Gay people

Perhaps I'm missing the point here.

The church have made their position on homosexuality abundantly clear.

Why do gays want to be part of an institution that wont accept them?

Surely it would serve them better to get on with their lives.

Possibly so - but to say there are no mass Muslim anti-gay rallies ?

Utterly stupid!

when was the last one in dublin? I must have missed it. I do remember mass protests organised by the lackeys of the church against giving gay people the same rights as heterosexual people.

I like beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals fah-laming.

We just need a way to shoehorn travellers into the thread and we'll have the full house.

No, they just march into a newspaper office to shoot dead a dozen people over a drawing.

I must have missed that one. When did this happen? Was the Irish Times or the Independent?

Don't answer; I'm being facetious. We're talking about Ireland here. When is the last time you had Muslim clerics in the Irish media condemning homosexuality, or preaching about it outside a Mosque?

I think they need a more disciplined approach:

Not at all. And less of the patronising please!

So can I go into the lbgt etc forum an question homosexuality without being banned?

According to their very own charter, you can.

I'm very curious as to how you would actually question homosexuality, however? What's to question exactly?

10. While posting of controversial questions to stimulate debate is acceptable, soap boxing, i.e. constant repetition of a single viewpoint while refusing to entertain discussion on it, is both disruptive and annoying, and will not be tolerated. You are expected to contribute something other than placard proclamations.

Maybe you should organise a counter-protest!

By the way, and this is genuine curiosity, can someone send me a link for info on an LGBT protest of Pope Francis' visit? Im googling and can't find anything.

Colm O'Gorman, who was a victim of clerical sex abuse that also happens to be gay, is spearheading a protest called Stand4Truth to try and get the Vatican to come clean about their involvement in covering up sexual abuse of children by priests.

Maybe O'Gorman being involved is enough in the OP's mind for it to be called a gay protest.

Gay people use to be so cool. Snazzy dressers, boiler rooms, hyper libabdos.

Over the past couple of years they appear to have turned into a pack of over weight soccer mum's, protesting with their bill boards

The Pope is the next protest..

Someone has hijacked this cool set of people and replaced it with a group with the mentality of a Dublin cyclist

The World is in a strange place right now

The protest in the Remembrance Garden was organised on behalf of sexual abuse survivors by Amnesty... So it has literally nothing to do with being gay...

Where's the double standard though?

Do you ever hear gay people say, "Ah yeah, that's OK cos they're Muslim".

Yes. There is a sort of tolerance for Islam to hold a certain viewpoint, a sort of "that's just their way". Like the way you'd excuse your grandad referring to darkies, as they're from a different time.

Every now and again Ali Selim sticks his head above the pulpit (pun intended), says something barbaric, gets slaughtered for it and then slinks away back into his Mosque.

Y.

Can you show me a link where, say, Colm O'Gorman, or Panti, have spoken in opposition to any of the lunatic fringe from Clonskeagh? Because they're sure as hell fairly vocal when the church speaks out about gay rights, or abortion, or women's rights.

The same day that ISIS inspired lunatic ran amok in Dundalk Ruth Coppinger posted an anti Catholic church diatribe on her Facebook. Says it all really.

nthclare · 08-08-2018 01:22PM

A friend of mine is gay, yeah I actually know a gay.

He came out around 1994, he is now going through a phase of " it was more fun being gay when it was a taboo"

More fun when you were going against society's expectations and the church....

Nothing like being naughty and doing something thats frowned upon....

Myself and my gay bud love going to a river and flyfishing for seatrout without a legitimate licence, the adrenaline rush is alone is worth it.

He doesnt like the whole way his gay life has been sabotaged by a bunch of twats...

Well, yes. When Ali Selim made some less than enlightened remarks on FGM;
https://twitter.com/Colmogorman/status/962083374079905793

Selim then had to make several apologies and grovelling gestures in the media in the following days to correct his remarks.

Like I say, the lunatics in Clonskeagh do their best to avoid discussing issues of morality or ethics in the public spotlight. Whereas the lunatics in the Church can't help but talk about it every chance they get.

So of course you're going to hear the church being pilloried more often then Clonskeagh. If the church STFU and left society to its own devices - like Clonskeagh does - then you'd hear a lot less about it.

I'd love to see some sources from you of respected figures (i.e. not randomers on Twitter) saying, "that's just their way" in defence of Islamic hate speech.

ToddyDoody · 08-08-2018 07:12PM

I agree. Gay people should exist for my personal amusement and this isn't the case at the moment.

Cleopatra_ · 08-08-2018 07:30PM

We don't need to be snazzy dressers anymore, we have equality! And now we're too busy living sexless married lives just like the rest of ye
