Turkish Posted 16 February, 2021 Share Posted 16 February, 2021 Are we all enjoying it? I think it's great that we can all embrace this. Although why February? Why have they chose the shortest and coldest month of the year to celebrate the bright, colourful, rainbow people that we as a society benefit from?

If there are any I’m sure they will post on here to share their joy at their special Month. What’s a like being a gay poster on a modern football forum? I’d say this place is pretty welcoming and opening. No reason for them not to be open about their sexuality if that’s what they want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 16 February, 2021 Share Posted 16 February, 2021 I do wonder how the world is going to tackle the whole trans issue when a couple of male tennis players decide to transition. Supposing a couple of middle order ATP players like Tsonga and Evans came out and started smashing every female tennis event and every grand slam final was just those two. Can you imagine the likes of Serena and Osaka never getting beyond the semis and politely applauding the superior women who had beaten them again. Trans rights and feminism are basically locking horns, with people like J.K. Rowling and Navratilova proclaimed as trans-phobic by some. It's a debate which its pretty much impossible to come out of without being accused of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have to agree. I think LGBTQ+ month is a stupid idea but as it doesn't affect me I simply ignore it, avoid anything advertising it, don't buy products to do with it etc. Others who love it are then free to go nuts over it if they like. It's not an example of anything going mad. It's got enough corporations signed up to it that it must attract and fair amount of support. Good luck to them.

Plastic Posted 21 February, 2021 Share Posted 21 February, 2021 I just read this article, not sure why. It’s about a trans dad getting pregnant and having a baby. Anyway, the overriding impression I get is of mental illness and self importance, not a strong coherent identity. I also don’t understand how pronouns can upset people so much, but then I am over 40 now, so I guess I must have hit a generational gap. Tbh I found the whole thing pretty hard to comprehend, like reading a modernist novel.

Manuel Posted 2 March, 2021 Share Posted 2 March, 2021 Not sure if Tonic Housing is a step forward or a step backwards. I guess it must be reassuring for the residents to live somewhere where gay people and their interests aren't going to be judged by the others who live there. Seems a bit like segregation though and I thought society was trying to move away from that. And is it the case that you won't be permitted to buy a flat unless you qualify somehow? Again, seems a bit "separatist". Whatever I suppose, as long as everyone's happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
