I realise that what I've said isn't what you want to hear.


The problem is that what you've said isn't what you claim you've been
saying, and it isn't what you want people to think of you.

Having shared a flat with a lesbian and her bisexual partner, I think
you are quite wrong.


I said, 'more likely'. I was generalising. Your single instance goes
against my assertion, but does not overturn it.


It was an entry into a different community rather than a single
instance. I suspect that I have a lot more knowledge of the subject than
your postings show you to have.

Someone I know once slept with a double glazing salesman. She always has
an opinion about windows.


They're probably just an open and shut casement to her.

I say 'can' because oddly I think many couples do survive this. 'Coming
out to your wife' must be interesting. I gather wives are more concerned
about fidelity than orientation however.


On a crude but unavoidable practicality, I'd expect a wife in that
position to have a sudden concern for hygiene. (I trust there is no
need for me to elaborate).

No, there aren't.


That's a bit categorical isn't it? All this is beyond my area of
expertise but the very fact that homosexuals make a big song and dance
out of the business of "coming out" must logically mean that at one
time they were "in". Whether this amounts to a change in their true
underlying nature or simply an overt recognition of it I couldn't
possibly say, but it's certainly a lifestyle change.

The very fact that you think people feel they need to "come out" strongly
implies that you believe homosexuality to be inferior, and that people
need to admit to it.


It seems to me to be the homosexuals themselves who feel the need to
make a thing of "coming out". There was an actress in the news about a
week ago who did this by making an announcement at some event or other
and it was in all the papers. My first thought was "Who?", and my
second was "Who cares?"

Other stuff snipped.

No comment on my suggestion that it is a recent story awaiting a
decision. Quote from the BBC web page.

"Northamptonshire police have issued a statement saying: "A
61-year-old man was formally interviewed under caution in April 2013
in connection with alleged fraud offences. A police file was submitted
to the CPS in November 2013 and we await their decision."

and not a 40 year old resurrected by the DM for who knows what reason
(2015 general election possibly)


btw Bill did you mean to x-post to two groups?


Yes.


Only two. Such restraint g

Anyone reading this
who is in an entirely satisfactory gay relationship please don't take
that the wrong way. It's a generalisation only.


Do you seriously expect that to absolve you from criticism??


Yes I do.


Delusional then?

There are! Blimey I know four!


No, you don't.
Nothing in those stories confirms that those people were gay at any time.



I don't know whether their actual
sexuality has drifted, somehow I doubt it.


So in what way is it 'once'?
Can you at least try to think coherently?


Oh come on. Don't get mad.


Stop being patronising.

(A typical hetty trait, in this domain of discussion.)

It is patronising and demeaning.

Best to just shut up before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.


I realise that what I've said isn't what you want to hear.


Oh, the irony.
