But no one is saying don't be gay, in fact that seems to be the opposite of what Clarky is saying. In fact he is saying if you want to be accepted, don't go out and make ways of making yourself visable, for the sake of making yourself different. Now I don't have a problem with someone being homosexual, but really what good does it do to have a man walking down the street in assless chaps or weaking a dog collar. I mean really it just pushes people back into stereotypes, which should be attempted to be broken down. I know people who are gay, and it doesn't change my view of them as people, but at the same time I am sure my view would change of anyone if they decided to walk down the street in assless chaps, with nipple clamps hanging out.

Wow.
Conform to the way we want you to behave and we'll accept you. That's not tolerance, that's social tyranny.
What's wrong with the queer community expressing sexualisty, one of the biggest identifiers of their community, in an empowering and significant way? I'd rather see what the queer community is up to with regards to kinks and fetishses and their sex lives. The more I know about it the less I make faulty assumptions which are quite damaging to my impressions of that community and the people that I spread those assumptions to. If you're going to be tolerant of gays then you have to be tolerant of THEIR self identified lifestyle and choices.
Besides, their fetishes always give me and girlfriend ideas in the bedroom too...
Now where can I get myself some assless chaps?
