Why not love you can make a straight thread if you want we don't mind <3

Actually, that's a good point. I am fully supportive of straight rights and issues. I will make a cishet/straight thread as the equivalent counterpart to this where straight issues can be discussed and straight music and TV shared.

you know what slay i would do the same

Why is it that only gay people being up their sexuality?

To tell you the truth, unless I am sleeping with that person, it never even occurs to me to classify them by sexual preference.

If you do, you need mental help.

Gotta love that woke alphabet !!

WOW~!

You bought the extension pack!

Hi folks. Can we remember not to engage the trolls and bigots here. It just clutters up the thread and wastes time. They're not going to stop being bad because we try and offer a rebuttal to their prejudice. Just report and ignore.

Oops, I forgot that was in the first page.

No problem, it's easily done. And so tempting to engage, lol 😆

It's sad that some people don't understand time and place.

I love debate, am very pro-freespeech, and am happy to discuss anything in a sensible manner with those who disagree with me. But I recognise that there are times and places for such, and that it is uncivil to try and share my opinions wherever and whenever I feel like it.

For example, I believe that telling children that most of humanity is suffering eternal torment in hell is morally repugnant, and am happy to discuss personal eschatology in the right setting, but it would be extremely rude of me to storm into a random Sunday School and brashly start telling people in there that they are unnatural and evil.

Likewise, it is very ill-mannered for homophobes to blunder into a thread started by someone with the express purpose of trying to escape toxic comments. Best not to encourage such gauche boreishness. Save that for other threads.

Of course I mostly agree with you, but "homophobe" feels overly dismissive. Sometimes kids are learning social boundaries by saying inappropriate things without even understanding what their words mean, and some adults are (just as instinctively) attempting to maintain the social status quo by signaling their disapproval of something not normal.

Although I enjoy the fact that society is seriously reflecting on the various shades of human sexuality, I have to admit that adding many letters is a bit humorous... I can also understand that those who view the world as a zero sum game will feel threatened (i.e. by including you it means we're excluding me).

I mean... I realize this is all a bit rich coming from me, what with my daily displays of contempt, but you know, there are two sides to it. Not everyone who posts stuff like the recent posts is a contemptable bigot or "homophobe."

for whats this forum..?

Llama: We likely have a semantic disagreement on what we each mean by 'homophobe' - the definition of which I'm more than happy to discuss, though wonder if this is the right thread?

And we also clearly disagree about the age of moral accountability, but since that's largely an intuitive thing I feel there's not much to do there but agree to disagree.

I'm also curious about your choice of phrase 'not normal', but again is that level of semantic debate worth entering into?

For me, I'm happy with what I wrote and feel it is correct. If any troll poster wishes to try and convince me that they are not, in fact, a bigot then I'll be happy to engage in that debate with them on another thread.
