--Once again, you can't loop EVERY gay person into the above statement, Quez. i just can't get with that..we dont' ALL ACT LIKE THAT..despite what you may or may not have seen. yea, gay folk be wyling out...TRUE. you'd fall out over HALF the shit i've seen in NYC and DC in the past few years...all i'm saying is that NOT ALL do that. most do...NOT ALL.

agreed....if a racist man walkedinto a common concert, he SHOULD expect a diss from common AND AN ASS KICKING from the audience. at least, I'MA KICK HIS ASS if hes next to me. :)

And

>just gonna cause conflict.
true this does..as do most things that folk are uncomfortable with or don't understand. but, folk do have right to express feelings that counter this: i.e., folk who have issue with homophobes should expect to debate withfolk who are homophobic and can justify how they feel...that's just life.

BWAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHA good cow analogy..true again. com did what he had to do....just like the folk who are bothered like this are doing what they have to do, right or wrong. i'm just saying that folk need to speak their peace.


i think we're saying the same things, Quez, we're just coming at it from different standpoints. :) which is cool...no prob with that. i do agree with you on a lot of shit (which i'll get assaulted for by a a few gay okayplayers. but fuck it, black folk arent monolithic--we all have our own viewpoints and thoughts on shit. bout time we started speaking on them..)
