No, I am not. I don't care, people are people.
However, I tend to have issues with personal space, and social interaction. If someone hits on/gets close to me, be it male or female ,then I tend to want them to get the hell away from me.
If people leave me alone and don't do things that set me off (ie. make me feel like I'm being talked about), then I don't care what kind of person they are. Get within five feet of me though, and you're on my bad side (some friends are excluded from this).
I know people who are homosexual, and honestly, I like them. Elias is one of the sweetest guys I know, and he is gay.. But ya knwo what? there are a few people who are homosexual who I can't stand, and they ((I don't get it.... 
Call me homophobic. Now, I can't stand them NOT because they are gay.. it's because they are honestly not nice poeple. Heck, I dislike even more hetero people then homosexual, simply because I know more of them. I think anyone who has the courage to be out, ((and those who don't)) deserve out respect, because they do have to worry about being beaten up, or whatever.
So I have this to say, which pretty much sums up my views: Do whatever you want, as long as you don't hurt anybody, and then I have no problem with you. I may not AGREE with your views, but I have no problem with you as a person. Period. [ 01-20-2002: Message edited by: Gikkwiny ]
Would take to much energy to try to figure out if everyone was homosexual or not.

Many of you have shot up exponentially on my "Respect-o-meter". One or two of you went down. You know who you are.
If this is an attack on Deth and myself for defending the fact that Ozi attacked both myself and Deth for simply having a sense of humor, you can sit on a spiked fence and twirl.
I am slightly homophobic, but only to the point that if a guy made a pass on me, I wouldn't like that guy. I have a few gay friends IRL and it doesn't matter. They don't hit on me.
As for why I didn't respond to you, you try pulling Fear and chatting when you can, come back to look at the chat screen, and see some guy go psycho cause no one responded.
If you ever do come back into IRC, I will explain my exact reasons for a few things, things that I and another person do not wish to disclose in a public forum.
Got a problem with any of this? Remember, Ozi attacked Deth and myself first in what is basically our own house, if you allow the metaphor. Thank you, have a nice day, and don't mess with me when I'm pulling Fear.
Just because someone is gay dosent meenthey are a good person.
Or, Gays can be assholes too.

You ever see two people duel it out with their faux-homosexual displays, trying to out-do eachother without crossing that fine line between "pretend gay and real gay?"
I'm an individual. Just like everyone else!
This is my take on it. I couldn't really give a rats ass less about what your sexual orientation is, as long as you don't piss me off as a person. It's all good. I have a best friend who recently admitted she's bisexual. The only thing that bothered me about it was what some people might say to her.
Because I swear to god, if one person insulted her because of it, heads would roll. No one said a thing, lucky for them. I would've flipped. I don't take kindly to gay bashers, especially if they're bashing on a friend, since I have some bisexual and homosexual friends, and I'm extremely protective of every last one of my friends. They're all awesome people, and therefore good in my book. Dun care that they're homosexual/bisexual.
It's not a matter of if you like males or females. It's just a matter of how you are as a person.

Yep. Some of the guys in one of my gaming groups had running jokes about that and the whole "harem" thing going on. When we were on a roll, we could make the girls in the group go "Eeewww". 
Gods, I miss that group. 
People are people.

What's the point of claiming to be open-minded, if you're going to--preemptively--call anyone who may disagree with you "ignorant and narrow-minded"?
Isn't that a tad ironic?
"I'm open-minded! Anyone who disagrees with me is ignorant!"
You should have hit the "Funny" tag, dude.

Yes, I know I make fun of you, Robbie. I do that just because I'm just plain mean. 
As for me? Hell, Bandiger was one of my favorite characters from Thousand Arms. If that doesn't put me in the clear, I don't know what does

Accually from what I've seen... you hate everyone that doesn't share your view.

