Man; we assume that these shows are meant to be stupid..but some kids don't know what an "assumption" is. While incorporating laughs and whatnot; there's a bit of "Gay" in there.

<p>._. I still don't see the gay. I don't see how a kid would associate oddball sponge with having gay sex or falling in love with someone of the same sex. </p>

Hey Quitejaded; do you remember the episode where Patrick and Spongebob found a clam (or "underwater bird")? Lol; that was the gayest show ever, spongebob was wearing head curls, and was also wearing "mom" robe...near the end of the show, the clam goes away, and Patrick says "Wanna have another one?" to Spongebob

[/quote]

Oh, haha I remember that episode. The only thing gay is that "wanna have another one?" part. Why didn't I notice? Patrick's a dumbass.
The two guys taking care of a baby. Its a CLASSIC scenario. And only recently have I heard people talking about how gay it is. "Two and a Half Men" is ruined.</p>

<p>That made me laugh(especially the last sentence)....LOL!</p>

<p>real quick-to wabash and the others who have either said that homosexuality is detrimental to our society or who have said anti-gay comments....the biggest detriment to our society is IGNORANCE, which so many of you have expressed on this topic. Look at history and all of the acts of history. From slavery, to the Holocaust....learn from the past and don't repeat it. It's disgusting reading some of these posts. </p>

<p>ANYWAY...
to the original poster. One of my best friends came out second semester of his freshman year of college. It was very liberating for him. He came out to his friends before he came out to his parents. Congratulations on being able to tell your parents -- I really think that would be harder than telling friends. Now that you have told your parents and you have their support (I hope), you know that you can always turn to them. You'll probably face some gay bashing (as you already have on this site), but in college and in life, you don't need to be everyone's best friend. If people are against your beliefs, move on...you don't need that negativity in your life. If you feel ready to tell your friends now, tell them. If not, wait. Do things at your pace. Dont' worry what others think about you. If they are really your friend a. they might already suspect it and/or b. they will support you. </p>

<p>In college, it'll be a new ballgame.....You won't have to explain this change to anyone...people will get to know you as you and you wont' have to make an announcement. </p>

<p>Good luck and surround yourself by good people who won't make you feel ashamed for who you are.</p>

<p>What classic scenario are you talking about? This is a kids show; they don't know that.</p>

everyone is born ignorant. please take the time to educate others. refusing to do that is a detriment to society as well.</p>

<p>thesloc, the classic scenario is a man or two men taking care of kids. A classic scenario in comedy. Usually by the end, the men realize that they enjoy taking care of the child. Why are you so nasty minded that you have to see it as gay? I hope you didn't watch that Daddy Daycare movie. </p>

Please. It seems to me that the people who are anti-gay on this site are not ignorant. Why do liberals label conservatives as ignorant?</p>

<p>oh the irony. i hate it when liberals label conservatives as ignorant. what happened to your principles of free speech and equal treatment? no one should claim the moral high ground.</p>

<p>sigh...this thread makes me cringe. what makes you think that attraction (physical or otherwise) can be forced? what makes you think that you can fall in love ONLY with someone of the opposite sex?</p>

<p>donkey, i think you should come out to your close friends and then hold until you enter college.</p>

<p>Gians, I believe the conservatives on this site agree that you don't choose to be gay. They believe that is it morally wrong to have gay sex. Am I right?</p>

<p>I've heard counselors at college tell prospective students to not come out in this essay applications but if you feel like you want to make a connection with other students at you school, then you could come out, but it also depends on the atmosphere of your HS</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>I'm not anti-gay people. They are normal everyday people. but i am against thier lifestyle.</p>

<p>well it used to be morally wrong to mix blacks with whites too at one point.</p>

<p>So would this encourage you to have male babysitters??? HAHA.</p>

<p>Maybe you, but not me.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>I hate "enlighted people....</p>

<p>Is that what the kid was talking about? coming out in his essay? Don't come out in your essay unless that's going to be a good part of your essay. Some creative students have gotten in writing a gay essay. But putting something like "I learned a lot because I'm gay" isn't... no. Don't do that.</p>

<p>hahaaaa. i love this.. im just gonna keep all my conservative "ignorant" thoughts to myself so i dont get bashed too much. but quitejaded has got the right idea.</p>

<p>i'm not a bleeding liberal. i tend to fall on the conservative side of things....HOWEVER.......i hate it when people discriminate others for being different that why they perceive "normal" is. bashing gay lifestyles is not going to fix out society.</p>

<p>"I learned a lot because I'm gay"</p>

Sloc, I just don't get you. I said that daddy daycare thing because you seem to be one of those people who think only gays like kids, do ballet, fix their hair, wear nice clothes, like teddy bears, or whatever.</p>

<p>If my feminist friends got a hold of you, you'd be very sorry.</p>
