Google (video) "gay chicken", FoS. It's been around a while. No reason for anyone to flame you. Why should you have known? I ran across it a couple of years ago when one like these popped up in the suggested videos block on my YouTube.

There are dozens of entertaining Gay Chicken videos on YouTube. I used to keep a list of them all but eventually lost interest. Let me know if you'd like to post my faves and I'll try to dig them up. But a search of "Gay Chicken" in YouTube should bring them all up for you.

I used to go down to the local community college and try to get pickup games going. But they got mad that I won all the time. http://www.maleescortreview.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/kiss.png

 

Wouldn't that be like Michael Jordan going down to the local community center to get into a local pickup game of basketball. Don't we sort of have a small advantage? :)

Yeah, it's a little irritating, Lee, but, in this less than perfect world, these videos probably also indicate the kids are a good bit more relaxed about the whole idea of homosexuality than were their counterparts 40 years ago. Progress (of a sort).

Yeah, I'm glad I'm only being beaten with a belt instead of a tire iron.

 

Homosexuality is not "funny". It isn't a "joke". It isn't an accident like the real game of chicken. How about if we dress up in black face and have watermelon and fried chicken eating contests? Some would find that funny. Because I don't know nothing about birthin' no babies. Yes progress is being made and they are more tolerant. But not enough and it still is wrong. And we need to be able to say so. IMHO

But shouldn't we be outraged? It really is demeaning to us. At least I think so.

 

I do see your point about them approaching it like something to be avoided, like a front-end collision in the traditional game of chicken.

 

I do also see it as marginal progress, like MsGuy, since I'd feel demeaned only if they spat on or humiliated the winner (the one who went further into the kiss). Since they celebrate him, it means a small measure of acceptance of gay-ness, to me.

FOS -- yeah, but it almost feels like they are celebrating him because he's got less morals, or he's less scared, or like being gay is something to be ashamed of. I may be alone here on this forum, but I like to kiss men. Shocking, I know. Now that may make me strange here (I have a feeling probably not) but I think it's something to be celebrated, not laughed at. And I feel like they are demeaning something I enjoy doing. And I enjoy doing it a lot. I will grant it beats the hell out of gay-bashing. But how do you think the Catholic League would respond if we started playing a game of Catholic Chicken -- who can come closest to saying a Hail Mary before they chicken out?

I could probably debate this to a certain degree. I won't since I think it would boil down to this being an issue that really can be seen from 2 different points of view: either a glass half-full, or half-empty.

 

It's kinda like when WILL & GRACE first started airing. Some people saw it as progress (a gay main character) and others saw it as not (just another clown with no boyfriend/husband/sex life).

FOS -- I am more than happy to say we will agree to disagree. Not everyone has to agree on all points. And we can certain disagree without being disagreeable. I can see where you are coming from and I think you can where I am as well. I guess it's emphasis.

 

I certainly will not discount the fact that I am just coming out and might have a bit more zeal than some, much like a new convert to a cause (even though I've known I'm gay for my entire sentient life). But also living in the south and being of a certain age, it strikes me as something along the same lines as white comedians in black face. And any derogatory connotation makes me nervous and a bit angry.

 

But again, I do see your point and we will just have to disagree. Agreeably.

So Sorry that I discovered this

Yes Lee - this is demeaning and dehumanizing.

 

As opposed to Regis and Kelly - which is just disgusting

I remember Harvey Fierstein commenting on gays being shown as just clownish entertainment character; he said he supported "visibility at any cost."

 

You react strongly to such things as we're discussing here, though, which is understandable given what you describe.

 

Thanks for being very reasonable about our difference of opinion, Leigh.

FOS -- I guess I don't get where people get so worked up they have to get so personal about defending an opinion. I want differences of opinions. A world full of my opinion, though it would be right, would be dull :) We have another poster on this forum who told me that he lost a couple of friends because of an opnion he posted on a thread here a few weeks ago. I find that total repulsive. Must not have been real friends that's for sure. Because I damned well expect my friends to pull mye up by my short hairs when I'm wrong. And you know what: there may even be a chance you could convince me of your position. Minds are like parachutes -- they only work when they are open.
