Quote: SmokeyTA "of course you don't. You have never known anything but that privilege. You have never been a Gay man subjected to homophobic abuse, you have never been a gay child working things out whilst their peers use Gay to describe anything and everything a bit rubbish, you have never sat there whilst other casually used those words as if they were no big deal to dismiss you and probably the people you love. Yet you feel able to dismiss concerns as no big deal, reactions as OTT, to question whether children asked how they felt actually felt that way or if they were just trying to make a splash.
That is your privilege.'"
No I just don't define myself by my sexuality or race. So if you're a white heterosexual male, you're privileged?
What if that guy was born with a disability, or has a mental illness or attracts a life threatening disease.
Still privileged then is he just because he's straight?
I don't judge someone as privileged/not privileged just based on one aspect of their life, I look at a whole person. I don't look at Kallum Watkins and see a black RL player......I just see a RL player. I didnt look at Gareth Thomas and see a gay RL player.....I just saw a RL player.
