I guess the making of anti-gay comments isn't translating into an opposition to lesbian and gay adoption rights.
It's the whole attitude - anti-gay, anti-gay weddings, anti-gay adoptions.
A general feeling that it's just wrong to be gay.
Perhaps it is a left over attitude from more religious times?
But I can assure you it's very widespread, just not in the liberal-elite circles we move in, eh? (David Blunkett's "liberati" again).
Originally posted by VargI'm aware of a general anti-gay prejudice some people still harbour. We see it in these forums, as well as society in general.

My point is just that this doesn't seem to translate to any sort of opposition to the idea of same-sex adoption, in my experience.
This doesn't, logically, make sense (from their point of view), but I can only say what I see...
Originally posted by VargA particularly cruel example was furnished by a handwritten note affixed to the wall of the passage leading to a South London basement bedsit I once stayed in, admonishing residents, "Don't put fags out in the corridor".

(A fag is of course a cigarette, Seitse--just in case you didn't know).

Apparently if you play the B-side to 'Wake me up before you go go' backwards, you can hear clearly a harsh critique of a pair of curtains George once witnessed in Simon Le Bon's living room.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageOk... we get it. You're a George Michael fan. Ok ok! You made sure the above message contained both the word 'gardener' and 'uphill', coincidence, of course! But you want your fans to read between the lines. Fine.
I don't know. I found the customs of South London confusing. Why could the burnt mound of rubbish in the garden not be touched? Why did the wind always blow uphill?
Can you not see that noone cares about your sexuality!!
As long as you keep making catchy records with a funky beat, you're ok by us 'Yeah yeah... ooo!'. Brilliant.
