Does This Offend People Who Are Gay?
I'm just wondering....
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?
If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?
It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.

When somebody says that's gay...I just take it as normal talk. There's no reason to get offended when somebody says that, if you're gay or bi.

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?
Have you ever tried to balance on that beam?
And if you ever tried to step in my shoes
They'll never be quite as soft as they seem.

Re: Does This Offend People Who Are Gay?
i have gay friends and they dont like it
I'm so lost
I'm barely here
I wish I could explain myself
But words escape me
It's too late
To save me
You're too late

You're too late

It doesn't really matter what we think, because now it's all cliche and shit, so whether you like it or not it will keep getting used.

Re: Does This Offend People Who Are Gay?
What if - instead of saying "that's gay" in reference to something that some people think is 'odd' or 'weird' or 'stupid' [or whatever] people starting saying "that's female" or "that's black". How would that make some of you feel??

To feel the wind tearing at my clothes, the elements.
The only truth left in a world of lies and hypocrisy.
The beauty of the abyss.
The anticipation, like anticipating the greatest sex, an existential foreplay.
Looking down into oblivion and voidness.
The ground far, far away as it seems from here, but in reality only a couple of seconds away.
Standing there.
Feeling eternity in a restricted world.
Feeling a decision in a prefabricated existence.
