As the World Turns - MESSAGE BOARDS

Keyton how about we also give you credit for being incredibly ignorant and closeminded as well. Your rights begin where mine end. I would gladly take the cure for cancer regardless of the source. I don't know or care why you "hate" gay people but I am sure they arent the only benefactors of your extreme opinion hope you learn to enjoy your life and take pleasure in the world hate doesn't help anything.

In our ever changing world, the majority of people demonstrate tolerance towards each other today more so than in the past. We are a society who wants to move forward in every aspect of our life. While the values set forth for us by societies of the past serve us well, we as the movers and shakers of the present society have to go one step further and exercise what those values really taught us. Treat others as you would want to be treated...or something like that! The Luke and Noah storyline will fizzle out just like the big deal about intra-racial marriages fizzled out. Acceptance and respect for each other's differences has come a long way.

It's okay Keyton, I'll give you credit. Some prejudice people will never change, and are extremely hateful, violent, and angry. If they can't be swayed I'd rather know who my enemies are.

So thanks Keyton. I'm sorry you will cut off a vast majority of wonderful people for, well really I don't know what reason, but thank you for giving me the heads up to stay away from you.

And I mean that seriously.

Honey, believe that their are others. This guy has a SERIOUS hatred for one of the black characters on GL and I was sure I knew the main reason for it.

Someone that feels that way will has those feelings for more then just one specific group.

But again, I'd rather have this anger said to my face then behind my back where I can't keep myself away from it.

Its not compassion it;s your choice of life. .... For pete sakes get rid of the gays. There's way to much on tv.

Quote 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.

Thank you! EVERYONE needed to hear that, and I completely agree w/all you have said!

I agree , very well put. I admire you for posting on this topic. I wish everyone could show more compassion .
I hope I haven't caused you any pain , we all need understanding. It would be a much better world to live in if we could reach out a friendly hand instead of knocking someone down.
