Is gay the future?

[conny]

But its called 'General Discussion' for a reason.
Its where we 'discuss' items of interest. If we all agreed it would soon die the death. It also performs the function of actually changing peoples views on occasions.

You do realise you can have a 'discussion' without being offensive and bigoted? I have discussions every day in real life and on other forums and i don't see people showing such bigotry just because we're discussing an item of interest.

Take this for example..

"While I appreciate that some people are genuinely homosexual...it does seem somehow to now be the latest fashion"

How the hell is it a 'fashion' to be gay? You don't wake up one day and think "hmmm, i might turn gay today".

I wouldn't say the majority of us are phobic about any of these. We are just sick of TV programmes playing the 'minority' card with these groups. Think back to the 70's, alright, I know looking back they look corny but at the time we thought they were good programmes and they weren't emphasising these groups most of the time. They were/are just nice entertaining programmes that people could sit and watch.

Just stick to repeats of Last of the Summer Wine and you will be ok


I think you are a latent homosexual who is disgusted with himself for his tendencies which explains your over reaction to something that is actually just a part of society all over the world.

Those of us who are comfortable with who we are don't give a f##k

You can try and justify homosexuality with whatever loony-left, freedom hating rhetoric you like, but at the end of the day it matters not one bit. Becasue God despises homosexuality. He despises it. We all have to answer to God, so why spend your entire life offending him?

There may be bits of the Bible I've missed but doesn't it say that God created everything which therefore must include gays? Also I've not read any mention of God having a wife although he did have an unmarried son who hung around with 12 blokes.

And another thing , there are passages refering to the evils of wealth, Jesus throwing the money lenders out of the temple , the meek inheriting the earth and it being easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven for example-
I reckon this God of ours is a socailist , or better still a communist at heart

I wonder which god trollmaster2000 worships, if any?

Could it be the one with the pink triangles and the yellow stars?

...he says he has grandchildren and they would have been arrested when he was a kid. OK, based on this statement I am presuming they are possibly at least in their early teens. This would put Ian in his late 50's early 60's if he had his children when he was around 20 and they had theirs at the same age. Forty years ago homosexuality was still a taboo subject frowned upon by society and punished by the authorities if 'openly displayed ' in public. Just 'looking' gay would make you the object of ridicule and harassment and I think this is what he is trying to convey.

No, I still think you must be wrong, because he said they would have been "arrested". He didn't say "criticised". So he must mean that his grandchildren perform sexual acts with other people of the same sex.

He must mean they are boys, not girls, as Lesbianism has never been a criminal act in England or Wales.

And (if English or Welsh) he must mean they do it in public, because sexual acts between two adult males, with no other people present, were made legal in England and Wales in 1967.

I suppose another possibility is that what he said was not true.

Only person who can truthfully answer this is Ian himself.

Yeah, ok.

I've come over all queer...(rhymes with a cold carbonated alcoholic drink)

Anyone fancy a snog?

At some stage in the next 20 years the gay gene will be isolated.

That would be a neat trick if you could do it. Given that homosexuals can't reproduce easily, you don't have to be Darwin to see that a 'gay gene' would be an evolutionary dead end.

It doesn't work that way. We humans use sex for rather more than mere reproduction and we are all born potentially bisexual. We might be genetically predisposed towards heterosexual relationships but both options are open and which one we choose is, I suspect, determined as much by nurture as by nature. It's also worth noting that, when denied any chance of love, we heteros can, and sometimes do, fall back on our alternative option.

If that's the case why do so many gayboys seem incapapable of speaking without a lisp?

Have you witnessed that?

 

[sooey]

Haven't you?

Then explain why gay men have large penises than hetro men. What kind of 'nurture' gives them a bigger tool? Why is it that you can often spot a gay man just with a glance? No need to walk or talk - you just KNOW that they are gay.

All humans are bisexual anyway - but none are 100% straight and none 100% gay - and neither are any 50/50 - we all have a bias one way or another.
I think you need to research your subject.

would you put any part of your anatomy in a waste disposal unit?
I think not, it's not natural.

You'd better tell that to the heterosexuals then because statistically they do it far, far more often.

Well I can't tell. I know that because, on at least two occasions, I've only found out that somebody was 'gay' after I'd met him. (Sorry but I can't quite bring myself to use that word. In my young day it was a term of abuse. )

But that's not to say that you can't tell. You might, for example, be picking up a sign that he fancies you - which is something I can only do with women.
