I don't recall gay bashing chants at every game up and down the country?

Of course there are cases I never said there wasn't but I think people and that includes football fans are far more accepting than they were.

It suits the media to play certain things up so one idiot verbally slurs a player at a game and football is awash with racism or homophobia etc.

Pick your media viewpoint which is often contradictory within the same organisation:

1. The UK is one of the most tolerant countries in the western world. People can be openly gay in this country and it is largely a positive experience.

Or

2. The UK and Football in particular has a major problem with hate crimes and it is not safe to walk the streets if you are gay.

You've picked on a number of my posts of late, often to highlight a single word. Is this me not having a sense of humour or have I completely missed some sort of 'beef' I'm intended to be involved in?

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Isn't coming out as gay just so passe these days?

I can't wait for the first player to wave his GRC about

A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

there is nothing Feminine nor soft about Alexander the Great.

The veteran of dozens of battles, he was injured by every weapon known to antiquity. The original hard b@stard.

but i do share your sentiment. I frown upon homophobia, but also frown upon the modern Media shoving LGBT in my face at every opportunity.

Just Alexander himself. Defo a gayer. But more accurately described by a Dutch word i heard rumour of....translates to a 'brawl-niece'......a gay bloke who is always up for a fight.

The politicisation of LGBT has become rather tedious. Surely what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is their own business and really who cares anymore ?

i reckon all this rainbow stuff is Government's planned managing of open-borders with the Third World. The Brits are not really homophobic, in international terms. The Brits never needed all the rainbow stuff.

Other countries ( & their people) certainly do need to learn about tolerance. They kill gays in those countries. Both the State and Joe Public on the street - all persecuting gays.

And Holy Books with homophobic verses.....on sale at your nearest street corner.

The Rainbow brigade must surely focus their efforts at the worst offenders ?
