but you've got a gif of him :shrug: go figure

And you, the straight guy, are the one to answer that question.

:joker:

Sick of Shane j boring af and patronising and a bit of a twat overall

India is insulting to herself.

Too right I am. I'll answer any question I want and my sexuality wont stop that.

Just look at the amount of intolerance, and pushy and aggressive statements contained in this post.

And you call others 'part of the problem' !

When it comes to resolving social issues, a major part of 'the problem' is intolerant and aggressive attitudes like this.

It's like a brick wall of angry hatred. Solves nothing. Helps nobody.

YES there are some problems and confusion in the mainstream regarding LGBT issues.
YES dialogue is needed in order that people can understand each other better and society can evolve.

But that dialogue is a two-way thing.
It takes time, and it also requires patience and understanding ON BOTH SIDES.

You have to BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE.

You want respect?. You have to give respect.
You want acceptance and understanding from others? You have to BE accepting and understanding toward others.

You want people to hear YOUR side of the story and not attack you for being different?
Well, then you have to do the same for them, right? And not attack them for being different from you.

You can't make your point against intolerance.... by being intolerant yourself!

"Sit your ass down"
"Delete your account" etc etc

Sound tolerant and progressive to you??

:clap1::clap2::clap1:

Yes because you're clearly completely up to date on the LGBT community and what goes on. :thumbs:

Kind of like a white guy claiming racism doesn't exist anymore.

Im sure Alf like myself doesn't give a flying one about the LGBT as they have no part in his life

:clap1: Excellent post. He knows Andrew fancies Courtney rotten and is taking advantage of eviction nights (or situations) when Andrew is drunk and horny. The fact that he (or Coutney) said "I'm playing the long game" speaks volumes.

I think it has a Q on the end, you see, I'm more up to date than you.

Excellent post :clap1::clap1::clap1:

Yes that would be crazy

Especially since statistics show that in 2016-2017 the biggest rise in hate crime was in fact 'anti white'

Bless :pat:

Biggest rise is not biggest overall.

But look at you getting all straight white male on us.

Ann is actually ahead in the tellymix poll but he is running second. I don't know if it will last if he sticks to Andrews side though.

There wasn't actually as much about them last night thank god.

Hang on, you've a picture as your signature????????

:clap2:

I never heard of him or she since BB

What the actual F is this? I presume you're on a wind up?

Shane J a two faced hypocrite UGH :oh: i have been so mistaken by this idiot

Anyway, getting back to adult conversation, what's pissing me off about Shane J is simply his sucking up to Andrew.

He knew Andrew was in the wrong when he went off on his rant at Jonny the other night, you could see it in his face and yet he wouldn't speak up. He's no problem speaking up to anyone else so it's pathetic.

In what world is "having a word" now the same as "having the final word"? :think: You're projecting a bit much and trying to make him out to be something he's not :laugh:

From recent examples I assume you mean the John thing, which is fair enough IMO because what John said - about straight men constantly being on guard around gay men because they think they might be objectified - is absolutely absurd since it's the way how women are treated 24/7 and you've admitted that yourself today:

I didn't think too much of that conversation between John/Shane because it was fair and calm and resolved, and Shane relayed what was said to (I think) Malika in, again, a fair and calm way. The expectation that none of them should ever talk about each other to other housemates behind their backs is just impossible - and when it's an example as inane and harmless as this it's really a non-starter.

The only other example I can recall of 'Courtney bitching' was about Ginuwine in the nominations discussion and... again... Courtney was 100% correct. Ginuwine shouted over everyone and didn't let Wayne speak at all about saving Amanda (only to then let Shane L talk about why Ashley should stay :idc: can't imagine why he allowed that)

I figured the "Courtney the Educator" storyline would begin to grate on some of the British viewers eventually because they don't like being told how to think unless it's by #Sum1British (who's also loud and dated) and the whole "Year of the Woman" frame for the show would inevitably dissipate into the same old tackfest, where Courtney having a discussion about race politics would prompt groans from the audience who just want to watch Jess down a liquified glass of cow brains, but I find it refreshing.

No need for your patronising emojis or 'clues'. They come across like cheap air freshener trying to hide the big verbal turd you just laid.

Let's look at the facts.

You just made the negative statement 'look at you, getting all straight white male on us' when i pointed out the recent rise in anti-white hate crime.

What do you mean 'getting all straight white male'?

Clearly you meant that in a negative way, no doubt about that.
As if being 'straight, white male' is a 'bad thing' somehow in your mind.

So to help you see the bigotry of your own statement, let's flip it around.

Let's imagine you had pointed out a statistic regarding anti-black hate crime.

Then imagine another person responded with:
'look at you, getting all gay black female on us!'

You see the obvious bigotry when it's that way round, right?

It's all negative stereotyping. Not cool.

I'm an equalist.
To me, anti-white, anti-male, anti-straight comments like yours are EQUALLY as objectionable as anti-black, anti-female, and anti-gay comments are by anyone else.

But maybe you are unequal in your logic.
Maybe you think it's ok to be negative about 'straight white males'?
Maybe you think it's ok to stereotype ONE race, ONE gender, ONE sexuality - but not others?

If so then THAT, my patronising friend, is what we call bigotry:
Racist, sexist and anti-straight bigotry.

My advice?:

Aim for ACTUAL equality and intellectual consistency on these subjects or you are no better than the racists of this world.
