Can't fully reply to your whole post as I'm a little pushed for time, but this stood out.
In the content of his post, that's how I saw it as he was referring to a gay person/being gay/someone's gayness.Originally Posted by Sasquatch
If it's used out of that context to use to say "stupidity" in the same way you'd use "gay", then more love to you. I should have been more clear on the context, but whatever.
Well, it was actually worse at another girls school I had a friend at, and the headteacher was an open lesbian. You'd think that school would have a higher tolerance considering, but no. If you were a discovered lesbian there, you'd go to the bottom of the food chain, as it were.Translation: It's not as acceptable at the all-girls school that you went to.
When two women make out, do something sexual, or insinuate it, isn't it usually in an objectifying or demeaning manner? It's always a show for the males who might be watching, and rarely anything else besides.Try to think of how many television shows, movies, ads, or commercials you've seen that include two females either in a sexual act or insinuating that they're about to start one. Now try to think of the same scenes with males.
While most females may be just as impartial to male homosexuality as they are to female homosexuality, males are much different. While displays of female homosexuality (and, thus, female homosexuality itself) are encouraged by males, displays of male homosexuality (and, thus, male homosexuality itself) are highly discouraged, sometimes to extremes.
Only film I can suggest which for the audience was different to watch was Black Swan, but even in that, the main chracter had her male boss being a douchebag
SPOILER!!:
So if it's not objectifying and demeaning to us, in the film it probably is. Probably also means more guys went to see the film just for the touching and lesbian scenes, because there was a lot of that.
Also, for reference, when I went to see that film with my friend, there were a group of girls sitting next to us, who were actually, genuinely disgusted at all of the lesbian stuff. They were lucky me and my friend were beyond their levels.
While it's "acceptable" in movies, doesn't mean it's as acceptable in real life.
Also, imo, if two gay guys want to hold hands and make out in public, by all means... go ahead. It doesn't bother me. How can people's right to display affection be denied because a bunch of anal (no pun intended) assholes "don't get off at that type of thing". And that's all it's about; what you can and can't get off to.
I completely agree.Originally Posted by Rocky
