It's just a colloquialism isn't it?
Why don't they just give everyone a short list of what we can say and have done with it..
The only conversation anyone will have soon will begin 'I'm offended you're offended!' :laugh:

Ah, yes, because being gay means you have a specific "look". Fool.

Exactly so gays need to stop comparing whatever they're facing to race struggles.

I read your post and I agree with the author.
Pink News article about Evander.

Fairly sure that is not at all what the poster you quoted meant

Huh?

Bigotry is bigotry, why are some people hell-bent on making it a competition. "No, this minority had it worse! NOO, THIS ONE DID!" All forms of discrimination are as bad as each other, people who try to make out that homophobia is somehow not as bad as racism are clearly uneducated on the effects it's had on some people.

Actually, how does your post at all relate to what I said? :conf: Unless you're jumping on the fact that I said gay people don't have a "look", and then decided to talk about how racism is worse because people are discriminated against for what they look like? I'm not sure how that makes homophobia somehow less of a problem, both are people being treated differently because of who they are. There was a time when simply being gay could land you in prison, but you're right, that wasn't a big deal.

As for the "look" thing, my point was that some ignorant people still DO think that gay men look and act a certain way.

Also, why is it always suggested that the only people pissed off by supposed-homophobia are "the gays"? "The gays" aren't the only ones who object to homophobic slurs, you know?

I also love how homosexuals are referred to as 'the gays'

letmein 07-01-2014 06:20 PM

I'm gay, and that's nothing compared to what Evander said, a statement which may go down as the most repulsive statement since the Shilpa Shetty incident.

Pete. 07-01-2014 06:20 PM

Thank ****. Dappy showing his true colours and will be evicted yay

That makes absolutely no sense.

Don't even get into a conversation with them, seriously.

I was saying something like this during the last series. They should give them a list of topics not to discuss like not discussing nominations.

I take offence to this. I wasn't created solely to open my legs and pop out kids.

Which would completely defeat the purpose of reality TV, conversation of all sorts come up in real life why should it be stopped on BB?

starry 07-01-2014 06:42 PM

I wonder if the producers are under the wrong impression that a huge percentage of the viewers are gay? Maybe that's why they gave us Dowling as a presenter?

sampvt 07-01-2014 06:43 PM

This years show is weird. As far as I am aware, there are no gay HM,s but all the forum can talk about is gay issues. If gay people took a leaf out of the Asian, coloured and Jewish books and simply looked down on anti,s comments, they would be more than accepted into society, but whilst there are gay people out there magnifying every little thing they disagree with, their lifestyle and ways will always be hard to be integrated.

Many years ago black power and blacks civil rights were all over the place, nowadays we hear very little about racism due to the fact that most of us support coloured people and racists are given a really hard time. I don't condone gay bashing nor racism, in fact I abhor it but if gay people stopped getting so heavy and started laughing at these fools instead. they will always find themselves in a rock or a hard place.

The anti,s need pitying not slandering, that way many will keep their opinions to themselves. I am sorry but a lot of gay people make a rod for their own back. My views may be wrong but they are a personal and non biased opinion that sympathise with what some people have to put up with, and not a dig at gays.
