Can someone explain the humour? To me it seems like mocking an individual in a base 'ha ha hes gay' way, with the thread then closed. This new thread then appears to jump on that bandwagon and carrying on a strand of that 'humour'. Come on... educate me! You're right basically, it's ridiculing gay rights by comparing it to left-handedness, and it's not that funny really, but there have been some amusing posts on the thread. The original LGBT supporters club was a wind-up, and personally I think it's a little sad that it succeeding in riling people. I'd welcome such a club myself, but I doubt we have enough openly gay supporters to make it worthwhile. Could the thread be defended by describing it as a philosophical discussion about compartmentalisation ?

Perhaps I shouldn't have posted it expecting the likely reaction it would get, but I didn't expect people to so open profess such profoundly closed-minded views. It seems some people think being accepting of homosexuality means saying "yes ok fine I won't actively seek out and abuse anyone for being gay but shut up about it now and keep it to yourself" The comment about, essentially, football not being a place for gay men to socialise shows a shocking attitude on the part of the poster. Football is a place for all people to socialize, surely? If you claim not to care about people being gay why would it bother you any more than two straight people making friends at the football? and find a new hole? what? I was going to ask if you'd say the same about a man meeting a woman but the sad fact is, you probably do talk about women in the same derogatory manner.

I think that is the bit that has shocked me, the manner of some fans. It has, perhaps inadvertently, given a chance for some homophobic types to surface.
Cue frantic back-pedalling from some, woz just banta fellah innit etc

If such outdated viewpoints are prevalent it's better we're all aware of it. Additionally it presents an opportunity for those who hold these viewpoints to be challenged.

Ooh matron I’m guessing you would have an issue with a man holding hands with or kissing a woman in public then? Considering that’s ramming their sexuality down people’s throats?

Someone really should start a thread about 'those bloody foreigners' and collect up some more scumbags.

Essentially this is schoolyard level 'humour' that disguises actual hate. Deva Chat is eye opening, this along with the disabled mocking the other day..... and this is just what gets said willingly in public. Makes you wonder who you stand/sit by on a matchday. Don't any of you ever claim to be part of a community club. A mod has just posted about the Bangor thread deletion "Original thread deleted, please discuss their demise without resorting to posts not worthy of our community ethos." Amazing.

Only one answer; the moderators are on Vaughan's payroll. I'll keep it quiet guys I promise!
