Some gay people discriminate, recently a gay bar owner in London bared a gay person because he was bringing too many straight people in. Some black people discriminate, my brother's friend's mum doesn't like him hanging around with white children. But at the end of the day these people are in the minority and there are far less of them than the people who discriminate the other way around e.g. homophobes, racists.
OK, point taken, by both yourself and Dabeeeenster.....
One point that I note is that Dabeeeenster automatically assumed spikey is:
".....white, middle classed, and [I'm] opressed"
because of his comments
"I think we should organize some celerations during the year to let the whole country/world know that apart from gay people, straight people have their special needs also"
This is an assumption that he is white and straight. He could be as queer as a nine bob note and (as he is....) of east asian descent!
We need to stop making assumptions about each other.
I notice that someone who is (in theory) from a minority background (although he probably doesn't see it that way, from his comments) notices himself that we pander too much to minorities. It seems being a minority group has its advantages also, like being able to call xxx-ism against other people, when in fact it is them who is xxx-ist.
