YaY for gay people

No,actually I read it that you were using the Alex Trebeck phrasing to confirm that you didn’t think it existed…but whatever…

Sorry too snarky

I’m kind of curious as to how many couples like that do indeed exist…even in this new age I’m pretty certain it isn’t that common…

[reply][reply][reply][reply][reply]Seriously, though. Is/was Bruce Jenner gay? I haven’t figured that one out. He identified with a woman but he was married to a woman. Now he is a woman and isn’t married at all. He looks like a butch woman now, and often butch women are lesbians. Is Caitlyn a lesbian that likes other women? If so, who would he/she attract? Lesbians typically like other woman but Caitlyn isn’t really a woman. How does that work?

Two different/separate things. Gender identity is one, who you are attracted to is another. She identifies as a woman and will remain attracted to women.[/reply]

If he identifies as a woman and is attracted to women then that makes him gay. He is a lesbian.[/reply]

Congratulations. You have just answered your own question.[/reply]
So, you’re saying jenner is a gay woman? what reason was their for him to switch genders if that was the case, especially since male/female trapped in the other body and such is probably what gay is? It would seem gender got it right and Jenner reversed it.[/reply]

See post #39 on the previous page.[/reply]
Doesn’t really address this situation.

I’m going on the idea that gender/sexual identity is created by who you are attracted to.

If Jenner is attracted to girls, what is it about his personality (I guess) suggests to him he’s a woman?

If he’s into dudes it would be obvious to me that nature screwed up his physical gender assignment and him wanting to be physically made to resemble a woman would sorta make sense.

If he’s into women what part of him decided his gender as a man was wrong, and that he really is a gay woman? Especially going on the idea that a gay woman had nature screw up her physical gender in the building process to resemble a woman instead of a man.

Kris Kardashian would eat her own children if it was economically profitable. I think Bruce is making his own decisions in this matter, but I honestly would not have been surprised if it came out that that family made an agreement for Bruce to do this just because the ratings for their show was in the toilet and most people stopped giving a crap about them.

My theory is that he realized that as a man who won some Olympic gold medals the best he could do was be on some Wheaties boxes for awhile. Meanwhile, all these sorry Kardashian’s did was be in a porn tape or some crap like that and they got their own TV show and all of that other crap. I think Jenner got a case of vagina envy and that’s about it.[/reply]

That makes sense to me.

You call me conspiracy minded. That is a pretty dark conspiracy… Although it could all be a hoax for ratings (Still ain’t watching their show) I haven’t personally seen his crotch.
Whatev…

No. The two do not have to be related, as is the case I already stated of two post-op transgender people, one which is male and the other female.
Transgender: Everything in your being is telling you that you are female inside a male body or a male inside a female body.
Gay/Lesbian: You are sexually attracted to the same sex with which you yourself identify.

Transgender: Everything in your being is telling you that you are female inside a male body or a male inside a female body.

What makes one a female or male, specifically?

Good question.
You tell me.
You identify yourself as male. Why?
Gay men identify themselves as male? Why?
A fraternal chimera (an absorbed inside the womb twin, where the single-birth person carries two sets of DNA) is both male and female and may feel one way or the other or possibly as both.

I don’t see absorbed fetal twin on this choice of genders . . . we should probably sue Facebook.

I honestly think He’s a gay man but couldn’t bring himself to deal with it so instead he surgically altered his body to match his sexual desires to keep from being “gay.”

“No, No, I’m not gay, I’m a chick trapped in a dudes body.”
That makes sense to me.

That could be possible, but not likely.

Does the “woman trapped in a man’s body” perhaps make selling this to one’s ex a bit more palatable too? Instead of being pissed off that your gay husband had lied to you for 20 years and really just wanted a hairy dude to cuddle with . . . you have to feel sorry for him carrying this burden all his life and if he’s “trapped in a man’s body” he’s kind of the victim instead of just a lying dick.

