Santy get a boyfriend...

Sadly a few of the homophobes around here are not taking the piss. They genuinely think that gay men only exist for sex, that gay men kissing is poisoning humanity and unbalanced, that the gay agenda is forced on straight people, that gay men should be lucky they're not strung up.

Amazing how lots of people who have been saying "I'm not homophobic...." stayed very silent at these blatantly disgusting bigoted homophobic posts.

Nah I'm going a bit of off colour piss taking. If it's not then by **** what kind of level of ignorance is that lol

Of course *you* would

He's some lad, that's for sure!

For someone claiming the "other side" are bigoted, maybe you want to review what you wrote?

I'm not sure what bile you refer to? Was this how gay people should go back to keeping their lives secret? Or directly calling them disgusting? Or accusations of "forcing their agenda" (granted that's not bile so much as sounding paranoid). What about thinking that gay people are poisoning humanity? All of that is pretty full of bile and I'm kinda ashamed that people think this is acceptable in this day and age.

Of course we don't have to go trawling over previous posters. Your own biased post where you refer to Santa's heterosexual relationship as normal (which one can only imagine you consider gay relationships as not normal, but I'll await clarification) tells us something.

Do any of the above examples seem "reasonable"? Is there a chance that maybe there is some homophobia here?

Calling out sh*tty behaviour is not what's killing boards.

and there is a whole post just above that one that was in favour of "reason", that addressed your separate points. But you just skipped over that one for some reason.

you never heard of internalised heterophobia? ....

.....

You might need a sign

Maybe your fellow protesters could do "save santa from sex" signs.

Amazing how so many stayed completely silent about some of the frothing at the mouth homophobic comments here. Saying gay men only exist for sex, saying gay men kissing is poisoning humanity, saying gay men are lucky they are not strung up.

Nicholas loved Jesus. And Jesus was 325 years old. Ok

I don't think many people here are going to be rushing out to buy Norwegian stamps as a result of this discussion. Sure, part of the point of advertising is to get people talking about your product. But absolutely nobody is talking about the Norwegian postal service here. The tie-in to the service being advertised was tenuous at best and the advert being talked about globally will do precisely nothing for the profitability of a state run public service operating solely in a country of less than 5.5 million people.

I thought it was quite a grim, depressing advert, tbh. The scenes of the man crying on his bed missing Santa were weird. I'm sure they were meant to be analogous to the loneliness and grief often felt by homosexual people when it was illegal to be with the person they loved. But I thought it was just horrible to watch. In fact it either showed Santa up as quite oblivious and cruel to lead this man on and hurt him so. Or the man as having some pretty big issues because if you are crying with real grief brought on by a relationship with a person you see once a year and have spent an absolute total of a few hours with, you really need to work on yourself before entering a relationship. Regardless of the main character being a man or a woman it was a grim depiction of love and their kiss at the end had the chemistry of a log.

Manchildren.

Sorry this is just absolute bullshit. There are lots and lots and lots of depictions of Santa kissing a woman; images, songs etc.

Its hilarious the way you say you would object to Santa kissing a woman but you never have objected before.
