Paid Members DJ Kris Posted June 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 It's a shame people are still taking it up the arse for being gay in this day and age, but like most things it takes time to work the attitude out. Wasn't it still against the law 50 or so years ago? Plenty of old folks still come out with comments about them darkies, but the younger generation seem to have moved forward. Same with homophobia to a degree. The older generation don't get it, but while the younger ones might make their little jokes many really couldn't give a fuck if their best mates gay or their sister likes the pussy. Religion seems to have a lot to answer for here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a real atmos in the US that it's fine to say these things, hiding behind the shield of free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a real atmos in the US that it's fine to say these things, hiding behind the shield of free speech. But where do those attitudes come from in the first place? It's very hard for me to say about the US because I'm not there, but anytime I've come across comments a hell of a lot of them seem to use The Bible as defence of their views. I'd like to hope with every generation things would improve, not only with the teaching of the Bible, but with the strengh of the views the parents pass onto their kids.

Â A good amount of it is the bible, true, but plenty of that is people who will wave the bible around as a defense of their prejudices, without having the actual devotion to church and church life that earlier generations could point to. And a goodish amount of them are swearin', and fornicatin', and actin' like hounds that done taken human form, can you say LAWD CHEEZUS, and at the same time judging people on their sexuality.

Â It's about power, for the most part - sex is one of the few aspects of life where people can't be forced physically to do what someone tells them, so the pressure is exerted through social, cultural and, mainly, religious avenues. I've yet to see any of those troglodytes answer the argument frequently brought up (and so wonderfully put by Jed Bartlett in The West Wing) that basing their homophobia on the Bible is pure hypocrisy, in that they often cite Leviticus to justify it, yet say nothing about the many other violations which are punishable by death, such as wearing to items of clothing of different material or colour, or planting two different crops alongside each other, nor do they mention anything about how the same segment of the Bible not only condones slavery, but even provides guidelines as to the best price to charge for selling one's own daughter. Â Â As to Oreos, the best I ever had were the chocolate-coated ones - they seemed to have been imported from Spain, though, as I've not seen them anywhere else.
