Anyway I am off for a kebab

Thank **** for that

You obviously don’t get it. Read this and that’s my last post to you.

Everyone is part of the problem in some way.

Can't be offended by gay chants, and make posts sexualising women you'd like to ****. That offends someone else.

You've googled homophobic attacks and come up with three links.

One of the links refers to 1995 ... 22 years ago.

Obviously a very sad event, but hardly worth bringing up in the context of my original post.

ITT: homophobia doesn't exist coz I haven't seen it

'They' will just say it's racist because you refuse to wear black or brown laces. You can't win either way.

Seen a bloke get punched in town for being gay once. Was told to talk like a man now a ponce..He spoke up and took a blow to the face.

Another time, not too long back, a man got beat up because a straight guy he went with (straight guys choice) got embarrassed when people found out and beat up the bloke the following week..He actually had a hiding after it because people didn't like what he did. He was on a pretty bad state and had the bruises for quite a while.

I once saved a bloke from getting a beating after a small group of blokes saw him coming out of " Minskies " ( or whatever it was called ) back in the mid 90's, We went for a Curry after, nice enough lad, a little " camp " but it was all to show he was gay, he would only eat a Korma aswell :hehe: enough said :hehe:

I don't get the camp voice and the over excitedness of some gay men, but then again they probably don't care and it's none of my business.
People can be arseholes can't they unfortunately.

For all I know I might be watching a gay bloke kicking a ball around every other week. Half the people who sit near me could be gay.

I DONT GIVE A SHIT.

I just can’t for the life of me understand why people have to make a song and dance out of it, have special flags, parades and Christ knows what else. I couldn’t give a toss what people, gay or straight, do in their bedrooms. If anything, THEY are making it a big deal with parades etc, just get on with it ffs.

There are a couple of friends of friends who are like that. Can't understand why.
I was thinking could be a sort of "I'm gay deal with it" the way people make a huge point of doing it. Then there are gays who also dont get it..So **** knows.

Evening sludge.

Friendly question, as it's a Sunday and I'm bored. Why is it ok to sexualize women, but not ok to say nasty things about gays?

I fancy women , some blokes fancy other men

And some are not sure , usually the ones who go on about gays all the time

It's as simple as that , because I fancy women , that's who I have sexual thoughts about if I am on the pull, as do straight women with blokes

If you are a gay man you have sexual thoughts about other men

It's nothing to do with sexualising women at all , if I my bank manager is a woman or a woman I am seeing is in a powerful job and earns loads of money then that's fine by me

I am sexy , not sexist

I didn't say sexist.

Saying "I'd shag xxx celebrity" is crude and offensive, just as bashing gays is.

But one is ok and the other isn't?

I think you will find there is a huge difference between fancying a celebrity and chanting homophobic abuse at someone at a football match or waiting outside a gay club to give a person abuse or attacking them simply because they are gay

I mean I fancy the pants off Renee zellwegger I don't send her offensive letters or emails or wait outside film premieres to shout get your tits out

But I digress , football is for everyone , straight , gay , men , women , disabled people , ethnic minorities

Even people from Swansea

Ask the women you write threads about how they feel when they read your comments. No different to workmen wolf whistling at women passing by, and that offends women.
Anti gay chanting is also offensive, so we have two offensive actions taking place. Seem the same to me.

It doesn’t bother me, I just don’t see the point.
If you go around shouting “look at me I’m different” long enough, then sooner or later someone’s gonna think you’re different.
If an LGBT person wants their sexuality to be, rightly, accepted as normal, then act normal and keep your sexual preferences private like the rest of us.

Because it's not enough for them to be accepted and left to get on with it. No they need to be 'celebrated'.

No need to wear leopard hotpants and a feather boa either, at least not out in public :wave:

Women who read the threads think it's hilarious , they know I am taking the piss out of myself , they have told me via pm

I would never intimidate a woman in the way you are suggesting , singing get your tits out for the lads used to be a regular chant when an attractive woman walked around a football ground , you wouldn't catch me joining in with that crap

You are just fishing for an arguement , you have already said you are bored


Even I am getting bored

I couldn't care less , if a gay bloke wants to wear tight rubber pants and dance around on Mardi gras day it doesn't bother me in the slightest

I am not black either but do I have to be black to be offended by racism ?

It's my club and I want everyone to feel welcome , whatever their background and whatever they do in their private life

Anyone who moans about these sort of initiatives is either hiding in the closet or is very small minded , it's a drop in the ocean money wise compared to share going around in football

The kick racism out of football is also a very good campaign

I'm bored but not fishing for an argument.

Of course the threads are funny, they don't offend me in the slightest...but to make the point..they aren't any different to get chants.

How was your kebab? I settled for 2 bags of Haribo and 4 litres of coke.

Sludge in a trying to show a modern, liberal attitude towards homosexuals, whilst being stuck in the dark ages with his attitude towards women.

I can see the double standards too.

I agree I haven't exactly been easy to get on with today..bit of an awkward bastard in reality..but your a decent poster I wouldn't go out of my way to disagree for the sake of it.
Agree to disagree it will have to be.
I like salad, garlic, bbq and cheese on my chicken shish..cheese goes surprisingly well if they don't lumo it on.

If you are shocked by a gay bloke dressed in black leather wearing make up , holding hands with his boyfriend then you need to get with it

I am shocked by brutal murders , Donald trump , the suicide bombings going on all over the world etc
