Hello! (...) Maybe that's a good sign. This group was founded for those who felt uncomfortable posting certain things in the "normal" Lugnet newsgroups. So when nobody is posting to .lgbt it possibly means there is - currently - nobody feeling (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.people.lgbt)

(...) No, I'm feeling too uncomfortable to post... Afraid to be bashed all over Lugnet again... And that is no good. Not at all. Saskia (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.people.lgbt)

This doesn't make any sense to me. It's like Monty Pythons "Life of Brian" when they talk about fighting for the right for men to have babies even though they can't physically have them. It would be like fighting for the legal right to marry and (...) (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.people.lgbt)

(...) I know I didn't read ALL of the postings for the prior discussion, so I may have missed the ones Saskia is saying she was bashed in, but of the ones I did read, I didn't see anyone 'gay bashing', using crude/derogatory slangs at anyone else.

(...) (URL) "Come on, before the modern term of 'homosexual' was coined into English, everyone knew what a sodomite was..." 'Sodomite', in case you didn't know, is considered offensive and an insult.

(...) Agreed. It is also inaccurate in that (at least in my view, which may be flawed because I'm hetero) having a preference and acting on that preference are not at all the same thing.

(...) I believe 'sodomite' is an accurate term, and the way I used it was not to bash anyone. You neglected to show the context in which I used that word in the first place, which was to show that by the term 'sodomite' one would know both 'sexual (...)

Hi, Is this really lgbt lego oriented, or can this be moved to off topic? I didn't join this newsgroup to discuss what a sodomite is, frankly. Not that there is anything wrong with being one. Angela (20 years ago, 12-Oct-04, to lugnet.people.lgbt)
