    The only homosexual people I have an issue with are those that define themselves by their homosexuality. The people who feel the need for their sexuality to be there sole defining factor. In my mind you're not a "gay person". You're a person who is gay. But that's only a part of who you are. Just like being straight is only a part of who I am.

    It also seems that often those who are really offended are so because their definition of a man or women includes being straight. If all the sudden a man can be homosexual. That throws off their definition of themselves. It's a hard thing to change. Traditions don't give way easily.

    Please note that me quoting the below is not meant to slam any of you or to have a confrontation with you. This is just because Larry wanted a pointer where gays are discriminated against or someone offended by OP. This is only my opinion on how I saw the replying posts.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Seems this person my be offended by the OP's post.

    As well as this one.

    Here's one that seems to be offended by ladyboys, a name by which gays are often referred to. Offended enough to say that Toyota has officially lost a customer.

    No explanation needed for the quotes below.

    In regards to hate, I still see a lot in this thread.

    I guess you don't see it the way I do. Perhaps I'm a tad sensitive.

    Nice and succinct.

    Do I question whether or not the ad will sell cars? Sure, a little bit but it clearly has us all talking which is probably the point.

    Does it offend me? Not in the slightest.

    Do the responses of some people in this thread offend me? Absolutely. But this is tacomaworld what did you expect?

    Look out for snakes in the grass guerrilla marketing.
    I say let gay people get married, they should be as miserable as the rest of us.

    This thread is now about sharks in tuxedos.

    you have twice the posts here than I do...I'd assume your skin would be a bit thicker than not.

    however, I respect your opinions here and in other threads as well. :cheers:

    As I do yours. :proposetoast:

    More than anything my views stem from what I've seen my friends go through when it comes to them being judged and how it hurts them. Especially from their own families.

    I don't believe in Adam and Eve... I'm not a product of incest because if I remember from bible classes (raised christian) Adam and Eve had 2 sons, One killed the other as a sacrifice to god... So, How did they populate the earth without the living son doing his mom?. But, Thats your opinion and choice... It should not have any affect on me because my life style and choices have no affect on you.

    I think she may have told you a lie, Or she was very single minded... I didn't wake up one day and say "Oh i want to be gay"... When I realized I was more attracted to other guys then girls, I got terrified and did everything I could to change my mind (I've slept with a few womens before coming out of the closet [found the pink taco very unattractive and unappealing, I wonder how I managed a bonner]). To me being gay meant I might lose all of my friends, my family, my life, my home... everything. I was raised to be straight (probably why i'm into "guy" things instead of "gay" things). I just wanted to be normal like everyone else, Live the american dream... Get married, have kids, a steady job, own a house in the suburbs etc... And from all the other lil homo's I've met, Many have lost everything and several continue to live a lie to their families including my two ex's. It probably is a choice for a those that are BI-SEXUAL regarding if they want beef or fish taco's. But for full blown gays, I don't see it being a choice for many.

    Thanks :D... This isn't my first and only car/truck forum (i think i'm on 12).:confused:

    Eve had Seth after Abel was killed and Cain fled to the east with his wife.

    The Bible is not specific but there were other sons and daughters.
    Seth's line produced Noah.
