Of course homophobia is still an issue, you'd have to be wilfully ignorant to think it wasn't.

As I said - although it seems to have disappeared for some odd reason - he is an attention-seeker.

Was deleted as it was quoting a deleted post. Deleted post was clearly homophobic, so kind of proving this guys point a bit

Homophobia was never everywhere and it's better now than it ever was .... doesn't mean that there still isn't room for improvement.

They might have got it for just being a bit annoying. Can't have been for their homosexual tendencies!!!

I remember gay men when I was growing up in the 60s, but I never, ever saw any of them dressed like this idiot demanded to be treat as a special case, they just got on with their lives

Ah stop, I bet war hero Alan Turing felt accepted when they fired him and chemically castrated him for being gay

Nothing like a bunch of straight people to lecture us on where homophobia is and isn't!

Do you ever think straight people are sick to the back teeth of groups of people DEMANDING to be treat as a special case due to their sexuality or race ?

Poor straight people, it must be so tiring to hear about inequality and abuses that other people suffer.

What do you want to be equal in that you are not equal in already ?

I'm bisexual, I know what it's like to walk down the street with a woman and how different it is when I do the same with a man. With a woman, I can be physically affectionate without worrying about a thing but with a man I won't even think of holding their hand. With a man I have to constantly be wary of people and how they react and if they might react violently. If I'm in a relationship with a man, I can't talk about it with people like I would if I was in a relationship with a woman because I constantly have to think 'would this person be a threat if they knew I wasn't straight?'

I've lived on both sides and homophobia is definitely a thing, especially when you look at this thread and see straight people denying that homophobia exists.

sometimes its good to get perspective

I get where he is coming from to some extent, but for example on average you aren't gonna see many straight guys buy gay guys Music because yes there is gonna be a stigma behind it with some Homophobic remarks thrown in, but also straight guys tastes and gay guys tastes in Music do tend to be very different when putting them into stereotypical boxes.

Women tend to normally be more comfortable with supporting gay guys in the Music Industry I think.
