Sodomy, All at Sea - Page 4

Tealeaf just look back over the past few pages. To you they may not be offensive but to a gay person they can be. What most people think is funny and light hearted can hurt the people they aim it at, and can sometimes just be a disguise for plain old prejudice.

Quite right, A-B. Me and you are the same age, and as I recall the only puffter we would see on telly when we were kids was Liberace, and even he denied it. A queer was a queer and the law duefully recognised that by making the act of bum-bashing a criminal act, and even when that was recinded in 1967 you'd be fully grown-up and composmentis before indulging in these obnoxious capers. These days, of course, thanks to "Gay-Friendly" New Labour, we have a paedophiles charter, and dirty old men diving in the sack with young lads at 16 years of age (2 years before they can legally have a pint)

Neverthelss,we knew a bandit when we saw one and we did'nt need any "Gay Awareness" school lesson to tell us such. The only motto was "keep the buggars at bay" and if they came to close , then sort 'em out. I can tell you, the world was a far happier place then.

And on this note can I just say that WE ARE WHAT WE ARE!! let it be BLACK,WHITE CHINESE,INDIAN ,GAY, STRAIGHT, A BIT OF BOTH or anything for that matter.
Dare to be different i say, gay people can't help what they feel or they would be straight and live a ''normal life'' whatever that might be.
Don't get me wrong 'some' of them can annoy the chuffing life out of me (specially like what was mentioned the over camp one's' but some of them are genuin nice people , but hey that is same with everything, some white people I can't stand, and some white people I can, some asian people I can't stand, some I can!!! you get the picture.
What really annoys me is people that say they can't stand people (lets say for instance asians), then talk to them. TWO FACED I think they call it.

I thought this post was for peoples opinion on gay people in The Navy not a 'gay appreciation' post. If you want to start a 'pro gay' thread g78 i will gladly contribute with nice things to say, i have gay friends and they are absolute stars, but in The Navy, no!!!

Gay men and women are as capable of fighting for their country as any other section of society. Indeed, a great many gave their lives for their country through two world wars. To suggest that the simple fact of recognition will bring the Navy into disrepute is not only fatuous but is an insult to the memory of the many who served faithfully and died for their country.

Unlike you, G78, I don't have delusions...you may wish a better world built by homo's, ethnics, vegans, vegies, animal lovers, cross-dressers, marxist's, anarchists and all the other assorted riff-raff on this planet, but I can assure you that the rest of the world does'nt.

What bothers me is why being gay is such a bigger part of who you are than being heterosexual. Surely a person's sexuality is only one part of their psychological make-up - unfortunately too many gay people make it into an issue where it was never one before. The old joke about the Navy used to be that "On land, it's wine, women and song, aboard ship it's rum, bum and concertina" - a joke made by sailors themselves. I do resent the attitude "I am gay, that is the most important thing about me, and you must respect me for it, even to an exaggerated extent".

Do what you want, make your own choices, and shut up about it.

well said pendy, I mean I am straight, but what me thinks is REALLY funny is when heterosexual sexual people say things like '' ow no look a gay has just come in the pub!! if they come near me!!) I mean come on guys EVEN GAYS ARE CHOOSY!! now think about that one you lot.
