That's just fine for you, then. But your original statement is one I've heard many times before and basically says, "It's ok to be gay as long as you don't hit on me." You're more than welcome to be uncomfortable being hit on by a gay man, but that has nothing to do with whether gay people are ok. So putting the two thoughts together like that is very misleading.Rich said:I've never said it was beyond my ability to deal with it, I said it would be uncomfortable for me to have to do so
There was a very similar additude in this country about 40 through 115 years ago. It went something like, "Black people are OK as long as they're taught in different schools, and use different bathrooms, and sit at the back of the bus."
Colin, perhaps you might have heard of a particular group who has a pretty big grudge against our government. Maybe we were out of line, but the average citizen took it rather personally when airplanes were flown into some of our buildings.ColinEssex said:Blimey! what a strange attitude you must be well battered Ken given the amount of people worldwide that hate and knock the US government. Its up to you if you take these things personally as the fall guy for your warmongering dictator - they're not aimed at you.
