Why do you feel the need to state the obvious?

I get people who feel the urge to state something I am already very aware of."Hey, you're a f****** f**!" and when people, mostly teen boys, though I seriously have had two adults say this to me and my friend "Lookin hot boys! F***** faires" I dont get what you want me to do/say? You state something that everyone can plainly see with their own eyes. "Yea, and?" is always my response. I just do not get what heckling and yelling at me will do. It won't make me any straighter. Im not going to stop buying Lady Gaga tee's and wearing tight jeans because you have some illogic hate for what I am. So tell me, whats the point at yelling "You ****ing ******!" when I walk by? My clothes wont transform into a football jersey and I wont get the sudden urge to attack anything with a vag.

So tell me smash boards, why, why do you think people do this?

I didn't know that Lady Gaga and tight jeans define the obvious for homosexual behavior.

Tight jeans are some of the most uncomfortable things to wear

I don't understand why any guy would put himself through that
After a while, if you dont wear them, you feel like either a slob, or naked.

When their on me, they are. And you know Us gays love our Gaga.

I didn't know that all gays enjoyed Lady Gaga.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they don't, just as I'm pretty sure that not every guy that likes Lady Gaga is gay.

I don't understand why so many people actually act as if musical preference and sexual preference are connected. Of course, someone may post some sort of study showing that there's a correlation, but if such a study does exist, really I'd place that more on it being socially acceptable for gays to enjoy certain music and people will either A) Pretend they don't like what isn't socially acceptable or B) Convince themselves that they don't like what isn't socially acceptable. Why? Because society is stupid and inspires judging like hell. And people care about being judged because they're stupid.

And then people go around and take time out of their day to call you a "******" because -- that's right -- they're stupid.

tl;dr: People are stupid.

Haters gonna hate, man. If people hate you for who you are, just think of how idiotic it is that they actually care what you do with your life, as if it actually affects them.

Any dude who listens to lady Gaga and likes it does qualify as homosexual. Also, tight jeans, no.

I'm not sure what you mean by "qualify", but seriously bro, I'm pretty sure your sexual orientation isn't dictated by your musical preferences, and vice versa.



I give up.

Does it matter, Lady Gaga is in your sig?

You're instantly awesome regardless of sexuality.

Edit: I own every Gaga song and am heterosexual.

Hm, I think you should change your message title a bit. It's very misleading.

As for the hate for gays, well, is it really surprising? So far, for thousands of years, both Racism and Sexism, two things even MORE destructive and hateful, have ruined the fun for everyone, so if even those two things can exist, discrimination based on sexual orientation is almost bound to occur. It is a mighty big shame though, you are correct.

Also, I think it's a generalization to say that people are stupid. It's just that SOME people are stupid.

Do I wear skinnies? Hell f*** yea.
Do I love Gaga? Yea, and Kesha, and Bieber.
Am I gay? Nope.

I won't go as far as buying a Gaga t-shirt, let alone any music tees. And let people hate you. The good guys are going to respect you either way.

sounds like you're living in a fairly homophobic community. "when they're on me, it's obvious" ... um, not sure what you mean by this, could you not be wearing -anything- and still it would be "obvious?" Are you in a large city or small town?? But yeah, generally speaking this type of homophobia is derivative of insecurity towards things that are different. Being an "obvious" homosexual makes them feel uncomfortable. IF you were ... "quiet" about who you are, so as not to "push" it on them, you get the idea; this is fairly stereotypical behavior from homophobes but it definitely doesn't make it any less hurtful or bothersome.

Those shoes are pretty rad. I hope you have some brighter laces for them though, bright sneakers/ laces combo is too good.

@OP:
In order to oppose this, do manly things. Like building stuff and then setting it on fire.

Though I get what you're saying. Maybe they think you're not gay and want to tell you that you look like a princess? :D

You know, I have some gay friends. Being gay doesn't give you the excuse to stick out like a sore thumb seeping with fluid, then be surprised when people make fun of you.
