Kick It Out

PLayers also have the right not to feel uncomfortable by the presence of homosexuals in the changing rooms.
That's why we have Mens and Women's toilet not Unisex ones.
To introduce a sexual element into a context where none should exist (i.e. toilets or changing room) is utterly wrong.
I can't believe some of the 'right on' nonsense being spouted on here.

He's an introvert, sensitive and gloomy.
Also suffers from hallucinations if he thinks that profile makes a good captain.
What a load of old tosh. Does this logic also apply to womens sports? Or don't you mind the thought of a load of lesbians in the changing rooms with straight women.
I don't for one minute think that just because you are gay footballer than you will spend your time in the changing room trying to gay up your fellow players. People can control their sexual urges you know.
We have some unisex toilets at work.

I can't speak for heterosexual women's thoughts on rug-munchers in their dressing room. It's not for me to say.
Same sex attention is not something heterosexuals wish to be exposed to.
Agreed?
It's not often I agree with Mr. Blampey but in this case I do.
Toilets are not an issue but changing rooms are, and in the name of equality they deserve their own I would say.
Would you mind having men in your changing room watching you naked eyeing you up in the shower or whatever after swimming/gym etc.?
It would be wrong, and I feel the same about homosexuals. Not to say they all definitely would but if they did it's totally unacceptable. It's not homophobia, I wouldn't want a load of women in my changing room either.
Stuart, it bothers me not if a person is gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender or transvestite. I see everyone as an individual. I do not base how I feel in a persons presence on their sexual orientation.
It's not really about objecting to someone's sexuality per se......
It's about creating a relaxed and unified dressing room without sexuality raising its head so to speak.
Sexuality has no place in the dressing room. Kick that out!

So you would want gays to have their own changing rooms just because some heterosexual men would feel uncomfortable? Good grief! I get changed in my office at work that I share with 5 other people and I get changed into my scrubs in front of the males and females alike. I tell the boys if they don't like it to turn away. In fact I say the same to the girls. We are all grown ups. No one has ever said it bothered them. And they would if it did.
But not everyone is like you so it's absurd to mention your experience as some sort of benchmark.
You are the one that is bringing someones sexuality into it. The gays can keep it in their pants just as well as heterosexuals. What if someone in the dressing room is a massive dickhead or a bully. That would cause more tension than a gay footballer in the dressing room.
You seem to want to speak on behalf of all straight men about gay footballers in dressing rooms. Where is your evidence? Same difference as me saying what I said about work.
You're missing the point.
It is asserted/assumed there are more homosexualists in the nation's dressing rooms than there are publicly known.
They are wise to not declare their interest as it creates suspicion/mistrust amongst their team mates who want to trust and rely on their colleagues without some unwanted 'attention' or complications.
The status quo is the evidence. Worldwide and evolved naturally over many decades.
There appears to be no desire for a change except from oddballs like Peter Tatchell and Shami Charkrabarti
Come on, changing outfit is hardly strutting your stuff butt naked in front of people possibly attracted and/or eyeing you up.
By your reckoning you'd be perfectly happy to broadcast your shower tonight live on here. Also male/female showers & changing rooms are redundant because it's ok to get naked in front of others and ok for those others to watch keenly.
I wouldn't be pleased at being naked and eyed up by anyone, whether they're a gay man, a straight woman, or a bisexual goat. Surely everyone's entitled to their right to comfort and not have to worry about such things, thus the reason we have separate sex changing facilities in the first place, no?
Maybe the best course of action would be to have individual private cubicles, like the ****ters in public toilets, rather than wide open changing and showering areas?
That way, genders are kept apart and each individual can have the comfort of knowing they're not being weighed up by a stranger and possible admirer.

If you found yourself naked in a communal changing area with a known homosexual bloke, would you be more offended if he looked at you and didn't get a hard on than if he did?
