yea w/e.

But if you must know, i meant that there's nothing i can learn from the homosexuality of a gay man no matter what the angle cause there'd be no use to. Not cause i'm denying the information but because i'd find it futile to do so. And things should always be done for a reason; there should always be a point to something. If your going to inform, enlighten, make aware of, that's one thing, cause there's a reason behind doing so but to teach or learn is something else that should only be done if it'll be effective, practically speaking

The knowledge of whatever i can apparently learn from a gay man regarding homosexuality would be useless cause i'd find the information or knowledge impractical, to me.

Knowing about information is one thing and for anyone but learning and/or practicality is another issue.

And again, no disrespect to whomever takes it that way. All people are humans to me, foremost. And deserve respect for it, so i'm saying what i'm saying with esteem.

Well, it's not about what you can learn from gays about homosexuality, but about other parts of life.

For example, say researchers would find out that homosexuals for some reason know something that makes them a hundred times better than straight people at basketball and that knowledge they can share with others. Then you could learn something from them about how to play Basketball regardless of accepting or condemning or wanting to know about their homosexuality.

In the same way that there is nothing a white man can learn from a black man, "if it's about their culture".

There's alot a white man can utilize and/or learn from a black man that a white man can put to good use, i'm sure. Just as sure as your denial of this fact.

Don't mostly white men profit from black men/culture now just as handsomely as they did when they had them as property back then?

So the answer is no.

He was making a comparison. You can learn from homosexuals, just as whites can learn from blacks, and though, you probably don't like it, blacks can learn from whites.

Gays a have culture onto themselves?

Yea, what you don't think so?

The gay way is a culture unto itself. I'm sure they have certain customs they value and/or probably some unwritten rules in the way other cultures have them.

Certain areas or issues that they as a group come together on.

A group that has a distinct identity can be said to have a culture. And gays are a distinct group.

That seems to me to assume that they know something as a collective group of people based solely on sexual preference, rather than individual experience or practice. I understand that's not your point, but I do maintain that it is the basis of the study that inspired this thread. Is that because society has dictated their(homosexuals) standards based on scrutiny? I can't really say.

And there's a lot that a black man can learn from a white man, gay or otherwise. My point remains, and you continue to prove it, that you are uninterested in listening to, much less learning from, anyone else that has lived being hated for something they can't control.

Well my argument was just that it is possible to learn from gays. That it is not in accordance with what the thread is about I realize.

Then, depending on the issue, i'll learn (keyword) about those other parts of life if they would be practical to me.

And your example is unrealistic. Sexuality and intelligence are indirectly correlated. Both sexes can be intelligent and can be dunces but biologically, a person can't be/isn't smart of dumb because of his/her sex/uality.

So am i. And as a humans, i bet i can learn something from another human, like a gay person. I just won't learn about homosexuality cause i'm not interested in doing so. And not outta spite or fear or hate. It's just my prerogative. I'm not interested. I'm not interested in many things. Like onions, liver, black and white movies and country music or cornbraids. Doesn't mean i think that they are naturally bad items. Or think that their bad cause i find those things uninteresting or don't like them.

I'm just as uninterested in learning about homosexuality from a gay man in the same way i'm uninterested in learning how to sow from an old lady. I just chose not to simply cause i don't want to. It uninterested me. But it doesn't mean i think of her craft as low nor do i think of her as low. The only difference would be our interest.

And I never denied that blacks can't learn from whites, as irrelevant as interjecting that was.

Again, i never denied that.

And you point doesn't remain. As I said I would listen to information but as far as learning from homosexuality, i (rightfully) chose not to do so cause i'm not interested in learning about that way.

Partly because there'd be no reason for me to learn about it.

Is there a left-handed culture? A blue-eyed culture?

Sexuality cuts across all borders: race, religion, nationality, etc. There is no universal culture for homosexuals.

I would argue that "gay culture" has nothing to do with sexual preference.

I normally can't stand people who act "stereotypically gay"

I really liked this post. Awesome. I don't understand how anyone could miss your point.

Also, imo, I believe that there is a universal gay culture..but generalizations fail to apply to all, as usual.

Does the culture make the "gay" or dos the "gay" make the culture?

It's not about learning about homosexuality though. It is about learning from homosexuals about other topics unrelated to sexual preference.

So, even though you refuse to learn about homosexuality, that is not the point of the thread. Thank you for bringing it up though.

?

That's not the point of the thread?

Thread title: "What Straights Can Learn From Gays"

Looks like it was, to me.

It's not asking me what i can learn about non-homosexuality from a gay person, as you keep indicating.

It obviously mentions the preferences "straight" and "gay" for a reason.

It says "What straights can learn from gays", not "What straights can learn about being gay" or "What straights can learn from gays about homosexuality". Did you even read the initial post or did your homophobia prevent you from doing so?

Did you read? i said that a distinct group "can be said" to have a culture.

Left-handed people may/can have a culture. It's been noted that people that are abled in that way posses distinct and/or subtle personalities and characteristics that they shared with other left-handed people, maybe. i dunno. Anyone, anything and anybody can have a culture.

Hell there's probably a society of left-handers for all i know.

Bardock's hero, A. Hitler certainly made it that if you had blue eyes you were superior.

Don't you think that (blonde haired) blue eyed people had a certain way or air of being that may've, again may've, develop some type of culture not matter how small or insignificant that created division or distinction and recognition in the way a culture does? So I never said definite.

Then why are sexual preferences be even mentioned in the thread title? For it's own sake? That's dumb.

If so it should've just been titled, "What a regular person can learn from another regular person". Same thing and would've been too general to post and to post on anyway, so that defeats that.

What can i learn from a gay man that a regular man can't teach me. Get it?

And the answer to that would be homosexuality.

And keep thinking i'm homophobic all you want. You're wrong of course, but think it all you want.
