I understand what you mean but I can see why people don't come out even if it's nothing to do with embarrassment. You'd soon go crazy if everybody was commenting even supportively about you being straight and you having to endlessly answer questions on it.
I think its all to do with f ass apparently they call the camel the ship of the desert because they're full of arab 'seamen'
but that's not entirely true - the UK is now a multi cultural society and the topic is about two gay footballers coming out and what the reaction will be - it is very relevant when we have an increasing proportion of our population - over 3 million believe it is a crime against God and some believe it is punishable by death - so whether you think it irrelevant or not, it is important to realise that some peoples reaction will be very different to me and you
charon is an idiot. clearly a lot of people care when they really shouldn't. abuse levels demonstrate that there are still many idiots around that feel threatened by the existence of gay people (and i bet their music collections contain plenty). not to mention the other idiots who get upset for religious reasons.
I don't think religion should be discarded. The views of religions are just as, if not more legitimate than anyone else's.
If anyone feels threatened by another person having sex with someone of the same gender then it's their problem to deal with. Double standards will be applied though as a lot of men don't mind 2 females but not 2 males. Live your own life and don't get so upset by gay/straight etc etc. Grow the **** up.
Because?... It's not real. It's just a puppet. Might as well listen to people who claim to be a Jedi knight.
All you prove is your own ignorance. Speaking of double standards, how do you feel about adults with attractions to children?
Double standards? How can you make the leap from same couple sexual relations to ****philes? Behave. Ignorance indeed.
This is a red-top conversation and it will draw all aspects of opinion and that must include the religious aspect. It's a worthless conversation that has already seen players named (and shamed - is how it comes across) for no other reason than idle self-indulgent smugness. Does the thread serve a purpose?
