Moon Moon Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I couldn't make it past the second page. Christ, homosexuality being compared to birth defects... What a horrible bunch of cunts there used to be on here. Glad the majority have been replaced by a lovely bunch of cunts. like me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yikes, even the posts pandering slightly to some of the outright hate in there are a bit close to the bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I always had stripey down as an argumentative twat but a level headed one. He trotted out the 'you dont see straight pride parades' line. Wow. Now he's just a twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 It wouldnt surprise me if he was just trolling, very few of his posts outwith his posts about his own music, were not trolling posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think he had a beef with any kind of overt display of sexuality. I don't recognise many names in here, and those that I do would probably have still been in school at the time. Still, grim few pages that I read.

ca_gere Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Re-reading most of that just made me very sad. I'm annoyed about most of my posts as well. I have to say I was a little surprised by some of your responses (no offence). Mainly just the fact you seemed to agree that there was a 'fad' aspect to homosexuality - which was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place. It seems a lot of people misunderstood the fact that relaxing attitudes and gay culture becoming more mainstream simply meant that they would come into contact with homosexuality more than they used to, rather than it being some sort of weird and sinister infiltration of gays into society. Frosty killed it in this thread though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 As much as I'd like to think not, you're probably right. Then again, I was going through my gay phase back then. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a lot of people misunderstood the fact that relaxing attitudes and gay culture becoming more mainstream simply meant that they would come into contact with homosexuality more than they used to, rather than it being some sort of weird and sinister infiltration of gays into society. Frosty killed it in this thread though. I was pretty surprised by my attitudes too. But then, ten years and a research degree where I read a lot of gender and sexuality based critical theory will make me a bit wiser that I was when I was 18 and just out to the world. I'm mostly upset by my (fairly obvious) attempt to distance myself from the more 'overt' and/or 'camp' gay type. Like Old Gold says, it's embarrassingly placating. As to the 'fad' aspect, what a load of horseshit. Sure, artists and musicians can jump on the bandwagon and be 'allies' (an awful word that leads to a lot of groaning when said in the presence of lgbt people due to the over-use and misapplication of the word) for gay rights and in general it's not a terrible thing at all. I'm not sure if the initial poster maybe didn't get the distinction between that and someone like Katy Perry's use of female sexuality for self-promotional purposes. In any event, what they said didn't make a lot of sense and seemed to confuse sexual orientation and gender presentation at points. Plus, who says sexuality has to be a hard and fast thing? I identify as a lesbian because I don't experience sexual or romantic attraction to men, but there are people who might think 'sure, lesbian' but then come to realise that their sexuality is more fluid than that. I think I'm going off on a tangent here, but in short, sexual orientation isn't a 'lifestyle choice' which is what describing it as a 'fad' essentially boils down to. If you think it is then you're a fucking moron. Also, the amount of times I read the sentence "I'm not a homophobe, I've got gay mates, BUT..." made me see red. No sentence that starts that way is going to end in anything other than you making a remark that is, drumroll please, homophobic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
