You do know “your ilk” is a term that is used, mostly sarcastically, to refer to people who identify with a particular group, could be a political group, could be a class sector....it’s not reserved for minorities?!?

Like is it deliberate deception, or an inability to comprehend reality? Both? The sad fact of the matter is that correcting the untruth doesn't kill it, all it needs is repetition and an audience of people who definitely aren't homophobic, no siree, but just conflate homosexuality with pedophilia, and it'll keep lodging in there along with the traveller/roma/Polish woman leaving her buggy on the bus and all the rest of it.

Dominik Echoing Flute wrote: » Aanyways... I was speaking with a Polish customer about this at the weekend, she's living here about ten years but gets home once or twice a year. Her take on it was pretty much what I would have been thinking. That while compared to Ireland it is a more conservative, macho culture, it's a situation that's being exacerbated by the degree of emigration Poland has had for a long time but particularly since joining the EU, and that it's being fomented (from within and without in her opinion) by people for political gain. That over the last couple of years she's noticing a real change on her social media feeds from her friends back home, not necessarily specifically to do with LGBT issues but some of that and a degree of explicit, unselfconscious nativism etc that wasn't there before. The target demographic for this kind of meddling is huge in Poland, and there's been a steady drain of young educated Poles for a long time. Kind of similar to here where constituencies like Donegal and Roscommon are the consistent no voters, but on a much bigger scale. She also said the LGBT thing is a much less complicated issue to rally people around than the immigration one, though there are certainly lots of people to whom that appeals and there is a definite thread of that rhetoric too.

jochenstacker wrote: » You can dislike absolutely anyone, i don't see a problem there. The problem starts when someone says "I dislike a group of people and now I want to get others to dislike them as well, based on nothing but a few superficial characteristics". Also, it's a free country, so you're free to dislike someone because they're a bit too flamboyant for your taste, but people are entitled to be as camp as they want to be. As long as they're not directly hurting you, what's the problem?

Both white couples. So, straight off, your claim that you will never see it is just wrong. Why are you saying stuff you know to be wrong?

So the question is why are the powers that be pushing this?
