This is just a posting.
Homophobia is something that people create and use, it can be a physical attack on someone
or a verbal attack, either way it hurts a lot. As a gay person, I or we can sometimes be on the losing side, since we`re a minority, I`m posting this so that if at anytime you see somone
getting harrassed, pushed around, either on the street or in a club because of their sexuality or any other reason, remember, that person needs your help, what if it were you, would you want everyone else to stand back, and do nothing and just laugh at the homo with all the other butch real men.... I wouldn`t
Remember that could be your friend, family member or even your future child.
This isn`t a post to get attention, just to make people aware, that as gays, we do
need your help, even in Geneva, Thanks for listening.

Wow, it looks like sthg bad happened to you. Sorry.
Good post and you are right; one thing which I find shocking is the lack of reaction by people sometimes. But not only when someone gay gets harrassed/abused/etc., the lack of reaction in general when it happens to someone whether it's in the street, park, bus, etc. It's as if people were saying : I can't see, I don't want to see, because they are scared they might get hurt as well? Sure, it might happen but then if it were you, who were being attacked, you might be happy someone reacted.

I am so sorry to hear of your problem. You know in High Society it is extremely difficult to find A charming handsome man who is NOT gay ! You obviously have a lot of class I wish you well

Thanks guys for your replies
I guess there are people who care
and notice, I don`t mean to make a big deal out of it
But you can`t really ignore it when it happens to
you or someone you know, It`s just that in Geneva
you would not think that this kind of thing happens.

Homophobia is really one of the most worst thing on earth.
I'd like that a lots of people watch a documentary called "The Making of Me" made by the BBC with and about this fabulous and amazing guy named John Barrowman... (another Doctor Who reference  )
They would understand that gays are not different, that they don't choose to "become" gay, that they are normal people like us.
Take care.
Bertrand (who hope that he wrote what he was thinking about...)

Following Whovian's posting, I'd just like to say that I sort of pity 'homosexuality'; for those concerned haven't found out what a wonderful thing it is to be in love with smne of the opposite sex ...Following this remark, the best thing of all is to be head over heels in love(!), no matter who with...
With time, I hope you find that CH is quite tolerant towards all types of people ...Stay happy!... :-) J.

This particular thought is actually pretty funny. Similar thing could be said about the heterosexuals: for those concerned haven't found out what a wonderful thing it is to be in love with smne of the same sex
Oh well. When my brother came out of the closet, over 20 years ago, it took some time for me to adjust. Homosexualism wasn't so out in the open as it is now. It felt strange to see him holding hands with his boyfriend, let alone kissing him.
Seeing them kiss and cuddle feels still a bit strange. Not bad, just strange. I have never had problems accepting his orientation, though.

Hey Julian T
You`re the only one we feel sorry for
After all, when you meet your next Boyfriend
I am pretty sure you`ll feel sorry for yourself now
as we do, for not knowing what it`s like to be with someone
of the same sex.

nP6TWoUB6ijz... Nice posting. :-)
Moonfleet... I consider your remark as pure provocation - smthg which (believe me) you don't want to incur... Me 'meeting a boyfriend'(???) - Dream on!!!... I'm extremely happy as I am, heterosexual - and proud of it, and whilst I'm quite open-minded and tolerant about homosexuality (w several friends thus way inclined), I'm eager to settle down and continue the blood-line... So don't classify me as 'in' your group...
Not participating in this discussion any further. J.

Hello Moonfleet – many thanks for your mail ! You know Julian is such a nice person – he would never Of intentionally meant to offend, he was just expressing A love for the ladies ! & I am sure you had no intention Of offending him either, you were being a tiny bit too sensitive there As I told you by mail, I have many gay friends, when I Am with them – it does not occur to me to think of them Differently or to treat them differently, the ‘issue’ gay Never even crosses my mind, they are friends and I enjoy Their company (and I love their pink car

Moonfleet, Thanks for sharing. I know that there's all kinds of phobias & hates out there, which all of us most probably faced at some point in our lives. It sucks, but it's a reality...At least, I think you'll find that on glocals, on average, most folks are more free from prejudice than in other places. I'm not trying to get too personal here, but just to get a better understanding of the topic: what sort of homophobia acts have you heard of / seen? Thanks again for sharing, Nir

*Sigh*
I always get sad when I hear of violence, especially blind and meanless (some violence can be justified in some situations, such as self-defence - but this is another debate, and still doesn't make it cleaner).
No matter who it strikes: gays, lesbians, heteros (I don't like the term "straights" because it means anything else is "twisted", which is not the case), people of different colours, beliefs or origins, violence is despicable. No matter what.
It happened quite many times that people I met thought I was gay (50% of met people, to be exact). I don't feel upset of that. I fact, I consider that as a compliment: gay friends of mine or who I know, are men of good taste, lovely and sensitive. I do not consider them as different (why should I?).
