It starts with things like "fruit" being acceptable. It's like when a Christian talks about how Christ like he is while sneering at your homosexuality, While out in the field a gay kid is crucified to a fence in the October night. |

Juyemura Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1 Posts: 4 | I also find the title of "Fruit Loop" offensive. Perhaps there should be a poll for other title options. |

DJTeddyBear Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 265 | Frankly, given the light-hearted nature of the other forum titles and descriptions, I do NOT find it offensive. Then again, I'm not gay. Perhaps we should ask our most outspoken member about it. Nareed? Waddaya think? Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

WongBo Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1 Posts: 14 | I know you aren't trying to offend, but the "controversy" about homosexuality, Present in every known culture in every era, geography, and ethnicity, Is just getting a little old for some of us. ;) |

Another reason we went with this title is because a large gay community in Las Vegas happily and voluntarily refers to itself as the Fruit Loop. |

WongBo Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1 Posts: 14 | A lot of gay people have tried to reclaim and defuse the words that have been used against them. They have also been used by people who seek to subjugate them into second class status. Until that status is recognized as the unAmerican class segregation it is, there will be serious people who don't stand for it. |

Boz Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 0 Posts: 5 | Sounds like one of those things where you will never please ALL the people ALL the time. My opinion is to go with what you feel is OK and never try to please everyone. |
