Israel Folau Religion and Homophobia

How many times has that actually happened to you? Please don't tell me that you think that if anyone mentions they are gay it means they are interested in you personally.

If a bloke mentioned his wife, would it matter? If a bloke mentions his husband, what difference does it make? How would you react any differently?

Like LL I don't care as long it doesn't effect me and I don't really care just as I'm not really interested in what somebody else's grandchildren have done at school etc.

I don't think they are interested in me Sexually when it is mentioned but on the couple of occasions it has happened it was mentioned afterwards by others that they felt disadvantaged in the meeting as though if you disagreed with them it would be prejudice because they were Gay.

I can understand that, but is that not the same as if you disagreed with someone if they were black, or Muslim, or anything that makes somebody 'other than' you?

If you disagree with somebody, you shouldn't be worried about saying so. Again, in a country where we should all be treated equally, if a person is being a complete prick, they're being a complete prick regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation. Straight, white males don't have the monopoly on that.

which is exactly what people have done and are doing on this site. Offensive part of comment edited by Admin. This is not due to the use of a certain term, but the context in which it was used.
