I don't think religion or religious practice should be outright banned, because that would be the quickest way to start a new civil war in most countries. But I do 100% believe that religious practice should be stripped of most of its legal "protections", primarily the ones that let them get away with blatant hate speech. You can practice your religion in your own time, but that doesn't mean you can bash gays publicly, or use it to fuel racism or any other kind of bigotry on a public scale. That should be strictly illegal.

In America, we have this thing called freedom of speech. A lot of uninformed folks like to interpret this as the ability to get away with saying anything in public as long as you cry "FREEDOM OF SPEECH", but it's not. You still must suffer the consequences of saying stupid, ignorant, vitriolic things in public. The freedom of religion should be the same way. Unfortunately, things like the Red Scare and, of course, more recently terrorism, which has been painted in the media as being an entirely Islamic affair, have made efforts to weaponize Christianity vastly more successful, and as a result they have reaped the benefits of a multitude of legal protections that they do not even begin to deserve. The best way to secularize the US would be to actually follow the words of the founding fathers and to remove the protections that they have been enshrined with.

In my opinion, the Christian consensus is just as much of a terrorist group as "Islam" (i.e., the radicals who are actually terrorists, not ALL Islamic peoples). The only difference is that one uses guns and bombs, the other uses bigotry and emotional warfare. And I would much rather be blown up than forced into a "de-gaying" clinic, because at least getting blown up isn't de-humanizing.

@zomboise:

I just don't understand why, a straight religious family man has so much to argue about gays. God, can't you just turn your head and let people live their own life?

No, because to the vast majority of modern American xtians, the phrase "turn the other cheek" is always appended with "to open up another can of whoop-ass". Too bad they all suck at it, lel.

@Matie:

No not at all. At the end of the day, people still need a reason to live and be good. Atheism hasn't provided it. Modern atheism is more extreme and dogmatic than modern Christianity. Its one fierce dogma just shouting out the others.

This might be the funniest comment I've ever read on a gay porn forum.

quoting scripture on a gay porn board

I don't "hate" "Christians".

I hate their actions. The actions that they fully choose to partake in that marginalizes, criminalizes and ultimately dehumanizes every LGBT citizen of the world. Religion is the prime reason why we are still treated unequally (as well as women). People are free to believe whatever they want, and I fully respect that right, but DO NOT expect me to ACCEPT "religion" when it is unquestionably the reason that society at large still looks down upon us collectively.

People instinctively fear what they do not understand. It makes sense, then, that many religious people have an irrational disdain for "them homos", because they do not understand it… along with many, many other things that their blind faith has encouraged them to remain ignorant of throughout their lives. I am not "afraid" of religion; I understand it, quite well in fact, because I was indoctrinated into a rather extreme version of Southern Baptism from a disturbingly young age. What I do NOT understand, is what draws an individual to blindly believe in something that is so plainly a black hole of knowledge of the real world. Religion encourages ignorance of the worldly sciences, and thus how things actually, provably work; of our own biology, physiology and psychology, which has the power to improve the quality of life of everyone around the world; and of the human condition, which is absolutely necessary to understand in order to improve society. The very foundation of religion, being the outdated ideal that it is, is entirely framed around holding back the information that produces progress. And it disgusts me to my very core.

Literally every day.

@nordicblue:

That would defeat the purpose.  Marriage is only Christian if you are christian.  If you are not Christian, why bother.  Civil unions are marriages without the church.  Why not just write up a contract or trust, bequeathing your things to your partners - solver civil unions and tax purposes.  Want to have visiting rights and say in their health at the hospital - create an advanced directive and give your partner power of attorney, which is stronger than the rights marriage gives.

Except that:

1. There are other religions besides Christianity, all with their own interpretation of the concept of "marriage";
2. Straight atheists get married too; and
3. Generic "civil unions", as they stand in most countries, are NOT equivalent in terms of legal value to a marriage license.

And no, it wouldn't "defeat" the purpose, it would actually CLARIFY the purpose of both religious "marriage" and of a domestic partnership/cohabitation contract. "Marriage", at least according to one popular Western religion, should be about one's partnership being sanctified under the observation of a deity, not about the government.

As far as I'm concerned, the only reason that "marriage" is an institution at all, at least in the United States, is because Christians are hell-bent on making sure that THEIR religion remains institutionalized within the government, which is really disgusting imo, especially considering that it is and has always been a nation of immigrants. Yet another example of socially-sanctioned white supremacism in this country. (I also firmly believe that this - or more accurately, the increasing number of people who realize this about marriage - is precisely why the trend of declining marriage around the industrialized world has been happening for so long, but that's a different discussion entirely)

Marriage as a concept should have never had the government involved in the first place.

