(*Raises Hand*)

...Well I did have a crush on a (*Presumably*) straight guy way back in, like, 6th grade, but I didn't know what it was at the time.

If Christians in the USA run out of enemies, I assure you old slurs like "papist" will resurface.

You serious?

Is that how Christians work states side?

They need an enemy to function?

Would you call them "creeps" and "stalkers"? If what they did was understandable and not-wrong, how is a gay person going after a straight crush not equally justified? If not more so, in fact, since, being gay, the amount of interesting people VS the amount of people interested back is simply disproportionate. I can't imagine how frustrating that would be.

Define "Going After". I think it's perfectly reasonable to simply ask someone out.

I asked a out guy I had a crush on once. Turned out he was straight, we're good friends now.

No big deal.

@Starship

There ARE Camp Gay guys out there, that are no less deserving of respect and equal treatment then Striaght Gay, I know a few.

I don't see why Camp Gay is so offensive.

No, that's not how Christians stateside work. It's how fake poser Christians work. Anywhere.

What is a fake poser Christian?

I've only heard that used against Mainstream European Christians

I don't like Camp Gay, and it's severely over-represented.

While we're on this tangent, is it homophobic to be extremely irritated by Camp Gays? General question. I would hope not, because whenever the genuine article appears they tend to annoy the shit out of me, but I want to get some different perspectives on it.

To be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with harbouring distaste towards the extreme end of anything, which is why "moderate" is one of my favourite words waii

I think that holding being Camp against anyone is foolish and ignorant of the point the LGBT community is trying to make which is that despite our differences EVERYONE deserves acceptance and equal treatment.
