Unicyclist.com Gay/Straight Alliance

I feel as if we need one. Since there isn’t already one.

My favorite unicyclist in the whole entire world is gay! He’s also my younger brother.

its not necessary

Neither are the Jesus threads, but people post in them.

so true, i wouldnt be on either side actually, if someone is gay thats cool, it would be kinda weird if they started hitting on you though, my uncle is, and i think my spanish teacher is

in my school I saw a poster for a Gay/Straight allience.
and I wondered, doesnt that sort of cover everybody?
if youre not gay, youre straight.
if your not straight, youre gay.
so everybody is in a gay straight allience in theior everyday life.

well, I guess that excludes homophobes, who would not be interested in any gay/straight allience.

does it include bi-sexuals?

maybe bi-sexuals are living examples of gay/straight allience.

I think this whole gay thing is silly…let people do what they want, thats my philosophy on everything.

I really dont care if someone is gay or straight, or bi, as long as the gays or bis dont try to do anything to me, then im fine, otherwise ill be like “woah, two feet!” lol

My girlfriend friend is gay, and he has a major crush on me, its really funny, and he talk about how he wants to do me, i guess that be kinda sick, but as long as he doesnt try to make a move on me, im good =p

Needs to look up the meaning of “alliance” (does not mean parallel).

Do we need a gay/straight alliance among unicyclists? Not unless there are signs of strife. Do we need a thread about it? No, but the same applies to basically this whole area so why not?

Don’t like gay people? Don’t be one. Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one. Don’t like people with pimples? Uh… be sympathetic.

I am very confused, Is your girlfreind a guy? I assume you ment to say something like ‘My girlfreind has a homosexual freind, he has a major…’

I have more than a few LGBT friends and I’d support anything that they’d like to do. I tend not to even concider sexual orientations when I interact with people, so it’s a large non-issue for me.

I hope you’d recognize it as weird even if HETEROSEXUAL family members started hitting on you. Or teachers. It’s not allowed.

This sounds like a good activity to get going at NAUCC or UNICON. A gay or lesbian uni hockey and basketball team, for example.

For over 30 years, during Gay Pride Week in San Francisco, the SF Police played “the gays” in softball, and the gays usually won.

And I’m sure you’ve heard of the research that strongly suggests that homophobic men are supressing stronger homosexual feelings.

It always amazes me when people say things like this.

  1. Why would a gay person hit on a straight person? It makes no sense. Unless they thought you may be gay, why would anyone spend time trying to attract someone that you know isn’t interested in you?

  2. How is this any different than someone of the opposite sex that you’re absolutely not interested in hitting on you?

And even if it did happen, why couldn’t you just say “I’m sorry, I’m just not interested, but thanks”. shrug

What makes the situation “weird” at all. It’s just one person being attracted to someone they find attractive. This behavior transcends gender and sexual orientation.

  1. Maybe they’re just horny…it happens all the time. Never to me, but that’s just because I’m not amazingly sexy and good looking. I know plenty of people who have been hit on by gay people though, and its creeped them out, as much as it would creep me out.
  2. It isn’t, and to me, getting ‘hit on’ by anyone is creepy, because it doesn’t mean they like you, it means they think you’re hot and want to have sex. Or maybe just make out a little, I don’t know. Its not so much the being gay that bothers me, its the being sex-crazed, which happens with straight people too, I just think that being gay has more sex craze behind it than being straight.

If you’re turned-off by being hit on, then that’s completely understandable. However, the bit I quoted made no mention of that and had an emphasis of being hit on by “a gay person” - which is what I was talking about.

I don’t think any random gay person is in any way more “sex crazed” than any other random straight person. Hollywood certainly over-sensationalizes how sexual gay people are, but I don’t see it in any of the LGBT friends that I have.

I think the perception comes from 1) the fact that being “gay” is a statement that speaks to one’s sexuality, and thus it’s a topic that you’re aware of and 2) openly gay people are a lot more aware and usually comfortable with their sexuality since it’s something they’ve had to come to terms with and understand about them. Thus, that comfort can seem to many people as being “advertised”, when it’s not really the case.

I’m flattered when I’m hit on, regardless of the gender of the person doing it.

Hopefully, you’ll come to NAUCC, and everyone will flatter you!! :smiley:

lol, that’s pretty much how I am
If anything, I take a gay guy hitting on me as a compliment…same way I would if a chick hit on me

Strange how alot of men think that every gay guy they meet is after them. A friend of mine got drunk recently and told me exactly what he’d like to do to me, I really did find it rather flattering.

I always wonder what being a girl and getting hit on by a guy you’re not interested in is like, presumably like being a straight guy and being hit on by a gay guy. Maybe if you find the second disturbing you should refrain from doing the first.

OK this is a bit of a random ramble of disconnected points.

What exactly is a gay/straight alliance anyway? Are we going to join forces and fight against those who just can’t decide?
