Does the term "flamer" have anything at all to do with gay bashing?

Its one of those scenarios where they obviously do not understand the terminology used on the net. Unfortunately not everyone has been around long enough to remember what was used last year even let alone 6 or 7 years back.\n\nDont worry about it. Seems to me they are just a bt sensitive and did not understand what you were actually saying.\n\nBtw, for those who dont know, check the link.

I have no idea what the answer to this is, but have noticed the same myself.  Had a lesbian aquaintance who was always making fun of gay men, and a lesbian woman that I worked with hated gay men.  Did not understand it.

I hope you're not planning on the next riot of 2006.  Summer is just beginning and you need to cool your heels and slow your roll down.  By chance, are you angry with someone and wish to "shaka boom bing bam slam" him?  I hope it's not your brother, and that you are not using this forum for a means of retaliation.  Are you feeling me?

Yes.  Homophobia and gay bashing are still rampant.  Just look at some of the answers to questions here and you'll see it,

Just don't be with a flamer.  Hate does not fix things.  There are obnoxious people in every type just take it as that. Love yourself and your life and understand it takes all kinds.

Technically, its not a racial term. It is just a term blacks used to identify whites who were abusive. Since it carries emotional hatred, it became a pseudo racial epithet but to be honest it is pretty weak and silly. It's basically using an old slang that meant "racist" as a racist term. See the problem?

the attack on gays  has to do with wanting someone to demonize to attack because they are different. However anyone that attacks gays which is OT stuff should not have sideburns, should not eat ANY shellfish and follow ALL the OT laws. the same goes for those that love to demonize witches. the bible implies both karma and reincarnation but people whould rather not pay attention to any symbolic or deeper meanings instead make up thier own definition of it i.e. born again is now a sect of christianity and not a term for reincarnation.\n\nkarma is in the bible TWICE as you reap what you sow and an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.\n\nreincarnation is also in the bible as you must be born agian and I knew you before you were born. the thing is most christians whould rather excuse it to mean some brand of fundamentalist christianity.\n\nchristians that attack gays are either\n1) insecure with themselves\n2)having marital problems and want someone to blame\n3) too intellecually lazy to think about what they are doing\n4) have been bullied in the past and want an outlet to vent

I'm straight but I have alot of gay friends.  I like to answer questions in this category for three reasons:  1) the questions are usually more interesting than in alot of other categories, 2) to show my support and 3) I like to try to give helpful advice particularly to young gay people who are struggling.  I have a theory about these "heteros" who constantly bash, harass and make disparaging remarks about gay people.  To me the ones that scream the loudest in their opposition to homosexuality are either religious zealots or self-loathing, paranoid closet queens.  Most straight people, even ones uncomfortable with homosexuality, don't make such a big deal about it.

Probably because so many people come to this site  and instead of contributing anything answer with sayings such as "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve", answer with things such as "Repent now before you burn in hell", answer with carefully selected Bible quotes, and answer with childish name calling. If those people would choose to be civil and actually answer a question, it would not be a problem. Since they, however, choose to answer questions purely out of hatred of gay people, I would think that some gay people have had enough of it and choose to respond in kind.

I never said that was nothing at all.  You know what?. . .I like it more when you ask funny questions.  Did you notice how Christian93 posted 8 comments to your question about gay sex?  Looks like someone has a crush on you!!!!

wait a second, i think i am confused or u are either using horribly bad puns. if you are implying that you are straight and u know this gay guy who wants to give you anal sex then you should be flattered yet offended because that is still sexual harrassment whether gay or not. u couldnt say that to a woman right. and by the way i'm gay so gay guys dont get mad at my answer.

Honey,\n\nIt's not that you are gay.  Most people use gay as a synonym for quiet (Beta in anthropological terms if you would) and attack bois that they perceive as weaker than themselves, in order to build themselves up.  This reduction of the humanity of other males perceived as weaker than the self dates back to ealier times -- when commonly the males of a victorious army raped the losers, not because they were gay, they weren't -- but rather because it demeaned those raped and clearly demonstrated their dominance (it is the same mentality that prevades prisons).\n\nYou are not picked on because people really think you are bi or gay -- though you happen to be, most of those who call you a faggot would be extremely surprised to discover you are actually homosexual.  You are picked on because you are thought of as weak.\n\nPity those who do this.  The fact that so many males of our species have not evolved past that point is truly pathetic.  Be yourself, and don't worry about hatred of fools.  If you need to talk to someone, email me at believeinyou24@yahoo.com . \n\nRegards,\n\nReynolds Jones\nSchenectady, NY\nhttp://www.rebuff.org

They can insult each other's manhood in the same way straight men do. Just as there are plenty of effeminate straight men there are a lot of masculine gay men. Insulting one's manhood is even more prevalent in the gay community since your sexual orientation has already knocked you down a point on that. So they make it up by being even better than the other boys. It is an insult for a gay man to be compared to a woman just as it would be for a straight man.
