g_b I am proud to be gay
Hey Sanjay! It is great that you have decided to start posting on this forum. Don't worry about upsetting people Sanjay. You can never please everyone all the time. :-) Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Gay Pride: LGBT pride or gay pride is the concept that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity.The movement has three main premises: that people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity, that diversity is a gift, and that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered. The use of the abbreviated gay pride and pride have since become mainstream and shorthand expressions inclusive of all individuals in various LGBT communities. The word pride is used in this case as an antonym for shame, which has been used to control and oppress LGBT persons throughout history. Pride in this sense is an affirmation of one's self and the community as a whole. The modern "pride" movement began after the "Stonewall riots" in 1969. Instead of backing down to unconstitutional raids by New York Police, gay people in local bars fought back. While it was a violent situation it also gave the underground community the first sense of communal pride in a very well publicized incident. From the yearly parade that commemorated the anniversary of the Stonewall riots began a national grassroots movement. Today many countries around the world celebrate LGBT pride. The pride movement has furthered the cause of gay rights by lobbying politicians, registering voters and increasing visibility to educate on issues important to LGBT communities. LGBT pride advocates work for equal "rights and benefits" for LGBT people. In your opinion gay love (romantic love between members of the same gender) is weaker than heterosexual love. I shall answer that love can be as strong as the lovers want it to be. Society in general does not approve of same sex love. Nor does it approve of masturbation. Yet we all do it. The feelings that you and I have deep inside us do not change whether we are in Scandinavia or in Afghanistan. We have a choice to accept our emotions, desires and feelings and work with them or feel dejected and cheated by nature and make our own lives miserable. If you feel that having multiple sex partners debases you in your own eyes, don't have them. Look instead for a monogamous partner and stick to him. Different people have different needs and it takes all kinds to make the world. Heterosexuals celebrate their sexual orientation all the time! Don't believe me? Look around you. Do you see a woman wearing a Mangal Sutra? Do you see a man keeping a picture of his wife and kids on his workstation? Do you see a marriage procession inching down a busy road with the groom in full regalia? Heterosexuals don't need to advertise themselves! Society is created around their needs and desires. We homosexuals need to show our own needs and desires in a repressive society. And till such time we don't get equal rights we shall, perforce, call our celebrations as "Pride". My homosexuality is nothing that I have "won". Yet I have to struggle to make society accept it so that I may live the way I want. Hence I must proclaim my orientation which, to me, is natural but to others is an abomination. Do keep posting in. I believe that the contents of your post did not fit the chain's subject hence I changed it.

Re: g_b Re: thank you guys
People have right to be proud of what they are as long as they adhere to moral standards . Why should they not be ? It is who I am and will be forever So be proud my brethren !! No hiding and no curtains (but if you chose to remain closeted from society given your circumstances that is a personal choice and is okay) ... BUT NEVER FROM SELF BE PROUD ...

These are just my personal opinions Everytime i hear/read this statement "I am proud to be gay", i feel awkward. Even if i was hetro it wud be awkward for me to say "I am proud to be a hetro". I would be proud of things i earned and definately this state of mind so called "homo" is definately not i earned, it is just there by one reason or the other. So first of all "I proud to be a gay" is completely overstatement. But i think i agree with mike with the reason of having multiple partners. Society does not confirm the state of being gay and thats y most of the people like to have "discreet" liasons which makes us wild, unbounded, restless, limitless, pervert animals, which perfectly reason with as society does not confirm this sexuality, we will not confirm the rules made by it. There is no such things like commitment in our relationship as there is no society to look after it. Over this i would like to say commitment thing is never going to happen as the bond between man to man is joined by very weak force though it is equally weak as the bond between man and woman but the later one is supported by other n number of factors one of those is kids. Kids become their common interest when other interest are lost or satiated. Now this is tricky part as now the faith on marriage is loosing its magic, people are gradually coming out of those rules which were there from the ages. So that means if the commitments by the natural sexuality is wanning how one can even think of plutonic love or just say love commitments. Anyways..once again "I proud to be a gay" is completely overstatement.

I for one does not go out of the relationship for marriage. As we claim equality with heterosexuals, we need not only be equal to them in status but also in our behavior. It is sad that if 95% of the gays are cheating and having sex as and when they choose with whoever they come across ... then we do not deserve equality. Being gay makes me proud and moral ... Mike.

If one really wants to know how a sarong should be 'sexily' wrapped I would recommend any old movie starring Dorothy Lamour. I am sure there would be some available on the net. asfan
