Not accepting a homosexual as a roommate. Discrimination/Homophobic?

To be honest I'd have done the same?

Why? Because the flatmate had a stranger over without first asking me if I was ok with that. If a busty blonde emerged from the lads room I would have done the exact same.

I would have sent her straight into my room.

Probably because the friend fancied the flatmate himself

Why?

You think they'll molest you or something?

The fact that you're calling the person a homosexual signals to me you are not comfortable with gay people!

As someone already said, getting to know some gay people would actually take the fear and uncertainty away for you.

Personally I think it stinks that someone would turn down a potential flatmate just because they're gay. The guy was decent to have told you in advance, in case you weren't comfortable with it and it got unpleasant. He shouldn't have had to do, because his sexual orientation is his own private business, same as anyone else, but he's clearly better off for having asked.

If the potential flatmate was a male mate of mine, I'd be fecking furious on their behalf, tbh.

Are you afraid you'll catch the gay off of him?

I'm not sure. Definitely not, if we were looking for another lad to have the craic with in the evenings/go on the p*ss with etc.

Lesbians can be fun.

But would you be/get furious if your mate got turned down because they were actually looking for a middle aged man to share the house with? Not anybody young say. If not, why the difference?

You had your chance to have a civil debate on the subject but didn't take it OP.

Don't be thinking you can get banned from one forum and start the exact same craic here.
