purple dove asked:
I have read lots of questions on here, from people against gay marriage and/or gay people just in general, basically just wanting people to agree with them. OK fine, i guess that is 1/2 of what this forum is about. But what i want to know is why when you disagree with them & state your opinion on whatever it is they asked, they automatically assume that you’re angry, defensive, not listening, etc etc etc?
What makes their opinions “just my opinions” & anyone who disagrees with them is either picking on them, being mean or in that whole angry, defensive, etc. category?
I just want to know why they can’t say they are “just expressing their feelings/opinions” & can’t accept that’s what others are doing as well?
BTW i am not gay, i am a bi woman, well not that either, i am a straight woman who happens to like to include a certain woman in some sexual activities. Put whatever label you want on that.
Basically i just believe in equality. OK done with my rant – have on with yours.
BTW i didn’t say anyone had to agree with the lifestyle, i said allow someone to have a different opinion and not automatically assume something about them becuase they do have a different opinion.
