Does every advertisement have to be for the queer beers?

McClane

Lads in all sweet fairness i'm going to have to start browsing this site with lynx.

I'm no problem with gays/lesbians but for god sake those ads are starting to turn my stomach. I have a gay friend and he knows better then to do any of that around me/other friends. Its called being polite.

I don't mind the lesbians ad but clearly it offends other people, the 2 men ad is turning my stomach, literally.
Have some respect for other people and their wishes. Get rid of or at least tone them down.

edited -> Not having good day so not in best of form. Seriously though why do there have to be so many of them ? And on a side note, why (my friend included) do gay people have to shout about it and make it 250%+ obvious they are gay ? Its like they have to make sure everyone knows about it.

Of course, straight people are NEVER at pains to point out their sexuality, with their babies and their marriage (joke)

I myself have never attended a QUEER BEERS and would have loved to go this time
unfortunately my parents are coming to visit and though I'd like to bring them along, I'm not sure they would be prepared to meet Azezil just yet......

I'm open to correction, but I think this thread is a fine example of :


For those who oppose the ads for fear of being tarred with a gay brush if a colleague were to see them looking at a page with an ad Queer Beers on it then the answer is simple, don't look at boards and do some work !

McClane

1. Queer Beers, Gay Beers, Whatever. I don't care what it says.

2. The picture with the S&M is distasteful and disgusting. Do you honestly think i care whether they are gay or not ? The pictures a) is going to get me in trouble at work b) makes me feel sick looking at it and c) Makes boards look like a porn site for gits with a fetish for leather.

Why can't the ads be toned down ? I'm hardly speaking for everyone here but having to look at two gimps in leather is NOT my idea of a daily trip to boards.
Why do we have to put up with it ? This isn't a gay site.

really and would your or your other friends not be physcailly affection with
your hetro lovers in front of him? ensuring your equally polite ?

if two people are going out and sneak a quick snog while out what harm.
Turning it into a converstaion stopping look at us show piece is not on
no mater the genders of the couple invovled.

Still I bet you would see less snogging at a Queer Beers then you would at any other boards.ie related beers.

No, it's called complying to the warped world-view of a small-minded fool. I'm surprised your friend hasn't told you to **** off. I would.

really?
is it not more lightly you'd get in trouble for surfing the web when you're supposed to be working

makes me feel sick looking at it

why?

it is
didn't you get the memo?

This isn't a gay site.

no
it's a site for everyone, that's everyone, not just homophobic cavemen who’s sensibilities might be a tad on the delicate side

tbh, i think this should be put in your signature, McClane

Male & Female = natural
Male & Male = Not natural and sickening to alot of people to watch. I've no problem with it just NOT in front of me.

This isn't a straight site either.

No its not, its everyones site but according to a lot of people everyone doesn't include people who don't want to see that kind of crap on the banners.

Nevyn

Yoink !


who says it is un natural.
Falling in love or in lust is perfect natural.
Just cos the bible only mentions adama nd eve does not mean there
was not a Josh and Steve there too.

Many races and cultures have always had respect and place in thier
communites for those who were attracted to thier own gender or
who felt they were the wrong gender.

Trouble = People thinking i'm a) looking at porn or b) queer. I don't want anyone to think i'm looking at porn and i don't want anyone to think i'm queer.

Is that hard to comprehend ?

makes me feel sick looking at it

why?

Why are you gay ?

I'm homophobic because i don't want to see 2 men being intimate and i don't want to see 2 gits in leather on a banner ad ?

Is it any wonder i have no respect for people/groups who play the victim ?

This is one guy wearing straps. I notice you're specifically not complaining about the one with two girls which is a bit more risque and certainly not natural either by your logic.

Not natural? Interesting. How do you know? Why do most higher mammals do it? Do you have a facility for logical thought, or are you just regurgitating stale prejudice?

I don't want to see paintballing! I went paintballing once and wasn't keen. I'd better start a whiny protest on Feedback!

Don't bet on it. His definition of natural doesn't seem to comply with normal definitions, and I think logic is more something he's heard of than something he actually employs.

McClane

For example, 30 years ago homosexuals would go to prison, yet not many people objected to that. Today, pedophilia is the main taboo, and bigots are now active in preventing pedophiles from expressing their sexuality - even though most pedophiles do NOT want to molest or harm any child, but a simply attracted to them.

Oh yeah i really agree with you now.

So most pedophiles don't want to molest children, they are just attracted to them ? Oh THATS ALRIGHT THEN!

I'm not complaining about it because i don't find it disgusting. If it was 2 men i would find it disgusting.

ecksor, if a few of us donated to your beer fund, could you put that ad in McClane's sig?

Ah. I'm vindicated. Thank you.

McClane

Look lads i have no problem with gays, i have no problem with what the ad's are advertising. I have a problem with the imagery used in one of the ads.

Is it such a bad thing to ask it be toned down ? Or to even complain about it ?

I second this and would also offer to buy you a few Pints myself on the next boardsbeer if you ban that muppet. As it seems to be distracting him from his work and is getting him into trouble, you could also see it as a public service

BTW, thos two chicks Rule!!!!!!
