"It's still okay to be...I love this line:<br /><br />"It's still okay to be homophobic, our society says, you just can't admit it."<br /><br />It reminds me of the recent incident with that Ateneo student who wrote that Tagalog is language "para sa kalye".<br /><br />I remember tweeting something similar to what you wrote:<br /><br />"It's ok to be snooty. You just can't declare your snootiness publicly."<br /><br />If you dare to cross that line and out of stupidity, ignorance or courage - express with all honesty what you think about --- be prepared to be stoned to death ( electronically ) by the electronic lynch mob in Facebook and Twitter.Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02339338469672868786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191137758823613303.post-84959137647027829602011-01-06T11:58:09.889+08:002011-01-06T11:58:09.889+08:00i love the line where you say if more gay men woul...i love the line where you say if more gay men would come out of the closet there would be more room to put the homophobes in there! <br /><br />that friend request guy was an idiot.

People, animals, the environment, name brand, off-brand, technology - everything is categorically and summarily divided into labels. Breaking down the notion that we don't have to categorize everything and just accept things as they are is the big quest of our time.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599291900500434062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191137758823613303.post-8485635401493556252010-11-27T20:17:59.594+08:002010-11-27T20:17:59.594+08:00Great post.

I’m straight but I got several gay friends and they don’t make my skin hair stand up. I think it’s because I’m exposed at a very young age that there are boys who likes to play Barbie instead of GI Joe. You see, three of my cousins are gay. Sadly, one is still hiding at the deepest recesses of his closet.<br /><br />Your last paragraph is a food for thought.BlogusVoxhttp://blogusvox.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191137758823613303.post-74787832153954438962010-09-14T04:16:37.554+08:002010-09-14T04:16:37.554+08:00@Raven: Thanks!

All these metrosexuals running around with their manicures and $25 a bottle hair product. <br /><br />And you're right, men can't be macho in a group setting, it'd be like having a room full of Clint Eastwoods, all standing there strong, stoic, and silent with the exception of the occasional murmur of 'Go ahead, make my day.' (Since I've never actually seen a Clint Eastwood movie, I might be off on the quote, if so, forgive me, but you get the idea.)<br /><br />It's a sad statement on society that homophobia still exists. Yes, it's gone underground, but in some ways that makes it more insidious. You can't fight what you can't see. <br /><br />Anyway, I'll stop babbling now. You have a great blog. I'm voting for this post.
