You can't on one hand say "We are just the same as everyone else", while at the same time shouting "Hey, look at us, we're different". Also, if a player said "To hell with wearing playschool laces. You do it, I'm not." he'd be wrongly outed as a bigot and hounded for it. What's wrong with just letting people be whatever sexuality they want to be and minding our own business?

Because we DON'T let people be whatever sexuality that are. Because gay people are routinely discriminated against. Because being gay is still seen by many as effeminate, nauseating, abnormal, perverted. Because many gay people are still shunned by their own families. Gay people live in fear, which is very obviously why there has only been one openly gay British footballer, when obviously there must have been thousands. Until those prejudices are gone there's a need to get everyone on board with the idea that it's ok to be gay, that organisations and people in positions of authority won't allow homophobia and that people should feel free to live their lives as the person they are.

pandarilla Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I don't.

It's not gay players being encouraged to wear the laces, so your point about 'look at me, I'm different' makes no sense. 2. Plenty of players do not wear the laces. I've never heard of any of them being labelled bigots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably the sort of guy who complains about the lack of "straight pride" marches as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to accommodate the notion that an individual can self-identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bi-curious, bisexual, asexual, queer or whatever. I might have mixed up sexuality with gender though. I'll admit to not being an expert on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Got no idea why our fans didn’t get arrested for singing about Scott McDonald last season. Why shout this when you can call him fat or a cheat? I reckon the head Neanderthal behind the chants isn’t comfortable with his own sexuality and the others just follow like a mob. If it happens this season again I think the club should act. Name and shame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
