People are offended at everything?

[Obelix]

I agree, and having read Harvey's posts I didn't see anything homophobic in any his comments, and those who implied that were totally out of order.

 

I'm happy being totally out of order then thanks. His comments showed a deep lack of tolerance and were insulting.

Hey what happens to television viewers who are offended by two gay blokes kissing on Emmerdale?

 

They can turn the TV off?

 

If they get offended by that then it's something they have to deal with because in the real world, blokes snog each other.

Excellent post.

 

I thought Harvey19 had been treated unfairly.

 

He was given many chances to correct or clarify what he was saying. He declined, so really we can only draw inferences on what he said.

"We are committed to developing and promoting equality of opportunity and inclusion in all that we do."

 

But its not for people that don't want to wear these badges.

Badges are silly.

Most people have grown out of wearing them by the age of 12.

They should give people a choice between "gay pride" or a "I love straight sex" badge

 

It should be equal

Good idea. Why not?

The sentiment behind a "I love straight sex" badge would be viewed by many as a churlish sign of disapproval of same sex relationships.

In what way is I Love Straight Sex equal when the other badge doesn't say I Love Gay Sex?

Do you not understand what equal means either?

I was being a bit facetious but my point stands.

 

There are so many communities that we can all say we support, why does the LBGT community get exception.

 

Can i wear a badge saying "I support the Mormons" or "Get rid of the monarchy"

 

Just keep all that stuff out of the work place.
