  1. You misunderstand me. I don't want to contact anyone. I just wondered if you could provide an example of a community in the US that has been 'overrun by gays' to back up your post.

    This you tube video may also be of interest to you...

    I know it's sometimes difficult for straight folks to move away from old stereotypes but that video is of no interest whatever to me nor I suspect to any of my gay friends.

    Now are you going to provide me with an example of a community in the US (just one will do) that's been 'overrun by gays'?

    Think of "overrun" as something less than a swarm of locusts and more like a pesty roach infestation...does this clear it up for you...?

    Apart from the implied roach insult It would do if you could actually name a few places that have been 'overrun'.

  2. Let's set a few things straight.

    After Mr Rigby's murder there was a huge anti Islam back lash in the UK. Multiple Muslim buildings were attached and set on fire. This was nearly completely hidden from the media to stop it escalating. Honestly this is true I know this for a fact.

    There are no anti Islam protests in London because we are now outnumbered by them.

    Can you give us the religious population demographic statistics for London please?

    You say that 'we are now outnumbered by them'. Do you have any reliable independent evidence to prove this assertion?

  3. Racial hatred usually employs a simple, stereotypical approach. So if a Thai Muslim doesn't dress like a Muslim, no one will know that they're Muslim.

    yes... however... if you are just a regular guy with arabic origin... it doesn't matter what religion you are... you are considered as a muslim anyhow.

    Sadly, you're correct. You don't even have to be Muslim, but just "look" Muslim or Arabic. When I was in the USA after 9/11, some Indian/Hindu guy got beat to a pulp because some hoodlums thought the guy was Arabic. Sad.

    We had the same in the UK. Men with beards and turbans were attacked because they were 'Muslims'. Just the same as paediatricians were attacked as kiddie fiddlers. There is no excusing the stupid amongst us...

    According to wiki the following are the demographics of the homosexual population of the USA. The area with the highest gay population seems to be the District of Columbia where the gay population is estimated to be around 10%. The area with the lowest gay population is North Dakota with around 1.7%

    When I was at school 'overrrun by xxx' implied that xxx had completely swamped the local population. 10% at a maximum hardly fits that criteria.

  6. Try immigrating to the US as a persecuted individual...there are communities in the US that have been overrun by gays...you will be protected there...

    Can you name one of these communities that have been 'overrun by gays' in the US please?

    If you will send me a personal message I will try to help you contact the gay community there...

  7. I was wrong when I said "few" militaries accept gay recruits--thanks for the link--but we're seeing mostly western style democracies on the list (as the intro points out). I'm surprised to see Russia on the list, but further research indicates that homosexuality was removed as barrier to military service primarily to prevent people using it as an excuse to avoid serving (aka doing a Cpl Klinger). (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Russia#Current_situation)... apparently recruits will find it very difficult to be openly gay in the Russian military. I wonder to what extent this is true of other countries on the list: de jure vs de facto acceptance. More important, I suspect that in many of these cases, acceptance of gay recruits did not reflect a voluntary, internal change by military leadership but the application of civilian/constitutional anti-discrimination legislation by civilian governments.

    I've no doubt that that many of those mentioned were affected by civilian legislation. That doesn't make it any the less right.

    In the UK it took a visit to the ECHR for it to happen. All the old buffers fretted and I think one actually resigned but everybody else just accepted that some of the people who they were serving with were gay and no longer needed to be dishonest in order to serve their country. It's not as though they weren't in the military before and all rushed to join as soon as it was decriminalized.

    Nowadays they attend gay parades in uniform and publish recruiting ads in gay magazines. Their civil partners get all the spousal benefits that straight partners do. They're still some of the best regarded military in the world.

  8. Not going to happen while a military government is in place...

    Actually it is much more likely to happen, and something that is being actively lobbied for by some groups.... Whether it happens or not is something that I don't know the answer to, but it is certainly far more likely than previously...

    Why do you think it's more likely to happen? Military regimes tend to be more morally conservative than the rest of society (the exception being those societies, like Egypt, where there is a large conservative religious element in the civilian population). The military outlook is all about self-discipline and self-denial -- sexuality and sexual orientation are to be left in the shadows (except where they may reinforce the image of machoness). That is why very few militaries in the world are accepting of gay recruits.
