How exactly are gay people oppressed in British society?

Oh ffs am I really needing to answer this KKKarboot?

[From Despair To Where?]

Yeah, a bit too much disingenuous posturing by brobota.

You dont need to make posts like this. Just not needed. You know the answers, you want to act cool, maybe get a few bites, but seriously, its not a good look.

No!

I wanted to hear exactly what DD had to say about it and then see if changing a few words (i.e. a different sexual preference) made a huge amount of difference

This is why the question is worded exactly as it is!

I was listening to a conversation between a couple of comedians (Jimmy Norton & Patrice O'Neill, which I can link to if needed) which had the same line of questioning.

Also, people are NOT honest about this sort of thing

I guess in the hands if a skilled comedian, it can be thought provoking and can generate an interesting debate


However, in the hands of a tedious edgelord....

I'd actually suspect the bigger problem is with other pros rather than fans. There's no history of homophobic chanting* although much of that would have been obviously due to the lack of openly gay players. There will no doubt be the odd guy who shouts stuff out, but I really don't think it'll be an issue at all.

* Brighton fans get stick, but the assumption there really is that the fans aren't gay, not that they are.

I disagree with the homophobic chanting part. And as a Brighton fan we’ve been at the end of tons of slurs. Even this year Arsenal banned two of their fans for abuse. It’s not as bad as it used to be with the whole stadium “does your boyfriend know your here” and “we see you holding hands” it was more prevalent in championship and league one.

I actually think other pros will be OK with it. With most players being under 30, I reckon they'd be less tolerant of homophobia because, well, culturally its tolerated less.

I can imagine there being a few dinosaurs left at board level, though.

Hasn't Conor Gallagher had a load of stick this season? Graeme Le Saux famously got loads of stick and neither of them to my knowledge are even gay. It may not be as widespread as racism but it definitely exists and I think its naïve to think it won't happen again. Let's just hope it doesn't get directed at Daniels and if it does its taken seriously and fans get banned for life as they should for racist chants.

Not to mention coaches and managers.
