um, trick question?
could it be that bahamian men are the most thoughtful, faithful, caring, sensitive, respectful, romantic lovers in the world?
so many pedestals for their women, so little time:voodoo: ??????????

Trick question, huh?....You would be surprised. I think Bahamian men generally speaking can be all of the above. I know I have met quite a few of them that would fall into the above category. The only problem is that cheating is so socially acceptable that it is hard for anything long term with many of them.

I am not sure what the problem seems to be....I guess you can turn to the bible for all those answers. Today I think we look for too many reasons and excuses as to why people do what they do and what makes them do. Don't get me wrong in some cases there are people out there with issues that may have what may seem to be valid reasons for why they are doing what they are doing. You really cannot generalize the situation with gays in lesbains in the bahamas b/c right now it seems to be the so called "in thing" and this gay thing as been around since the bible days but it seems like now we are just looking for justification and reasons for why it is becoming so prevelant. I don't think there is a justified reason or answer. Alot of young people today are followers as well; they don't want to be authentic any more. I don't have an answer but I can say that the youth today are too arrogant and don't want to hear what anyone has to say, and not too many of the youths are willing to take advice or good counsel. I'm not old or anything but people today are lovers of themselves and are looking to do whatever is going to please self.
Gyptian...

So being gay is the "in thing" and thus kids are doing it? I seriously doubt that. I doubt that a hetero person would engage in homosexual acts unless they are getting some pleasure out of it. The only difference is that now since it is the "in thing" as you put it, it is more socially acceptable. This means a person with gay tendencies is more free to act on it than in times past.

In regard to the arrogance part, I don't see what that has to do with anything.

I find this post really funny. Let me just say this, if she dated women, I doubt it is because she had bad relationships with men. If anything, she wanted to try it and just used her bad dating history as an excuse. People do it all the time. God knows I have used that one too just so others will understand and show sympathy.
she is my friend I should know, those dudes did her dirty

On the issue of men having a problem with lesbians, you would be surprised. Most men are not threatened physically by a lesbian, unless she is hyper masculine and he is afraid she might kick his A**. But many men are threatened by lesbians in terms of ego. They express this all the time by making comments like, "All she need is some d**k" or something else along those lines.

and this is why i couldnt be gay and it isnt right for me, because butch women always try to act like men...wtf and they use dildoes:taped2: it seems like they are longing for something they could never have

why is it always someone has 'an issue' when decide they like someone of the same sex? there's nothing wrong with being a homosexual!...unless you are religious - and not everyone is! the laws of God, the bible, the torah, koran, etc...belong to the people who believe these books! not everyone swears by fictitious material! :heartbeat

Abiskan I love you more and more everyday. It frustrates me to no end when the homosexual topic arises one of the first arguments I hear is something from the Bible. Why is it that people cannot understand that citing the Bible is not proof of anything nor is it an argument because everyone is not religious. If you want to use is as basis for why you think homosexuality is not moral, then fine. But it is not an argument alone.

I have no doubt you know what happened to her...but if someone treats you bad it might make you hesitant to date in the future, but it will not turn off your sexual or physical urges. Not all butch women use dildos. Many are quite "feminine" in the bedroom in fact...

are you trying to convince yourself...ya think?

for the record - i must keep repeating it for people like YOU who obviously fail to form any kind of 'opinion' of people on this board. for as long as you've been around, you should know the kinds of things i stand for. if ever unsure, simply click on my profile and read all my previous posts.

Since you say to each his own, how in the hell you can look my in the eyes and say...there is nothing wrong with being homosexual! Fictitious you :taped:? Try perverted lifestyle! According to your logics...being homosexual is right to you and your gay friends only!:shaky:
Otherwise, gal slow ya roll! Everyone in this world don't hate you...why pooping in the face of everybody?

I can look you in the eye and say there is nothing wrong with it. Better yet, I should ask you what IS wrong with it? What makes it perverted? If two consenting adults want to be with each other, and they cause no harm to anyone else, how can you say it is wrong?

And i love you finekameo. :heartbeat

you say it like there is something wrong with being gay? no need to get all antsy about it...dont have a cow!

I don't think she said it like she found a problem with it at all. Everytime a liberal person makes a comment here they are branded. Just because she believes is personal liberty that does not make her a lesbian. In fact, why is that even relevant? That is a personal issue. What does it matter at all? Her reaction is a typical one since it seemed you were implying because she believes homosexuals should be free to express themselves she must be a homosexual herself.

I am a youth director and of reason we had our panel discussion on the above topic and many children claimed that this type of behavior is a norm in the their schools. and that some of the smartest children are entangle in it and so many of them try it out because they are either curious or they need extra love and attention.
what are your views.

I have had this discussion with my mother a few years ago. She made a similar statement about smart children falling into a gay lifestyle. That comment irked me then and it still does now. It implies that homosexuality is some type of cult that only the week minded fall into. It also implies that it is a choice. The only choice is in deciding to embrace the lifestyle and come out of the closet.

When I was younger, I convinced myself that I only tried it out because I was curious too. I convinced myself that I only needed extra love or attention as well. Now that I am older and wiser, I know better. I know that it is not true. I know that it was not curiosity, but it simply was how I feel. It was not that I needed EXTRA love or attention because I got more than enough of that from my huge family. I have a great relationship with my brother and I can tell him anything. I have a huge family of aunts and uncles that would always be loving and supportive. My relationship with my dad was great and we would hang out and talk all the time. None of these factors affected anything. It was simply that I was attracted to men, and no matter how many girls I slept with was going to change that.

for the record - i must keep repeating it for people like YOU who obviously fail to form any kind of 'opinion' of people on this board.
that's a point of contention, you come of as someone who tries to "school" your fellow bahamians about the outside world like "we een know nuthin" I admire your "save the world" slant rants and raves ...which is why I could form that kind of opinion about you. I have many opinions of people on the board as you, "Osama-hep-Haiti"

and I respect you for being honest with yourself. You have a platform to address the incessant homophobia in this nation.

I am a liberal!

it sounds as though a few on here need to pick up a sociology book or take a crash course in human growth and development.

bottom line no matter what a person has "experimented" with their true sexual preference will come out. this can be said for a homosexual that has tried heterosexual sex/relationships or a heterosexual that has tried homosexual sex/relationship. what a person prefers overall will dominate.


on the Angel being gay thing. come on folks this is an anonymous forum. we have no clue who angel is, if she was gay she could scream to the mountain tops. there is simply a minority of hetersexuals who dont have a single problem with a person being gay

finek- i must admit for some reason i have felt that way about lesbians before. u know the ones with the boy hair cuts etc. i would think she mus wanna grow a d@!k bad, and I also have felt a little challenged by them for no reason. dont know where it came from, it must be the ego trip u talked about.

that's a point of contention, you come of as someone who tries to "school" your fellow bahamians about the outside world like "we een know nuthin" I admire your "save the world" slant rants and raves ...which is why I could form that kind of opinion about you.
