What we need are more of two other, very different from each other, types of public gay - More Kenneth Williams and Rock Hudson types please. Less Alan Carr types. Would be a good start.

You clearly have nothing better to do on Sunday but sit there frothing at the mouth because someone doesn’t agree with you, refreshing boards every few minutes to see if there are any further breaches to your code of conduct but the rest of us have family and friends and things to do. Sit there all you like. I’m not a homophobe but your still a little tin pot Hitler. What do I care?

Lefty Bicek wrote: » Just pointing out such an article, in such a media outlet, in Polish, no less. Sheer serendipity, and in no way connected to any easily detectable agenda. Weren't we lucky ?

So much going on there.. Why is it always Poland these bizarre stories come from? When did Marxist-Leninism become Marxist Lesbianism? when did Thatcherite Leo become a Marxist? Why are these right wing nutjobs always obsessed with homosexuality?

Lefty Bicek wrote: » All in jest. Your opening commentary attached to the OP. Sounds more like a xenophobic attack on Poland, than jest or humour. Your pathetic attempt to backpedal now and claim 'jest', is plain dishonest.
batgoat wrote: » Unfortunately extreme right wing views are coming out of Poland, that's a fact. Racism, xenophobia and homophobia are a part of the extreme politics that has developed. The op wasn't being xenophobic by stating that..
Lefty Bicek wrote: » I'm glad you aren't trying to maintain the pretence that it was 'in jest' either.

Lefty Bicek wrote: » It was brutally unfunny, that is all. Your attempt to backtrack and claim it was 'in jest', is a lot more amusing.
batgoat wrote: » There is a pretty hilarious aspect to the ridiculous portrayal that the publication has made of Ireland and it has been subject to plenty of comedy online. Question, do you agree with it?
Lefty Bicek wrote: » The headline of the article is so ridiculous as to be sad. The tone of the OP commentary that accompanied it, same.
batgoat wrote: » In your opinion but it seems a bit like you're offended because you agree to some extent with the sentiments. Pretty apparent based on the sentiments you've expressed.
batgoat wrote: » I'm looking at the op's post, I'm seeing nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong with it. Seems fair to question what Marxist lesbianism is etc... Only people offended by op seem to be the people who have pretty homophobic views, strange that!
Stop moaning ffs wrote: » Lefty are you unaware how completely awful it is to be gay and in Poland? You cannot he openly gay. Unless you want your head smashed in. That’s not bigoted. That’s fact.
Lefty Bicek wrote: » Which sentiments in that article is it apparent to you that I agree with ? Specifics, please.
Lefty Bicek wrote: » Possibly something to do with the fact that Poland as a nation has been persistently attacked and affronted in consequence of it's being 'God's Playground' ie stuck between the Germans and the Russians. It could be considered unfortunate. It leads to an exquisite sense of nationhood, when you existed only a language, actually absent from the map. It crystallises the mind much more immediately than being neutral in an 'Emergency'. Perhaps if the worst flag the Poles had ever seen coming over the horizon was a rainbow flag... ah well. Historically, homosexuals have tended not to have much to contribute to the preservation or maintenance of that will to survive, either by deed or lifestyle. Unless there are things about Josef Pilsudski, or Witold Pilecki that are not more generally known. They go too far in the other direction, but it is a matter of fact that Poland is not yet pussified and generally obsessed with the gay agenda in the way that people here have accepted.
