You can't distinguish between homophobic and racist as if they're any different.

This is what gets me about being a "feminist" or being "for gay rights" or being, I don't know, a "postcolonialist." The amount of pro-black rights campaigners that are feverently anti-gay, for example, really drives me nuts.

How can you campaign for the equality of one group and completely shun another?

I can understand how some people could have the belief that homophobic chanting is "lesser" to racist abuse, but in reality that's just enabling ignorant, narrow minded abuse. We either treat everyone as equals or we say 'fuck it' and accept everything. And I can tell you from the off which world I'd rather live in.

Damn right my friend.

Damn fuc king right.

You're one of the good ones mate.

I'm sorry, but I really, feel their is a difference between being homophobic and racism.

Before anyone jumps the gun I'd also like to point out that I am not homophobic myself (God I sound like half the BNP members trying to say their not racist! ). I have gay friends, and have been in gay clubs and not had any problems with them.

I also wasn't one of the little chavs constantly singing homophobic songs at Brighton either!

You have no choice of your ethnicity. You have a choice over your sexuaulity.

That doesn't make it right for one minute, but its just as bad as mocking someones weight.

I refer to my previous response.

That is simply bollocks.

You've got a lot of growing up to do, fella.

Read Jon the Hat's post - you might just learn something.

Mate, if I could choose to be gay I'd be all over Woolers in a flash. We've both got women problems, we both like Iwan Robert, it's a match made in heaven.

Unfortunately I can't just make that decision. I'm lumped with the ladies and their lumps.

You make a good point. You really do.

I still don't believe you are born gay, simply because their is no scienfic proof of this. I believe it is something that happens to you in your environment when your growing up.

And there is always a choice.

Those are definitely the twin keystones on which a successful relationship is built.

I'm flattered.

If we're still in this situation by the time we're 35, let's take the plunge as it were (which it is), if you will (which I assume you will).
