    and all of those other reasons also apply to me. You'e just continually doubling down. Its quite pathetic.

    Jesus Christ, it's like talking to the wall.

    Go wallow in your victimhood if that's what floats your boat.

    I won't be agreeing with you, joining you or cheering you on. I just don't believe you have it all that bad to be perfectly honest. I also won't be abusing you or oppressing you.

    You call that whatever you the hell you want to!

    I call it homophobia. YMMV

    if you are back to your hero tommy it wasn't just tommy that assaulted milkshake guy. Tommys goons had a go as well.

    My hero Tommy?? I was more thinking about Farage and the aussie senator... but ok.

    Genuine question for the LGBT community.

    Do you think this is appropriate for kids to be attending

    https://twitter.com/HaramHussy/status/1139266250251669504

    I wouldn't want kids at a straight event that had men and women in S&M gear either, this is not homophobia, but these events seem to get away with it more - just look at the Amazing Desmond in the USA, 11yr old boy in drag being clapped as he dances like a stripper, imagine if it were an 11 year old girl ???

    These events are just an excuse for degeneracy. And to make it even more farcical it's been hijacked by 'the man' who they believe is their oppressors.

    I know a young lad who went touring the USA last summer and told me of his delight that he'd just about get to the pride event in San Francisco, as he had been the previous year. 'Jesus I didn't realise you were gay' says I. Oh quite the opposite I was told. An excuse for promiscuity and degeneracy for both straight and 'queer' folk.

    All put on in broad daylight in front of the general public, including young kids. Some of whom are even carried to these events by what I can only assume are even more deranged parents.

    Anyway. I'm just going to sit here and await my infraction. For calling a spade a spade.

    ^^ Exactly, and people will probably still accuse me of being homophobic, I voted yes in 2015, was delighted with the outcome - from a pure human rights and equality point of view it was a great result.
    But these kind of things piss me off, There was adds in Toronto or Montreal metro a few months back depicting 2 men having sex, it was cartoon drawings but you could tell .... edit found them ...
    https://www.citizengo.org/en-ca/fm/156112-obscene-advertisements-toronto-subways-must-be-removed
    The graphic same-sex images displayed in Toronto's subway system are shocking and repulsive. Children should not be exposed to such images and they should be removed immediately.

    The advertisements, sponsored by the Gay Men's Sexual Health Alliance encourage homosexual couples to have "the sex they want," even if they or their partners already have HIV. The shocking images depict homosexual threesomes and bondage harnesses, in full view of children who take the Toronto subway's busiest line every day.


    I'm sorry but ..... WTAF!!!
    At least they were removed.

    Like I said I wouldn't want the same adds with a man and woman depicted having BDSM sex.

    I've a sneaking suspicion you call a lot of things homophobia.

    You can call a dog a cat, it doesn't make it one however.

    I don't think you'll get an infraction for sharing the truth and exposure of this stagnant pondlife....

    It seems to be a free for all so i dont think they have much to worry about either.

    Can you explain why vaguely pornographic homosexual BDSM imagery is considered acceptable viewing for the general public, including children, at many of these celebrations?

    The first time you're completely wrong, you're not any less wrong than the next time.

    Good luck with the victimhood - I'm out!

    Indeed. Which isn't to say they can pull away just fine without it.

    I'm sure their parents know how they will react better than you.

    You're engaging in a load of blather and hand-waving like a jet fighter firing chaff, and I couldn't be bothered my arse. Suffice it to say, my own view is that exposing children to such carry-on is a vastly more punchable offence than the one discussed earlier in this thread. I bid you good day.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭EICVD


    No why would I bother when none of that concerns me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,860 ✭✭✭Ragnar Lothbrok


    I am one of those who has questioned the reasons for continued Pride events (without being too concerned about it).

    However, I heard an excellent point on Matt Cooper's radio show last night in relation to the obnoxious comments made by that priest in Kilkenny. The person on the show said that if anyone questioned the reason for continued Pride events, the priest in Kilkenny was the perfect example of why these events are still needed.

    So from now on, my attitude will be "Good luck and enjoy yourselves" to anyone who's taking part, and hopefully we will eventually reach the stage where a "Gay Pride" parade will be as unnecessary as a "Straight Pride" parade.

    good luck with the homophobia.

    Oh give over!!!
    You just love being the victim don't you ?

    Ha. Diluting the word until it means nothing anymore. Sure you are a homophobe yourself aren't you?

    You are the only one on here who seemingly has an issue with the Q in LGBTQ.

    You find it so offensive that you admit you would lash out violently if you were mislabeled as one.

    Very intolerant.

    If you called me homophobic to my face, would I be justified in punching you?

    I have no issue with the Q. the issue is have is straight people using it against me. Much like black people calling each other n*gga but not liking when outsiders do the same to them. It is rarely coming from a good place.


  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭Hedgelayer


    I know some gay guy's love expressing their deviant side in public and their bizarre fetishism and the whole what I think is the dark side of the scene.

    Call me old fashioned or whatever but there's a lot of gay men who have no interest in this behaviour of Sodom and Gomorrah like expression in public.

    They're different to us, they love filth and what they call pig play, and some of them actually eat ****, yes I'm serious.
    I was on a dating site and last week some dude told me that he likes eating ****,and guys pissing on him....

    This kind of behaviour is sick in my eyes, but dare you say you don't like it and youre not liberated etc...

    Give me an evening on a surfboard or out on a chartered shark fishing exhibition....
    Cutting timber with a chainsaw.....

    Oh I'm glad I'm no part of the deviant scene......

    If a gay person called you a queer you have no issue with it but if a straight person said it you would?


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,215 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Thread has turned into a cesspool what a shock.
    You would think from reading this thread that homophobia is non existent, it is just snowflakes being overly sensitive.
    I am afraid being yelled at by two lads (f@ggot) who are covering their faces and then subsequently slashed my face with a Stanley knife gives me a very personal experience and opinions.

    This thread has gone totally off topic as usual, with pretty familiar posters who seem a tad obsessed with LGBT topics.

    I will likely attend something maybe not the march itself on the day.
