    Gay people use to be so cool. Snazzy dressers, boiler rooms, hyper libabdos.

    Over the past couple of years they appear to have turned into a pack of over weight soccer mum's, protesting with their bill boards

    The Pope is the next protest..

    Someone has hijacked this cool set of people and replaced it with a group with the mentality of a Dublin cyclist

    The World is in a strange place right now

    The protest in the Remembrance Garden was organised on behalf of sexual abuse survivors by Amnesty... So it has literally nothing to do with being gay...

    Is this a new way to be homophobic?

    Where's the double standard though?

    Do you ever hear gay people say, "Ah yeah, that's OK cos they're Muslim".

    Yes. There is a sort of tolerance for Islam to hold a certain viewpoint, a sort of "that's just their way". Like the way you'd excuse your grandad referring to darkies, as they're from a different time.

    Every now and again Ali Selim sticks his head above the pulpit (pun intended), says something barbaric, gets slaughtered for it and then slinks away back into his Mosque.

    Y.

    Can you show me a link where, say, Colm O'Gorman, or Panti, have spoken in opposition to any of the lunatic fringe from Clonskeagh? Because they're sure as hell fairly vocal when the church speaks out about gay rights, or abortion, or women's rights.

    The same day that ISIS inspired lunatic ran amok in Dundalk Ruth Coppinger posted an anti Catholic church diatribe on her Facebook. Says it all really.

    A friend of mine is gay, yeah I actually know a gay.

    He came out around 1994, he is now going through a phase of " it was more fun being gay when it was a taboo"

    More fun when you were going against society's expectations and the church....

    Nothing like being naughty and doing something thats frowned upon....

    Myself and my gay bud love going to a river and flyfishing for seatrout without a legitimate licence, the adrenaline rush is alone is worth it.

    He doesnt like the whole way his gay life has been sabotaged by a bunch of twats...

    Well, yes. When Ali Selim made some less than enlightened remarks on FGM;
    https://twitter.com/Colmogorman/status/962083374079905793

    Selim then had to make several apologies and grovelling gestures in the media in the following days to correct his remarks.

    Like I say, the lunatics in Clonskeagh do their best to avoid discussing issues of morality or ethics in the public spotlight. Whereas the lunatics in the Church can't help but talk about it every chance they get.

    So of course you're going to hear the church being pilloried more often then Clonskeagh. If the church STFU and left society to its own devices - like Clonskeagh does - then you'd hear a lot less about it.

    I'd love to see some sources from you of respected figures (i.e. not randomers on Twitter) saying, "that's just their way" in defence of Islamic hate speech.

    I agree. Gay people should exist for my personal amusement and this isn't the case at the moment.

    And thread was started by a straight person to complain about gay people. They really spend a lot of time thinking about gay people... :confused:

    Some people seem to be as obsessed with gay people as the catholic church.

    True but then some crazies think otherwise

    https://twitter.com/Colmogorman/status/1027882568551686144?s=19

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    What's your basis for that? Anyone who has seen or heard him debate wouldn't tend to call him a moron. He also helped expose the church and leads Irish branch of one of largest human rights orgs.
