Ya know, it's that attitude right there that can truly start some serious arguments.
Your statement above is just as ignorant as all the "ignorant fools" you referred to. What YOU need to understand is that not everyone thinks like you, nor should they. You know why? Because your viewpoint isn't written in any lawbook, and in fact the lawbooks will soon say something quite the opposite, which means that not everyone should "become comfortable with it."
Many people believe that a homosexual lifestyle is an unnatural one. Many people believe that it is. So what does this mean? Not a whole lot, because everone is entitled to their opinion.
Therefore, you referring to people that disagree with this particular lifestyle as "ignorant," is much more ignorant than anything else I've read here.
On a final note, and I'm already assuming this will happen, but don't label me based on what I just wrote. I, in no way, showed that I was for one side of the argument or the other. I only pointed out that you can't go around making an argumnent for the general good when it's not clear to everyone as a whole what the general good is.
These organized events are actually quite positive and it isn't like Gay Days is a huge gay pride parade. It is just a group of people that, for a few days, want to be surrounded by people who they KNOW aren't judging them. And it is also good because it is bringing something Taboo into a topic of conversation so that people slowly become more comfortable with it. Minority groups that hide in the background and blend in will never get anywhere! Sure, it might make the ignorant fools happy but that sure isn't progress. Ohh and I don't appreciate my horrible High School experiences being summed up into... "You're too sensative." RIIIGHT. Apparently, having peers that make life miserable for you for about 5 years straight is just something every kid should deal with? Puhleeze.
