31. being unmarried and not associated anyone of with the opposite sex

Sun Sep 16, 2012, 02:49 PM

Sep 2012

does NOT mean the person is gay. Not that there's anything wrong with it if they are, but they could be someone who just does not get involved, is too busy, is of low sex drive, doesn't feel confident enough, doesn't meet anyone (that could happen easily in his job category) suitable or who they like.

What motivated you to offer that Stevens might be gay? Vinnie From Indy Sep 2012 #2

WTF, man? AverageJoe90 Sep 2012 #108

it was about understanding that if gay, it's a significant piece of who he was and is and shall be Voice for Peace Sep 2012 #55

A reasonable response. Still is it wrong to "out" someone else? Tigress DEM Sep 2012 #117

I don't think it's ever right to out another person Voice for Peace Sep 2012 #120

dsc... I am touched by your story you related. But, I can well imagine why some reacted poorly to hlthe2b Sep 2012 #11

I find it disturbing that christians spend their time in the old testament me b zola Sep 2012 #22

I was going to post something similar! King David? WTH?! WinkyDink Sep 2012 #63

you weren't accused of defaming him ibegurpard Sep 2012 #26

dsc is gay. He is an openly gay man. Please consider deleting your post. yardwork Sep 2012 #44

What does that have to do with anything? naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #54

yeah so am I ibegurpard Sep 2012 #74

I think as long as you are honest with the people who you love then promiscuity is fine dsc Sep 2012 #79

This makes the "two-timing" comment make sense. It's OK as long as everybody agrees cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #85

As a gay person, I care if the ambassador was gay. yardwork Sep 2012 #43

It's OK it matters to you. You ask for respect for a POV...agreed. cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #50

The way I read it, something very disturbing happened today and put the other thread in perspective. yardwork Sep 2012 #57

This is pure speculation naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #56

No, it's the bigoted homophobic world that uses people's private lives for their own agendas. yardwork Sep 2012 #59

like dsc? naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #61

I suggest that you reread the OP. dsc didn't discuss anything in church. He heard a horrific story. yardwork Sep 2012 #89

What did I miss? naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #94

I suggest you find the newest thread that thinks it's natural to ask someone cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #66

since you think being gay is the same as being a two timer dsc Sep 2012 #80

OK. This is fascinating, so I'll bite since two-timing is similar to a hissy fit cr8tvlde Sep 2012 #84

You are a real piece of work naaman fletcher Sep 2012 #95

In case you're wondering, DU isn't the government. Nor is any DU'er rioting. WinkyDink Sep 2012 #68

So, you are saying the DUers believe one thing publicly renie408 Sep 2012 #73

freedom of speech does not equate with freedom to not be challenged on your opinion ibegurpard Sep 2012 #78
