    I wish to publicly apologies to Bannashide for being so crude in my earlier comments and to the forum in general for same, and for ignoring the mod warnings. I will just say my comments were not meant to be insulting to anyone, but to try and give a more realistic impression of the nature of the Stonewall bar. I accept I could have could have used more moderate language to make this point.

    I feel that I have gone off on a tangent to the main point concerning the comments of Israel Folau for which I totally agree are completely out of order and fully agree with Bannashide's and other's assessments of the issue. I say this as I wouldn't want anyone to infer from anything I said that I was in any way defending him. Far from it.

    I think I made my points and again so as not to take this thread off topic I will desist from going further with my gripe here. I many very well do so in a more appropriate thread/forum in the future.

    On behalf of the forum I accept your apologies. There is no need to apologise to me personally but I do appreciate it. It's not often someone apologises publically to a mod.

    You are welcome to start a thread on what you perceive as revisionism - it could make for a lively and interesting discussion.

    I do friendly warn you that in this forum we expect that people provide sources to back up their arguments - and for your own sake I would make sure they are solid sources lest you attract the attention of the Credible Hulks - you wouldn't like them when they are angry. :p

    The Polish government has been busy fanning the flames of anti-LGBT hatred and has recently introduced the idea of "LGBT-free" towns and areas around the country.

    Fermoy - to its eternal credit - is having none of this:

    To be fair, Russia is not really communist for many years, since the collapse of the USSR and possibly before that. Putin is a hard core christian creationist. The EOC has massive political influence. Its more a christian capitalist country if its anything nowadays.
