Clearly it's not accepted by everyone, this thread proves that. If anything, the ones defending gay people are in the minority here.

No, I don’t like to see two blokes kissing, but then again, I would disapprove of a similar hetrosexual public display in my local. I haven’t been to a club or disco, where That is appropriate, for 25 years.
I don’t think gay people should make a big song and dance about being gay, not because it makes me feel uncomfortable, but because I think ones sexuality is personal and nobody else’s business. Only gay people seem to want to make their sexuality other people’s business for some reason and I think it’s counter productive to their wish to be accepted.
Bluematt thinks homophobia and racism are only words but deletes posts for being offensive.
Can anyone see anything wrong with this?
Exactly, it's easy for those who have never experienced anything similar in their lives to lecture them about being wrong in the way they act.
Forget about sexuality, people react to any set of circumstances in different ways - for some it's like water off a duck's back and they just get on with their lives and with others, they get worked up about it and feel the need to demonstrate their feelings on the subject.
Whether they are straight or gay, it's possible for two people to have completely contrasting reactions to something and as long as they both stay within the law with that reaction, then the other party should accept that they are free to put their point of view over - why someone should get worked up the original subject of this thread is beyond me though.
Whats wrong with Matt and TH holding the views they hold? They are allowed an opinion arent they? They are not being homophobic themselves, they might be being a bit naive in thinking theres no need for gay bars and clubs, but they are not holding them views because they are homophobic.
As per usual in these nonsense threads, where no one is going to change their mind and they go on and on forever, its find fault with something Matt has said or done and rip into him.
If you think you would make such a great and fair moderator why dont you offer Mike your services?
I don't recall him being involved in the conversation about missing posts (unless I missed it or BM deleted it :hehe: ) yet as it's an argument he pops up anyway.
Can imagine him walking through Waitrose with his shopping getting involved with an argument with 2 strangers, just because he feels like.
Do you read the thread? Racism was being discussed because of the BBC advert.
I don't think anything ridiculous has been said in this thread either way. Other than me trying to wind up Matt a little bit.
The whole point of the board is to debate other people's opinions, I'm not saying either of them are bad people just that I disagree with them.
Don't lump me in with that idiot.
Yes I have read the thread, why I dont know, bored in work I guess. No-one was being remotely racist, differences of opinion on race quotas doesnt meant anyone is being racist so why should Matt have deleted anything on this thread with regards racism or homophobia?
