Why do SOME gay men find it neccessary to talk in a really camp voice? it's fucking annoying.
(, Wed 27 Jun 2012, 20:53, 2 replies, latest was 13 years ago)
Same reason some straight men find it neccessary to make derogatory remarks about women.
In every sub culture there are annoying people.

So they can show just how incredibly gay they are
that they need a whole month to celebrate it.
Whereas the millions that died in two world wars get one day.

The right wing in this one is strong I think.
A whole month?

Do you know how many gay men died in the first and second wars?

surely that's more reason to remember?

None in the US army
They didn't ask and they didn't tell.

Precisely.
Gay and black men were never mentioned as part of the force that fought in both world wars.

We're at cross purposes I think?
Still don't see why one's sexuality gets a month but the death of millions of all sexualities, colours, faiths, etc gets one day.

Do they get a month?
I don't think so. Women get a week. Any problems with that?

Surely women get a week every month??
there is an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) history month. Every February.

Hardly common knowledge or even widely accepted.
It's not a competition about who gets the most time. Soldiers, mostly, become soldiers and know what they are getting into. Gay people do not choose to be thrown into a scenario where they may be attacked or killed just for being who they are.
(, Wed 27 Jun 2012, 21:30, Reply)
true, but
both world wars had conscription, so not a lot of choice there either.
Maybe it's just where I work that pushes it, others as you say may not be so aware.

War is a man made construct. Homosexuality isn't.
I respect more the conscientiousness objector than the soldier. But being half German, I would say that wouldn't I.

Agreement to your first point is dependent on if you believe homosexuality is genetic or a result of childhood nurture.

(, Wed 27 Jun 2012, 21:40, Reply)
Is it fuck nurture.
If that was the case then every sibling would be gay too.
(, Wed 27 Jun 2012, 21:43, Reply)
I have a nephew who is gay.
We guessed as much from the age of six. His brother is straight.
(, Wed 27 Jun 2012, 21:44, Reply)
Only if all the children in that family were treated the same. I know a couple of people who are gay and so are all their siblings (sometimes only one sibling in total).

(, Wed 27 Jun 2012, 21:46, Reply)
Imagine you are born a soldier and are aware that because of it you may die or be persected.
Hardly the same.

it occurs in animals, too

cheers for the sensible discussion.
