Re: Sodomy, All at Sea

I have no objections as long as everyone is treated fairly and equally. The gay image I have to agree with Willow. Actors singers and people in the public eye often play the gay role as effeminate which isn't necessarily the case. I know plenty of gay men who are as masculine looking as you can get. The gay image is not helped by the 'camp as a row of tents' personas that some of these actors (bloke off corrie, John Inman etc) singers (Jimmy Somerville) portray.

And what about shows like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? They overplay the "puffter" image intentionally.

I wasn't blaming anyone, straight or gay. I was just stating that to actively recruit any sort of group of people is always a good thing and should not be shot down due to prejudice and ridicule.

So we'll tell the other countries Forces that they aren't allowed to laugh at us and they must take us seriously even if we do have a minceing front line!!

I totally disagree. To actively recruit any group of people is blatant prejudice and as wrong as actively discouraging them. People are people are people and individuals should be taken individually on their own individual merit, no more, no less.

They did that one two years ago with the Black and Asian Communities. They classed it as Positive Discrimination and actually rejected White Europeancandidates in favor of ethnic targets by set H. M. Government. Don’t get me wrong and I respect all opinions on this thread. This is a Political Objective prior to an election and has ****** all (forgive the pun) to do with equal opportunities or anti discrimination policy.

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea

Actually Doug you are probably right there, damn government. But what riles me up is when people blatantly abuse and make fun of things at the expense of other people and their lifestyles as some people have done in this thread.

Hmmm, Maybe. But most of the opinions voiced thus far are identical to what was doing the rounds when I was at primary school. Plus ca change ,Plus la meme chose.
Has it ever ocurred to anyone that in portraying themselves as stereotypes, gay comedians might actually be taking the p*ss out of their audience's predjudices.
