Ahhh, but Frankie... I don't see me making inappropriate suggestions about the sex life of puppets and the like.

You mean you've never delved into the underground addiction of... Muppet porn?

There is a reason Animal is named Animal.

Topic Starter: "How & When did you come out!?"

[Si-Co]

..or conversation stopper, as it turns out!

[Liz]

"Coming out" sounds so formal and makes it out to be a big thing. If I want to shag women, I won't make a big announcement about it, I'll just do it.

Thats the way to do it. Go with the flow.

Warning soapbox alert. Don't read if you know it'll annoy you.

Why can't we have a relationship room? Because that would be naff, so's a gay/ [insert your preffered term] room. We should all stop obsessing about these flipping (polite term only) labels. We can't complain about being stereotyped and pidgeon-holed (no jokes please) if we huddle together into ever smaller groups. "I'm no different to you but you can't join my club, it's only for us". "I'm no different to you, I demand you respect my differences."

Being gay is as normal as being straight (which I know plenty knuckle draggers need to realise). Why proclaim that gay H&A fans should have a bonding session? Come on, next a board for Mexican/cheese hating/Trekkie H&A fans? Blue Peter badge holding/C5 driving H&A fans? What's the point?

It's a serious question, not rhetorical so go for it.

Why can't sexuality be one big ball/pot/whatever? We all have the same basic wants, shouldn't we just be adults and discuss it as all the same thing instead of making it something we only talk about with 'our own kind'? Let the aforementioned knuckle draggers be the outsiders, if we all talk together then we can all show them the finger together.

It's late and I've rambled but it's been bugging me for ages and this is the first forum I've come across where the main reason for being here doesn't have anything to do with this topic and we therefore already have something in common with everybody else on the board.

If you listened, thanks.

I agree completely.

I understand the need to discuss issues, but I don't see why there should be a thread isolated for gay/bisexual/transgender (is this even relative to sexuality?) to discuss 'things that gay people do'. There would never be a 'straight thread'. Alright, there is some prejudice left in the world and, as a minority group, being gay merits more discussion than being straight in theory, but threads like this to me seem to undermine some of the key arguments built around the equal rights issue.

There would be a straight thread if someone made one.

The thing, as I see it, with gay thread/clubs/organizations etc vs. no straight thread/club/organizations is that gay people are still discriminated and killed because they are gay/transgendered/etc, while it is not known, not to me anyway, that someone has been killed by gay people for being straight. Gays/bis/etc therefore have a greater need to feel accepted and loved/care for for who they are, and I think they seek more together on the basis of their sexuality as well as ohter "interests" (like footbal, they like to knit etc) that straight people do.
