I saw that and I was just like -_-'. There is nothing wrong with being gay and it should never be used as an insult.

Exactly! I was really annoyed by that. Btw did you notice just on this thread someone posted a question on how many ppl may be gay on this forum...for me it's like why is any one's sexuality any of our business...😡

Hey I never really thought of that. Can we find out how many people are gay on this forum? That will be interesting.

Am not sure which post you are talking about but i get the gist..I hate it when people associate their preconceived notions and some stupid stereotypes to gays and lesbians..I guess its partly the fault of movies as well..The way gays are portrayed in most movies is almost cringe-worthy..Almost like some sort of a comic relief with absolutely no connect with the reality and total lack of sensitivity..And to those who have a problem with gays, i just wanna say mind your own business..Its their life and so long as they don murder or rape, its not your problem..It amazes me how people almost casually fling comments like 'Oh thats so gay" to indicate lack of masculinity🥱 Show some sensitivity people

The mods closed that post and I am glad they did.

I agree hollywood and Dostana are guilty of stereotyping gay people but there are also many shows where it is shown as a natural state for a human to be in. Spartacus on the Starz network in the States for instance is very open about gay relationships. It is so refreshing!

Honestly since when did being gay define your physical capability? I almost wanted to remind that particular poster that Rock Hudson, Neil Patrick Harris, Matt Bomer...all very good looking and masculine men were/are gay!!!

Thanks for supporting the post! I really believe we as posters on a forum have a moral obligation to not be bigots...especially when the issue itself is so sensitive. 😊

I meant Hindi films😆 Most of them, esp. these KJO type fluff movies do a very bad job at portraying gays🥱 Its so disconnected from reality..And yeah, as far as associating lack of masculinity with gays is concerned, its quite the opposite in real life..The hottest guys out there are gay..When i found out Neal Caffrey is gay, it broke my heart, not cos i have a problem with it but because i realized i don stand a chance😆 Not like i did otherwise but still😆

Lol I was an emotional mess when I found out Matt Bomer was a father with three kids and gay! Damn! I'll settle for being his best friend tho 😆

as far as i know, gay means happy 😃

I would also like to add that its the attitude of these shallow minded people in the society which forces gays to lead a dual life..And in the process, an innocent girl's life who is used as a beard to cover up, is ruined for no fault of hers..If only these people looked at things with an open mind, so many would readily come out of the closet🥱

Yup! I am waiting for the day when all countries and every state legalize gay marriage! The world be a happier place!
