Political correctness gone mad

This is a warning. Clear and unambiguous.

Derogatory terms have been used and subsequently deleted in this thread. It has been pointed out and notes have been left where words have been deleted by the mod team. Any further insulting or derogatory language will be treated as Inappropriate Language or Excessive Unruly Behavior and points issued.

You can complain about what is happening all you like but the use of, and in some cases repeated use of, derogatory terms and slurs and plays on the uses of words will no longer be tolerated.

Too late Mario, it already has been banned. It's been suggested that they portrayed a gay couple.

I have seen two kids, one of each gender, grow up gay. Even in lower primary school it was quite obvious that these kids were confused with the opposing forces within their body.
It is so very wrong of us more fortunate beings to shame, judge and call gay people names for something over which they have absolutely no control.

I don’t see anywhere that I judged that in any way shape or form or made any derogatory remarks.

Was the comment a general one or one based on my post?

Feeling the drive to be more feminine/masculine I can understand, or to not choose to be dominant in either, I can understand.

Dressing to suit your preference, can understand.

Being attracted to people of other/same/both genders, I can understand.

Choosing and insisting on defining as something that doesn’t exist - that’s just curiously odd.

The rest of it - identifying as a toaster etc - that’s mental illness being normalised and that opens itself to an whole heap of potential issues in the future.

Well most certainly if a Warranty Claim is involved.[bigrolf]

General Mike, because you touched on the subject emotively, I offered the scientific evidence that it isn't a lifestyle choice.

No argument there. However, it would appear, in recent years, that it has become somewhat trendy to be a homosexual or thereabouts. Have a look at the mardi gras down South.
I have two mates that have been a couple for 40 years and an in-law rellie of sorts, who has been in a same sex relationship for 30 years. I quite often catch up with both parties for laughs, drinks and tucker.
Funnily enough, none of these blokes have much time for the media type 'Rainbow Brigade'!
