It's like saying the term yankee refers to a particular type of American. It doesn't, it refers to an American in general. Last edited by Marsh.; 15-05-2012 at 02:58 PM. |

That's not the point though. The point is I couldn't then use the word "yankee" and say it's an insult I'm directing at an American person for doing something I don't like or agree with. As you said, it refers to a specific person in a specific area of the country. Same goes for "redneck".

Oh ffs why dont you both just ****!
For the bazzilionth time my intention wasnt to discriminate against any kind of minority or community but theres allways the pc crew who have to correct and turn an important issue into something completley off topic. We all agree that this video deserves acknowledgment so we can all as human being have equal rights (apart from InOne who doesnt seem to care so why he/she came into the thread is beyond me). And in regards to The Queen comment i would call her a redneck as its a phrase i use in everyday life. Thats all im saying on that matter now coz its getting petty and taking away the importance of the video as a message. So like i said share the video on Twitter/facebook ect to show your support.

Calm down, love. It's not about being PC. It's about you taking a word and acting as though it means whatever you want it to mean when it doesn't. Your answer to my question about the Queen shows you haven't a clue what the word actually means anyway. But by all means carry on with your "Woe for the gays" when it's been pointed out that the same may have very well happened with a heterosexual couple too.

Words change throughout time ie: Gay going from happy to homosexual. This is how i would describe this guys parents as Bigots who wouldnt accept their son was gay and discriminated against his boyfriend by threatening him with violence, refusing him to see the body and not allowing him to attend the funeral. Like i said in a previous post im not playing the gay card and believe all of us as human deserve the same rights. There you go "Love". Last edited by daniel-lewis-1985; 15-05-2012 at 05:14 PM. |

If you dont agree that this video needs to be spread to get a message accross about long term partners having rights then thats your issue but i think the video has a very strong message which will make people stand up and think. Resorting to just chatting about the background music in the edit is just pathetic. Last edited by daniel-lewis-1985; 15-05-2012 at 05:20 PM. |

And the "music" was an apt comment I think. Who, in whatever emotional mindset, creates a youtube video like that complete with sad music trying to get attention. It baffles me. |

he wasn't mocking you. He honestly wants you to understand his point of view. Please don't use words like homophobia when they are not appropriate. i know what homophobia is and looks like, he is not being homophobic.
Using the word homophobic when it's not appropriate degrades the word and degrades the struggle.

Im making the point that the parents are bigots/homophobic because they didnt accept their son being gay, stopped his bf going to the funeral and threatened him with physical violence. You dont realise that redneck can also mean bigot or someone who doesnt agree with modern views on such subjects so im correct in saying that yet constantly kept getting message after message telling me im wrong lol. This is not what the thread was supposed to be about so i reckon we should all just move on and stick to the real issue. |

this thread is a bout a specific video, let's stick to this video. you cannot make any generalizations about anyone based on this 1 video. Losing a partner is tragic,m but this person does not speak for me as a gay man any more than he speaks for all white people as he is white.
We all mourn the loss of Tom.

You claimed to make this thread in support of gay equality, i havn't heard anyone here disagree with that principle.
