Just as an aside, but something that needs to be very carefully looked at, is the way some of these headlines are worded.
emphasis mine.Quote:
The president of Australia's first gay soccer club, Sydney Rangers FC, has called for one-year bans for all fans involved in the display of an anti-gay banner during the Sydney Derby.
but 'anti-gay'?
because somehow the debate quickly shifts to whether this is 'anti-gay' or 'hate speak' rather than focusing on the idiots that did it.
Depends on your POV, as a hetero white bloke I would call it homophobic/derogatory. I wouldn't see that as specifically anti-gay.
Not being gay myself however, I couldn't and wouldn't assume how anyone in the LGBTQI community felt about it.
Homophobic? how? Put long hair in the pic and thered be another group up in arms.
but id be more focused on the anti family sentiment unless you like your kids to see that stuff, which noone else in here seems to mind.
yeah see for mine this is the real target.Quote:

I see the banner as meaning that Graham Arnold is a cocksucker, with the undertone of implying homosexuality in a negative way (which of course is wrong in this case, because he's just a total khunt, which has asshole undertones without the homosexuality aspect). I can't speak for the QWERTY community or whatever the acronym is, but I doubt they consider randoms calling them cocksuckers in public to be a compliment...
The fact that it would be considered sexist if it was depicting a woman actually shows it was homophobic for mine.Quote:

the only thing better than outrage culture is the outrage shown by blokes that get offended by people being outraged by things

We haven't come too far though. Throughout most houses at Cambridge University between 1890-1950's economics was called the gay science simply because an overwhelming majority of the academics participated in same sex relations. On the other hand though, these same people were very influential with respect to public policy / government and would never have condoned same sex relations between anyone in the general public. In fact, the many of these academics even had wives.
It all goes back to the divide and conquer strategies of many religions and not only has it captured religious types it seems to have grabbed a few atheists and agnostics as well.
In my family I have several gay members and none of them or their partners would be offended by the poster, and none of them think gay marriage should be a priority given other aspects of society require far more urgent attention.
Hence, when people automatically assume that a few loud individuals speak for the entire group most times you are going to be missing the truth by a fair margin.
As Plague alluded to....the banner doesn't need validation from any group.
It was just "offensive"....would have been the same if there was a big hand giving "Arnie" the finger.
Agreed. It's in the best interests of the game to keep it family friendly. THe last thing the game needs is parents refusing to bring children to games because of the actions of a few idiots.Quote:
