I find it quite disturbing,so usually i just sit back and read,but Im surprised it isnt as policed as racism.
Maybe its just acceptable in the media and half these kids think its ok
as it was said on BBBM and various other media outlets,Chris moyles can make homophobic comments on his radio show and nothing is said about it,yet Emily who makes a racially unacceptable word (yet not in a hatefull contest) and gets punished harshly (in T.V standards)
But i must give kudos to alot of the mods (specially red moon) who seem quick of the mark to check it om here,but Im surprised it even happens

I think to say it is rampant is a little unfair, when you look at the actual size of the membership you will find that it is actually a small minority who are actually out and out homophobic.
Some posters are thoughtless and that comes from lack of life experience or life skills. Some people have very limited communication skills which shines through in posts.
I know if I see anything that looks homophobic I take immediate action, but sometimes debate about these issues is healthy, it allows people to be educated through debate.
Also at the bottom end we have some mean, nasty members who are going to do and say anything to get a rise and they are the ones we all need to look out for really.
I agree with what you say about Chris Moyles ( I love him) he does get away with making many homophobic comments, but they are usually made to Aled who has accepted them as part of his role in the show which is a shame really, I would love to hear him stick up to Moyles and let rip!!
