    I don't want to chop any gays up tho,just maybe get them to pipe down for a while and give us poor breeders some peace.

    I don't see how people raising awareness of discrimination against gay people is annoying though, especially to the extent to want to deny gay people the right to marry.

    According to recent polls the referendum will easily pass,so I don't understand the almost constant barrage of pro-homo propaganda around,tbh.
    An example is this site-type "gay" into the search bar and you'll get 100,000+ hits.Where as if you put "hetrosexual" into it,you'll get barely 1000.

    I've a pain in the hole (pardon the pun) with it and with a bit of luck they'll all ride off into the sunset in a few months when they get hitched.

    Spelling heterosexual correctly might bump up the number of results for you.

    Got to admit after reading a few of these threads, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone can do gay outrage quite like the er, straight dudes.

    By "pro-homo propoganda," do you mean campaigning for and commenting a major referendum to allow gay people the right to marriage for the first time?

    I can understand them wanting to achieve this historic landmark, but couldn't they do it in private, behind closed doors where we don't all have to be aware of their campaigning and reporting of continued discrimination?

    I'm straight, actually. The only time I've ever heard the term "breeders" being used by LGBT people as an insult as a retaliation against a homophobe.

    Seeing as you are an expert, please explain what the insult means.

    Not because of what they do in the bedroom,but because of the fact that you cant turn on the TV,browse the net or even open a fuc*ing paper now without one of them bitching about how society doesn't love them.
    I hope this vote gets passed because the hoors will go into meltdown if it doesn't.

    Sorry if us trying to gain the same rights as you puts in on your day

    Nothing like a gay thread yo get the blood boiling. It was asked a few pages back by a few posters. Why should we be proud of being gay? Its quite simple really. How many lgbt teens commit suicide because they are ashamed to come out? How many lgbt people were told to "man up" (really hate the phrase BTW) before killing themselves?

    We show pride so others can see there is nothing wrong with being gay. We show pride so teens can see it will get better. But most importantly, to me, I show pride because l like our community. I'm proud of it.

    I won't be quiet until we are equal.

    Its less noticeable because gays are the minority in society.

    Personally I've seen a few same sex couples holding hands, shifting on nights out, last summer I even saw two girls lying on Trinity Green eating the face of one another and to me they're all the same as heterosexual couples, just two people who love one another and that's all that matters.

    Well if you're not going to be quiet, at least be armed with the facts.

    Suicide hasn't been a criminal offence since 1993, so the term to 'commit suicide' no longer applies.

    Was the question rhetorical, or do you actually have any figures to hand. I assume you at least are armed with that information if as you say yourself, take suicide seriously.

    Call me cynical, but it pisses me off when people bandy around suicide, soapboxing and pushing their own agenda, or did you think you're the only person who gives a damn?

    I live in Dublin so quite a bit. I know of a few gay couples that live in small villages who are involved in their local community.

    You're cynical. Would you like links to the depressing reality of irish lgbt suicide rates? A simple Google search and you will have all you need.

    Unfortunately its not a complex but what many gay people suffer everyday. Though you wouldn't care about that.

    I'm aware of the statistics already thanks. I don't need google when I have access to a breakdown of the Irish figures first hand, not just for LGBT youth demographics, but across all sections of Irish society.

    As they are perfectly entitled and right to do.
    There's a few of them on here that could do with a few days shovelling some flower beds,mixing with the straights and sprucing up their villages.
    They might change their attitudes then when they realise not everyone wants to chuck them into a mincer.

    Yes, it is, because it allows me to remain objective when someone comes out with ridiculous comments about suicide just to add some measure of validity to their opinion.
