To those who questioned the need for this thread, it must surely be self-evident by now. While many of us hope for, and think we live in a "perfect" world, ( I have a Dream!) the one we actually live in is still far, far from it. And not just in Lethbridge or Pickle Lake, but in T.O. ( hi VB!)

For those who offer the Bible as justification for, well, pretty any belief: for every bible-based proscription of anything, (including homosexuality--what a term:medicalization=marginalization!) its EASY to offer 10 biblical proscriptions against all manner of silly stuff that we all ignore and no-one EVER mentions—CM offered a few examples, and there’s way more where that came from ( especially for those of you who wear clothes made of different kinds of stuff, shave, have tattoos or eat shrimp etc. etc. etc.)

Thank you Charmscars for bringing Foucault into the picture. Vivid boy and DJM really need to go to the library, and get something by Foucault and read it so they can learn to start asking questions about why they feel/believe what they do and where those feelings and beliefs come from. VB's “cut down the middle” from the family stuff is the place to START to learn about HIMSELF, not the end about why he should be criticising others for who they are. VB's gay bashing joke is so not funny. I guess next he's gonna "joke" about stringin' hisself up some niggas' and that we're supposed to laugh at that too?

But what really makes me sad, is that for many, Trance is a pathway, the low door in the wall, to awareness and enlightenment of the profoundest kind. I almost can’t comprehend that there are people in this forum who seem to have totally missed that essential element of this art form. It seems that PLUR is Profoundly Missing from so many of the posts in this thread.

Peace, love, unity and respect to you all.

^^^^

that's a great post i hopeppl take the time to read and understand it (and welcome to TA btw)

True...and half the battle is learning to recognize it in it's many, many beautiful forms...

(having said that I'm going to hug myself now and listen to some Trance in my pants...)

Thanks Strange Quark. I'd add a comment, but don't think that anything I could add would even come close to the way you captured it.

Welcome to TA, btw. For the record, most of the people on here are incredibly cool and accepting of everyone... you just walked into a bad thread (LOL).

oh no not again.. ok how about i explain you someting as an example. if you were a male and not gay, would you go watch queer as folk on channel 39? would you be able to see 2 men having sex with each other? thats wat i cant look at, it seriuosly makes me sick. i wouldnt mind if i see two guys holding hands or maybe even hugging. its just my opinion about being gay, thats all.

no one is forcing you to watch anyone having sex. and no one is forcng you to watch any TV show. so wtf are you complaining about? Unless it's porn, sexual acts are performed in private, so they aren't really any of your concern or anyone elses.


and..you are making a massive asumption when you assume that all straight ppl have a problem w/ the sexual acts that go on between 2 men. The 1st porn I have ever seen was gay porn (it was my bf's cousins and about 6 of us watched it when we were 15)and no one had a problem w/ it. I'm not saying that this is necessarily common behavious for groups of straight teenagers, but it does demonstrate that not everyone feels the way that you do.

ps i'm getting really sick of explaining things in this thread, but i feel really strongly about the topic at hand and i will continue to defend my position. I hope some day that TOTA can be considered a 'gay postive' space.

i agree..
i get quite emotional on this matter simply because ive been so close to the culture over the last year and a half so ive pretty much stayed out of it...Theres been some awesome posts by charms, strangequark, etc and some very uninformed posts by certain others....


welcome to TA strangequark

the level of PLUR certainly can lack here from time to time...but like chris said..there are some awesome people on here...
