Yeah I was being serious.

Perhaps it's good if you feel a little excluded from things? It might help you understand a little how it might feel if you were gay and feeling a little excluded from 'straight' things much of the time because if you took part you wouldn't be able to be yourself as much as you'd like. The reason it doesn't work the other way round is because the straight people are the majority and not subject so discrimination.

This is obvious, formal, organised discrimination against straight people though. There's no such discrimination against gays.

I find it kind of amusing that same man who, until mods forced him to give it up, had an avatar of two people having sex, is now claiming that people shouldn't have to be exposed to, shock and horror, two men kissing.

I wonder what Bodna would be saying about two women kissing.

I think you're getting confused with avatars...

Two women kissing? It looks ugly, some people might like it but they can go to a lesbian club or whatever and see it there. Especially if they are attractive - a waste of good genes.

The thing with Britain at the moment, it's trendy to be bisexual.

I am not a bigot. I don't care what sexuality someone is.

But sexuality, rather like religion and politics, is something you don't (in real life) shove in the faces of those who aren't interested.

I know you honestly believe that but you are wrong.

Unfortunately there is still a lot of predjudice in the world and events like this are still necessary to raise awareness and with everything you've said in this thread you've shown why that is. If someone reasonably educated and intelligent like you who lives in a liberal society like this one can still be as ignorant about an issue like this then what hope is there of attitudes changing.

No, he did say that. I read it with my own eyes. I'm not sure what you're driving at here.

And Spinky--how, exactly, are people's sexuality being "shoved in your face"? By having a "Gay Week"? Do they actually do anything different than what straight people do 365 days a year? Get a grip, man.

Are you operating on a higher plain of consciousness than I am or something? Because I'm still not understanding what you're saying. Spinky most certainly did say "That must never happen" in the other currently-popular "gay" thread.

I'm really confused...

Here it is from the other thread:

In response to the following comment...
homosexual couples are able to conceive their own children without direct intercourse with someone of the opposite gender.

Stewie responded

That must never happen.


Sure sounds like a bigot to me...

Now we are getting somewhere. Go look at what I quoted again in order to see why I said that Dookie never posted what Ming said.

Ming: Stewie responded

With disbelief that a homosexual couple could concieve a child without direct intervention in one form or another from a person of the opposite sex.

BTW while we are talking about bigoted speech, Mr. Fun would like to talk to you about a percieved epithet I used in another thread.

That's funny 'cause what he's been saying in this thread reminds me a lot of some of the things that I hear from more conservative Republicans there.

I don't think that opposition to creating an embryo from two males is neccesarily bigotted... from what I've read of Boddies stance on cloning etc. in the past I think that he'd probably oppose it no matter what sex the parents which is reasonable even if I don't agree but I might be misrepresenting him.
