppl, purple ppl, weird ass ppl, your just ppl...........dame fucking labels.

[RobNorthampton]

You're right, of course. And I've met a few weird asses in my time. But I think I like the purples the best. They're so colourful! Really cheer the place up! :-D

[someUtubeguy]

Thank You!!! Alot of this needed to be said!

[Tsoco]

this vlog makes me incredibly happy. ;D

you are so right!

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks Tsoco :-)

[peepeevagi]

I only disagree with one thing. You mention lesbians. Alcohol, money, or a glimpse of the spotlight make up too much of them. Girls gone wild kinda ruined true to heart lesbians and a chance of credibility.

And, you look like freddy fender when he had short hair :P

[RobNorthampton]

It's true that women are often seen in the media as being able to switch on or off their lesbian 'side'in order to tittilate straight men. But you also have to remember who controls the media - mostly straight men. The media doesn't always reflect true society.

As for 'Freddy Fender' I had no idea who he was, so I googled him. I grant you that most pics show him as a middle-aged man with a moustache, so I'll go with your description of me. Just don't ask me to perform any Country music! :-)

[SaadiaSaadia]

Very cool--I'm going to forward your channel link to a ton of people now...

*****

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks very much, Saadia! Have a good rest-of-the-weekend :-)

[Yankeezcap]

Bible is a tabloid and a chain letter.

[Slothth]

I wish that I could show the entire world this video. I wish that everybody could hear your words. I agree with you very, very, very strongly and it makes me want to cry every time someone feels the same way I do about this subject because my father hates homosexuals, which I am one. I am a lesbian and I want the world to know that, also. I'm not afraid of what people have to say, but I am afraid of what people truly think. It hurts, and I don't understand a single bit of it. :s

[RobNorthampton]

All we can do is try to change one person at a time. If every gay person manages to change the opinion of only one homophobe, that's a lot of people. I wish you well in your struggle, and hope your father will mellow one day :(

[refuckulate420]

WTF is wrong with you fucking fags.. FUCK OFF. this is exactly the problem with you people, if your gonna be gay you have to go sharing it with the rest of the world instead of keeping it to your damn selves and living your life. Trying to change peoples opinions and shit fuck that.

Straight people dont go around touting their sexual preference and if being gay is so "natural" then enjoy, just keep it to your damn self.

[RobNorthampton]

WTF is wrong with you homophobes that feel the need to watch and comment on gay channels? If it bothers you that much, just go smoke your weed and watch some Monster Trucks or something! Have a nice day! Peace.

[Shifterred]

This is not very practical. While "don't ask, don't tell" is a popular view for most homophobic heterosexuals, its silly to think that gay people will keep their sexuality (which, like your own, is a large part of who they are) "to themselves". This is a very important social movement! The gay movement is no different than any social change (like, you know, CIVIL RIGHTS).

(continued)

[Shifterred]

Also, the use of poor syntax and useless curse words just makes your point completely invalidated. :) You merely come off as rude and ignornat, instead of someone trying to state their opinion in a rational manner. You might keep this in mind for next time you decide to trash talk someone's video.

[IamaKinsey06]

Actually you have it backwards. It's the heteros who go around shoving their sexuality in our faces all the time. We are subjected to seeing subtle and overt signs of heterosexuality from breeders constantly, all day long. I just don't think you realize how much we see in a day. From hand-holding, kissing, scenes in movies, advertisements, etc., etc., or simply a man & a woman eating together (if it were 2 guys, you'd think "they're fags").

I think we need MORE in-your-face homosexuality.

[strikenetter]

@IamaKinsey06 I respect your comment, yet i have to disagree. It is not the hetero's in my belief shoving our sexuality down your throat, but rather a society and its ignorant heritage doing the shoving. Every movie, tabloid, magazine, etc. promoting hetero images is the work of society, not hetero people in general if that makes since. We as a society must break free from this heritage regarding society, it includes homophobia and religion which is humorous seeing as how one is caused by/other.

[PeachyPeachPie]

Well gee, it's kind of hard to keep it to yourself with all the hateful slander out there raining on you everyday.

I'd tell you to keep your breeding to yourself but you can't do that, and I can't do the other thing either.

[dedicatedrr]

Wonderful, everyone should these video!

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks Artemis! :-)

[korkyackland1969]

What an absolutely fantastic video!! Well done Rob. It was societies negative attitudes towards homosexuality that kept me in the closet for 20 years!! I am now out and proud and even more proud of my gay son who was brave enough to come out aged 14, he is now 18 and in a great relationship with a lovely man, we are not a dysfunctional family because mother and son are gay, we are just a loving family like any other and your words are music to our ears! Cheers mate

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks very much Rachael! It's comments like yours that make me more determined to keep plugging away to help raise awareness, even in my own small way. :-)

[dohchicken]

This is an amazing and informative video, and should be featured!

This is common sense to me, but some ppl just don't get it...