I am not gay. I am however very flamboyant(sp?) at times. This has caused me to be accused of being gay. Oh well.
Ditto. I am however slightly homophobic. I dont care if someones gay or not, I dont agree with the lifestyle, but dont care. I do however become

Just say you're not intrested, not into that etc etc.. and move on.
I can understand if someone came up and tried to force themselves on you, but that is more than just getting hit on, or asked out.
Just because I am bi doesn't mean I want your wife/girlfriend or you. That doesn't mean I want a threesome. That doesn't mean you are in any way shape or form threatened by my ravenous libido.
Here's a clue kiddies... Until someone actually hits on you, chill out. You are not all that. Being gay/bi doesn't automatically give you superhuman desires to screw every person you see. It doesn't mean we are going to tie you to a chair and force you to watch Christopher Lowell. Our gayness is not going to rub off on you.
People are people.
Gays that thrust their gayness into people's faces are just as bad as straight guys that can't get their mind out of their pants.
I don't care what flavor you like, as long as you are good people, we can be friends.

Wouldent that be all of em?
Okay so it's your lifestyle. Congratulations. You're one of a bajillion people out there I don't know and could honestly care less about as individuals. I get annoyed when people get in my face with a 'tude about any issue.
And for the record, if I see two gay guys or two lesbians making out in public and I'm in a position to stop them, it sure as hell won't be because I'm homophobic. I'd kick my brother in law in the nuggets if I caught him necking with my sister in public. Some stuff ain't meant to be thrust in other peoples' faces.
On the flip side "straight" folks tend to freak out. Which is bad. Oh well.

Im straight always will be. Not saying i dont have an occasional fleeting homosexual thought. Sometimes i think a guy looks very handsome. Doesnt make me gay, just OPEN I geuss.
Frankly i think anyone who downs people for who/what hey lay down with needs a big glass of "mind your own bussiness". If its not hurting you or someone that is special to you why should be be your business? Some things should be public bussiness. This is not one of them.
1.He decides I'm the love of his life, and comes on to me.
2. He refuses to understand that I do not want him, nor do I want to be with him; and not even a court restraining order or being jailed several times for the offense doesn't stop him...
3. He starts stalking me, sending me love letters, and follows me everywhere I go despite repeated attempts to get away from him (which may involve moving to another country)

Bloodsage had this to say about Optimus Prime:
And, just so Woody doesn't leave disappointed:What's the point of claiming to be open-minded, if you're going to--preemptively--call anyone who may disagree with you "ignorant and narrow-minded"?
Uhmm no. I never stipulated that disagreeing with me was ignorant and narrow minded, Mr. for-the-sake-of-precision. But people who would "flame" me just for saying I don't see an issue with finding love where ever one can, in my opinion, is ignorant, intolerant, and narrow minded.
Disagree with me all you want. I don't care. But don't flame me for my opinion.
EDIT: For the sake of clarity... flaming someone for their opinion is what I consider ignorant and narrow minded.
Notice, "awaits the flames of the ignorant and narrow minded". NOT, "awaits the opinions of the ignorant and narrow minded". Flames is the operative word there.
That was the point. That's the way it was written. You of all people should have been able to read that as it was written.
Now I ask you... whatever bug you have up your ass for me, please get over it. I wouldn't expect YOU to miss the obvious just because of some personal bias. Damn dude, I've been trying to look at your views as hard-laced but sensible and make nice with you slowly. But this kind of interpretation of what was a simple, and easy to understand, statemement is rediculous. I don't get it all. [ 01-21-2002: Message edited by: Woody ]
Thanks in advance for any answers you might have.

My bad. Whoopsy doopsy. If we could LEAVE it at that, it'd be simple and this thread could just go on as intended. Without a flame war (not yet in this thread, but any thread is a potential flame war) so let by-gones be by-gones as it were and leave it at rest. I grew impatient and I grew angry. I have a very low tolerance for anything slow (ironic, I am lazy) so in no way was I looking for a fight.
Bat and Deth, hope you could forgive me for the mistake last night.
Thankyouverymuch. Please come again.
{Edit: Left some shtuff out}
And Bat, it didn't notice the [Fear] tage next to your name. I understand how doing a raid in a zone like that would cause one to not respond to a message immediatly. And again, it's fault on my part for not being capable of sitting their and waiting for a response that no doubt, would have fixed everything.
