Sorry for the super long comment guys. You don’t have to read it on the show or anything, I was just honestly interested.
Sorry, Jeff, you are my fav drood (/lick) but I have to agree with your co-hosts. Being gay is not really a right, it’s just something that you are. Having a right dictates that you have a choice to do it or not. It’s not a choice to be black, gay, tall or short. You don’t really have a right to do any of these things. That’s just who people are. I think that’s why maybe Griff was a little upset about the word “right”. There is no choice in this.
And on the matter of being in peoples faces, there are some people who are “in peoples faces” with the gay movement. But not everybody is like that. Should everybody who is gay state the fact that they are gay all the time and be in their faces all the time? /ponders now I can see how bringing their mate to the company picnic or something like that is akin to something like a silent demonstration. Would you look down upon someone who is gay but is not outspoken about being gay? Not that they are hiding it, but doesn’t go out of the way to state that they are gay. Is this anything like if a person was of a mixed race, they would have to state that they are black and let everybody know this? Or do you see that this is something different? (That’s a serious question).
And I wonder how the percentage of straight people that marriage doesn’t matter compares to the percentage of gay people that marriage doesn’t matter. Do you think it’s comprable? I have no idea what the percentages might be. I was just wondering in my head.
Ok, sorry for me getting so deep. I honestly don’t get a chance to have a back and forth dialogue with somebody who is gay so I don’t get to ask the questions that I have always wondered. And on this same note, how do you feel when someone who is straight is generally interested in the way the gay culture feels about certain issues. Do you feel like you shouldn’t talk on behalf of the gay community? Do you feel uncomfortable? Are you excited that somebody wants to know more? As an African-American, I welcome back and forth dialogue and if somebody wants to know more, I love to try to educate but I do caution them that they are my views and might not necessarily reflect the views of other African-Americans. Future topic idea maybe?
Thanks guys so much and /lick Jeff.
