It's a nice retort, but I wouldn't use that as a basis to build defenses against homophobia.  If you really want to silence the homophobes, I often find that discussing the concept of intersex/multiple sex species like the fishes in Joan Roughgarden's "Evolution's Rainbow" often leaves people confused and disoriented by the concept of non-traditional gender roles. 

People are often obstinate to embrace 'big' concepts like evolution in behavioural sciences though.

One of the beautiful things about living in Toronto and going to the University
of Toronto is the close proximity of one of the largest gay communities in the
world. I am straight, but growing up with a gay aunt and several gay cousins
has afforded me the privilege of not only being open-minded about sexuality,
but in other areas of life -- such as bioethics, politics, religions, and most
of all, people. It's unfortunate that change usually has to happen gradually.

*so* jealous.
I want to move to Canada now.

ME TOO!
I could actually get married in Canada... *wistful sigh*

Toronto (Canada) is great, but too bad I had to be born a Leafs fan.  Stupid team.

It wasn't really a retort, I just saw it in my subscriptions box on YT, so I posted it.

I love a good fight as much as the next guy, but can we just ignore the closed-minded loons for now?

Does anyone want to do some Gold runs? Gamertag: omfgphysics

Sorry to post in here again, but this kind of talk is exactly what set me off.

I was called hateful here.  What is this then?  See the double standard?

Sorry, no tolerance for intolerant people. And smokers. Especially the latter...

No. You were called hateful because you're going out of your way to impose hate on others.

LOL~ Sorry only been into the whole Mass Effects series for about a year. I love these games though, ME was my first experience with online community play. I've made a lot of great new friends playing ME on the xbox live. I look forward to meeting more and doing gold runs and what not.

The whole problem starts when you declare being gay in a game lobby. How the hell would have other people known of your sexuality otherwise?

Queerness has become too much? We're not even acting "gay." Hell, you can't even see us. What is your problem? Are you deficient or something? Stay away from this thread.

Another thing; me calling you a "closed-minded loon" (I didn't specifically call you anything) is not offensive, because it's true. You're looking to victimize others by projecting your own insecurities towards them.


You're a real piece of work. The nerve of some people.

I am writing this in the hope that you stop your "blaming the victim game". Your constant finger pointing at other people screaming “THIS MAKES YOU CLOSE MINDED YOURSELF". No it does not. The rejection of a close minded ( and yes that is what the idea is, it is the idea that only heterosexuality should exist because I cannot
stand homosexuality existing in the same world as I) idea is not close minded itself it is the perpetuation of a more open minded and tolerant idea. Open minded idea being that "Yes homosexuality does exist and even though I am heterosexual I can cope with the fact that it exists and can continue to exist in the same world as I" And if you need a more literal interpretation of open and close minded. Let's say people who do not like homosexuality, in a world with homosexuality that is present, decides to make a community of their own and lets no homosexual entity exist in the community then it is in fact a CLOSED community, No admission to anyone unless they are heterosexual.

Sorry to the OP for replying and making the thread derail even more just trying to educate.
Also to all the new people do not forget that I have created a group that could act as this thread should it be locked and that group is, right here on BSN, named “Rainbow Brigade".

Edited for spelling and clarity.

No no... sorry about the misunderstanding, I have played the whole series ME1 - ME3, I just have never played a series like it nor have I ever played a game like it online... such as Dragon Age and what not.

I guess I'm kindda a newbie to the whole XBox Live gaming...

Siiigh, just ignore and report them, going this far offtopic is gonna get the thread locked folks. :/ Happens everytime. And xyzmkrysvr(holy crap your name @_@) you can update me with a mic. That I use frequently.

Except that in a world where homosexuality is the 'main' orientation, humanity would almost completely black out in one to two generations due to lack of ability to reproduce.

Couldn't stop myself to answer one, last time:

You call trolls people with different look on sexuality? Sounds almost offensive.
