I think the last time my sexuality was subject to bigotry and prejudice was when someone commented that I wasn’t obviously homosexual because I didn’t behave like Larry Grayson or Liberace. Quite recently in fact. And in what way do you class that as being bigoted or prejudiced? Clearly there is no point in me trying to explain it to you. If you were going to understand you would have done so years ago. Oh alright, I'll try but I'm confident it isn't going to work. Definitions copied from google:
Bigoted: "obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group."
You are unreasonably attached to a belief that persons including me and Jeff, belonging to the group "homosexual" all behave like Larry Grayson.
Prejudiced: "a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience."
Your preconceived opinion is that homosexuals behave like Larry Grayson, despite having no rational reason to support that opinion nor actual experience of a wide variety of homosexuals (who are mostly not like Larry Grayson). Well of course you do actually have that experience, you just don't realise it and or decline to acknowledge it. Which makes the prejudice worse - prejudice in the face of contradicting evidence.

No, I am simply saying that I do not understand how you can constantly be treated with anti-homosexual sentiment when there is nothing outwardly identifying you as homosexual. But you've obviously got the Victim Card out here so I'm sure I'm wasting my time. Perhaps you constantly make reference to your sexuality despite nobody being remotely interested in it?

Would you actually go to a vegan cake maker though? I would have thought a vegan cake maker would probably advertise the fact they made vegan cakes in the first place. The question then arises "was the cake maker advertising as being a strict christian cake maker?". If not then they are wide open to people assuming they don't care what the decoration is. I've not looked into this as it is far too boring but I reckon one would have to advertise the type of cake one was making. For example you could have "Nazi cake maker" as the company description to avoid Jews coming and asking for cakes with red sea pedestrian or kike references. Without specifying in advance your prejudices it is reasonable for a reasonable person to assume you have none. And in any case, Christians are supposed to be followers of Christ aka Jesus. Jesus never said anything against homosexuality, he never said that gay marriage was not allowed. He did say to love thy neighbour without specifying gender. “Christians“ tend to be bigots who conveniently find that they can use their religion to justify their bigotry and prejudice. 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅

Perhaps the guy was inquisitive, and that didn’t fit in with your agenda, or perhaps you're just making it up.

Clearly I am not "constantly" treated with anti-homosexual sentiment, that would be highly unlikely especially when I'm in my own house, so I am puzzled why you feel the need to exagerate the situation. I am outwardly identified as a homosexual when I am with my husband.
But anyway, I am certainly not a victim. I am more concerned for you, because it is you who is looking pretty foolish, if not to say bigoted and prejudiced, in the eyes of people on this forum. Your words reflect badly only on you, not on me. But then I guess that is nothing new for you. But I suspect you have already blown your date with Met. Back to your inflatable friend I think.

And of course it is POSSIBLE that he decided not to return to the club for some other reason. But it would be an improbable co-incidence. I have no problem with someone being inquisitive, but having told them the situation, when they are never seen again that is probably bigotry.

Gobbledegook nick. Simply Gobbledegook. Stabby actually got it rignt with his that post, and left you with no words. You regularly throw abuse on here, referring to thunderboat posters as thick, stupid or ignorant, then when the favour is returned, you play the victim card.

Isn't it the imagined traits that we accept bickering and baiting about ?
My wife beating ... Stabby's hair colouring ... Nick's huge head ... Dave being hen pecked etc. etc.
We create caricatures of each other and use them to bait etc. generally in a humorous way.
We don't have to agree on everything to be able to get along.
The problems here always seem to arise when 'baiting' moves too close to reality.
