This thread just shows how much work society still has to do.
I was waiting for the “I have a friend who is gay” statement to pop up.

You do realise you are saying something shouldnt be said in Hull now because of what used to happen in the UK 59 years ago or uncivilised parts of the world now?
It’s about having a space for LGBT people to go to feel safe to be affectionate with their partner/date/hook up or know if you chat someone up you aren’t going to get a right hook back.
If that's aimed at me it's bang out of order but I'll absorb it with the pinch of salt it deserves...
I've also got friends from all over the world,some are even black FFS.
Were you waiting for that too?

You do realise that sport hasn’t quite moved with the times and being LGBT in men’s football is still a taboo subject?
So you're saying we're past all that now and should be able to say what we like?
Why don't you have a go throwing the N word around just because slavery isn't a thing anymore?
This is the same FA who participated in the World Cup in Qatar in 2022. Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar.
They are a bunch of hypocrites and their decisions cannot be justified.
Yes,and I was making the point that I drink in any pub with the caveat that it's not charging £10 a pint.
Aren't your lot the ones that moan we're too tolerant of "that lot" in the UK and should defend our values? Now you're suggesting we should just fold and adopt their values. Make up your mind.
Plenty of coloured people in America call each other this btw...
what is your evidence that it is taboo? when I played men's football or watched men's football there's been lots of subjects not discussed. despite that there are several openly gay men in men's football still playing.
You've missed the point. You've taken TwoWrights and made a wrong.
I said "Studid maybe, but arrested (for that) and a criminal record"
The bit you quoted was not in reference to those few responsilbe for the heinous crime, but to those older ones of us who have been called silly old ****s and such stuff (oh the irony).
Some campaigners claim that there are more slaves today than at any other time in history.
How many men have been openly gay whilst playing in the Premier League?
About 5000 men have played in the PL. About 4% of men self identify as being attracted to the same sex. Let’s knock that down by half to account for football typically being ‘straight’. That still leaves about 100 who could have been openly gay/bisexual. Where are they?
You’ve just spent 24 hours telling a gay man that the rent boy chant isn’t homophobic despite the CPS declaring it homophobic.
There’s your evidence.
Caution...There are people queuing up waiting for you to say this and they'll now use it as a big stick to beat you with.
I was a member of a supporters club. One of the members told us he was gay. Nobody made an issue out of it.
Some of the members were socialists. The sort who would campaign for gay rights. After the socialists had a few drinks sometimes they would make pathetic jokes critical of the gay guy's sexuality. It was never my experience to see the more conservative members crack similar jokes. Just consider who is being honest when they tell you their views. They could be "virtue signalling".

I was simply pointing out the failing in the premise of your statement. You're almost there.
