Though you may not think of your gay friends as gay, that does not make them straight. You act like being gay is a bad thing, in fact by what you wrote, it seems that you want to ignore the fact that your friends are gay. I agree with you in that you should not label your friends. (Example: Hey, this is my gay friend Bob) That would be shitty. However, they are still gay, and your gay friends do make up part of the gay community. Now, I never cared for the extremely militant people, gay OR straight, but to refer to the gay community as a parade of freaks and losers is just wrong. Yes, there are freaks, yes there are losers, but there are freaks and losers in EVERY group of people.

I also believe that in the case of "Steve" (the guy that the "Nashville Scene" article was written about), he was targeted BECAUSE he was gay, and he committed no crime. I do not think that gay people should get special privileges. I think that EVERYONE should be treated equally. However, when the police department targeted ONLY gay chat rooms, that was unjust and unfair.

That's a ton of words I had to read there, Opheria. What are you trying to do? Kill me? Anyway, guys named Bruce, Steve or Ken are always gay, acording to some bitch in Steel Magnolias. Steve should have known better than to do drugs. I am sure that the Nashville pigs have arrested straight people for drugs too. And yes, the gay community is all a bunch of freaks and losers. Individuals are occasionally worthwhile. Groups are oppressive and worthless. Gay people should cut hair and move to California. California loves them.
