With all these people not giving shits, the world may become less polluted and smelly :)

[–]naobatt 5 points6 points ago

There will still be people taking shits, which I don't know why you'd want shit any way.

[–]Battletooth 1 point2 points ago

It's a fetish. I actually enjoyed 2 girls 1 cup.

Don judge.

[–]naobatt 1 point2 points ago

Just... ya know, be careful, no judgement here man

[–]Adn88 1 point2 points ago

Who's Don Judge?

[–]Battletooth 2 points3 points ago

Oops. I was typing from a phone. It was supposed to say "Don, judge."

The comma makes all the difference.

[–]DaTScientisT 4 points5 points ago

This is how people need to react to people announcing their gay in real life. Stop making it like this huge thing. You don't see people going "mom, dad...I'm straight"

If a friend tells me he's gay "okay cool story bro"

[–]verty101 41 points42 points ago

It's cool that you think them doing something that is one of the hardest things they will ever do is no big deal.

[–]doctorqui 11 points12 points ago

Plus, as if it's the gay person "making it a big deal." No, society/this straight guy take care of that bit for us. It's not like if you come out the magical low key way you'll get everyone to accept you.

[–]Peaches666 33 points34 points ago

I have never seen a post where a gay person is "coming out". Maybe ones where they say "I recently came out and my family made me so proud" or "This is how a proposed (curveball: Turns out it's a gay couple).

If you think that is "making it a huge thing" then perhaps it's you being bent out of shape by being reminded that there are gay people in our country and they're not being giving the same consideration as heterosexual couples.

Does being reminded of facts inconvenience you that much?

[–]maximilitia 0 points1 point ago

This is the right response.

[–]I_am_Saiyan -4 points-3 points ago

The way I took it is that as long as we consider it an extraordinary thing, it is proof positive of the inequality and bigotry we see in today's society.

It shouldn't have to be considered extraordinary or brave or anything like that to come out. We give it such credit only because of the adversity people face for doing so.

If the majority of the public really gave the kind of apathetic, casual response you'd see here, it wouldn't need to be a thing. "Coming out" wouldn't be special.

[–]Villiers18 0 points1 point ago

You think the major barrier to lgbt rights in this country are people who react too positively to coming out stories?

[–]I_am_Saiyan -1 points0 points ago

Like the many SRSers downvoting my posts, I think you misunderstand.

In a world where gays were treated fairly we would not need to celebrate "coming out". It'd be no big deal.

I don't know if the other guy is saying that making a deal out of coming out is a cause of bigotry. I am saying that it is a symptom and if we lived without it by nature (not force) it'd be proof we lived in a happier, more tolerant society.

[–]rottenartist 44 points45 points ago

You don't see people going "mom, dad...I'm straight"

Right, because no one has to do that. You are assumed to be heterosexual unless you do something or say something that indicates otherwise.

It would be like you hanging out with a big group of people who are talking non-stop about how awesome 9gag is and how funny all the memes are on there and how original all the content is. All of them are 9gagers so they assume that you are too.

You can stay silent, which means they will also assume that you agree with everything they're saying. You can leave, which means you might be walking away from good friends. Or you can speak up as a Redditor.

This action provides you with an established identity that is honest to who you are and provides you with some personal space to be yourself. If you've felt repressed, you might go overboard and cover yourself with Reddit stickers and wear a bacon t-shirt or something.

But, eventually, you'll settle down and feel comfortable without the need to be as vocal about your Reddit lifestyle.

[–]GARBAGEDAYY 11 points12 points ago

derp why aren't there straight parades herp derp

It's easy to not worry about coming out when you'll never have to do it yourself.

[–]doctorqui 15 points16 points ago

I've lost scores of friends to this bullshit attitude. If I came out, I'm not saying I want to fuck you, I'm not giving you TMI about my dick, I'm not giving you some deep dark secret that no one has any business sharing with anyone, and I'm certainly not telling you about some bizarre personal sexual perversion. It's about who I am, who I would probably be dating and also the kind of bigoted bullshit I'm probably not going to be cool with. You should feel fucking honored if someone wants to come out to you, not smug or disgusted.

People who don't come out in a controlled way end up being outed in a way that's outside of their control. People who are outed by malicious people or come out in the wrong environment are sometimes killed for coming out. Being closeted, can leave a lot of unresolved social tention and potential energy on the table that an lgbt person probably wants to dissipate on their terms in a controlled way. Sort of like how you don't want to just accidentally fall off of a 100 foot cliff to your death when you can plan for exactly how or when you're going to do it--but I bet that analogy is a bit fucking over your head if you're thick enough to believe that coming out as gay is the same thing as reaffirming that you're straight.

Fuck you and everything you stand for.

Edit: Also when you shun someone because they came out to you and hence "made a big deal about it". That's not progressive or worldly, that's some major fucking homophobia and you should take a good hard look at your life.

Also fuck you for thinking that how a gay person comes out to people is responsible for how people react to it. I can come out at a better time for me, but it's not like people being homophobic trash heaps towards me is somehow justified because of the way I chose to say "I'm gay".

[–]pacman42 36 points37 points ago

Now get about 75% of the world to feel the same way and maybe it wont be such a big deal.

[–]tastescrunchy 2 points3 points ago

Exactly.

[–]bluepomegranate 73 points74 points ago

Maybe it's not about you. Maybe it's about them coming to terms with themselves. Maybe it's about them finding themselves and being public about it is a way to cement their self image.

You also don't see people getting killed because they're straight.

There's probably a reason why you've never had a friend come out to you.

[–]verty101 42 points43 points ago

Yeah, this just seems like this guy is patting himself on the back for being so not homophobic that somebody coming out is a complete nonissue to him. Never mind that this is one of the hardest things they will do.