I’m not saying this is the case here. Just brainstorming, I guess.

You identify yourself as male. Why?

Cause I have male gender equipment and I am attracted to women and I like boobs too.

Gay men identify themselves as male? Why?

because they have the male gender equipment but are attracted to men

A fraternal chimera (an absorbed inside the womb twin, where the single-birth person carries two sets of DNA) is both male and female and may feel one way or the other or possibly as both.

understandable based on their mix of hormones.

My guess, all of the Mrs. knew at some point. Rather they admit it or not…

Never lie to yourself. Always be who you are.

I don’t know what half this stuff is.

im sipping 12 year old scotch, so i’m going to jump in here…

my position on homosexuals is… i do not give a shit. i really don’t. the gender confusion/role play thing is strange to me. and for some reason, i’m not sure why, but i have a history of lesbians not liking me. It’s an inside joke with me and my buddies.

Back to the role thing… i don’t get it. the butch thing, wallet in back pocket, haircut - the whole fashion of it. seems silly. the whole lipstick lesbian and butch thing. (it’s the butch lesbians that do not like me, btw) i should mention… that i am a big anti-fashion person. so maybe that’s part of it. i don’t know.

mooney? input please.

time for a refill. i’ll look at this post in the morning at work and think, why the fuck did i type that. but hey, fuck it.

Back to the role thing… i don’t get it. the butch thing, wallet in back pocket, haircut - the whole fashion of it.

trying to make their image match their urges

The thing that annoys me is that when states choose to legalize weed the US looks away but when they states decide how they want to deal with gay marriage the US puts the foot in the door. The issues don’t really concern me but the way the US picks and chooses what it wants to do puts me off. I can’t imagine we’ll go more than 100 years before the shit hits the fan.

This will derail the current heated transgender discussion, but…what the hey.

The SCOTUS ruling made me scratch my head when I heard it because I had no idea a ruling was even being debated at the time.

The timing just seems strange - like, why now? Why was this not being attempted in the late 90s or something?

I think the way this decision was handled is extremely poor, and will ultimately be damaging to the campaign for overall acceptance of gays in U.S. society. I think that simple democratic process, rather than a supreme court ruling, would have eventually led to something like this anyway. Society seemed like it was already trending in this direction; so as usual this seems like a deliberate attempt by central authority to simply get us all yelling and screaming at each other over petty “culture war” positions while their other nefarious activities go totally unnoticed.

As it now stands now, the suddenness of the decision is going to freak out a lot of the kind of people who already think their ‘traditional’ culture is being destroyed, and I predict (and the word there is predict, not hope) there will be more than a little bit of boneheaded retaliatory violence.

It had been on the docket for like the last six months and aside from the ACA the most highly anticipated ruling.

??? WTF??? What are you talking about? something like 65% of the country supports gay marriage. They handled the ruling the same way the court always handles rulings “We find in favor of …”

I think that simple democratic process, rather than a supreme court ruling, would have eventually led to something like this anyway.

So, you are in favor of letting a minority group get fucked over until we all agree it sucks? well over half the country wanted marriage equality, that is a simple majority. pretend that’s why the SCOTUS stepped in.

Society seemed like it was already trending in this direction; so as usual this seems like a deliberate attempt by central authority to simply get us all yelling and screaming at each other over petty “culture war” positions while their other nefarious activities go totally unnoticed.

Like what they did when separate but equal was stuck down and integration was forced upon poor old southerners, right?

As it now stands now, the suddenness of the decision is going to freak out a lot of the kind of people who already think their ‘traditional’ culture is being destroyed,

The exact people who were gravitating towards acceptance, right?

I predict (and the word there is predict, not hope) there will be more than a little bit of boneheaded retaliatory violence.

best to just let us spit upon the gay instead the establishment forcing us to beat upon them??? never violence towards gays but now this ruling changes everything. the gloves are off!!! [mad]

Gotta say I can’t quite follow let alone agree with your brand of logic here.
