jess, you are racist. you must NEVER associate those flags with gay people. people wearing those flags are not really gay, they just want to produce a bad image on gay people! :P

There's a difference between racism and prejudice

fortunely choclady is always here for everybody

i really though the rainbow was the gay sign and also they are proud of it ...
why some of gay people i know stick a rainbow on my car last year on the day of this parad ???
maybe because they wanted me to hate them, or i don't know, i'm completely lost now ...

Not really, prejudice is racisism, rasicism is just a prejudice you have. There's no real reason for it.

And choco, you really are stupid. If I walked around with a rainbow flag, that would make me gay? According to your logic it would.

Rainbow is a sign for acceptance. Gays use it beacause they want acceptance, anti-racists use it. Immigrants use it. Are they all gay?

Choc said "association" you said a "sign" - if i walked, mincing around talking with a sort of lisp people would think i'm gay - but it doesn't make me so...

prejudice is more than racism - they cross over but they are two different things

I'm tolerant, more so than you'd think. You can do and say whatever you want just as long as you don't hurt me or anyone I care about. I say let everyone live in peace. I didn't come here to insult anybody, but some of you just don't seem to get it.

And racisim IS prejudice. It's discrimination. It's wrong. We're all equal, and prejudice, racism, stereotypes and discrimination all say we're not. Same thing.

There are different kind of words for walking too, but it's still just walking. Your arguments are pretty thin.
