Should the White House have been lit up with Gay Pride colors?

The whitehouse looked real pretty but !! why we have to be bombarded about gays all the time . For godsake a lot of them are not born that way, but make it a lifestyle choice. A pity they wouldn't get over themselves.:rolleyes:

Sorry you feel that way, the gays speak very well of you.

I strongly disagree with your statement Fern. I've never me a gay man or who didn't say he knew he was different from his earliest childhood. Exactly what motive would cause a straight person to decide to become gay. There really aren't a lot of perks to being gay.
 
I did not decide to be heterosexual. I was born this way, as was my son. My nephew, however, was born gay. His right-wing Evangelical mother kicked him out in the street at thirteen when he came out to her. I raised him after that. Fern, no one would willingly choose to be the target of homophobia. In many places it can get you killed. In my opinion, it is we heterosexuals who need to get over ourselves. I still remember Stonewall. my nephew has scars on his back from 'whip away the gay' efforts by his cult family. Darn right, the White House should fly the rainbow flag. Mr. president, I applaud you.

It doesn't work that way, being gay is not a "choice", and they don't try and recruit people to join their 'team'. Elaine was just satirizing the misconceptions about gays in this episode:

 
I had a very good friend when I was a teen, and she was a lesbian. She said she knew when she was very small that she was more like a boy and was different than her sister. Unfortunately, she had a very abusive father too, who beat her mother and had a volatile temper with the family. In my mind this may have had a small influence on her sexuality, but she was basically born gay, either way. She knew I was straight and only interested in boys, and although she was very fond of me, she never tried to win me over to her way of life and respected my heterosexuality. She was a beautiful and kind person, and a wonderful friend. :sentimental:
 
Back to the topic, the lighting made the WH look like a Las Vegas casino...
 
I do think it is entirely possible for a female to choose lesbianism as a lifestyle,but I don`t think that happens much (if at all) with men. Maybe you would have to say she was bi-sexual in the first place but I don`t really think that`s always the case. I`ve heard of so many women who,after being married for years and having kids,entering into lesbian relationships the "second time around." Maybe because they were badly treated by their husbands or other men-not sure. And maybe just because women have more of a tendency to create very close friendships with other women. My youngest daughter and her best friend of 20+ years were roommates in their early 20`s and never even used the second bedroom in their townhouse-they always slept together. They had boyfriends at the time and are both now married with kids. But if the two of them ever found themselves single again,I wouldn`t be the least bit surprised to see them in a relationship together. They just love each other that much-and I don`t think sex would necessarily even play into it-just like it doesn`t in some heterosexual relationships (so I`ve heard...)

Sorry-I know that was OT but I didn`t want to start a new thread....
