<p>Don't you think gay people have the best situation? I mean they actually like being gay, they can't get pregnant, and they're not allowed to marry (at least in 48 states). How can life get any better than that?</p>

<p>Next time, buy a gay person a drink. They're not the ones spitting out ugly kids who are competing with you for the UCs. They're not spitting out 4-5 kids to clog your parking lot, using all our natural resources, and spending all our welfare money.</p>

<p>I'm consider myself mainly conservative, but I think gays definitely have a spot in our society.</p>

2

<p>Yes, but I wouldn't consider them to be lucky in society. There are still many hate crimes committed against individuals of the gay population, but I think the situation is improving. And some would argue that not being allowed to marry is a negative aspect of being gay.</p>

<p>"Don't you think gay people have the best situation?"</p>

<p>lol no. They don't even have rights.
I would never want to be something that is commonly used as an insult (gay).</p>

4

<p>Lmao........</p>

5

<p>You make it sound as if being straight is a bad thing - a crime against humanity.</p>

<p>I agree with catsushi. There are advantages to being gay, but in the end, there are probably more disadvantages.</p>

6

<p>you can't be serious. very few, if any groups, have as much as a social stigma as gay people in society today.</p>

7

<p>have you ever seen that Onion about gays no being allowed to fight in Iraq because they are too precious? its hilarious</p>

<p>but
I completely disagree with the OP. Ive seen a gay kids beat up at my old school</p>

8

<p>^Yeah, I saw that a few months ago. It's one of their best Onion News segments, comparable to the one about concentric circles emanating from the glowing red dot.</p>

9

<p>Please, please, tell me that you're not being serious. I've seen people get ridiculed, beat up, and told that their very existence is a blight upon humanity because they were gay. I'd hardly consider that a good situation.</p>

10

<p>Being bisexual, I would say no, we don't have it better, but it is improving. :)</p>

11

<p>^ Ha, thats good.</p>

12

<p>Uh...a vast majority of gays will consider not being able to marry as a disadvantage.</p>

13

<p>when i'm in this thread an ad on the left hand side pops up for the "gay fitness community" anyone else get this?</p>

14

<p>Yeah you try walking down the street holding hands with a person of the same gender and see if it's the "best situation". When I went out in public with my (now ex)girlfriend we only got two kinds of attention- those who looked down at us and the guys who wished they could watch us. Neither of which are appealing.</p>

<p>I have no idea where you got your perception of this gay lifestyle, but you're dead wrong. Gays wish they could marry. They wish they could come out in public without being looked at differently. They wish they could adopt, or even buy an apartment without fear of being discriminated against.</p>

15

<p>The ad is normal. The ad you see on this thread depends on key words being discussed here. (in this case, it's "gays")</p>

16

<p>@romanigypsyeyes, that is nonsense. The gays love me discriminated against. They love the attention! Lol, I knwo so many people who think that.</p>

17

<p>This made me laugh. And you're 2/3 right, at least in my case- I do like being a lesbian (when my uber-Catholic dad isn't giving me the silent treatment over it), and I don't want kids at all, so having the pressure off is nice. I do really wish I could get married someday, though, and it'd be nice if I didn't get unpleasant treatment (from both sides) for being a gay Christian.</p>

<p>So, yeah, where's that drink of mine, CCers? :D</p>

18

<p>I think the worst part for gay people is when their parents disown them... that really breaks my heart...</p>

19

<p>^^ I am glad I am not the only non-straight christian.</p>

20

<p>^^ If I ever came out to my parents, my father would disown me. My mother wouldn't care, but she would tell my father.</p>
