But the abuse of someone from a STRANGER because someone is GAY or TRANS or anything on the LGBTQIA+ is not ok. The thread is about homosexuals. I fight for the protection of everyone’s rights. I’m a nurse. I don’t think that anyone is above anyone or below anyone. Please don’t try twist it that way

I have worked in many an ER where a PERSON arrives following a domestic assault. I will always be against any type of assault. Always. But the thread is about pantibar ==\== homosexuals That was my basis for my opinion in my op Sorry if I hit a nerve

Anyway, as I made my way towards the Luas a couple of young guys made some suggestive comments to me and asked me to come up to some party with them. I jovially declined and then some further comments were made which I won't repeat. Have we really got to stage where a man can't walk the streets at night without lewd offers of sex being made to them? As far as I'm concerned this means one thing and that that I've clearly still got it!! For evidence of true equality though I still think what we need are groups of young women accosting men on the way home, with similarly debauched offers. We're a ways off that off that of course but we can always hope, we can always do that.

trick wrote: » Buddy I hope that you know that not all women share the same idea of #metoo I literally hate that entire debaucle. I feel like it’s an easy **OUT** for women to be misandrists. I don’t think it’s ok that you were basically accosted. Not cool! Hope you got home safe and you are ok 👌ðŸ»

Your view on an incident where two gay men were beaten with hurls: Your view on a prominent gay pub having its window smashed on Pride weekend - by a brick with a homophobic message on it: If you don't want to be perceived as a homophobe, then maybe you should engage in a (what I suspect would be very fucking rare) moment of introspection, and consider exactly why you feel the need to downplay a homophobic attack, or deny that an incident of homophobic vandalism even happened. Yes, it's fair to say that gay people generally have it easier nowadays than twenty or thirty years ago, but to suggest that Pride is unnecessary or that homophobic attacks are no longer something to be feared in this country is to ignore the lived experiences of gay people. And that takes a fuck-load of arrogance -
the sort of arrogance that only privilege can bring.