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks very much. I think Canada and Britain are at about the same point in gay liberation. It's ok on paper, but in reality, there are still far to many misconceptions. :-)

[PlanetRoboGoretex]

excellent vid handsome

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks very much, Bryan, is it? Glad you like.

:-) Rob

[awilliams100]

Very well said Rob!! :) -Alan-

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for watching Alan! Just me having a little rant :-)

[MrsFancescFabregas]

Dudee...i have nothing against your sexuality..who you find attractive and wo you dont find attractive is none of our consern...but the thing tha makes me not like hearing about "gay" people is when tthey talk about "having fun" with eachother...to me this sounds very sickly...and gets horrible thoughts of two men "having it"...so please dont take this the wrong way, i kno not all gays are discusting...but i needed to pick a point...sorry if i have affended youin any way!

[RobNorthampton]

Kayleigh. I hope that when you have children of your own, that they are all heterosexual. Mother Nature is very diverse, but obviously can't please everybody.

[MrsFancescFabregas]

I undestand...but i was not intending to aim this at you

[Zachski]

I'd like to point out, without criticizing, that straight people talk about having fun with people of the opposite gender all the time, especially around the teenager years.

Am I justifying? No. I'm saying that both are wrong.

[Shifterred]

I totally agree, Zach. People always say "I dont MIND gays. I just hate to see them kissing!" Well, I don't want to see ANYONE macking out in public, thank you.

[PeachyPeachPie]

So you basically understand what gay men are tortured with every single day. The thought of men together with women, or women at all in any sexual shape or form is abhorrent to us. Imagine being surrounded by gay imagery every second, every day.

Pretty soon you'd be flaunting your own sexuality just for the sake of wanting to feel it existed.

[Katyushenka]

VERY well said! And I also learned something I never thought about before!

[mizgog020]

Yep. Gays are nicer than most people and yet people ridicule them for that.

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for commenting, and also for subscribing! I was recently asked, seriously, why some gay men have higher voices. I answered, saying why do some straight men have voices so low that they sound as if it comes from their boots. We are all a mixed bag of genetics and hormones I guess, and we can't all fit into the same pigeonhole. I think the diversity in the human species is what makes it interesting. :-)

[sarahlwd]

Totally agree wid you. I actually prefer to hang out wid my gay/bi male friends, even tho I'm straight, jus because they act differently to other guys. =)

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for dropping by, Sarah. It's a shame that a lot of straight guys feel they have to live up to some sort of macho image to look good in front of their friends.

[robbob60504]

Love the video and man thats the truth I just wish the rest of the world could grow a brain. It is normal and natural I mean shit animals do it to. I just hope the rest of the world wakes up eventually realizes that everybody is different but were all here for a reason.

[Gellenor]

I couldn't agree with you more. As a friend of mine said once, "you seem to have thought this through." Good job, now all we need is for everyone to see this video.

[Mithcoriel]

Well said!! Can't put it any other way. You voiced pretty much every annoying prejudice and corrected it. I can only hope plenty of homophobes will see this.

[NickHock2]

Watching this it makes me think that conformist vs non-conformist is the most relevant question. The still prevalent stereotype of "homosexual" is a whole bunch of independent traits lumped together largely because they are expressions of individuality.

[NickHock2]

The paranoia about paedophiles which deliberately confuses them with serial killers and then links them to all non-conformity is the present tool of conformists. Look at how children are taught and "protected" at school. The out right lies of "boys beware" have been replaced by a focus on ill defined fears about all forms of sex and a blind eye to playground homophobia.

[NickHock2]

After all why should any gay, transsexual, transvestite, or effeminate-straight go into the closet in the first place?

We need positive teaching about all forms of diversity - and active intervention to prevent bullying of nonconformist children. A particularly worrying tendency in the UK today is a muslim-christian-conservative alliance to impose bigotry in schools.

[RobNorthampton]

I agree wholeheartedly with your comments, and thank you for making them! Rob

[NewYorkGardener]

Excellent video Rob!

Thank you also for posting the National Geog. video !

[RobNorthampton]

Well thank you for watching, Arthur! Glad you liked it :-)

[asdfTambourine]

Did I hear a bit of Shylock at the end of that video?

[RobNorthampton]

Maybe a little, but it didn't occur to me until you mentioned it. Anyway, if you prick me, do I not bleed? :-)

[asdfTambourine]

How on earth do I go about recruiting young lads anyway? They forgot to post me the information pack! Surely someone can tell me how it's done?

[tenneral]

Brilliant video, wonderfully true and presented with conviction. I wish I had heard all this when I was young and unsure of things. 5*

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks very much for your comment, Michael. Much appreciated. Rob :-)

[Jardinami]

Wonderfully done. Intelligent, thorough and I am so glad that you handled the God issue. I believe sexuality is born in a person, and what was meant to be.

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you. I just enjoyed your Children and Flowers vid. I'm such a softie! :-)

[WaltonThomas66]

Excellent video. maddoggmabey did a quick little bit encouraging his subs to watch. I for one am glad he did. Thanks for making this. It would be wonderful if this was featured, so many others could view it.

