Seems as though there’s been a number of arrests this season. Seemed like there were more than 2 people being taken away from that area during the Crystal Palace game.

Being abused should strengthen your resolve to show the ****ers up mate... let's not be so sensitive I'd rather not have to 'strengthen my resolve' just because some knuckle dragger decides to shout abuse at me because I have the audacity to love someone of the same gender, if you don't mind.
Xen Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 2 hours ago, Bunyip said: I don't get the " phobia " bit, I mean why would anyone be scared of a homsexual? Translated literally it means 'fear of', but language evolves with cultural changes and phrases take on subtly different meanings. If you translated it as 'an aversion to' it's a lot more in line with its current meaning. And if you look at how LGBT people were treated in the 80s during the AIDs epidemic, 'fear of homosexuals' is a very apt description indeed.

Punishment for it is a different matter though, surely you'd agree with that?

VLC86 Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 5 hours ago, Xen said: True, and that did cross my mind. That being said, I'm confident nothing will happen. I couldn't tell them for sure who it was (other than a block of 5-6 seats behind me), and even if they could identify the individual there's not a lot they can do to change anything - banning him would be overly excessive and other actions likely won't have any effect. As a gay man we tend to develop a thick skin when we hear such comments, and by-and-large the natural response is to ignore it, particularly as that type of individual is becoming fewer in number. I'm not saying that's the right course of action, but to me its understandable. That said, I'll drop the club an email this evening. Message Foxespride on twitter if you are on there, Jim does a really good job of looking into this sort of thing.
Guest worth_the_wait Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 If Brighton fans sang "does your girlfriend know you're here?", would that count as heterophobic abuse?

A true Bastian of moral integrity you are. I happen to think otherwise. Think of me what you will. I don't think any less of you in any way because of your opinions. Have a nice day
VLC86 Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Once a year this comes up and it never fails to amaze me. Poor Mark and the rest of the mods have to deal with the fall out when some idiot posts something absurd.
lcfc sheff Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 some people seem to lack empathy based on fear of losing masculinity points.
