LGB Discussion #2

[Ensay]

The time has come for the second LGB Discussion thread, some 13 months after the first was created! (I wasn't convinced it would last more than one page, let alone 51.)

At the end of the last thread we were discussing Matty Healy's calling out of homophobic laws in Malaysia. Continue!

I added a poll to get an idea of the make up of posters' sexual orientations. Obviously it's anonymous and optional.

Thank you for saying that, I appreciate it. That’s it, the way they can “legitimise“ their views and distance themselves from it. It’s really chilling when you think about it.

I’m glad to hear that was your experience. Well, that at least you knew there was no implied prejudice with their views.

I know the thread’s taken a different tangent today, but I do appreciate being able to talk about our experiences here.

It’s helped me think things through. I always just thought I had a “complicated“ relationship with religion, and dismissed any negative affects it’s had on me, because other people have it worse. But it’s really helped give me some peace of mind to acknowledge that actually, it‘s caused me a lot of feelings of upset and loneliness over the years, especially when I was younger.

You're welcome!

Yes it's quite a twisted argument really... "I can say what I like because I'm backed up by an old book and I'm only mean to you because I love you!" They must sometimes pause and think "hmm this is a bit daft actually".

I think you're right to acknowledge it and it can be easy to say that others have had it worse, while that's true, it doesn't mean you shouldn't talk about your own experiences if you want to.

To the archives of Pink News to quote the full of shite piece of shite Matty it’s all performative he doesn’t care about anybody but himself

As a straight man courting LGBT support he has described himself as a genuine ally but what knowledge does he have on rights? None he doesn’t research anything not even after his stunt 2019 in Dubai he just turns up to countries and when he realises he has an issue all he has to offer is to kiss men then flee the country

To my mind it’s absolutely pathetic and those who endorse this bs now going with the Muslim shithole country rhetoric but it’s good as I said I like to know what type of people I’m dealing with

The 1975 singer Matt Healy felt ‘pretty irresponsible’ after kissing a male fan in draconian Dubai

The 1975 singer Matt Healy said he felt "irrresponsible" after a gay kiss with a fan on-stage in Dubai, where same-sex relations are illegal.

Lesbian speed-dating event demands only 'adult human females' attend

Jenny Watson, 31, is in the midst of a transphobia row after insisting only 'adult human females' can attend a lesbian speed-dating event at the College Arms pub in Bloomsbury.

www.dailymail.co.uk

This company organises speed dating and other events for lesbian and gays. The organiser requested that only females attend their lesbian speed dating event as a male with an erection harassed a lesbian in the toilet at a previous event. She is now being investigated by the venue after transactivists complained. Hopefully they are not pushed underground and are able to find another venue, because gays and lesbians especially who don’t believe in this gender stuff do find it hard to meet like minded people nowadays. They have weekly events in London. https://lezbegay.co.uk/events/

The activists make it very difficult for women especially, why do they have such a problem with women wanting to be around other women

First of all: Boooo! Why didn’t you do a rhyming thread title as per Tattle rules? Even off the top of my head right now I can think of: “Gay, Bisexual, or lesbian, dear? All these kinds are welcome here”. Do better @Ensay !


Also:

C’mon gays, wtf are you playing at? We can beat these bi’s! We are even being beaten by the straights at the moment, this is unacceptable in the LGB thread!

Sorry Rocky I voted in the straight category, so it's changed now.

Oh yeah I could have added a title. Oh well, maybe for the next one!

And yeah, we're even outnumbered by the straights here.

But I don't mind. I honestly don't have a problem with straight people. I've actually got straight friends. I don't necessarily approve of their lifestyle choice, but I respect them all the same!

The two men I am closest to (and know in real life) are gay men. I am the religious nut, but I respect them all the same.

omg do you actually… socialise with them? What are they like in person? Doesn’t it gross you out thinking what they do in bed? I heard sometimes it ends up resulting in a baby!

I mean, I try to keep my distance, so as not to imply I approve of their relationship. But I still love them as people, you know?

I don't think about the baby aspect, as that's just too much!

It’s just too in your face everywhere you turn these days imo, even in the recent Barbie movie they were trying to shove Barbie and Ken down peoples throats at every moment, this is supposed to be a kids film!

I suspect my cousin might be a het…you know…just gonna try and be as supportive as I can

It really helped me seeing normal straight people on tv growing up… they’re not that different to us really.

I just think it’s too much of an agenda, especially the last couple of years. There seems to be a constant push of heterosexuality everywhere you turn. On TV for example, for every normal couple there are nine straight couples in comparison, trying to normalise it

Even my straight friend thinks they’ve taken it too far!

They sound like an ally, I would keep them close. Lord knows there are far and few between in 2023. It’s all straight straight straight straight straight it seems these days. Am I the only one who noticed love island was all about heteros this season? No doubt big brother will be the same, maybe they will throw us a gay house mate or two to “placate” us. It seems like we’re being pushed aside just to accommodate heterosexuality and I don’t understand why

They’re one of the”good ones”, and not a total stereotype, my token straight friend, who definitely exists that is.

You obviously know your own relationship with this straightie, but I just want to put a warning If you don’t already know that the longer you hang around it, the likelihood increases you’re gonna catch it. You might go a bit bi at first or full on straight. I’d distance myself if I was you.

Im already bi, it’s happening!

It would help me to see more normal LGBT on TV in 2023 Tee Hee

The Matty Healy thing is weird imo. I don’t like the guy and I really don’t buy his claim that he didn’t know that a muslim country would have oppressive laws against homosexuality…
