Oliver, I wasn’t saying you don’t have the right to have your say, I was just saying I don’t think it’s that bad. Perhaps mine was a snide comment, however when did I ever stomp on your beliefs? Not holding the same religious beliefs as you is not the stomping on yours. On a side note, my beliefs (o religion?) does not insist anyone live a certain way, and but into peoples lives. The same can’t be said for most organised religions. Please don’t mistake “stomping on” for peoples genuine concern that religions have far too much say in peoples lives and politics.

As for your comments about me, only a fool tries to silent someone with a ‘freedom of speech’ argument. As foolish as your instant assumption of my leftist politics, or assuming you know everything about these moles or their personal beliefs. There was nothing in my comment that assumed or demanded anything from you or Catholics. Your reply however did.

I agree pictures like this don’t do much for equality, but I don’t believe that was their purpose. The creators want to show that they personally don’ believe homosexuality is wring, despite their beliefs. That goes further to have the church accepted than anyone else, as the churches images has been tarnished lately. I ca’t blame any part of the church for trying to show the world they are accepting of everyone.

On a final note, what really pisses me of these days is how everything we (gay community) do is under the microscope. As soon as a single person does anything that a group disagrees with, we are bombarded with statements like “that won’t win you equality” or “no wonder you don’t have marriage yet”. People can do things without the permission of every gay in the country! Having to win equality by pleasing everyone is an oxymoron, and having all homosexuals branded because of what a few do is dumb. We are all individuals, some do good, some do bad. Equality isn’t about that.

As an Atheist, I don’t agree with you. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing :)

Also, if it wasn’t sex orientated, why would they be gay in the first place? Your comment is simply stupid and shows your lack of understanding (or hand over eyes syndrome) about this topic and indeed the world around you.why are you even on this site?

I guess the difference is when people talk about gay people, sex really is the first thing most people think about. Far more than when the average person sees a straight couple.

The question becomes, should we be so against harmless things like this, or is doing so what is keeping intolerance and bigotry alive? Why can’t gay men do something like this, without being branded by judgmental dicks? Straights do it all the time, and for a really long time.
