You have really not helped by showing such a lack of intellect to write such a ridiculous statement. It just shows how little you understand.

it isn’t in the dictionary because straighties made it up! they just wanted their own version of homophobia because they’re greedy and entitled

it’s literally “they have homophobia? then WE SHOULD HAVE HETEROPHOBIA”

a “they have black history month but we don’t have white history month” tea

It’s not about having fking words. Just bc ur community is a minority doesn’t mean the majority can’t suffer discrimination what backwards logic

You cannot just make things up, nobody can, but nice try.

several of my friends are gay, but oddly, they actually talk about other subjects, like movies, music, clothes, holidays etc

Shane J is a one trick pony

Im Gay, Im Gay, Im Gay, oh by the way, did you know Im gay

He doesnt seem to be able to handle the fact that nobody gives a ****, if he is gay or not, they wanted to talk to him, not the Gay spokesman of the world

If he ever gets the f..k over himself, he might be a fairly nice guy, but right now, he just needs to understand that life does not revolve around him, not sure he can deal with that though

Hope he goes tonight, really hoping

Homosexuality is fine, just as long as you're quiet about it!

[Marches]

Homophobia is less of an issue if homosexuality were ignored rather than celebrated. When you champion something like sexuality said people feel entitled, and stop wanting equal treatment but special treatment.

Sorry Dezzy but that's BS. The vast majority of people in this world are quiet about their sexuality.

We don't go round all day talking about our sexuality.

It's not the number 1 defining factor of someone's personality and if you genuinely think it is then it's a little scary.

I'll give you an example, I've asked a number of times now what rights exactly do gay people in the UK not have and no-one has answered.

I can only take from that there are not rights that they don't have so why are they constantly screaming gay rights?

You don't feel the need to talk about your sexuality because heterosexuality is universally accepted, no heterosexual person has ever had to fight for equal rights as a heterosexual. The problem here is you can't empathise with circumstances outside of your own.

You think gay people don't need to talk about their sexuality because you don't have to as a heterosexual but the thing is, if an LGBT person stays quiet about the injustices they face then those injustices keep happening. Your discomfort doesn't really matter much when you match it against raising awareness of issues that plague the gay community.

How do you know what my sexuality is?

And for that matter how do you know what I think?

Also what are all these injustices you speak of? I've asked for examples about 10 times now, no-one has given me any.

This takes me back to my college days where an offender from the local jail was on day release on our course.

He screamed human rights at us constantly as if it was applicable only to him.

My point is, we all have rights, if they conflict, work it out, don't gang up, don't harass and work together. If it is not possible, don't drag up old issues, hear each other, draw a line under them and move forward.

But first gay people aren’t experiencing like mass discrimination. The discrimination they are experiencing is bad but I feel the best way to combat it is to have NORMAL gay people show that they are more than their sexuality on tv and other media. It normalises it and makes people more comfortable around them. People like Shane j are alienating the gay community in a way, making them look like attention seekers.

How do you know what discrimination a gay person faces on a regular basis? Unless you're part of the LGBT yourself then you can't really know.

As for the rest of your post, you're basically saying what I mocked in that 'Gay people are okay, just be quiet about it' post. Being gay is only okay if you can pass for normal, being gay is only okay if you don't consider it a massive part of who you are, being gay is only okay if the gays minimise their gayness as to not offend others.

Gay people don't make themselves look like attention seekers for embracing their sexuality, that's just what people who are uncomfortable with gay people being comfortable with who they are think.

Equating criminals with gay people, are we?

I mean, shockingly, the UK is not representative of the entire world, and even the likes of the USA doesn't have equal rights for LGBT people
https://www.ranker.com/list/8-things...an_t-do/cdu827 (a tad outdated given the marriage one)
http://wyomingequality.org/half-of-s...-equal-rights/

Also given Shane J is from Australia, his talk of LGBT rights clearly stems from his upbringing in Australia, which is less progressive than the UK. I don't think he has ever said "UK should have equal rights for LGBT people but not Australia!!!". In fact, I've never heard him specifically mention the UK?
https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/sexual...ghts-australia

The Northern Territory has not yet legislated to allow same-sex couples to adopt.

South Australia is yet to overturn the gay panic defence.

Transgender people are unable to change the sex listed on their birth certificate without medical intervention, except in the ACT and South Australia.

Married transgender people must divorce their partners to transition on official documents.

Men who have had sex with men in the previous 12 months are barred from donating blood.

Religious schools and hospitals are exempted from LGBT anti-discrimination laws in Australia.

Also, just because LGBT people have equal rights (as far as I'm aware) in the UK, doesn't mean that they're exactly equal... they're still subject to discrimination, and Shane J has spoken out about treating LGBT people equally, so it's not as if this concept isn't one Shane J hasn't advocated for

So tl;dr, they're 'constantly screaming' gay rights because in places like Australia and the USA, there are still laws against LGBT people, and in other places gay people can be killed for being gay

The reason I mentioned UK is because he's on a UK show with a UK audience talking about a UK politician.

Not going to change the world love, whatever way you look at it.

You seem intent on shutting down any talks of gay rights.

I don't see how being on a UK show and having a UK audience means that he can't talk about LGBT rights elsewhere...?
As for 'talking about a UK politician', he's saying that she voted against a lot of LGBT laws, which is true. Do I agree with how he tried to turn Amanda against Ann? Not particularly, and yes Ann didn't end up having her way in the end, but I'm pretty sure he recognises that they were all passed, and if he didn't Amanda told him they were

... I don't think Shane J is trying to change the world? He's just bringing up issues and making people realise LGBT people aren't equal in the world
