I stumbled across a stupid post on facebook.
Basically it talked about how they were going to throw a coming out of the closet party for their child who came out to them.
I said something along the lines of:
I love people. But why pamper them just because they like the same gender or they don't want to be the gender they are? We don't get parties when we are straight, so why do they deserve parties?
I'm all for gay rights. But why do they get special treatment, parades, etc?
I'm proud of my sexuality, but I don't need a ****ing party or a fair to display it.
Equality. That's what I believe in.
If my son came out to me I'd kiss his head, tell him I loved him, and ask who he liked. That's about it.
He'll get a party on his birthday, or for any accomplishments he made in school,etc. Not because he likes guys.
Haha, i like your reasoning. Spot on.
And yeah, i can see where that might offend some people but, that'd be on them. You're just being honest and not going out of your way to put anyone down.
I just feel if they want to be treated like everyone else, why go through the trouble of making parades and coming out parties? It just doesn't make sense to me.
But I mean, they do what they want. I'd still attend their party if that's what they wanted, but still..
Classic Cartoon Network was the shit man, sadly though last time I checked it had gotten pretty rubbish... I'll always love the good stuff though – Dexter's Lab, Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog etc...

People may get offended by your point, but that's because of the whole PC brigade taking over. You aren't allowed to express any opinion other than the one that's been specially sanctioned not to offend anyone! I totally get what you mean myself – they're gay, they're straight, so what? They're just them, you know? I don't think the person coming out would want such a fuss made, but I guess it might be a way of the parent coping with something they didn't initially want to happen, and it's just them going a bit too far to show that they aren't disappointed.
If you havent you might check out Amazing World of Gumball. My personal favorite of the new offerings. Adventure Time deservedly gets more press, but i like the off the wall humor of Gumball better.
