I have not been a member here and have seen a few seriously vitriolic homophobic posters come and go but xXEtchieXx probably represents a large proportion of males in this country. I am not saying all but a fair few.
There are many who do not want to admit to their feelings about homosexual men because if they do they fear they will be ostracized and this is exactly what has happened here to a certain extent. There are probably woman who feel the same way about lesbians too if the truth be told but the truth is not told is it?
The younger generation will talk about this more as you have pointed out but the older ones will not. This is an excellent thread and the more this is discussed the more intolerance is wiped out.
Well done everyone who has contributed.
