LGBT thread.

But ah, this is where it gets confusing! As you mention above, they want to be apart of the community and be accepted in the community as LGBT, but then again, the LGBT wants the same rights as "straights". And when they are given the same "rights", then the turn around and say something along the lines of "Hey we are our own group we are special. Treat us like we are special."

Do straights have a community? I am not defending straights or the LGBT, and I do believe that everyone, men, woman, gays, straights, trans, bis, deserve the same and equal rights as someone else, but dont flaunt that you are a special group that need your own special attention. I am going to treat everyone the same.

I do feel an outcast from the LGBT world and from the straight world but that just mean I can create my own group, full of awesomeness.

 

Tbh I don't think the LGBT community was made to stand out. It was made so as quoted earlier to make LGBTs not feel like an outcast. And I for one am proud to be part of my university's LGBT society. I am 100% openly gay myself to the point if a stranger asks me bluntly if Im gay I'll reply yes. Why hide from what you are? You are born the way you are and shouldn't be treated any differently.

I can't comment on the equal rights as I live in the UK and we have equal rights here.

 

I completely agree. And if anyone is updating that list in the first page, you can add me as gay. I am proud of it!

 

You can add me as Pansexual

 

I have a question. I''m still a bit confused as to what it means to be a pansexual, the definition on the first page of the thread gives me some idea but I would like to hear it from someone who actually is a pansexual to describe it better for me.

 

Ask Luke he'll tell you! And Good for you Tetiro, welcome to the LGBT community thing list... Well you get the Idea...

 

Fall in love with anybody. Gender blind.

 

so is that the same as bisexual or is it a totally different thing on its own?

 

You could add me to gay on that list, if you wanted too.

Pretty odd that it's been four years since I came out already.

As far as terms go, wouldn't pansexual be kind of insulting to bisexuals, rather than glorifying it?
Isn't it bad enough that there are people out there that tell them "they just need to choose already!"?

So to me, saying your "pansexual", is kind of like saying bisexual refers to the sexualities core of only being attracted to both sexes instead of a bisexual being able to love either one.

Just my two cents.

 

Well bisexuality generally refers to male and female. There are more than two sexes. Well there are considered to be more than two.

 

oh I see so a person who is pansexual wouldn't mind being with someone who is transgender or something like that?

 

More than two? From a strictly biological standpoint (Cuz that's the easiest way I can think of explaining gender), how are there more than two? If you don't have a Y chromosome, you're a female. If you have a Y chromosome, you're a male. Obviously there are intersex conditions that screw up with that, but people who have those conditions try their best to argue that they're male or female.

 

Metaphorically, Male trapped in female body, Female trapped in male body. Stuff like that from what i understand.

 

..........just add me as STRAIGHT! nothing more nothing less.....
