    Very Victorian really considering you seem to think Lesbians and Bi Women and Trans people don't exist. Bizarre.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Equality isnt about being the same. I am a gay man. I am different. That does not mean I am not equal.


    But you aren't different.

    You're just like everyone else, trying their best day in and day out.

    If you want to label yourself and cry victim. That's your problem.

    Fair enough. You are entitled to that opinion. I really don't understand why you think homosexuality and heterosexuality are the same thing when they are clearly different. The human race has many differences. It is bizarre to me people want to deny that.

    There are many differences for sure, but your sexuality or your religion or your colour does not make you special. You are no different to anyone else, despite what your sexual preferences or how persecuted you may feel.

    Nobody is denying anything.

    I sleep beside a woman at night and you sleep beside a man.

    We still have to wake up, go to work and pay the billls.

    No difference.

    What's bizarre is the need to constantly feel like you're a victim. You're not. You like men, so do I. You like anal, I might if I ever tried it.
    You're not different. You're not special. Nobody cafes who you're banging. Unless it's someone's husband cause then someone might care but day to day, it's nothing.

    No. It is quite bizarre that you want to deny any difference at all. And please drop the patronising crap telling me how I feel.

    All gay men 'like anal'?

    Right ok. You have no argument so you resort to personal attacks.

    :rolleyes:

    I'm also feeling triggered. Could you please stop patronising me by implying "I want to deny" things I haven't actually said? I'd appreciate it if you could actually address what I type and not what you feel I type, although I do recognise your feelings are important.

    Ultimately we're all different, so what's the point in even saying it?

    Unless you define yourself by your sexuality, rather than saying it's just an aspect of your personality. And if that is the case I think you might want to consider broadening your scope .

    You are denying difference. There really is no argument there. I'm not engaging on the personal attacks anymore so don't bother with that.

    It must be hard living a life where one feels they're so persecuted by personal attacks by people holding an opinion that we humans aren't all that different no matter what we like in bed. That sounds like more of a hindrance than sexuality

    You are denying acceptance, by creating your own reality.

    What is bizarre is your notion that just because someone is gay they automatically "like anal", or that nobody cares about who "youre banging".

    Honestly,theres more to being gay than sex. For your information a survey was carried out some years ago and it showed that 62% of gay men do "not" engage in anal intercourse, yet 51% of heterosexual couples did.

    Funny that!

    It's part of the victim culture piled on top of people these days.

    If you're gay, nothing is ever your fault, it's those evil heterosexual people keeping you down.

    If you're a woman, nothing is ever your fault, it's that evil patriarchy and that wage gap keeping you down.

    If you're working class, it's those evil rich people keeping us down. No water charges! GIVE US A POUND JOE! Get Comrade Boyd Barrett on the phone.

    This is one of my fundamental disagreements with the alt-right. A lot of these group and racial conflicts come from the great Socialist power struggle of own group over another, pushed by the postmodern and neo marxist theory, leading to many a lad walking around with a massive chip on their shoulder. You're born in Ireland. A lot of flaws with the place but its a grand old spot all this considered.

    This typically comes from the arts and media in my opinion.

    No Accronym should be more than 4 letters long. Or if any longer should at least form a word.
