Quote: tb "In your beloved 'real world' unfortunately, the actual evidence disagrees with you and says that there are far too many occasions when someone's sexuality is the precise and sole reason they are assaulted and sometime killed (though I can't think of a single occassion when it was because of their heterosexuality)'"
Years ago, I was beaten up by a gang of 'Tetley Bittermen' due to being a punk. Car pulls up, guys get out and give you a kicking. It was a common occurrence in Bradford in those days. The [ireason[/i for being attacked was of no comfort to you. You got attacked for being different. Gays do not have a monopoly on getting singled out.
On the subject of the Union player though, if he gives comfort to a troubled person somewhere then good for him. There is the Quentin Crisp film on this Xmas, now he was someone with bollox, a real brave man.
