However if someone you have known for years does tell you they are gay, is it going to make you feel any different about them, eg: their personality, sense of humor, and the friendship that you’ve had with them for years?
This I find an interesting question.
I’d be interested to hear some answers, but would add - Not only someone you’ve known for years, but also sons, nephews, cousins, fathers, uncles etc ■■?
NO MORE DOUBLE MANNING with them!!!
Seriously though I treat everyone as I would like to be treat, regardless of ■■■■■■ orientation, colour, disability etc, if anything changes I’ll be curious as to why naturally, but they’ll still get the same respect…and the same unbiased smack in the mouth if they do me a wrong un!!!
Judging the ammount of crapy food around in laybyes (or is that lay-bi’s) there are a lot more ways of getting a saw bottom out thier than you know what
I think I’d be genuinely worried if anyone on here DID call off a friendship or treat a friend differently just because they “came out”
Doesn’t bother me if someone, be it a mate or someone I’ve just met, is gay.
I happen to have a model train-set at home, I don’t expect people to treat me differently just because of my hobbies, just like I wouldn’t treat them different because of theirs. (unless it was knitting or summat like that of course )
There used to be a time when you didn’t have to tread on egg shells around people. You could say what you thought. If someone didn’t like it they would get over it.
Does this graffiti upset people - well don’t read it. Everyones just too sensitive to these things. Some times in life you are going to read things you don’t like and people will say things to you that hurt - ■■■■ happens, life goes on.

Political correctness my arse
Welcom to the real world!
Wow, what a thread!
Anyway, I agree with you madtrucker up to the point about some stuff offending people. When I walk into a public toilet and find the place full of homosexual fantasies plastered everywhere I DO find it offensive as im sure lots of other people do, many bogs have become no-go areas for straight people at night. Why should the majority stay silent about this type of stuff for sake of keeping the minority happy?
Its like a huge sub-culture that everybody is afraid to talk about incase they are branded a closet gay or a homophobe.
Sitting in Corley services this morning @ 8.30am having a coffee, window down looking for my phone that had found its way between the seat i had a bang on the door, bloke says looking for something ? i said yer my phone, he looks confused and wonders off,

Lot’s of negative aggression here chaps, i would say that those overly aggressive are trying the old ■■■■ trick of pointing the finger at someone else to deflect the suspicion away from themselves
Like the poser on the road, or the load mouth in the street, they’ve generally got less to offer and therefore have to subconsciously try and prove otherwise to the rest of us
Well i once read an interview by George Michael who openly admitted that he “cruised toilets” and places like Clapham Common etc for the thrill of ■■■■■■ activity with strangers - but if you also think about it logically and you have a gay or bi guy with a family etc where else is he supposed to get his thrills discretely ? I’ve been on a dogging site and it’s a bit similiar too that i guess.

Absolutly agree, specially Bi/Curious guys who are in a relationship with a woman, its the only place where they will experience what they want to experience. And at the end of the day if they really want to experience it they will take the risk of going to a public loo, layby or some other “cruising site”.

In broad daylight!!! I could understand if it was at night, but I think people being so forward as that is a bit too much. Its annoying and unfair to the blokes in the cab as people could get the wrong impression just by passing by!!!
Also the stereotypical image of a gay lad is like that of the Village People so its not exactly being discreet dressed in leathers.

Its just as well i am not a morning person
Some lighter fluid and a match needed
I find this really funny coming from an Irishman. The Irish, when it suits them are the most stereotyped, discriminated, maligned race in the Northern Hemisphere. They often join forces with any ‘minority’ groups to proffess how badly done to they’ve been. Actually, there will be some here who can remember, many public houses and guest houses used to have signs up saying…‘No Irish and No Blacks’ and funnily enough saying things like set them on fire !!! As you say previous, maybe its a British thing!!! Not English by any chance are you? They’re the real bigots huh ?!!
And Lankytim the answer to your original question is that it is probably ‘straight’ guys who write this banter in toilets, its seems to be a macho pastime of manual working men to engage in this sort of banter as can be witnesses by several posts in this very thread !!!

bloody hell it’s getting worse…do me a favour lads just breakdown on the hard shoulder from now on…no more limping into laybys and service areas…we’ll just have to take our chances with them that nod off…

what a load of crap, being queer is wrong, end of story.
i personally wouldn’t persecute queers, but a couple have had whatever was in my cup thrown over them when they’ve knocked on my cab door at night, and they dont come back neither.
back to the graffiti, its always been there, live with it.
there are a lot more ways of getting a saw bottom out thier than you know what
