Thats great for them.....but there are us guys out there that are still really into their cars, but not into the women. I just think for myself I would feel better knowing there are some people in here on my level. (no offense breeders).
So I guess I know there are people out there that don't agree with homosexuality....and that is great. No one is asking you to be gay. Just I would appreciate it for us who are gay that we have the ability to make some friends on here.
Thank you for listening and your support.

I'm pretty happy that you feel comfortable with being honest, too, maybe even just a few years ago it wouldn't have been welcomed! Glad to know people are making progress (mostly
)

damn edwin,
just because you might not like homosexuals, don't suppress their right to open a thread. i don't see how this thread is any different than a thread asking who's from texas. it's all for a sense of community and belonging... and in a sense, of safety.
ghinesley was man enough to admit how he identifies sexually. are you man enough to admit that you don't like homosexuals for who they are? don't come here rolling your eyes and whacking your monkey when you close a thread simply on the basis that it does not follow what you think is right or true or important. that, my good edwin, is pure ignorance. open your eyes. open your mind. and more importantly, open your heart.
come back and redeem yourself. we all know you are an *******. we all know you are *****. most of the time, it's damned warranted and i agree with your attitude. but this is one of those times i cannot and will not accept your actions. please, don't prove to us you are a bigot and an intolerant bastard to boot. there's no room on the boards for that.

Alright, I've kept my trap shut for long enough...Over the months that I've been around this board, I have noticed the obvious, and that is that THE MAN is kinda gruff; ie *******. You know what? That's just him and the way he talks.
How many spanking monkeys and rolled eyes has he posted in the last year? I dunno.
It's funny how everyone claims to be open-minded, but Edwin isn't allowed to express his opinion without taking **** from you guys.
I believe that THE MAN has just as much right to roll his eyes as ghinesley has to call us "breeders".
BTW, this is a Protege Enthusiast forum, not a freeway rest stop. Did you seriously think that you weren't gonna take a little bit of **** when you made your announcement? This forum is made up of mostly college guys. College guys are famous for heckling.
Please don't think that I'm homophobic, "to each his own". I just think that ghinesley was trying to "stir up the pot" when he started this thread, and I'm stating my opinion.
...Looks like I'll be the new punching bag!

Ok guys......Listen up.....If I didn't make myself clear.....I AM LOOKING FOR SUPPORT. I am not on here to find a man or hookup. I joined this forum first to talk about my Protege5. I found that there is an Off topic section and was reading through and noticed what people were talking about off topic stuff. So I thought of seeing who else out there are homosexual.
Its cool that you guys are into the ladies....I am just not. I am sorry for calling you breeders. That is just a term that I use for straight people....such as there are many words straight people use for homosexuals. (although I find my word not as offensive).
I remember titling this thread as for homosexual protege owners. Now I value everyones opinion but I wasnt expecting anybody but homosexual people to post on this. Its cool that there is but I was just trying to see who else out there could relate to me on a level more than my car.
As far as the homophobic people go......well what can I say...I am sorry. If you have a problem with the homosexual people on here...please dont respond. I am sure we have heard all that you have to say while growing up dealing with our society not accepting us anyway.
I would like to put a special thanks out there to TONKABUI and the others that have supported this. Thank you sooo much. Tonkabui had many valid points and I am glad there are people like that in this club.
Again I feel that I apologize too much. But to the people who feel this is not a car forum topic (eventhough it is in the OFF TOPIC) I would like to apologize for trying to make myself more comfortable in this forum.
Thank you for listening and support.

The eye-rolling and monkey-spanking images didn't bother me. It bothered me that he shut down the thread without valid cause, and I think that's what most people have a problem with. I actually laughed when I saw his two little images, because I knew they were just him being himself, which is fine. Just don't censor our right to have a thread like this.

The only thing that really matters(around here)is that we all love our Proteges and we keep sharing ideas/tricks on how to make 'em even better!
One big happy dysfunctional Protege family!
