I believe most if any sort of homsexual activity in the state of Utah is declared illegal for ovbious reasons.

I love how you're going to make a point of presuming that everyone agrees with that.

Andreas brings up a good point that I forgot about: Most of those pro cheerleaders aren't that attractive. Still, it's the principle of the thing.

These started bothering me, so I just want to clear this up. I don't find women attractive at any levels. I VERY ****ing MUCH prefer my own gender. Therefore is there something wrong with my hormones, am I not "manly" anymore? Fine, it was a joke, but still... :doubt:

I'm sorry, but I had to let that out, of course you didn't mean no harm.:sigh:

I know, I just felt little bit bothered by it. Sorry for making a fuss about it.

Nah, you make a good point in highlighting it anyways.  Particularly with regards to our preconceptions. :)

I stand corrected.  Lawrence v. Texas invalidated laws declaring homosexual activity criminal, at least in the state of Texas.  
Marriages are still prohibited though, according to Utah state code.

Besides, cheerleaders really dont do it for me.  Sure, they may look pretty, but the high school marching band is where it's at.  Takes a girl with brains to play a  musical instrument while marching - that's hot.

:nervous:

I've been in the marching band for all four years, and I have to say it really doesn't do anything for me in that respect, or in any respect, come to think of it. The ridiculous uniforms....

Now, granted, our cheerleaders aren't much to speak of either.

For me, I would simply go back to the big point of I wouldn't want my daughter in a position like that. I feel it demeans her somewhat. That would be the biggest sticking point (among others) that I would have issues with.

Then you'd tell her not to be a cheerleader, Steak. But if parents don't have problems with having their daughters be in that position, then that's their perogative as parents, right?

It was only a joke. If anything, the smiley face at the end of the post should have hinted you to that.
As for you not finding women atractive, that´s another issue.
Would you rather have male cheerleaders? If there were, would that change your opinion wether cheerleaders should be banned? Or do you just think the one gender should be?
As an example, i don´t like watching men when i go to the beach. Does that mean i have a reasonable basis to have them banned from the beaches? I don´t like fat women wearing bikinis. Should i get them banned from wearing a bikini? Obviously not. If anything, i can just change beach. Just like people who don´t like cheeleaders can change channel, or simply look away.
Also, keep in mind that democracies are ruled by the wishes of a majority, on just about anything. And since male homossexuals (and other non cheerleader lovers) are a minority in the US, you can´t expect the wishes or grievences of a minority to take precedence over the majority.
Let´s face it, most males like to watch cheerleaders dance. Even if some parents don´t want their daughter doing it, they don´t complain about watching someone else´s daughter.
It´s like the only time they complain about it is when it hits too close to home. The rest of the time they are pretty much content in watching and feeling just as horny as the next man.

Oh yeah, of course. But I wouldn't be able to shake the feeling that other parents might think the same thing... and that our daughters would go ahead and do it, despite our instruction. I guess it's not just the fact that there's the option there - which can and should be justly refused - but that it also sets up expectations for everyone else. It's all very tangled, I think.

I don't see the need for cheerleaders, male or female, I'd want men to compete completely nude, like in ancient Greece. :D
And I did understand it was a joke, but it just started bothering me, so I just wanted to make sure. Peace. :)

Hmm... I guess there's a second issue if she simply likes doing it; for the cameraderie, or something (I have no idea; I live in a country pretty much devoid of such things, thanks to our entertaining sports).
