I absolutely agree willow, people should not be judged as a gay person, but sadly a lot are. From school through to the work place and in society many are ridiculed and made to feel less of a person, so as a way of standing up to the bullies they feel they have to make an issue of their sexuality and celebrate it. I'm not saying its necessarily a good or bad thing but if you think it through it is understandable. When people in general are repressed and bullied they will eventually shout back.

Did you hear about the homosexual wizard ?

He vanished with a pooooooof.

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea
 

the army as always been full of gays- all male [until recently,] dressing up, short hair, boots, mucky games with crackers etc, lol

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea
 

just rang a gay plasterer he says he will pop round wedesday to take a look at my crack in the bedroom

hope he can fill it as its in a place i cant reach myself :D


edit:

i know us normal people take the mick but look at it this way

for tollerating a few jokes about sexual orientation you get...

special clinics and councilors just for you

near enough unsackable from any job you are in

better chances of adopting a baby than a straight couple

more hand outs from the national lottery than disabled children

many more things all setup just for gay people the system wont be happy unless your asian , gay and out of work its just too much hassle been english, straight and in a job you get nothing in return

the truth is a lot of gays do keep quiet and dont expect special treatment but just like the old storys of the few asians who cried " its because ime black" a minority of the gay population will say "its because ime gay " and it will get into the media and then before you know it theres a group of gays with billboards screaming we want this gays want that and totaly give gays a bad image

take the last big brother for instance there were 2 gays in there daniel and marco were there names i think

daniel was laid back and only spoke about his sexuality when ASKED about it where as marco couldnt wait to prove to everyone how gay he was and how horrible the straight guys were yet they had done nothing or said nothing to him

dont you think its understandable that you get a few jokes made about gays when the majority of people dont meet gays and form opinions by what they see and read in the papers or on tv which are usualy demanding somekind of extra right that no one else is entitled to but they think they should be just because they are gay

ps:

when i said most people dont meet gays i am aware that a lot of people do but dont realise it and to me that is how it shuold be , a persons sexuality is their own buisness so no one needs to know about it from a meggaphone or by waving banners announcing it

extra ps:

yes i have cracked a few jokes regarding gays but thats because it was a thread about gays , if it had been about asians, chineese,polish,mentaly ill i would have cracked a few jokes there as well , its nothing personal its fun and if you cant laugh at your self then boohoo for you ive seen people with real problems like disfiguring illnesses and make jokes about themselves and people like themselves

i have a friend who has 4 tumours in his brain and 5 tumours in his spine and in a few weeks will loose the use of his lower body after surgery on his spine all at the age of 29 and he can still smile and crack a wheelchair joke allthough he is going to spend the rest of his life in one. there not cancer tumours its a rare disease but non the less hes in worse shape than a gay with hurt feelings

make sure he doesn 't take a deposit before he fills your crack.

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea
 

Quite agree, humour depends on how its meant not the content. Despite whats written in the right wing press ,there is still discrimination legally towards gays. Gay couples don 't have the same rights re: inherintance tax, and income tax in general, even if they' ve been together years. The gay rights lobbies did help change the law re: equal age of consent, & help to decriminalize homosexuality [for men only, over 21,] in 1967- It was never illegal for a woman to want to drive a bus! [joke!] Also gay visibility is good because every one presumes every one is straight unless they are screamingly camp, so most people don' t know they know a gay person, when in fact their hairdresser may in fact be gay!

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea
 

In an attempt to get back on thread, how about a bit of positive discrimination in favour of disabled sailors? The warships can hardly be called wheel-chair friendly & those 4.5 inch guns they have should be designed to give some-one in a seated position easier access for loading the shells into the breech block. What about these hatches we hear the Navy having to batten down? Get them fitted with easy action clips so that an amputee can operate them without too much effort. Lets stop discriminating against the physically handicapped before we get all hot & bothered about a few puffs!

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea
 

Quite right Willow. I should have thought that we could at least be grateful that anyone should wish to serve in the armed forces and put their lives on the line for all our sakes. I know I am. What they do in their private lives is a matter between them and their conscience and should be nothing to do with anyone else.

God knows, there is enough hate in the world as it is, without wishing to create more by getting sniffy about what people do in bed. Come on people, it's part of life, deal with it and lets move on!

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea
 

no lets take the p*ss its more fun.

Re: Sodomy, All at Sea
