I see that there seems to be more in favor of keeping it the way it is. I'm not even gay but thought to pose the question because I didn't think that a hetero has that much interest in gay speak and vice versa. It wasn't by any means an attempt to alienate anyone but simply to offer more choices which to me equals more freedom.
If you don't want to read a hetero or gay perspective on an issue, why should you have to wade through them? Just thought it would make it more user friendly to get comments from those like minded folks in one place. Since this forum seems to be largely hetero, it was proven to be a sensitive issue for others when there might be an advantage since they are not mutually exclusive. Anyone could post anywhere.
Suppose a female did have a tiny dick fetish but was straight, do you think she wants to read about gay men?? No offense but the concept probably disgusts her. Try it with your straight girlfriend and see. You all seem to wonder why females abandoned ship here so maybe you should factor that into the equation.
If you like porn then why are their separate gay sites/blogs/forums etc. along with straight sites all over? Same applies here. Sure there are "bi or bi-curious" types who like a mixture but most likely if you are in that category, you are probably not looking for pure straight content.
What does it hurt to have a separate category? Funny how "free thinker" type people who clamor for diversity and choice get offended when they get it. Huh? Just what are you afraid of? More alienation? Just by the numbers, gays are alienated many places already so I understand the sensitivity and perception of more of the same on here. It should be about liberation not alienation. So you try a separate forum for a month and there is a massive public outcry for it's repeal then get rid of it. Are you afraid it drives away the masses?
No offense but this forum seems a bit "stale" anyway. How many times you want to read about guys whining about a small dick when they can do nothing about it? Frankly, initially yes is okay as many are seeking some comfort but the persistent cry babies on here is enough to drive people away.
Then there is the anomaly where guys who profess no interest in other guys but want to stare at their dicks? Take that to your local shrink.
Maybe a tally needs to be made on gay-bi "friendly" comments on here against the percentage of those that profess either and put that ratio up for public scrutiny. I think it would be quite an eye opener.
I am not even gay but seem to be lobbying for them here just on the principle of "freedom of choice" which is fundamental.
Yes, Mr. Admin...with all due respect, IMHO...when somebody directly asks you to delete their account, it is not your job to assess their mental state by two sentences but to honor their request. Perhaps it would be even advantageous for the "greater good" of this forum to let those that state they want to go to just leave. They can simply make a new account if they decide to come back.
Peace and Thanks for the freedom of speech in our country and your time.
