Fine with gays but dislike flamers: wrong?

[cannabis=freedom]

I'm completely tolerant of homosexuality, and I have no problem at all if a guy just happens to be attracted to other men.

However, I've found that flamers annoy me. If you're gay, there's no reason you have to make a big deal out of it and be a limp-wristed fruitcake who talks in a high-pitched voice. I mean, homosexuality doesn't vanquish your testicles, so your voice should still be deep, right?

Most gay men are ordinary people who go to work, wear a suit, and don't make a thing of it, and that's totally cool. These fucking queens, though, really put me off; I thought of this because I met the flaming friend of a female friend of mine on the bus Thursday night.

Now, is this wrong of me? I always treat people with politeness and respect, and I would never make my irritation known, but I can't help but inwardly roll my eyes. Am I a bigot, or do I just prefer it when gay men act normal? I'm kind of confused here.

I agree completely with you. I have no problem with people being gay, but I do have a problem with flaming queers who make sure without a doubt that you know there gay. People who force you to acknowledge their faggotry and then call you intolerent when you tell them to chill out, are just as bad as the christians who are trying to force their beliefs on everyone else. Gays are always going on about choice, how what they do isnt anyone elses business, but the fact that we are forced to put up with their antics and are even punished by society for calling them out, is just another way of censoring us and not allowing people to say what they truly feel.

i agree.... completly i have no problem with the fact that gay people like other men but when they need to go above and beyond to show that there gay and all that stuff you described then yea it annoys me a little i dont care who you are or what gender you like but if u act like that then i wont like you

Exactly, man. At first I felt horrible because I thought that maybe I didn't like the guy because he was gay and that I was an intolerant pisshead...

But then I thought...guys like that aren't true gay guys...I mean, they obviously are, but it's like you know how a true stoner just smokes weed because he likes it and doesn't feel like he has to conform to any kind of act...that's what I'm talking about.

Yep i know what you mean theres nothing wrong with people being gay and everyone knowing but.. why advertise it??

Why talk in a womanly voice and walk and act like one??

Maybe its because so many of them feel like theyre a woman trapped in a mans body?

I don't buy that. The body you have is the one you were born with and the one you are destined to have: the universe doesn't make mistakes, I don't think.

There are guys, who aren't gay, that have the same problem. "Why does everyone think I'm gay just because I walk around like a flaming homo-?"

..I hope this doesn't turn into a debate with any spiritual crap. But I must say that being born male or female is pure chance and mistakes are made all the time. Hell that's how evolution works, reproduction isn't perfect and mistakes occur a creature with a hindering mistake would die out and be less likely to reproduce, the mistake/mutation that helps them survive better makes that creature a success and they pass it on to their offspring.

There are people born hermaphrodites, people born at birth with both genitalia, often times the parents will choose a gender at birth and they will surgically correct the problem. However the choice they made might not be a right one and when that child grows up they might realize it should have been another one.

It makes perfect sense to me that if nature could create a blunder at the halfway point, it's fairly likely nature could make a complete mistake and have a female be born a male or vice versa.

I agree with the topic to a point, I think some gays are trying too hard to be gay instead of just being who they really are. Though I don't think all "flaming" gays do it on purpose. There is other factors, such as who they were raised by, who their friends were as children. I mean if you have a gay man that didn't have any father figures raised by his mother and only had girl friends. He is going to be very "female". Hell even straight guys with a similar background are very "female".

Whatever. I'm not insecure about gays, flaming or otherwise.
Who cares if they're flamboyant?
Why are they any different from make up caked bimbos in high heels?
They have the right to express their personalities any way they want.
Seriously, I'm way more annoyed by beer guzzling Nascar fans and football hooligans than by gays, no matter how flaming.

LOL well apparently they can't help it..

I had a drag queen friend once, and he disliked prissy guys too. When he was "he" he was just one of the guys, but when he was "she" she was an outgoing girl unless you knew better. He had a lot of stress from not knowing who he wanted to be.
Just so you know the other side.

On Topic; I was kind of intimidated being around Kiki La Rouge, his drag name, and am also uncomfortable around most drag queens. I dislike "fairies" and avoid them, though I don't really care how they choose to live.
