This seems relevent to your interests. It offers a chance to mock those who disagree with perverse behavior.

How about no queer, no GLBT, no homosexual/gay/lesbian, or gender identity studies. The only reason for any of the previous is to validate that which is destructive, repugnant, sinful and unhealthy, and to recruit young people.

How about it all goes back into the closet.

I do prefer the term queer studies to the former term gay and lesbian studies because it takes the focus away from sexual acts and looks at people who are different in the way they interact with their society. It doesn’t just include people who pair off sexually with members of their own gender, it includes people who never pair off, who live celibate lives, and who focus on their job or their ministry.

How can you even consider putting those people in the same group as homosexuals and calling them queer? What a slap in the face for those who are single for ANY reason.

Are you sure you're on the right forum?

I haven’t looked at any other comments but I will. His comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever other than promoting perversion.

So, I'm queer because I've never gotten married?

And I’ll bet you never knew...

Quite a revelation, isn’t it, that someone thinks you’re no different than a homosexual cause you can’t relate to society *normally*. Like only married people can....

I’m going back to the original “real” meaning of the word, before it took on the modern sexual connotation that was first pejorative and is now claimed by the activists.

Even under the original meaning of the word (strange or odd) that is offensive. People are not strange just because they are celibate.

And these days, grouping nay morally correct person with the sodomites is very offensive.

Unfortunately the word "queer" has been permanently ruined. Just like "gay" has been permanently ruined.
