Many Islamic values, IMO, are gross, often sexist and homophobic. I've said this before.

As I've said before, you seem obsessed with trying to stir up hatred toward certain ethnicities, it's extremely disconcerting.

There's no talking to you critical thinkers.

Well obviously that's horrific vandalism. I don't think anyone cares whether you get bent out of shape over this particular incident, it's the continuous mention of Muslim people even when it's an unrelated topic. We don't know who did this, so why bring it up? You seem hell bent on stirring up racial hatred and sorry but it's ****ing gross.

Is there no chance that this bench was vandalised by people from a culture who think gays should be dead? It's much more comfortable for you to imagine it was a big old white homophobe who's responsible.

An... Interesting perspective from whoever said that to you.

Imagine being so desperate to twist everything into your culture war bingo card that you can’t just call out bigotry without adding some weird whataboutism.

It is homophobic to vandalize a Pride symbol, even though in this instant Pride isn’t part of it, just low intelligence, no matter who does it or what religion they follow. It doesn’t magically become acceptable because of any other cause. You don’t have to invent these bizarre double standards—just say it’s hateful and pathetic, full stop.

Erm, you and your fellow LGBTQ rainbow worshippersare claiming this is an attack on LGBTQ, just cause a rainbow got painted over...No proof whatsoever as to why it was painted over...never miss a chance to make it all about them.

"Rainbow bench that had nothing to do with Pride painted black by vandals"

https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/new...inted-10316026

so the whole thread premise is wrong and is based on a false accusation

can the poster alter the title?

It is only a moron would think it wasn’t. A homophobic moron with zero critical thinking thought this was a pride bench.

[bots]

with the thousands of benches that get vandalised every week, how do we precisley pick out an instance of bigotry? Do you not think that is a bit of a stretch?

People do these things because they think its funny and cool. If they wanted to be a bigot they could do it in much more fruitful ways

The bench looks better black and i am quite sure more people will sit there to "chat" than in its current activist state

Most people with critical thinking skills and a shred of emotional intelligence wouldn't be put off sitting on a bench because of... a rainbow.

Fair enough, but...

When you have the ability to know what will motivate "more people" to sit and "chat" I am sure that you can make that proclamation.

is not the same as

" i am quite sure more people will sit there to "chat" than in its current activist state"

For a start I don't insult people with my post unlike you do and secondly, I state its my opinion where as you make out it is the accepted opinion


I prefer my approach, perhaps on reflection you will too..

Livia didn't say or infer it must have been a muslim. Just that it was a possibility. She's so absolutely not showing any racially motivated hatred whatsoever, it's not in her nature. I know her very well.

Both her and Cherie went directly in with "this is what happens when we import boatloads of people" and "we tend not to throw people off buildings for being gay in this country". It was literally their first response to this article which mentions race or religion zero times.

Why mention it? Of course it's a possibility. But it's also a possibility it's someone who is Catholic. Or Buddhist. Or an Atheist. Why mention just that one possibility?

When was the last time a catholic hanged a gay from a crane just for being gay?

Is this a story about someone being hanged from a crane or was it a story about a rainbow being painted over?

What a bizarre reply. I'm not having this conversation with you anymore, you're not even considering the context which surrounds this discussion.

You're a critical thinker, you try and work out the connection.

[Kate!]

Well it is a very strong possibility to be fair. That it could have been a muslim I mean.

Not surprising at all to see it being dismissed

Eh? It is wrong though. You made a big deal of saying its nothing to do with pride? Now you're insisting it was homophobic when it may or may not have been. Unless you can read minds now. You've destroyed your own argument.
