luke/noah storyline
s0303 |
i've been reading on the boards all kinds of things regarding the luke/noah storyline, and about how God didn't create a man to be with a man, etc...and had to respond, unfortunately. i am a gay man. one of my first memories is finding a boy attractive in pre-kindergarten...yes, this is true. i didn't even know what being gay meant or even heard the word before, i just knew i thought boys were cute. it was just an instinct. how many people on this board sat down one day and made a conscious decision who they were attracted to, whether they were going to live a gay lifestyle or a straight one? my guess is no one. neither did i. it was just how i was, or how i was born (i'm sure a lot of people don't believe that) i don't know how or why it was me, i wish it hadn't been me. it's not easy to be a minority, someone who got picked on and spit at and beat up in school for who you were, it's just what happened. i didn't choose this. so, next time you feel the need to say that this story is disgusting, or that you think they shouldn't have these characters on the show, maybe you will remember there are real people who are gay and reading your posts and maybe think twice for once. and then go ahead and post if you still feel the need, for that will show how little compassion and lack of understanding you have...thank you for reading this. |

My daughter was the same. It was amazing how RIGHT it seemed when she told me she was a lesbian. I think I probably knew before I knew, if you know what I mean. It is natural for her, and her being with a man woudl be against HER nature. Thanks for writing that. I am glad you know who you are. I know I am very proud of my daughter being open about who she is despite ridicule at times. |

That was a great post. It really did need to be posted. I actually think Luke & Noah are pretty mild and have such a small storyline for the amount of complaints they recieve. |

Well so much for compassion! I'm gay I remember when I was five finding other boys attractive. I also remember when I was five a girl in my kindergraten class told me she wanted to be my girlfriend. So I guess heterosexuals have those feelings at a young age too. |

Wow, such hatred for people. What did s0303 ever do to you to tell him basically that he is full of it and is passing propaganda? Do you know him? Are you in his head and actually know how he has felt his entire life? This is your warning to treat people - all people - with respect. It is ok to want Luke and Noah off the show, but come on, give real people a break. You wouldn't like it if someone said something directly about you. |

I will be honest and say I will not miss the Luke/Noah storyline if it comes to an end. But I do feel that some comments that people post are uncalled for. |

Well I don't want to get bashed like the girl raised in the south(grits), so I'll just say I don't like the story, I don't like luke and noah. I don't like what they stand for and I've had these feelings for as long as I can remember so I guess I was born with them. Since you don't pick your sexual orientation I guess the same can be said for your feelings of right and wrong. I didn't just decide one day "hey I don't like homosexuality", it's the way I've always felt. |

And sometimes we hate what we really fear, and other times we hate about others what we don't want to see in ourselves. |

Oh I don't think so, if you can claim sexual orientation is not a choice then I can say the feelings I have is not a choice. Like the mod said you don't know that person and you don't know me. I can't accept luke and noah no more than I could be like them. I can't be homosexual and I can't accept homosexuality, just like a homosexual can't be heterosexual and be true to themself. |

Yes, you can't be homosexual, but why does that mean you can't accept it in others? Homosexuals aren't unaccepting of hetrosexuals (in general). By the same standard I guess you can only accept races that are yours. Or religions that are yours. Or sexes that are yours. To misquote a great song: "If you can tell a wise man by who he sleeps with, than mister, you're a better man than I." |
