Being Gay

[beaumontfox]

Just out of curiosity, are there any gay people that use this site?

Why would you want to know? It's not gonna make you reply in a different way to what they post is it?

Yes.

Uphill Gardners post on this site? Sickening...... come on own up!

Watched Drillbit Taylor last night.
Commenting on DT dressed as a teacher said "you're dressed for faganometry".

I thought it was funny

Maybe in my youth, what's it to you?

You seem to be claiming to be an authority on Primary schoolkid playground conversations.

his career's over at 35, i don't begrudge him maximising his income

You missed out the word 'football' between "his" and "career's".

His working life doesn't have to stop at the same time as his football.

That's pretty much what I was going to write, Spy.

You should have, it would have been much prettier prose than anything I could manage :icon_lol:

You seem to have got the wrong end of the stick!

Is there a difference between shouting 'get up you ****ing nigger' at a player and shouting 'get up you ****ing faggot'? Because I find them both equally offensive. It just seems that homophobic abuse is far too accepted and commonplace, especially in football.

Yes, there is. It's intent.

Everyone knows and recognises that 'nigger' is offensive. Therefore, anyone using it is intending to be offensive.

Not everyone knows / recognises / accepts that 'faggot' is offensive to the same degree. Therefore, someone using it may not purposefully be being as offensive.

Personally, I, like you, see them two terms as equally offensive and wouldn't use either of them. However, I would have more sympathy when judging someone using the term 'faggot' as I would not be as certain that they were trying to cause the same level of offence. Everyone should understand the meaning and implication of the word, but that's not necessarily the case.

Personally, I like faggots and think it's offal that they should be degraded in this way.

I would agree with this sentiment for the word gay, but not faggot, queer, puff, bender or French. Everyone knows they are all offensive things to call somebody.

Doesn't stop me saying these words with ultimate venom down the Walkers!

I am a hypocrite on this matter.

the very same!

What's offensive about faggot? Have we all moved to the States? Faggots are lovely.

And stop pretending that you don't know how to spell 'poof', you big bobnobber

If I were to compile a list of favourite derogatory slang words for "homosexual man", I think pillow-biter would be right at the top.

I've always liked 'chocolate stabber'.


Awaits post edit.

It depends on the context of course. Were I to say "I am looking forward to spearing a faggot later and tasting the meaty goodness", it would be quite obvious I mean the tasty meat snack. Whereas were I to proclaim "You filthy faggot, why did you back out of that tackle" it would be obvious I was referring to a fudge packer.

I think we've shifted away from the original issue.
