Are you ashamed of your demographic?

Asked by mowens (8403points) April 19th, 2010

There is no way I can say this without offending someone. In advance, I would like to say offending people is not my intention with this question.

I’m gay. I am very comfortable with it, and all of my friends know, because in our minds, it is not an issue.

I am all for equal rights. But I understand, that with rights come both good and bad. Some people, when they finally see their taste of equality, they don’t like what they see… and call bullshit.

Women want equality. I say give it to them! More power to them… and just because you don’t have a penis it doesn’t mean that you are any less of a human. But, what enrages me, is when someone uses their demographic as a reason they can’t do something, then have the gull to cry about equal rights. To me, women should be ashamed of a woman who demands she doesn’t have to do the paperwok that comes along with her new job, just as I am ashamed to go to a gay pride parade because men are wearing assless leather pants and having sex in alleyways.

A woman I used to work with, could not get into the company van, it was too high up. After helping her, she told me that both me, and the van were racist because she couldn’t get into the van. I started laughing, because I thought she was kidding. I got written up for laughing.

African Americans HAVE to be ashamed of the statistics that go along with their demographic! I am of mine! Do you know what the chances of a gay male contracting HIV is?! My only solice is that I Differ from the norm.

We demand equal rights. We demand respect, yet, as a collective we give no respect. I know gay guys that call straight people breeders with malice… and that’s ok. But if someone jokingly calls that person a faggot? It is discrimination.

What about your demographic are you ashamed of?
