Just thought I would enter this on behalf of sp1814, because I think he may be a little shy considering that he has been criticising me for repeating the same stories even though mine were years apart.

Well, Peter , I understand,so there! Advanced thinkers are 'mad' 20 years before acceptance but are looked upon as prophets if, looking back for five years from when they announced their opinion ,the world has agreed. Ibsen? The minority cannot always be right,but it is striking that so much of what we now accept was once what only a minority agreed with.

Everyone has principles
but Jesus taking it to the house of Lords on principle means
they are particularly expensive principles - think how many chocolate mice you could buy for kiddies etc. A contemporary of mine has just squandered £100k on a property dispute and THAT was only to the appeal court.......

"Actually, I find all these funny words and acronyms rather juvenile. If gays want to be treated equally, why make such a fuss about being gay - and why stereotype people? Doesn’t that encourage divide? I don’t understand that."
SANS is an acronym normally used on dating sites...(like NS for 'non-smoker').
The reason these words (bear, twink, otter, gym-bunny) start appearing is because within the gay scene there are a whole number of sub-scenes.
Think of 'gay' like 'rock music'.
Within rock, you have heavy metal, punk rock, death metal, rock 'n' roll etc...
It's a quick and easy way to align yourself...
Not a great analogy - but the best I can come up with at short notice.

"I have gay friends, and I've never heard any of those terms"
Because there's no real reason for you to know those terms. But I would bet you a pound to a penny that every gay mate you have knows exactly what a twink, a bear, and a gym bunny is.
Perhaps not an otter though. I only found out that one last year and I'm still not 100% sure that I'm not having my leg pulled.

This couple broke the law in discriminating against the gay chaps. Whether you agree or disagree about gay people is entirely up to you, but it doesn't alter the fact that the law was broken.
The Guest House owners have now taken this to the highest court in the land and at every stage they have lost. That is the way that the law worked in Britain. They are guilty of discrimination, pure and simple....nothing else matters.
Everything else about this case is just froth, especially the ignorant and offensive comments that have been made against gay people by some people here on AB today. This is why we have antidiscrimination laws in place. It isn't there to protect bigots.
