Agreed , F-B

I have never understood how it is possible to be proud of things which are accidents of birth. I am English, white, male and heterosexual - that is nothing to be proud of, because I had no decision in the matter. Not being ashamed of it, of course, is an entirely different matter, and I am certainly not. I have a number of homosexual friends all of whom look with distaste on the antics of participants in Gay Pride marches, etc. They regard their homosexuality as their own affair and not something to be shouted about.

To be fair, I am equally bored with the constant references to individual (hetero) sexual prowess, real or imagined, posted in various threads on here
