It's almost as if being treated like 2nd class citizens, at best, can take a toll on people, isn't it?
Is it ok if Teachers stick to teaching my kids Maths, English some Science a bit of Art and ill stick to being the Dad? Thanks
One of my cousins is gay - he and his partner retired at 40. He was a partner at Accenture before he retired. He paid cash to pay off his parent's mortgage. He is now a part time actor. He likes a drink but doesn't do drugs and is not depressed. Has been with his partner over 30 years - his circle of gay friends are not too dissimilar if not as financially successful. I realise that this may come as bit of a shock to you Si and that you will be highly resentful of any suggestion that this might be reality and normality for many gay people.
#notall #disproportionate amount of suicides depression and substance abuse in the community. HIV rate also disproportionate . These are all facts go look it up, but your cousin... Nice outrage vulturing though you boring ****er.
Maybe there is a higher incidence of depression and suicide among those whose parents and friends find it difficult to accept them being gay.
New Zealand rugby player in trouble for saying gays will go to hell Once again the bit quoted is about gay folk, although he included others (basically non Christian's) Probably get a tv gig like hoddle did
He sounds like a persistent bellend, to be honest. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/47893542 Looks like he's getting the boot. Good.
He should know as a sportsman you simply can't say this ****. My point though is that he didn't pick on gay folk specifically, yet that's the headline.
Because gays are a protected class against discrimination and none of the other groups that he mentioned are. He didn't mention Muslims, for example, while it's apparently fine to lump atheists and fornicators in with drunks, thieves, liars and adulterers. It's also not the first time that he's posted something anti-gay.
I don't think I could marry a Muslim. From my own experience even the ones that are Westernised are still fundamentally devout. I don't think my way of life and outlook on life is compatible. I've had a relationship with one and we discussed marriage and she asked me would I be willing to convert? I didn't answer her but it was pretty obvious what my feelings were. There was not even a discussion of whether she would become a Christian or agnostic. Her way of the highway - I've had a similar discussion with another woman too with the same outcome. Its easy to say it wouldn't be an issue to marry someone from a different faith or someone with a disability (yes I know its not a great comparison) but in reality it is a very big thing.
