I dont know of any HOMOS but do know of a Transexual working for a local courier service, had the full works to make HIM look like a HER… Rather disturbing…
I also know of a person who had the op, and their posts on this site are no different to any other drivers, and as far as I can gather, their work output is no different either, working just as hard as anyone else.
So how does someone changing ■■■ become rather Disturbing■■?
I have never once deemed in important enough to enquire about what they do in bed (Ok I a small lie I may have discussed this with the now current wife)
I have worked with drivers who were openly gay, and lesbian, and the amount of difference to how they did they job compared to their ■■■■■■■■■ was precisely and exactly NIL
Its a none issue and totally irelevant to their job as a driver. I have no idea what any of you get up to in the bedroom, straight or gay, and thats none of my business either and to be honest I really dont want to know.
Well, on a serious note, I’m gay. Dont hide it but most people wouldn’t guess `i was either. Best way to deal with it in this industry is to not give a ■■■■ what people say and join in with the usual ■■■■ taking. Most drivers Ive worked with are surprisingly unconcerned by it.

The point I am trying to make is that I have never knowingly met one and I feel that is very strange in this day and age, I have however met gay people of other proffessions and I have no problem with what ever thier particular ■■■■■■ prefferences and as you quite rightly stated you have no interest and niether have I but I still feel the question should be asked.

I am glad to hear that, that is the very point of this thread, I have no intention of making judgements only conversation and debate.
I know a few, in fact I know a couple on this site too.
I also happen to think that these days, because its generally more socially acceptable, they don’t put on the voices or exaggerated hand movements (careful now!) but just act like the normal blokes they are.
In fact in my last job, a guy I worked with on a daily basis was a homosexual and I never knew until I’d been working there for 3 years when he commented he had a new boyfriend.
The idea of being a homosexual doesn’t appeal to me at all, in fact one of my gay friends told me he found the idea of heterosexual ■■■■■■■■■■■ “disgusting” as long as they understand I might have a similar opinion on what they do in bed then I don’t care. We all get on with our jobs, have a laugh and thats it.

The fact you know they used to be male, the fact you used to see them wearing old oily jeans one week then the next there wearing female clothes, high heels and the fact they still have stubble…

Nice post Alex just the kind of comment I was hoping for.

Good man, live and let live. Who are we to judge.
IS EDUCATION ON ■■■■■■ PREFERENCES REALLY SUCH A BAD THING?

I think this question is the same as colour and relegion at the end of the day this is a lonely life and we make friend where we can, if we excluded all who are diferent, we would be very lonely what happens in your cab or home is your business.
In Belgium & Italy the local gay boys drive around the lorry parks flashing their lots or whatever, if they didn’t pick up any action then they would be doing it elsewhere.
Me, no I’m not, although I do have lesbian tendancies. I wouldn’t care either way unless I was double manning with one, I wouldn’t be allowed to team up with a fit little 21yr old bird who had a penchant for small lycra tops & hot pants, so why should a gay driver be able to ■■■■ after my Chippendalesque body
Seriously though, who cares? As long as they don’t describe their fudgepacking sessions in great detail or speak with one of those silly put on camp voices