[–]annenoise 37 points38 points ago

This. It's so easy to say "stop making it a big thing" when it's not something you have dealt with - possibly in a negative light, from others or internally - for your entire life.

[–]Aoife246 22 points23 points ago

they feel like they have to " come out" because of how society's treated them for decades. if they knew people were just going to be like " k cool story bro, you still wanna go rob the machines at the arcade?" I think gay/lesbian/bi/trans people would be a lot happier

[–]diesuke 5 points6 points ago

"I'm all for gay rights but why do the gays have to let us know they exist. Why can't they be happy that we tolerate them and not make a big fuss about it. I'm only pro-gay at an abstract level, where I can pretend homosexuals don't exist"

signed- An embarrassingly large proportion of Reddit.

[–]poopboy715 3 points4 points ago

The only thing I would add to this is to listen how they come out to you. If they sit you down and have a lengthy "coming out" they are probably recently out or in need of some support. In that case, a quick response will make it seem like you're uncomfortable with the whole gay thing.

[–]ttake 1 point2 points ago

I feel the same way. I love Morgan Freeman's quote on how to stop racism: "Just stop talking about it"

[–]fallingwater 30 points31 points ago

So if we just stop talking about our problems, they go away? While there are fewer people in the world who will openly admit to have prejudices against blacks, less direct (but still just as serious) forms of racism like redlining are still very real.

[–]GARBAGEDAYY 13 points14 points ago

Everyone knows the best way to abolish something destructive is to close your eyes and sing LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU until all racism ever finally stops.

[–]NottaGrammerNasi 9 points10 points ago

That's something that kind of annoys me about black comics. A lot of their stand up seems to just be reinforcing stereo types and racism.

[–]maximilitia 5 points6 points ago

No chance you don't have any kind of perspective on being black, is there?

[–]NottaGrammerNasi -4 points-3 points ago

I'm not sure if I understood that question. I am white if that's what ur asking. And I realize its a generalization of my own, but I feel that if racism wasn't out there as much as it is, it would eventually go away. Granted it would take a looong time, but eventually our children's children will be adults and that culture wouldn't have been bread into them like it is now.

[–]khfreek 4 points5 points ago

To be fair most comics profit from sweeping generalizations of everything, not just race.

[–]Stevie_Rave_On -3 points-2 points ago

[–]Shallow_compliments 3 points4 points ago

That doesn't work and it is not practical. Racism stems from people being afraid of what they don't know, so a path of educating the population would be more effective. Coupling that the majority (in the case of the US, white people) need to apologize for past transgressions. After that the minorities need to accept the apology and truly forgive the majority. Forgive doesn't mean forget, but we need to start a new era where this mutual forgiveness is recognized and we move on. I know this idea is a stretch as well, but I think it is better than just sweeping years of oppression and hatred under the rug like it never happened.

[–]DancingWithKafka -2 points-1 points ago

Exactly. And you not making a big deal; you immediately accepting it as completely and utterly normal and mundane is the best thing you can do.

"Oh you're gay? That's nice, let's go play Xbox" is the best reaction.

[–]phreeck 0 points1 point ago

Unless your gay friend hates Xbox, then you need to think about it a little bit.

[–]DancingWithKafka 1 point2 points ago

I guess maybe that could be some sort of sick punishment for a big PS3 fanboy...

"Yeah, that'll teach you to say you're gay, the X button isn't in the right place is it? What do you mean where's the circle button, there is no circle button mwahahahaha"

[–]shanvan 0 points1 point ago

After I came out in the early 1990's, a friend stared at me for a few seconds. Shrugged, made a dumb off-handed joke, and changed the topic to something else. With just the slightest hint of mild irritation, that I would waste his time with something so mundane.

It was, honestly, my favorite reaction.

[–]drobird 0 points1 point ago

NO!

Well it honestly depends on the person. Like finding out a friend is gay is one thing to not make a big deal of.

It's not the best idea to be dismissive if someone comes out too you. They are probably looking for some kind of support and reassurance and to simply be yeah ok lets do what we always have done. That might come off the way you want it to but it could also be taken as you being in shock or simply not wanting to acknowledge it or worse. So while i understand what you are trying to do just know it can come off as something you did not intend.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]DancingWithKafka 0 points1 point ago

But it's not important, that's the thing. Do you know what LGBT folk, hell, what everybody really wants from society? Not celebration, not being a big deal, just simple acceptance.

Your sexual orientation doesn't define who you are. I don't want people to constantly point out my bisexuality, to be the "bisexual dude", for my friends to profess their undying support for gay rights to me. Just treat me as you would if I was straight.

[–]Jimmy_R_Ustler 5 points6 points ago

Good for you OP. Now if only people on both sides of the fence could do the same and start looking at what's the same and not what's different, we might get somewhere in this silly world.

[–]Alabama_Man -2 points-1 points ago

You cared so little that you had to make a post about it?

[–]BlakeSteel 10 points11 points ago

He doesn't care that they are gay he's just tired, like many of us, of having it thrown in our faces like we need to throw them a parade. One of my close friends came out of the closet a couple years back and people started calling him a hero and telling him how amazing and brave he is. He told me " I don't know what the big deal is, I just like to put cocks in my mouth".

Obviously I hang out with cool people.

[–]madmoral 1 point2 points ago

I just think Hollywood makes it a big deal. I came out yesterday and told my dad, mom and sister. And woke up the next day and sort of forgot about it...because i have a job and school, other things to focus on than going around announcing it to the world

[–]loves_reposts 1 point2 points ago

[–]madmoral 0 points1 point ago

I announced on here basically because i wanted to let other people in the same situation know it's pretty simple. most people i told responded with a very.."uh huh, ok" reaction
