Look at the size of this bloke....no wonder he hasn't had any trouble after coming out !

Lets hope others follow him....the days of bigotry are surely over now.

it's not something I've encountered, mamya. But then I've not enountered straight people leaping on straight people, or gays on gays. People just seem to use changing rooms for changing their clothes. Perhaps I have just been lucky never to have encountered the sort of locker room people like Trump are supposed to hang out in; but then I have mostly lived a very proper life..

Mamyalynne at 18:24, few give a hoot about other people’s lifestyles, but some do give a hoot when it comes to stripping off among people who may regard them as a potential sexual partner. As a heterosexual woman I wouldn’t want to share a changing room with men. Incidentally, in response to your post at 18:39, there has been no suggestion that ‘gay people may leap on straight people in changing areas’.

Ummmm says ‘ditto’ to jno’s comment at 18:34, so I can only assume she’s changed her mind since Thursday last when, talking about unisex changing rooms, she said that she wouldn't mind if there were separate cubicles, and agreed with another poster who said that she doesn’t like the idea of unisex changing rooms at all and doesn’t even like the idea of going into ladies only communal changing rooms in clothes shops.

No one here did mention leaping you're right -I didn't mean to imply you had.

Apologies for that impression.

It brought to mind the old 'Don't drop the soap' type remarks of old.Which haven't been on this thread, sorry.

[Mamyalynne]

Hit submit too quick - We're all different, nothing untoward about that.

[naomi24]

No problem.

[ummmm]

Naomi - I don't like getting changed in front of anyone, woman, man, gay, straight.

When I answered that question I was talking about me, about how I feel, and not talking for anyone else.

[naomi24]

Ummmm, //When I answered that question I was talking about me, about how I feel, and not talking for anyone else. //

And when I answered this question I was doing exactly the same.

[ummmm]

I didn't say anything about separate cubicles. I said as long as there were cubicles. Same as I feel about all female changing rooms, I would rather change in a cubicle. I don't care who's in the cubicle next to me.

[naomi24]

Ummmm, you didn't say 'separate' cubicles? Well, you didn't mean you'd be happy to share a cubicle with a man did you!

I don't care who's in the cubicle next to me either.

"I don't care who's in the cubicle next to me either."

As long as it wasn't Donald "Roving hands" Trump

[jno]

yes, I won't be changing in the Trump White House any time soon. (But you guessed that already.)
