    Why don't we just ask the OP ?


    Hey Kneemos, are you an Arthur or a Martha ?

    Really fond of a penis.


























    My own though.

    Over here, you get a slap for being obviously gay in front of the wrong people - of which there are very few now. Over there, you're executed more or less on the spot by the nearest hundred or so savages.

    Nobody is saying that gay people are worse off here than say in Uganda.

    But saying that you "get a slap" as if that's all that happens is downplaying what can and does happen.

    Look at those two gay girls in Limerick who were beaten by guys recently. One of them was knocked unconscious. Is that the sort of thing that people should downplay?

    That's a well put post baby jane, but unfortunately *anybody* who questions this whole uprise in gay popularity, or who professes that they're uncomfortable with homosexuality, instantly becomes lynched. The tables have well-and-truly turned. I know of a fella who got beat up because he didn't vote for David Norris to become president! WTF like? By straight people too. And he didn't vote for him because he preferred Martin McGuinness. No other reason!


    Look up the scene in Perriers Bounty where Brendan Gleeson finds out one of his men is gay. There's a lot of that going on, especially on boards!


    Where are these posts? There's always posts bemoaning these lynchings, but never referencing actual posts.

    How many non homosexuals were assaulted over the weekend?

    I hope I see the day in my lifetime that gay couples can hold hands and show affection in public and it not be a big deal.

    That day will inevitably come but I'd guess we're at the very least one generation away.

    Loads. For a variety of reasons. I went out and assaulted a few myself just to keep the numbers up. Wouldn't want them gays to get more assaults than the straights would we? I hoe you're keeping up your quota too.

    Let's keep the straight bashing going guys! Come on! WE CAN DO THIS!

    :rolleyes:

















    You seem immune to logic so I'm trying extreme sarcasm. Would it help you to know that I'm imagining all your posts being read aloud by an extremely camp man with a highly effeminate voice?

    We should definitely have a gingers rights march.

    I would agree with that,partially from an equality standpoint,but really more as a way to finally cancel those daft pride parades:pac:

    "Get a slap" was a poor choice of words, ill admit. I meant beaten up, though Its culchie talk for everything from a plain slap to being knocked down by a car :o
    Tbh I'm still not sure what to make of EFB comparison to the plight black people came from. To the best of my knowledge, gays werent systematically rounded up like animals and brutally run into the ground (quite literally) as slaves, owned as disposal objects, used as human sheilds in conflicts, denied even the most basic of human rights from the moment Whitey discovered them to about 60 years ago..

    For someone to hide their sexuality isn't fair, but it's at least an option. For someone to hid their skin colour, rather wasn't.

    Bless. You're trying so hard but you're just not that good at it.

    Thanks for playing though.




    By the way - International Men's Day is Nov 19th? I'm sure you were wondering.

    As a homosexual man, I am also getting bored of these threads about gay people. But, anyway, I'm personally very selective about where I'm willing to display my affection to another man. It's really pretty much limited to at home and in night clubs. At the risk of generalizing, I find younger people, the type that would be in a nightclub, would pretty much unanimously support gay rights. Whereas older people, who may have been brought up to think gay people are bad, are unlikely to be in a nightclub. I'm not saying all older people disagree with gay rights, I'm not even saying the majority of them do, but with older people, there's definitely a much larger chance of being ridiculed, and I feel with younger people, that chance is virtually non-existent. Although that said, my public displays of affection would be quite minimal, there's nothing worse than 2 people in a nightclub pretty much acting out a softcore porno right in public.

    Fcuking hell man, what did I ever do to you? :pac:

    It was saying would you have an issue if they refused a black couple?


    Ard you saying yes- because they suffered more?

    I made no reference to to the relative hardship endured

    Go for it. See if you garner any support. I have some gingers in my family, perhaps I can add this to the extensive list of minority interest marches I regularly attend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,113 ✭✭✭shruikan2553


    Out of all the threads about gay people this is the weirdest. Some people are really struggling with the idea that people can be targeted because they are part of a group.

    Those farmers in Zimbabwe werent having their land taken away from them for being white either Im sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Fcuking hell man, what did I ever do to you? :pac:

    I feel bad. I watched the video.

    I f*cking hate that little sh*t.

    So f*cking much.


    :mad:




    I apologise.

    Conchita Wurst's beard is too well kept. I'm a Panti man myself. *wink*

    Fair play. What about the people who got beat up due to wearing the wrong football jersey?

    Will we have a Liverpool fans rights march too?

    Yes, Liverpool fans have experienced the same discrimination gay people have down through the years.
    They should have a march.

    (This stuff is incredible - anyone else find this stuff incredible? It's actually someone getting upset that prejudice against gay people is being acknowledged. Comedy gold that you could not make up).

    Here's a whole thread full of them. The first post complains about inappropriate sexualised behaviour on a kids show. The person doing the offending was gay. A litany of posts follow, supporting this mans behaviour, purely because he was gay. To Boards.ie's credit, note the amount of red cards handed out for calling the OP a homophobe. See for yourself:

    They dont seem to understand that most people view attacking others as bad.

    Again, if you can find a group of Liverpool fans who feel they have been targeted unfairly throughout life, then by all means call their plight to the public's attention.

    The OP just happens to be you, a person with hardly the most positive posting history when it comes to people you view as not normal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    They dont seem to understand that most people view attacking others as bad.

    "We can't do anything about attacks on gay people until all the attacks on straight people have been sorted out, ok?

    It's obvious.

    Also there's the economy and that whole ISIS thing that's going on.

    So as soon as that's all sorted we'll come back to your little gay problems and sort out that one guy who once pushed a gay person in 2007 and tell him he's a bold boy.

    Will that keep all you little gay people happy?

    Sheeeeshhh! Some people wha?

    Bunch of queers!"

    And they were all carded. What's the problem?

    If the behaviour being complained in thread isn't happening in that thread, quit moaning about it.

    But the relative hardship endured will stick to absolutely anything done negatively towards either party. So discrimination against a black person will carry far darker implications than discrimination against a gay person wether anyone wants it to or not. I wouldn't have a problem with it, for the same reason I wouldn't have a problem with a company refusing gays. There's easily another load of companies doing the same thing, that will serve either so go there. Its the other companies loss. Ive been refused things before. Tv3 didn't need to hear about it, I still got what I wanted the same day.

    Were you refused because of your race or sexuality or just because a shop was closed or you didn't have money?

    There's, like, y'know, a difference and stuff.
