He said it to a man though. He is implying that Gronk is used as some sort of receptacle for the semen of other men. Itā€™s probably accurate but itā€™s still a gay slur imo.
Did you just assume Gronkā€™s gender you Bigot??? FFS!!!

And here we are, again. Merkins in the Pride thread being merkins, then denying they are merkins via their weasel words. All liking each others posts.

I reckon youā€™d be less likely to be targeted if you considered your tone and attitude on here. You come across as a condescending know it all and people react to that.

Another stalker who only replies to my posts to points score. Never adding to the conversation, just here to play opposite day.
Yeah i havent been active in this conversation .... ive learnt the last couple of years that its probably not worth expressing my personal opinion on this forum - just couldnt really be f**ked any more. I post far less now.

But if you really want some opinion, lol ...

I havent read all of this, skipped pages, but i believe this discussion started with a comment about the murals popping up over sydney .... specifically the one of an imp with a teddy bear head in the heart of sydney. Then progressed to claims that is too much and things are in our faces. Which i think is a fair comment, in relation to that.

Do people think that is appropriate? ... or is it ok in light of it being presented as a pride thing?

I dont think that mural is appropriate. I dont think over sexualising anything in public is apprpriate, hetro or homo. Take the rainbow flag off that and present it as a hetro man and people would still be upset.

I dont think kids need to be intentionally presented with any sexualised things until they are much older. Just let kids be kids and be whatever they are. Its your chance to just be innocent and happy in life, let it be. Dont try and make them BE anything, just let them be.

ā€œPeople who react to thatā€ are literally 4 merkins who think that they have the right to dump their intolerance in the Pride thread on Mardi Gras weekend. All laughing and liking each otherā€™s posts.

Yet you are focused on my condescending toneā€¦.

How does a mural "make" someome be anything. There's a mural of a fish near my place - it doesn't make any kids be a fish that I know of...

People (adults) are just (still) scared of things that are different and they don't understand. The way some people seem to still behave around that and the opinions they have aren't respectful to minorities of people who are different from them, and not respectful to people of the future (young generations) who will thankfully be much more relaxed about these things.

I'd hoped we'd be better by now, but we are clearly not... but then I shouldn't be surprised, because people vote for intolerant religious f**kwits like Scomo and Perrottet in elections.

Lol, itā€™s not being shoved in Kids faces??? Disney has openly admitted their Ghey agenda that they are pushing on kids. It worked out real well for them when they tried to interfere with Florida and their bill to keep the
Groomers away from kids. We should be doing the same in Aus.

And calling him a homophobe really?? Oh thatā€™s right you are entitled to an opinion lol.

Everyone that doesnā€™t agree with this BS way of thinking is just labeled an ist, phobe or ism. So boring.

the problem with that is, some of those kids may grow up realiae they are gay and too scared to come out as Ā°its not normal"

normalising it can prevent a lot of other effects, like teenage suicide



edit, wow 7 pages since you posted that, busy night boys

I don't think they are intolerant. They are just pointing to some of the motives around Pride day that you appear to have a blind spot to. Its a shame that those points cant be rationally discussed without people being shut down and called a "homophobe".

The both sides position is your go. I get it and you wear it like a badge of honour.

You are ingnoring the juxtaposition of the timing of these posts. The lazy timing is deliberate and designed to ā€¦. well I donā€™t know what their motive is. It just doesnā€™t pass the pub test.

When Hiney used the word 'normal' that was an error, but one that I didn't dwell on given the rest of his post showed he is far from being a homophobe.

Absolutely agree that we shouldn't have a country where people are in fear of being gay. Tolerance is essential to any well functioning society.

However, whenever the pendulum appears to be swinging too far the other way its inevitable that some people with pre-disposed views will double down on those.

Its also likely that those without strong views might resent any attempts to re-define social norms, which is what is currently occurring on the topic of gender.

You don't know what their motive is yet you are quick to label them.

You should learn to understand both sides of any given argument. Empathy is a valued commodity.

So is that you, in this thread?

What is the "pendulum" you speak of? People having to face up to some internal fear that they'll be overrun by gays?

It's small minded and doesn't make sense.

And can you see at all how taking that position / allowing those attitudes and reactiosn contradicts your second sentence statement?
