Are We Ever Going To Get Away From Gay Tv

[FrillyPancake]

Sorry guys. Am quite traditional, but I accept everyone I do. As they are whatever they are they are whatever WE are.

But,

Why is TV full of non heterosexuals. Mainly gay people these days.

Is it only me that feels this?

Well me and my husband that is?

Why is hetrosexuallness not being celebrated the same way it's like tables have turned big time?

Just my opinion....

//Togo...because its the word that gay people chose for themselves?//

I am sure that is a laudable state of affairs Woof. But what about my own use of the word, now being denied to me in, perfectly innocent conversation or correspondence? We are accused of "cultural" misappropriation if we wear the wrong hat, how come certain sections of the populace can take words and phrases that they approve of and prevent the use of other words that they feel don't touch the right buttons. Just off for a fag and a ginger biscuit and to check my bolognese mince.

[ummmm]

Usually people who post threads like this expect most people to agree with them.

Gness that is so sad, I would be so angry and out for blood if any hurt my wee stepbrother! I think I would serve time!!

[gness]

Sickening, Islay......I'd like a few minutes with them......x

If I could clap my hands and remove every gay and bi-sexual person from the face of the earth.......how would it improve your life?



Easy.
I could spend more of my time on other non anti gay based threads.

[gness]

You're only being denied using the word as you'd like, Togo because you choose to be.......and because you relish being a victim....x

[jno]

not really, hc, it was around long before acronyms were everyday things

[gness]

Poppycock, Talbot.....you wander all over the site..... ;-)

Please engage you brain before posting, you are barking up the wrong tree, nowhere have I entered the running quarrel on this thread about the use of the word 'gay'.

[hc4361]

Acronyms were very popular in WW1, jno.

Oohh goody I have been awarded victim status. Now I have much more leeway. :))

[jackthehat]

Togo - Your very glib 'victim status' comment does, in some part, acknowledge that gay people have been, for many years, victimised (even benignly.......if that is possible).

I have been the 'victim' of more than a little *humorous horseplay* at the hands of people who think like you over the years.....and I can say without fear of contradiction, it ain't in the least bit funny!

[Togo]

Weeell you started it Jack. Just thought "we" might as well have our penny worth. :))

[jackthehat]

No, I didn't, Togo.
But it's obvious that you cant resist posting your trite 'observations' or 'humorous homily' whenever the opportunity presents itself.

// //Togo...because its the word that gay people chose for themselves?//

when Queen ELizabeth ( the real one ) called Drake 'a gay dog' she didnt imply 'he whistleth the live long day' but more that there was the hint of the devil about him. How racy ! oops sozza 'race' has been hijacked.....

so anyway 'gay' has been hijacked for around 500 y.
dubbl sozza

[Togo]

That may more likely have been in regard to the "dog" adjective pp. They also had salty dogs. (not the Korean Navy you understand)

[bednobs]

i am still intrigued by this comment "pointing their hands at people in such a feminine way"

[Togo]

Palm upwards Bednobs? (^_*)
