What do gay posters here think about the way TV airs the campest gays they can find? X-Factor would have you believe that all gays are extremely camp! Why cant they pick out a gay teddy bear for a change?

They hate X Factor, X Factor is tv heroin for queens and twinks

Im just pointing out that the person holding up that disgusting poster is pretty grotesque (probably on purpose) and to find that sexually attractive would need your head examined.

Why not put some nice makeup on and tie the hair back rather that trying to look like the Joker?

Why don't you post a picture of yourself so, and we'll see if you're so gorgeous. Maybe somebody finds you grotesque? Maybe somebody thinks you're the next Brad Pitt. Beauty is subjective.

Just reading the thread and an embarrassing memory popped in my head :pac:

I was 18, working in a retail job and I was chatting to a fellow worker one day, who was gay, just bantering away. We got on to some subject (cant remember what) and I uttered the words "ah, thats gay" Que a loud voice in my head scream "YOU FOOL! GO...GO...RUN" lol. He didnt anknowledge it and continued to chat on. Whilst I went "STUPID STUPID STUPID"

Ha. Is funny looking back.

Any gay people I know wouldn't think twice about the phrase! It's a word that has changed meaning over time and to me it's just like saying "ah, bummer" or "ah that's crap" and not homophobic at all. Although there was a discussion on the LGBT forum that some people do get offended at it.

Yeah, maybe they should get with the times and do themselves up in some Abercombie & Fitch so that people will think they're beautiful.

It's a subject of argument tbh.

I hate it. But it's so common it's a waste of time trying to fight it, so I usually just say nothing and pretend I didn't hear it, to be honest. If it's somebody with a bit of cop on, I might say something, but if I know there's no point, I find it hard to find the energy. It bothers me every time though.

It doesn't bother any of my gay friends but if it did they would say to me "listen I prefer if you wouldn't use that word" and then ya just have to make a mental note not to use it around that person, so if it bothers you, I would tell your friends.

You can't expect everyone in the world to adhere to language you deem acceptable though, unfortunately (Not saying that is your opinion by the way, just saying..)

For example, although I am getting better at it, I dislike when people use the word "rape" casually. For example, "Manchester United absolutely raped Liverpool last night" or "I am going to rape that sandwich when I get home" (I know, I have weird friends :pac: ) or even at first the term "frape" for Facebook made me uncomfortable.

But I know my friends, and they don't mean any insensitivity around it, it's just we use a lot of funny terminology and everythings all very casual and no harm intended. The majority of my friends, as far as I can tell from responses and facial expressions, show no discomfort when other friends use that word casually, wheras I would get a little uncomfortable, for personal reasons, and try and change the subject along. Do I think they're horrible people? No. Do I think they shouldn't be allowed use that word? No.

Anyway, sorry, very off topic!

Best burn I've seen in a long time…

You know, I once saw a straight muppet who dressed up as a pedophile priest for Halloween, complete with faux child attatched to the costume's crotch in a sexual pose. I was seriously disgusted.

I want the straight community to come out and say they do not condone this, that this kind of straight behaviour is not acceptable, and maybe then they could mitigate some of the damage done to the straight community.
