  • My Uni Has A Gay Week Going On



    Now I have nothing against gays, but why do they need a gay week? It's not as if we have a dedicated week for straight people. The Union was horrendous tonight...full of lisps and funny hand movements.

    So if they're calling this week "Queer and Here", I believe next week we deserve equality and a week of "It's Great to be Straight".

            Let them have their fun, they aren't asking you to join in after all.

            Besides the main purpose of events like this is to bring attention to their cause, that homosexuality is here and is staying. Heterosexuals do not need the same opportunities to forward their cause. Same with women's lib and men's lib. The latter is totally unnecessary as men have been the dominant gender on the planet for a long time...

              They can have their fun just so long as they don't start canoodling over the pool table.

              For what reason therefore does their cause need attention if it is no longer threatened?

              Homosexuals don't really either.

              What has happened in the past surely is irrelevant. That we can all enjoy equality now, regardless of the past, is what matters. Having gay weeks, or black weeks, or female weeks just threatens the very equality that has been strived for.

                Yes, they wouldn't want your cue to be 'chalked' too would they?

                Well there is still a lot of homophobia present in this society believe it or not, and until very, very recently, homosexuality was not accepted by law, or far more restricted than heterosexuality, and people need to be educated. And also to send out a presence, that those who are 'still in the closet' should feel safe to come out, that there are people in the same situation. Relatively speaking, their movement is still in an early stage. As opposed to Women's Lib, which is not as needed as in the past, and hence, is far less active nowadays, because there just isn't the same need for it. I hope one day that too will be the same for homosexuals.

                      Once again Infat proves what a completley insecure little ****er he really is.

                      The gay week is clearly a thing of fun, but then you are the kind of person who complains when a girl flirts with you

                      Don't gay people have just as much right to make out in public places?

                      Most homoseuxals will experience abuse in their lifetime, a significant number will be physically attacked.

                      Gay people do not have equal rights.

                          A "It's great to be straight" week may mean something after heterosexuals spend a couple decades fighting for equal rights.
                          Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                          -Richard Dawkins

                            so many people profess to 'being ok' about homosexuals, but think it's disgusting if two men kiss in public.

                            i go to a 'gay' club in Liverpool a lot (Garlands) because the music is good and the attitude relaxed, but a lot of the straight men who go for the same reasons can't handle men kissing!! it's a gay club, where do they want them to make out?

                              It wasn't just flirting

                              And there is an LGB Society, and I don't mind that, but this is just too in-your-face. I'm not the only one who dislikes it.

                              Don't gay people have just as much right to make out in public places?
                              Yeah, where did I say they didn't?

                              Most homoseuxals will experience abuse in their lifetime, a significant number will be physically attacked.
                              I bet most heterosexuals will be attacked too.

                              It's weeks like this "Here and Queer" that make them get attacked. If they went about their own business without forcing their sexuality in other people's faces, a lot less attacks would happen.

                              (Not that I condone the attacks or anything)

                              Gay people do not have equal rights.
                              They do.
