The problem is that modern society takes many minor infractions and equates them with the most serious of offenses. There's no scale anymore. Everyone is so sensitive and needs to be protected from the sharp edges of the world.
Yes, it's uncomfortable and hard to hear all the crap that guys say about gay people... but it was a different society back then (30 years ago). Now, homosexuality is far more accepted, and if young boys are a bit insulting about it... so what? I didn't turn out badly because I was exposed to such opinions or insults growing up.
I really wish people would get past this need to protect "everyone" from whatever is uncomfortable. That's life. Some people don't like gay people. Shocker. Forcing them isn't going to do anything but make things worse over time, as resentment is far longer lasting.
Like yourself I'm bi too, but I was never homophobic or laughed at the gay jokes and banter.
My grandmother died in 1987 her best friend Dinjoe was swinging from the chandaleers, an extremely flamboyant dairy farmer from North Kerry. He used to watch out for her after my grandfather died.
I told Dinjoe he was like a woman and she got very protective of him, and explained that some men are born that way and it's not their fault.
She was a cool grandmother, an old pagan she had no time for the church used to tell my mum to turn off Jim will fix it, because she said Jimmy Saville was a dirty article.
She was dam right, he was dirty and a big article both metaphorically and on the media.
She called me a right rouge and she's right about that, and I'll always be a rogue...
It's definitely not hip to be square

Neither did I. However, I did laugh at the retard jokes, the mama jokes, the dead baby jokes, etc. Dark humor is a very strong part of Irish culture, and while it is offensive to some, overall, it depends on the context, and most importantly, the intent.
In hindsight, the gay jokes would probably have dried up had I told my friends that I was bisexual.. or perhaps I would have had less friends. Dunno. In any case, it's all part of growing up, because the world is not a sterile, clean, perfect place. Since then, I've been on the receiving of all manner of jokes/insults, as have most people... it's simply something we should learn to ignore or counter. I learned how to argue...
I learned to enjoy demolishing people's offensive remarks with logic and it worked wonderfully to show people to be the idiots that they are. I probably wouldn't have learned all that if I hadn't been forced to, due to my circumstances...
I was watching Demolition Man the other day... remember the society that is the backdrop for the movie? Ugh. That's the kind of controlled society these woke people want.. <shudders>0 -

I think it is very important that the woke receive the dystopia they crave, I for one have vowed to upset the malign of the eternally woke, I am proud of that.
For, speak your mind and you may be cancelled. Say nothing and you'll live -- at least a while. And lying cancelled in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell the woke that they may take our freedom of speech, but they'll never take our freedom?
Well said lad, you tell them... I see you're a racist now fahder 0 -

I think your idea is more correct.
Have you seen this interview from a Soviet defector? If what he says is untrue, its one hell of a co-incidence.

Yeah, I saw the intro for the new Call of Duty, and the subsequent surge in interest for this guy.
Still, I've had this opinion long before I saw his interviews.0
