In what way is being open about your sexual preferences a problem? In fact it's the exact opposite - many people, especially young people, have suffered precisely because they feel they've had to keep their sexual preferences to themselves. Surely the aim should be to create an environment where people feel comfortable about being open about their sexual preferences and for it not to have any negative consequences. In a me me me society probably nothing wrong at all Thankfully we haven’t quiet reached such a selfish society Myself and millions like me were brought up what happens behind four walls by consenting adults remains behind four walls I no more want to know what you had for dinner than who you slept with or want to sleep with And in a free and tolerant country I shouldn’t have to listen to it In a free and tolerant country you shouldn’t have to listen to people expressing or being happy to be themselves? That doesn’t sound very tolerant? The real snowflakes on here are the squeamish souls who can’t handle people being open about their sexuality.

In a free and tolerant society you are not required to listen. Any more than you are required to listen to someone telling you they support SCFC *. The only possible objection to having a relationship with someone of the same sex (or talking freely about it) is the day it is made compulsory. We are some way off that. ( * Which admittedly can sometimes be a painful experience).

There is nothing intolerant about my above post And there is nothing wrong with living your life on a need to know basis and I don’t need to know who is shagging who and neither do millions of others And as soon as people realise that living your life in a reality bubble open to public scrutiny is neither clever or desirable the better the world will be

I don’t think being openly gay makes someone a prancing, look at me peacock. It just means that a person no longer has to live in fear of being discriminated against or abused.

So if you see a man and woman holding hands publicly, do they fall into this category? Should they not hold hands because you don’t want to see it, and don’t want to know their sexuality?

I don’t expect anyone to change there behaviour for me I don’t see the need for there behaviour in the first place As I try as far as possible not to upset or offend others in public is it wrong for others to take other people’s feelings into consideration also

Being seen together, holding hands, doing things that couples do.... you know, acting naturally in public....are you genuinely saying that you find this behaviour offensive and that the human race should be more considerate to you and not do it?????

To be honest I’m not partial to watching anyone play tonsil tennis in the middle of castle or tunstall for example, gay straight or any sexuality (extremely fit lesbians may be acceptable if I’m not with the wife 😉)

I love how even in this day and age, and this thread is a classic example, heterosexual men still attempt to mansplain homosexuality and the whys and wherefores of the politics of coming out. The irony in your post... Oh do explain. No irony intended.

I love how in this day and age, people feel the need to use words like mansplain That's because mansplaining still happens. Sorry to bore you. No irony intended.

The vast majority of people don't care if someone is gay or not so why make it into such a publicity stunt. You're gay. Fine. Move on.

What I don't understand is why we have a thread about a gay sportsman. In any other walk of life being gay is a none issue why does being a gay footballer fall into its own category of extraordinary. When Gareth came out it created headlines worldwide. When will young talks about it or Elton John or Ruth Davidson people shrug their shoulders. What is the fascination about gay sports people in particular?
