Thank you, Elderbear, for helping keep that place a trek forum!
Mcant seems to have found some other stuff to add to the trash can: He's more brave than me, I didnt want to read all the topic just to chase that kind of stuff...
If I may, one thing strikes me:
Mainly, the gay/not gay thing is about being accepted and respected.
Since this is internet and we dont see each other, no one knew there was gay people here! As we dont really know who is male or female in here.
The acceptation and respect was complete since no one knew who was gay and who wasn't, so why the hell starting to make posts about it? Once again, we dont care...
A shame since if you had refrained from talking about that on this Star Trek board, no one would have made any kind of discrimination at all!
People are that way: we dont all have the same point of view.
Some are gay, some like gays, some dont, some just dont care (me, for example)
No one can force people to like gays or not: each of us makes his/her own opinion based upon what he/she encounters in his/her life.
In here, we (and therefore you, gay people too) are all equals and free of all kind of discriminations: why the hell did you feel the need to make it change?
Personaly, I dont want to be a part of it: I dont know who's gay or not (and I dont care, once again)... and I want it to remain that way.
Mainly because what brings me here is the fact that I'm some kind of Mulder: I want to believe! In sci-fi, ufos, all that kind of stuff. Not at all any aspect of sexuality.
My sexuality is mine and is absolutely none of anyone's business...