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for that Tom. just watched your Identity Crisis and You got me. Subbed. :-)

and yes, Maddog is a good guy. (Damned cute too, but don't tell him that) LOL Rob x

[mellowinPA]

Fantastic, very well said!

[VisualEyeCandy]

Rob thank you so much. This is the point I have been trying to get across. I might post a video response. 5 stars with all of my heart.

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you back! :-)

[RobNorthampton]

Hi Randy. Thanks very much for watching and for the lovely comment! Rob x

[BeatBuddy]

Another thing gays are not; all Barbra Streisand lovers, albeit there is a support group for gay men who don't like her.

[RobNorthampton]

LOL Good point! You'd better leave me their address. [I don't like Madonna or Britney either.] :-)

[BeatBuddy]

Madonna sounds like Olive Oyl on helium. LOL

[ClemClemens1111]

I can not stand Streisand, Madonna, etc.I do not understand that facintaion with these women.

[BeatBuddy]

You must be the old-fashioned Judy Garland type.

[408985]

vary well said

[madguitarist]

Brilliant video, Rob. I'm of the opinion that another person's sexuality, is none of my concern unless they're making a pass at me. Even so, I've seldom had a problem with a gay man refusing to accept the fact that I'm straight, so I have no problem accepting the fact that others may be gay.

[writerboia]

You got it exactly right!

[Willowthebluefairy]

Yes you iz so right ickle Rob. Gay hooman peepuls is much the same as straight ones. They iz all speshal and individuool likes we fairies is. Hugs and fairy dust for you eksellent video.

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you Willow. You can never have too much fairy dust :-) x

[Willowthebluefairy]

you iz welcum i will leeve you heaps evry time i vizits

[whistonlass]

Rob, yet again I find your video well presented and thought out...full of positives! It warms my heart to be able to listen to your reassuring and truthful comments. Jacquie x (mom to a much-loved gay son)

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks again Jacquie for another lovely comment. :-) Rob x

[geroldkid]

An extremely smart video that more people need to see. Great video Rob!

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for the kind comment :-)

[Sikosm]

now that iv subscribed i found this great video! good thing i did! :-)

[Sikosm]

oh yeah and i thought of the same point that you mentioned - this guy at school said gay marriage ahouldn't exist bcos the parents could turn their kids gay, and i told him that was rubbish bcos of the reason you gave :-) if u could be gay by having gay parents, there would be no gays bcos straight parents would ensure that their children were straight.

[jrsnyderjr]

This is an excellent summary of a lot of points that most of us have been forced to make over and over again for decades now. Great to see these types of videos gaining momentum on YouTube. I see this as a leadership video...thanks.

[coolsteven2]

u welcome rob

-steven

[maddoggmabey]

This is an excellent video! Much better than any i have made on a similar subject. Its very clear, and to remember that much for 8 minutes is brilliant! I'm gonna add it to my favorites, and i'll mention you on my next video (when my voice improves) as i think a lot of people who are subscribed to me would enjoy this! Great job rob! Dogg xx

[RobNorthampton]

Aw bless you Mr M. Dogg. with your sore, husky throat. Thanks for watching, and if you want some goose-grease rubbing on your chest, you know where I am :-D (Goose-grease? What the hell's that? No idea, but it sounds better than Vicks Vaporub) xx

[maddoggmabey]

i guess its the stuff that remains in the tray after cooking goose. Although i'm not sure how it would help my throat. I'd be shiny though!

[RobNorthampton]

You couldn't possibly shine any more than you do already, chuck. Okay, stop gagging now! LOL

[bachrub]

Brilliant!! Thank you.

[ItalianStallionette]

One of the best videos I have ever watched. I took notes to help me in my next gay video. I'm a lesbian, who is having a tad bit of struggle withh gay bashing on my channel. I'm sure, this is not a new concept for you. Im VERY happy to have found you. I'm adding this video to my channel. Thank you. Oh.. I subbed.

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you very much Gina! And thanks also for adding me to your channel! At least it stands more chance of getting seen on there because you are so popular. I'm honoured :-) - Rob x

[ItalianStallionette]

haha...rob, you're adorable.. I love you even more now!

[musosf]

Incredibly well spoken, Rob. And it needed to be said. Thanks for doing so! - Mike

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks Mike. It's doubtful that any of the 'haters' on YouTube will get to see it, but even if only ONE does, and it mellows him even slightly, I guess it's to the good. :-) Have a good day! Rob

[freedomanddemocracy]

good video

[RobNorthampton]

Thank you. I consider that high praise coming from you whom I believe to be one of YouTube's most erudite speakers. :-)

[coolsteven2]

ty u so much for telling ppl =)

[RobNorthampton]

Thanks for watching Steven. All we can do is hope that one day, homophobia becomes as taboo as racism is now.

[twish1999]
