"Homosexuality has, rightfully, become accepted by the public as, with time, prejudices have fallen away and it has been accepted that two adults can, and will, do with one another what the hell they please."
This, I'm afraid is a declining view...
Anyway... Apparently this was about food so... back to the delights culinaire!!!! (I'll have a savaloise... oo-errr Matron!) |

Oh Red any right thinking person would agree with you as long as the terms and descriptions are correct but when the lines get blurred and people get categorised in the wrong way, as an excuse to exaggerate and gain extremes for stories... then we are all in trouble.
Please remember we exist in a world where a male sleeping with another male, who was the same age as would have been legal if they were female, is convicted of historical crimes and branded as a paedo".
Homophobes use that kind of activity to persecute, as the Nazis did to the Jews.
"Well your grandfather was Jewish" was then. "Well 16 was illegal then if either party was male not female" is now. |

Ah, but Harley, we were just discussing this over food here, homophobics put me back on track away from the users, and I am grateful for this. |

"Todays Vile Perverts and "Paedos" are the gays of yesterday"
I have no problem with anything two consenting adults wish to enjoy between one another in bed. But however medieval the public's perception of the homosexual community may have been in the past, I don't think that the perception of sexual relations between two consenting adults of any persuasion could be compared to the (rightfully) scathing public perception of the actions of a paedophile towards a vulnerable and impressionable child who is liable to be both physically and mentally affected forever as a result of said actions.
Homosexuality has, rightfully, become accepted by the public as, with time, prejudices have fallen away and it has been accepted that two adults can, and will, do with one another what the hell they please.
This will not, and should never be so with child abuse. |

As an apparent refugee from the far end of the spectrum (straight, don't care what anyone does in bed. If I like em I like em and that's it) I can say most of my friends are pretty much the same. I take exception to people telling me that people I know are good people are 'despicable in the sight of God' (in the United Theocracy of America) or just 'unnatural'...
From what I can tell, being Gay is as much of a choice as my taste for buxom women with a slow smile, a dirty laugh, and eyes to drown in... so the 'hassle' over it is almost a complete mystery to me. People try to explain, but in the end it's like explaining fluid dynamics to a house brick.
Problem with 'people' is that a person is smart on the whole, but people like to let other people think for them.
There isn't really a monolithic group of 'Gays' any more than there is a monolithic 'Black', 'Asian', 'Islamic', 'Jewish', 'Women' or 'White' one... it's lazy thinking... but then you can expect that of large groups of people who don't belong to the itemised demographic... |
