  1. I am out of my scope when I try to make suggestions to help the Lgbt community. It is not in my jurisdiction to do so therefore I apologise if I offended anyone within that community.

    However my only gripe was how so many lgbt supporters came out and decided to attack me for my potential hate for them which does not exist and their rights. If both sides thought things through as I have had the chance to on our errors of judgement neither side would be arguing.

    Pimd is an open community for ppl of all sexual orientations to socialise and thrive and should remain that way regardless of my acknowledgment.
     
  2.  I didn't read the thread therefore I don't care/ mind.
     
  3. Transgender*^^
     
  4. 1. I still fail to see how you could believe your suggestions were helpful... Lgbt people are the same as you and I, and don't necessarily want to only have friends of the same sexual orientation.. Just as much as I wouldn't refuse a friendship with a lgbt person based solely on their preference..

    2. You should be apologising to the pimd community as a whole, not just those who are of lgbt persuasion. I, as a straight person, was just as shocked and offended by your words.

    3. The reason you were attacked is because you showed ridiculously high intolerance. Please understand that, even if that was not your intention, this was how you were perceived.

    Finally, kudos to you for retracting your suggestion and attempting an apology. However, I expect that others will be likely to point out a few of the contradictions you've made in the structure of your statements.
     
  5. I don't see how u could be offended unless u know someone within the lgbt community. I am only apologising to them because I think my thread was directed towards them.

    I am aware of the consequences at least I was exposed to some of the backlash.

    My opinion or reasoning is that it would be more suitable for a lgbt to socialise w each other for support otherwise I have no qualms in trying get to know them knowing however I cannot understand the full scope of their issues.
     
  6.  dear goodness. You did it again.
     
  7. What makes you think they have 'issues'?
     
  8. Your reasoning of a segregation in the thread was to get them off campus... Which contradicts what you're saying now...
     
  9. All I said was for them to seek support w like-minded because I can't help them but I'm speaking for myself other ppl might be more willing to be supportive.

    This isn't to say I don't support their lifestyle choices, I just don't choose them for myself. To each their own.
     
  10.  I really don't want to argue with you about this matter any further, because I'm sure you'll continue to believe that your view is the only right one anyway..

    However, I will say that, as a person, not straight, gay, bi or transgendered - just a person - yes, I was highly offended.. You say that a straight person cannot understand the issues a lgbt? Do they not have the same feelings, thoughts, hopes and fears as us? Does who they develop feelings for somehow make them different to us? Perhaps you don't understand that they are the same as you and I.. Truthfully, I doubt you ever will.. 

    I won't respond from here.. I just find all this way too upsetting to continue arguing the point.. I do hope that one day you'll realise that there are a whole lot more similarities in us humans than there are differences
     
  11. I guess I'm assuming some must have issues in choosing their lifestyle and having conflict w traditional barriers. If they don't great. I don't really know to the full extent but I sympathise w those that do.
     
  12. Oh I do see the as ppl it's not about that but I cannot be supportive in their struggles w society if they have any.
     
  13. I'mma lookin but don't see anything there about support for them... Only that you want them gone so underage people don't see others sexual orientations.
     
  14. I see but it's not relevant to the game. If a child is struggling w the same issues of conforming than I say great integrate but if they are only soliciting like hetero persuasion I would refrain from their behaviour and move it to a club.
     
  15. Where are you getting the idea that their are struggling? There are many people out there who are proud of their sexual orientation regardless of what it is... It's small minded people like yourself who keep categorizing them as having issues or require support as they are struggling... Though this MAY be true in some cases, it isn't the norm. You should just stop trying to twist or justify your original thread. We can all see what you typed.
     
  16. It's an assumption just u are assuming I'm intolerant. I don't know enough to understand everyone in that situation and don't pretend to. I am quite a open-minded and liberal to an extent but I'm not as ostentatious as some of them may be that is all.
