I never said some heterosexuals don't struggle, but come on, it's comparatively less compared to other orientations.

And hang on a minute...that's completely untrue. Perhaps if you paid any attention to a lot of my posts in serious topics on here you'd notice that I quite often defend the most vulnerable in society, those who face a lot of struggles with issues that have nothing to do with sexuality. I'm a big supporter of minority rights, stick up for those most demonised and at the very bottom of the social scale. Don't try and make out because I've spoken about struggles that perhaps I or other people have faced that that's all I go on about, when I quite clearly do not. Struggling is struggling. It's not a competition, all cases are as bad as each other and require equal levels of compassion.



Exactly. Thank you.

Jesus made a good point the other day when he said that as a straight man he sometimes forgets how easy it can be to be heterosexual and how it isn't possible for him to understand the struggles people who aren't heterosexual go through and so he remains accepting and respectful. I think it was along those lines anyway, hopefully he won't mind me quoting it.

It's not to say they haven't ever received abuse, I'm sure there's some cases in the world, but let's not delude ourselves here, compared to most other orientations they have it and have always had it relatively easy.

I couldn't resist laughing at Jesus being tolerant of sexual minorities.

One sexuality does not have the monopoly on emotional trauma.
Jack began this crusade as he was offended by a comment made, has battled on all day and is now making more unwarranted comments trying to prove a point on a subject that ultimately he has no knowledge of.

Well yeah that's right. Obviously most people go through weird sexual phases in their life and may be unsure/confused about who they are, but surely you have to admit that people who aren't straight have it ten-fold?
