Saasy has told me I am the only one on this forum who thinks there have been vile homophobic views expressed here. I thought I would do her the honour of conducting some research to see if her view is correct.

I have never seen a homophobic view expressed here that I would consider vile.

But you are quite wrong Len - in my 40 years of posing on message boards I have supplied plenty of evidence as to why staring the one-eyed snake in the face is immoral and damaging to society. I have posted hundreds of links that show that homosexuality; however I am unable to repost them because they have mysteriously gone missing (probably the gay mafia); is the downfall of civilisation and I personally know the gay population of the world and not one of them is in favour of gay marriage and none of them wanted the liberalisation of gay laws. *

I fear your irony will be lost on them, Trent ... they can't see beyond the end of their religious noses.  :(

Did this one eyed trouser snake sing 'Trust in me, just in me?'?

Indeed it did. Truly mesmerising ;)

Also reminded me of the vocal talents of Sterling Holloway.

If polyamorous relationships are freely entered into and consensual I don't see them as any of my business. But that isn't what we are discussing. We're discussing gay and bi couples who want the same thing that you have been entitled to for your entire adult life - the right to have a loving, faithful, monogamous relationship with or without marriage.

What is it about gay relationships that you think is so different to your own?
They don't have the potential for complete physical and spiritual unity that only a monogamous heterosexual relationship has.

I am sure gays in a long term partnership, like our Leonard James, would agree with you, NOT!  ::)

Why not?

Isn't that an incredibly ignorant, offensive, just plain damned rude thing to say about somebody's relationship? Would you like it said of yours if the boot was on the other foot?

Says who (assuming for the sake of argument that 'spiritual' is a meaningful term)?

I pity you and Spud. When I meet up with my friends tonight, I won't have to waste my time judging their relationship as wanting in order to feel good.

That's like saying 'they' don't have the potential to be this or that because of the colour of their skin.

I was thinking exactly that, NS. Statements like that say far, far more about those who make them than any 'truths' about relationships.

When my nephew gets married to his partner, I won't have to think anything more than love and support for them. I can't get over how awful it would be to either attend with the thoughts that Spud and Humph roll out, or possible worse not attend in a tizzy of disapproval. Seems utterly sad to me.

They don't know what they are talking about and never will unless they get out more and meet new people instead of merely reading so selectively and being theoretical about the lives of others.   'Armchair pontificating' fits  perfectly.

Dear Spud,

Good morning ya little wanker, so gay people can't have a physical or spiritual relationship, oh! sorry complete physical and spiritual, what ever that means, I am sure homosexuals have very physical relationships as for spiritual, has that something to do with your small minded little idea of God.

Every homophobic post I have read on this forum, two words are missing, Love and Happiness, you and your idea of God, this small minded little god you profess to worship are a disgrace, this god is stopping you from seeing the hurt and hatred you are spreading, thankfully your god does not exist, it is a product of your tiny little narrow mind, you and anyone who agree's with you ( good morning Humph >:( ) are a great adverts for atheism.

Gonnagle.

My father became quite homophobic when the strokes and the Alzheimer's took hold, racist and sexist as well. Was a tragedy seeing the love he had held for people become a burnt out shell filled with bile. How much sadder must it be to live through life like that. Worse having to repeat the empty 'love the sinner, hate the sin'  nostrum as if that protects you from your own corrosive little obsession.

Sad story NS and a bit scary too.  I've heard of that happening before.  It seems that things people may have heard throughout their life come out in words as if they mean it.  Never mind, as you say he was kind and loving all his life.

No excuse for any of us on here to spout such ignorant nonsense, especially when there is ample evidence to the contrary.

Rhi this is exactly how I see these people too.

They're nothing more than a self appointed, sanctimonious, holier than thou, bunch of shits, no better than racists.

Evidence to the contrary, ample or not, never stopped anybody from believing what they want to believe; the existence of young earth creationists in the world, for example, should tell you that.

Got it in one.

Lots of fold up tab A and insert into slot B-type of talk, but nary a word about love, commitment, sharing, respect, togetherness ...
