ok this is going to sound really offensive and i dont mean any offence to anyone!!!
 
i promise, normally something like this wouldnt bother me but today it did. this girl in my 4th period class had a shirt on that said "i love lesbians"......like i said normally that wouldnt bother me but it did.im not a homophobe or anything, just something didnt feel right. (and no im not a lesbian), but i have no problem with gay people, you know, my phliosophy is: If I dont see it, why should I care?

I think it was because she was advertising it like it was something special that bothered me. i know it wasnt her as a person because she's really nice. but it still bothers me now, and i got out of school at 2. :confused: wow, im confused???????
i think it was the whole advertising thing, that bothered me.


im sry if i offended anyone. but its my opinion so i stated it.:)

The sad thing is most people who wear stuff like that are just being trendy.....It's become "in vogue" to wear t-shirts such as the one you've described....Chances are, she's not a lesbian and she's just trying to be cool.......If she is lesbian, more power to her, but it's still just a fashion thing......The "cool" thing is trying to blatantly offend people..

Attention, plain and simple. LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME , LOOK AT ME. I can't stand it. You'll see that a lot in school. Girls more than guys.

It's never a bad thing to say how you feel. If what you feel is hurtful say, "I feel this way, it's hurtful, and I don't like it." Then, people will understand that you have a certain problem with say, a specific group of people, and thus they can help you understand and overcome.

I don't think you're a homophobe, and there are 3 ways of looking at this.

1. Trendy is probably the right analysis. It is a very attention grabbing shirt.

2. Being a lesbian isn't always about sex despite the concept of sexualtiy being a second part to "homosexual." Lesbian is a type of woman. Just as heterosexuality doesn't define a person neither should homosexuality (unless we make it so, as this young woman was doing.)

3. I'm not comeing down on you, George, when I say this, but would it have been as annoying if she had a shirt that said, "I love men?"

haunted, to answer # 3, yeah that would have been anoying. really anoying accually? because truth be told in todays society people jump around to different sexes all the time, and even thats anoying.

But i do think the whole attention getting thing was what she was doing.

It was all about attention (get used to dealing with that and women, they go hand and hand) and the fact that it is "cool" and "in" and "trendy" to be a lesbian....its hip.....being a gay male however is a different story....keep that shit to yourself:rolleyes:

This culture makes me sick....

If you have no problem with gay people, how can it bother you?
