I’d be interested do gay people broadly agree things have gone backwards. This is the sentiment in the Irish Times, but I’ve never heard it expressed by gay family and friends.
One boy says ‘I f***ing hate gay people’
Hundreds of us don’t even notice gay people holding hands because it’s not an issue.
Reformed biggot here. I haven’t seen this attitude prevalent anywhere and to be fair I would be around or near other people who are still narrow minded in their attitudes, if anything I’m seeing a broad picture of acceptance or more accurately a lack of any concern in either direction. Any people who I know who are gay including friends and family dont say anything like this is happening. I’m not so sure about this one but then I am not the discriminated against person’s here so I can’t say anything about individual or isolated cases. It seems far more likely it’s just wannabe edge lords copying Andrew tate or some other drivel they will grow out of when common sense kicks in. Also fuck Andrew tate. Utter gobshite.
It’s a far shout better in Dublin than Belfast anyway. I was quite pleased to see the progress Dublin has made from a cloistered, catholic slum to the vibrant Metropolis it is today. I saw many gay couples walking hand in hand seemingly carefree and I never saw them get any stick (a limited experience I know). What I do know is, if I were gay id much rather be taking my better half out to dinner in Dublin than Belfast, where I feel the chances of a skinhead decking you in the head are much farther from nil. It’s honestly done a 180 this last decade as to which culture is the more parochial and repressed
We’ve definitely gone backwards, I think if the vote was held today we’d struggle to win. 10 years ago people were generally more open and supportive online. In recent years , the trolls (paid, organised and international) have done a good job spreading absolute shite and noise. And many unfortunately young and old have lapped it up… What’s more worrying of late people are less likely to speak up.. and that’s including me.. I’m more fearful to have an opinion..
Dublin was about 70% in favour of marriage equality. The 30% aren’t entirely gone today.
Yes, gay people have basic human rights, but the intolerance is still there. Thankfully, I have dealt with very little intolerance personally. The worst I have actually gotten was when my bf and I got the eyes from the receptionist in Dubai when she needed to clarify numerous times they we meant to book 1 bed and not two twin beds (still really stupid of us in hindsight but whatever).
You can change the law, but you can’t change how a large demographic feel. The way I see it, it doesn’t matter your orientation, gender, race, as long as there are people out there who hate inwards, they’ll continue to hate outwards and often the small minorities are the ones who feel the brunt of that, because it’s easy.
We’ve still a long way to go.
That child has rotten ignorant parents
Sure. Add that to the pile of things that “definitely” happened.