As far as I'm concerned, "marriage" can stay in the church, I don't care, but the legal benefits of a civil domestic partnership should not be limited to the same standards of any one religious doctrine's idea of "marriage". I say we strip religious marriage of all its legal value, and relegate those benefits instead to a genderless, numberless domestic household contract.

I prefer the word "queer" as an umbrella term for all "non-sexuality/gender-conforming individuals" - basically anyone who is not heterosexual or cisgendered. You can continue to further define it as necessary, but I think it's much more convenient then LGBTQIAWTFBBQ. But I can understand why some people would not agree with that usage, since the word has kind of a doubly negative connotation, in both older and modern English. Personally, I'm all for the reclaiming of "stolen" words, like the word "gay" itself.

@llibyor:

Actually the A is for Asexual.

it has documented use both ways, so it's really both.

STILL nothing? Wow. Come on guys. This is a pretty big offer here.

Last bump by me, I swear. But it's a doozie.
@Dax:

You know, wohdin, I have the same turn-on and the same complaint. I haven't been able to find any porn with big hairy Japanese bears, and I'd very much like to do so. Sure there are a lot of Japanese porn movies with muscular bears or (mostly) chubby bears, but these dudes are either hairless or barely hairy.

:announce:
So, to make things interesting, let's have some kind of contest. I offer 100 seedbonus points to anyone who will point me to the best Japanese porn with big hairy dudes. I mean really hairy (chest and legs and everything). There's gonna be only one winner, but if there is a runner-up with another good suggestion, he will receive 50 seedbonus points. Necessary conditions: the upload must be your own and the duration of the movie must be at least 20 minutes. The contest ends at the end of this month, and the seedbonus will be awarded on December 1st.

:lolp:

I'm gonna one-up this and say that I OFFICIALLY offer 500 seedbonus points to the first person who can rec me anything that adequately meets these criteria, and a subsequent 100 to any further adequate recs, up until the end of 2012. (I don't actually have 500 points right now, but I will in like 40 hours lol. If I'm "out" of points when a subsequent rec is made, PM me with your post and I will give you the points as soon as I have them.)

Anything? Aaaanyone? Come on, people, there has to be SOMETHING…

@Uwe:

If you are looking to get named some movie titles, it should be in the "Who is this? What video is this?" section. With the results you then could search the torrent list, respectively make requests in the Requests Boards.

If you like to make a general call for more of a specific type of porn content, it is here, respectively in the corresponding fetish SIG, or in the Erotica & Sexuality board (if no specific SIG).

Well, it's kind of both, really, but mostly the first one. That's why it's a "recommendation" thread lol, e.g., "recommend me some titles". But the way the rules in the identify board read made it sound like this kind of thread DID NOT belong there.

Well to be fair, I had absolutely no idea where to post this - there DESPERATELY needs to be a place specifically for "recommend me x type of porn" threads. But yeah, I would willingly hand over seedbonus to anyone who can recommend something really good that fits my criterion.

I mean NOTABLY hairy guys. This is WAY harder to find in Japanese porn than in Western porn (I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised lol, they are not a very hairy race), but I gotta have the body hair or it doesn't do much for me.

I don't watch a whole lot of Japanese porn, but those that I've seen almost always include it to some degree.

Preferrably muscle, hairy guys are a huge plus. Anything including extensive nipple play and sucking. Preferrably explicit, but doesn't have to be if it's hot enough. (If you have any examples of "pec fucking" that would be awesome too, but I'm not expecting much lol.)

This stuff is amazingly difficult to find. ???

"Hands-free" cumshot can refer to solo as well, so I dunno if that would be appropriate. @eobox: a torrent search for "hands free" in any form returns no results… @Spintendo: I've never heard of the autopilot one before, but it makes sense XD

Appearance-wise: Body hair, facial hair/stubble, "gachi-muchi" (kind of chunky but muscular) body type (both muscle and chub are hot to me, but it's the best of both ends!), "older" guys (30's or approaching that). Personality-wise: charismatic (duh, that's a given), funny/smart/polite. (I often find myself attracted strongly to Leos and Tauruses for some reason.)

Guys who are bigger than me in both height and broadness (which is rare, being 6'4 and fairly stocky it's hard to find guys bigger than me!) who fit any or multiple of those above are very likely to get my lower head's attention lol.
