I can’t see him getting much abuse from fans. Not sure homophobia is that much of a thing to be honest.

I know people might say this is rubbish but this is the "straight white male priviledge" that people go on about, just because it's not something that we experienc in normal day to day life doesn't mean it isn't an issue.

Gay men and women are still regularly assaulted when people realise they're gay or for holding hands in public. And that's just in this country.

Have you ever seen how football fans from other countries react when clubs have promoted gay pride?

Yeah because homophobia is such a problem with straight, white, males only.

The only people that go on about it are tools like you. Self appointed apologists who get offended on behalf of any minority they can latch onto to give themselves some kind of self important purpose on the internet.

****ing idiot.

It was a response to someone saying "Not sure homophobia is that much of a thing to be honest" rather than pointing the finger at straight, white, males only. The point, in this case, being that if you live as what is presented as the norm then you generally don't see the experiences of people who don't share those characteristics and therefore can easily underestimate/deny any problems they experience or how difficult their lives can be because of them.

He’s right though. He wasn’t “getting offended”, it’s just a fact that as a straight white bloke you can’t really relate because the general public , and more to the points, other young, white (or maybe otherwise) males will look at you differently to someone who is walking down the street holding hands with a member of the same sex.
