[QUOTE="Fighting4yourRights, post: 314424, member: 10388"] SateliiteD, Can you provide more information? I am trying to find how there is circular logic. To me, most gay people who say anything about a relationship are harshly criticized for flaunting it. In the meantime, I will provide parallelism in my logic through an example. Flaunt - to parade or display oneself conspicuously, defiantly, or boldly. Displaying wedding pictures on your desk or in your wallet - isn't that a form of flaunting? What about talking about children? If a straight man says, my girlfriend and I are going on a romantic trip to the mountains. We plan to fish, cuddle by the fire and take long walks through the woods. Is this flaunting? Not really. Primarily because straight relationships are normalized and gay ones are pathologized. This same logic applied to a Gay man - My boyfriend and I are going on a romantic trip to the mountains. We plan to fish, cuddle by the fire and take long walks through the woods. Wouldn't this be viewed as flaunting? And, yes, Dannyboy, there are some gay folks who are more persistent in their language - but then again, there are some straight folks who are equally graphic about their relationships. There is great diversity in people and all gay people don't necessarily flaunt graphic sexual relationships. No matter what the media would like you to believe. Just as all straight people don't do this or do that. I believe there are mostly good folks in this world - once in a while we meet someone who just doesn't get it; at least not yet. [/QUOTE]
