for the first time I actually saw myself decking someone in the face!

Says someone who would probably get his ass kicked in a fight with anyone.

Why do we preach tolerance and acceptance and yet we remain as narrow-minded as, let’s say, someone who believes marriage should exist slowly between a man and a woman?

Tolerance and acceptance =/= fucking someone

I am impressed that he uses another homophobic argument to justify his homophobia without the irony ever dawning on him.

I absolutely loathe this line of thinking. Yes, gay people were oppressed, rejected, and marginalized. That doesn't mean we need to turn around and accept absolutely everyone into the LGBT community. We still need to draw a line somewhere. And besides, this isn't even a conversation on accepting people into the LGBT community - it's a conversation on who we should be open to fucking. So we shouldn't have genital preferences because gay people were rejected? Come on. Horrifying logic.

Yeah. All the hot button gay issues revolve around the following people claiming to belong with LGB people: straight people who think they’re the opposite sex, straight people with weird fetishes, straight people into bdsm, straight people who don’t want to have sex, emotionally stunted straight people who can’t handle relationships, straight people who want to bone multiple people, straight people who want attention, and pedophiles.

Aside from pedophiles, whatever. People can do whatever they want in their private lives with other consenting adults. But that doesn’t make them LGB, nor should we be forced to accommodate them. LGB people setting reasonable boundaries isn’t hateful.

Thank you for this list of why I'm horrified at the idea of the general public associating me with this Insane Clown Posse (I don't care if this name is already taken).

You know, there are unfortunately a lot of porn stars and porn companies that advertise themselves as gay content who are producing bi content. And not just FtM content, also full blown bi content with cis women.

Of course fans get disappointed. And you always see responses like "B is also part of LGBT", "you complain about homophobia but you don't respect bisexuality", "you're so narrow minded", etc. I don't know if it's out of malice or if they're just dumb. But yeah, obviously if you're gay looking for gay content you'll want - shock - gay content.

On top of that, isn't it funny how this only happens for gay and lesbian content? When it comes to straight stars and companies, they won't cross the line for bi content. Not even MtF content. Straight stars and companies that do bi content clearly label themselves as bi. Straight stars and companies that do content with MtF clearly label it this way.
