...And yet he is still allowed to preach his propaganda without fear nor prejudice. Isn't that curious?
Tim, let's cut the crap here. You said ONE thing that was correct - the "one-in-ten" thing is indeed an urban myth (as is most of the crap spouted by the Kinsey institute for the last 40 years). But 20%? Show me ONE piece of objective evidence that supports this. Even gay pressure groups are starting to admit that their previous estimates are bollox. I've read that Stonewall are now giving "1 in 20" (5%) as a figure, but that even this is primarily based on "assumptions" (they don't say what these assumptions are).
It is NOT the fact that queers are in our midst that pisses us off (yes, Tim, "Queer" IS an acceptable word to use according to many in the gay "community") - it's the constant preaching, marching, shouting, banner waving, finger-wagging and "straight-bashing". Why don't you lot just accept that most people will accept you, some never will, wind your necks in and just live your lives as ordinary citizens as the rest of us do?
but we can't allow a modern society, and particularly our armed forces, to continue condoning the kind of attitudes that are better suited to early Carry-On films.
WHY not? Everybody has the RIGHT to their own views - who are YOU to say what 'modern society' should allow? You have no more right to dictate social norms than anybody else. Do you think that being gay somehow gives you this right?
sniggering comments, sideways looks, whispered rumours, or worse still, abuse, maybe even violence
The vast majority of people, at some point in their lives, have to suffer this, for a multitude of reasons - being somehow 'different' from those you live or work amongst, having something that makes you stand out, makes you a target. Perhaps being overweight, coming from a different area or socio-economic group, being considered "odd-looking" or "ugly", being just some examples. This is NORMAL - it is part and parcel of human nature. Why should being gay somehow give you the "right" to be insulated from the norms of human society, a "right" that none of the rest of us normal folk have?
Do us a favour, Tim, and take your preaching and your made-up statistics elsewhere. We are sick to the back teeth of it.
