The Oldest Gay In The Village

[joggerjayne]

How cool is this guy ...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-33741380

Every year, he takes part in the Pride Parade ... on his mobility scooter !!

He carries a banner saying " I'm the oldest gay in the village".

In the past, he has been given a criminal conviction for being gay. This weekend, he married his BF, to coincide with Pride Weekend.

That's the way to go when you're in your 90s!

JTH no victims? My gay grooms are covered in bruises & slashes from constant bitching.

/// Will we ever get to a state where parents accept that a grown man having sex with their seven year old son or daughter will be allowed to do so without any come
back? ///

Putting it on such a personal basis no I don't think it would, but in some societies in the world it would be acceptable, I suppose as it was in the ancient world.

/// But that has nothing to do with paedophilia (which is the sexual attractive to children who are
prepubescent). ///

So with the progression of time you don't think that this may alter, after all even now doesn't puberty start at different ages?

I am sure that children are much more advanced today than they were in my childhood days.

I give in

Women are raped by rapists
men are raped by homosexuals.

Sorted!

/// people who rape men or women are rapists regardless of whether they are gay or straight ///

Why do you fail to admit that gay men rape solely other men.

[jackthehat]

///Why do you fail to admit that gay men rape solely other men.///

But other men aren't solely raped by by gay men.....

Are you suggesting that all gay men are rapists?
I think you'd be a bit miffed if I claimed, as a woman, that all men are rapists...

[-Talbot-]

Men who regard themselves as straight rape other men...the important bit for me is they are above all other things a rapist.

You want to focus on the homosexual bit rather than the rapist bit...your prerogative, AOG,

Homosexuality, paedophilia and rape... The difference is consent. It isn't difficult.

[anotheoldgit]

/// BUT when I said that there are no 'victims' of Homosexuality, I meant to imply that there are no victims in Homosexual relationships....whereas a Paedophile can't have a relationship, in the same terms of mutual consent and understanding, and that those 'relationships' are the ones which create victims. ///

I had to read this over and over again to gain any sense out of it all, and confess I still cannot.

But let's try:

/// no victims in Homosexual relationships ///

Since it is well known that Homosexual relationships are not generally built on firm foundations, I presume there are many victims.

/// whereas a Paedophile can't have a relationship, in the same terms of mutual consent and understanding, ///

If this was true there would be no such thing as tight Paedophile rings.

Did I read this right?

[ummmm]

Another fail!

[anotheoldgit]

-Talbot-

/// Women are raped by rapists
men are raped by homosexuals. ///

No wrong yet again.

Women are raped by heterosexual men or lesbian women and men are raped by homosexual men or heterosexual women.

[jackthehat]

//Since it is well known that Homosexual relationships are not generally built on firm foundations, I presume there are many victims.///

Sweeping generalisation.....but let's ignore that for a moment.

Let me see if I can make it easier for you.
A gay man (A) meets another gay man (B) and says, "Do you want to be my boyfriend?"
gay man (B) says, "Yes, I think I would".
They enter into a relationship.....there is NO victim. Whether the relationship breaks down, or is/becomes disfunctional that is a 'different' type of victim from the 'Paedophile' relationship which involves an innocent and vulnerable child....the child is the true victim.

///If this was true there would be no such thing as tight Paedophile rings///
The other members of such a ring aren't the primary sexual focus of it's individuals. They have a common interest in children.

Again, have you ever taken part in any sort of Carnival?

/// Are you suggesting that all gay men are rapists? ///

No I am not suggesting that, and well you know it.

[jackthehat]

Why are you unable to understand that men are raped by straight men?

[RandyMarsh]

The definition of rape does not specify gender, all men have mouths and an anus, penetration of which against their will is rape.

This was a lovely thread, a happy story.

You asked:

"So with the progression of time you don't think that this may alter, after all even now doesn't puberty start at different ages?"

As I said before, I could see a very limited change, but if it happened, it would be to take 15 to 16 (possibly 17) year olds who have sex with each oyher

[sp1814]

(Accidentally hit 'submit')

...who have sex with each other out of the equation.

But a wholesale legalisation of paedophilia?

Absolutely never.

Or at least, if it ever DID happen, it would be at the same time that rape was legalised.

It's a non-starter.

You may be looking at the past, where gay people jumped from one relationship to another, because there were no social constructs which could define our relationships.

Now with CPs, marriage and a massive change in social acceptance, that is undergoing a major transformation.

Incidentally, the whole 'firm foundations / victim' thing is massively insulting. I am sure you don't mean to be, and that your ideas come from what you may have read in the media, but it's simply not true any more...

You don't need to have visited any carnival to realise which of these is the Gay one.
