It's more brining awareness to this issue, which is a good thing

Take a glance through tibb since the series started and have a proper think about whether homosexual and transexual people are seen as equal by a group of big brother forum members.

So do ginger kids and disabled children and kids with glasses ,wheres your pity for them ?

Honestly if we were having this discussion about race then half the people In here would be banned but homophobia is still accepted in society it's weird

I understand bringing awareness to something and I get it

But I just don’t get why that should equate to letting sexuality define you, as it does with people like Shane j

I was never made to feel I was in "constant repression". Being straight is seen as normal because almost everyone is straight, and most boys and girls have interests which match their gender. Some girls like boy things, some boys like girl things. It's not seen as much of a big deal these days, just like being LGBT isn't.

When I came out, nothing changed apart from the gender which people said I might break the hearts of, or make a great partner for.

That is a valid point and I suppose I can see that but the topic of discussion seems to have drifted away from that to more extreme views that should not be accepted or defended

It is the way it is being done

Why do you keep assuming that anybody who acknowledges the mere existence of homophobia can't possibly care about other issues too? It's a bizarre reach.

I believe if it's not violent or purposefully offensive it's fine

It’s crazy isn’t it! Racism is still equally as bad a problem. Usually with the same people. But homophobia isn’t taken as seriously by the general population

'Pitying' one group doesn't mean there's no pity for other groups you ****ing nutjob. Get a life.

Have your say but then move on because if you shove it down the same persons throat they will hate it more

Nothing like a straight person telling gay people that discrimination against the LGBT doesn't exist.

You know nothing of what we face or have dealt with, don't ever pretend to.

um no lol

go look up any civil rights movement. that's not how it works.

have any of you taken a history class before?

Ik this discussion has gone elsewhere but just look at his vt

Instead of hey I’m Shane Jenek I’m from x and this is my journey and triumphs in life it’s just labels labels labels labels

Idgi is it to compensate for lack of personality, and I’d forgive it if he was like a nice person

So so many posts in here that are at the very least borderline rulebreaks. I get that this is an emotive topic but there is no need for insults and such. Nor is homophobia tolerated on here. Will have a look though this properly tomorrow when I am less medicated.
