1. So, can we have straight games that exclude gays?
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (08.31.08)
2. #1 why not we have a capital that excludes gays
Avi ,   Ramat Gan   (08.31.08)
Why not , we already have a capital (Jerusalem) that makes every effort to exclude gays and deny them their democratic rights? It seems you have a real issue with Gay people Baruch - ummm i wonder where that comes from ? So i guess by attacking every gay issue you can suppress your own homosexual feelings? You need help buddy, go on make that phone call there are people that can help you . good luck
3. #1 Baruch check your facts first
Simon ,   TA the free city   (08.31.08)
The Gay Games is open to all who wish to participate, without regard to sexual orientation. There are no qualifying standards to compete in the Gay Games. FACT! Nice attempt at homophobia though but next time instead of just launching on to your usual hate statements , try checking your facts. So i think they have an event for closet queens so dont worry you will be able to enter.
4. #1 Heavenly Yirushaliam is going to exclude active practicin
gays. Free at last, ,   Free at last!!!!!!   (08.31.08)
5. #3 ur statment is more hate filled
izzy d   (08.31.08)
then #1. you also accuse him of being a closet queen and in such a way as to hint that being a closet queen is a pejorative. so in fact u might as well hate yourself because ther is no difference between you and #1
6. Why is it when one objects to being gay,the gays accuse them
of being closet gay? ,   What's in the closet   (08.31.08)
7. To # 5 , # 1 is ALWAYS hatefull
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.31.08)
against seculars , Gay , everyone who has not his ideas , so here he deserves some "nice" words
8. Avi, Simon, and Charles
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (08.31.08)
Avi and Simon: It's really interesting that gays use the accusation that a critic of homosexuality is hiding his own homosexuality. Could it actually be that homosexuality is dysfunctional, abnormal, stupid, and comical, and that people like me just want you out of our faces with your nonsense? Drop the gay parades, the ridiculous gay "marriages and families", the notion that you are just another normal option in life, and the attempts to discredit us by saying we are really just you in disguise. Apparently you think this is insulting. It is, but it isn't true. Charles, calliing people who disagree with something that deserves disagreement "hateful" is just a cheap, weak and insulting way to argue, when you have no facts.

lildoobird ,   Jerusalem   (08.31.08)
ISNT THIS AN IMPORTANT ARTICL AND TOPIC. I wish gays wold stop defining themselves by their genitile activity and spend more time on their interesting character traits and interests.
10. if you...
ilan ,   ta   (08.31.08)
it's interesting to say the least when a jew mocks a gay. reminds me of how much the jews suffered by other people's remarks and acts and killings against them. yet these jews have learned nothing from the shoah and have learned nothing of tolerance. baruch - this means you. you are a disgrace to the 6million of us the perished. you make their perishing seem like nothing. you disgust me.
11. # 3 There's No Such Thing as Homophobia
Thomas   (09.01.08)
12. Baruch
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.01.08)
It's not because you disagree , it's because the way you do it . If i would say that i want those charidim out of my face [ as you do with Gays ] Would this not be hatefull ? But , contrary to you , i don't say such things .
13. Grow up Baruch!
Dov ,   Poleg   (09.01.08)
Grow up and get a life! Ever heard of live and let live. What's your problem with gay sports events? good luck to them and let them enjoy themselves! As far as I'm concerned gays can march, play golf and table tennis wherever and whenever they want.
14. Me,my husband and our boys will be there to celebrate
Yaakov Sullivan ,   NYC   (09.01.08)
Also I hope to help in the dance arena ( I am a nude salsa dance instructor) What a delight to be with our brothers and sisters together in unity! I hope to see many Palestinian gays and also gays from Emirates ( Very active and spiritual community) I love to visit Europe and Danemark and to tour their wonderful churches and party, party, party.
15. When y'all chose to be gay,you must have known that enduring
our heckling comes ,   with the lifestyle.   (09.01.08)
16. "Homophobia" is a myth
Jared ,   New York, USA   (09.04.08)
Nobody fears gays. Some people find their lifestyle immoral and wrong for religious and, yes, even secular reasons (do you have to be religious to disagree with the message that these leather- and lasciviousness-filled "parades" send to society at large?); some people resent the gay community's attempts to force the legitimization of their lifestyle down our throats through the courts rather than the democratic process; and I'd imagine that some people just find the idea of two men having sex, well, gross. But you can't honestly say that people who harbor these feelings have a phobia. It isn't fair to brand every person who raises questions about the gay lifestyle or gay political agenda as some firebrand Haredi full of irrational hate.
17. #14
Jared ,   New York, USA   (09.04.08)
Jesus is going to be sooooooo mad at you!
18. #3: The "Free City"?
Jared ,   New York, USA   (09.04.08)
As someone who's lived in Tel aviv, I wonder: What is this "TA the free city" garbage that you append to your signature with every talkback? Enlighten me. How is Tel Aviv THE free city? How is it more free than any other secular Israeli city? And what do you mean by "free"?
19. #14 - You are retarded....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (09.05.08)
Nude salsa dancing, partying and visiting churches with your children...who the F... entrusted you with children? Ooops, I forgot your fantasy about adopting from Ramallah with Hassan your imaginary Palestinian boyfriend.
