Waggy great link, i have no problem being on an islang with gay men, just throw in a soccer ball(RIP justin fashanu),,,

To quote blondebo "The homophobe is a homo" ,, i am not a homophobe and i'm not a homo but i have no problem with u calling me a homo,,,

words from andrew belonsky
I’m humbled everyday. I’m humbled by New York’s massive buildings. I’m humbled by the brutally attractive painter I see down the road. I’m humbled by the shit head who calls me a “faggot”. Sure, the resultant meagerness doesn’t feel so hot, but it’s necessary. My heart breaks with every humbling experience. But, as we all know, hearts are resilient muscles. They heal. It may take a minute, it may take a year, but every one of our emotional scars makes us stronger. It’s my - and your - strength that makes me the most proud.

Gay people are fighters. We’ve overcome so much, been beat down by disease, discrimination, religion and politics. Regardless of the abuse, we come roaring back with a lavender vengeance. With tenacity, gumption and a whole lot of spirit, we continue to forge ahead, to live Stonewall on a daily basis, to challenge the haters and open the doors for younger generations.

Pride’s about remembering these struggles. Pride’s about looking forward to more triumphs. Pride’s about recognizing our flaws, our weaknesses, keeping ourselves in check. Pride should not be isolated to one day out of 365 (Or 366, depending on the year).

Pride should not simply be about self-respect, admiration or celebration. Pride must be rooted in a desire to make the world a more loving, liberal and progressive place. Pride must be based in the struggle for universal freedom.

While some gays would rather keep to themselves, existing in a gay ghetto and associating solely with other gays, I’m not one of them. There are too many beautiful, interesting and compelling people in this world. There are too many people in need, too many people who find themselves disenfranchised. Pride should serve as a reminder to us that there’s more to be done, and not just for gay people. If we can’t use our lessons learned to teach others, what’s the point? There’s nothing more shameful than selfishness.
