Mecky Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 and there's no correlation between the two, and again, like the spitting, could constitute a homophobic offence.. There probably isn't but it doesn't stop people from thinking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I do hope it was shock rather than anything else. I suppose ill find out tomorrow when i go to work. Not that im looking forward to it in the slightest. Ive never considered my workplace and anti gay or anti anything one. There are no racist or homophobic jokes, there is no smut on the walls or graffiti. It just seemed such a normal place:confused: I would imagine your colleagues are wondering as well. "is he coming in in his normal stuff or leather chaps and a studded waistcoat ?" Alot of people who I see in retail are young and at 20 if one of my mates had decided apprapo of nothing decided to come out my default reaction would probably have been immature sniggering. It's not nice or fair but it's how many young are wired. I think they'll get used to it pretty quick and wouldn't expect trouble from most maybe some invasive questions (you can guess) certainly if they don't know any other gay people. You'll have novelty value. However, the guy who wants you to stay away from his kids by default should be old enough to know better. If he keeps up, report him.

Murphy Jnr Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Religion is something that is deep seated, and cannot be rejected easily. Sins of the flesh are easily given up, by any decent person. Sins of the flesh! God you're not one of those awful preacher types from the Southern states of the US are you?

The guy who assaulted you has and those who sniggered at it have. It's them that should have the sleepless night not you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balpin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sins of the flesh! God you're not one of those awful preacher types from the Southern states of the US are you? No, from the bogs of Ireland, and from the fjords of Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anywebsite Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 What if no-one's doing that ? would you think it's okay to tell others you're gay because you just want to ? Again, if no-one suspects anything, why go out of your way and put yourself in possible bother ? (i.e. people being offensive towards you afterwards) ? Saying something that goes against society's norm (i.e. telling others you're gay) is not really a wise thing to do. Why should he have to keep it a secret? It is normal, quite a high percentage of men are gay & it is accepted by most people these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ok, I have a question : what possible need is there to tell others you're gay ? What possible need is there to tell anyone where you're going on holiday this year? Surely your holiday plans should be kept a secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balpin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Why should he have to keep it a secret? It is normal, quite a high percentage of men are gay & it is accepted by most people these days. Where is that then? It is not considered normal. I do not critisise this behaviour, and indeed have given good references to these men, who I have employed. But you cannot say it is normal behaviour.
