that would have worked so well if youd included my post in the quote  I meant to say seeing a doctor about your loss of speech. It wasnt a loss of speech it was the apology to Kris sticking in my craw.  |

Shame though. Anyway, if you take a step back you'll see it was a joke. If you don't have a sense of humour, I can recommend canal world discussion forum. |

I thought I had heard all of the different names but "bender" is a new one for me. Mind you it doesn't sound as anywhere as offensive as a lot of the common ones, that this being a free and open forum I could mention or list here, but decorum wont let me to do so.

Its interesting to hear you use the word bender, I was talking to my son the other day about terminologies and he hates that term as a result of much bullying for his sexuality at junior school. I think a lot of words have personal negative connotations when to a wider audience they are just words. |

The point is that when you "are one" you are allowed to use those words. If you ain't, you ain't (in polite company anyway). In the same way that whites aren't allowed to use the N word but black folk can and do call themselves and each other "nigger".
I think that the mentality is that by using the word in this way, to some extent it disempowers the word from being truly offensive.
Anyway with all the LGBTs on Eastenders, we now call it EastBenders. Or, since we are posh, the "Benders of the East".
Anyway these are all just words and the word is not important, it is the sentiment behind the word that is important so jokes are fine, personal attacks despising someone for their sexuality is not.

That's age group 7-11 - I wasn't aware of sexuality at that age, that's what puberty is all about! 7-11 yerar old boys should be riding bikes, building dens, playing football and such like. Are we now in an age where all that is bypassed and we have children deciding there sexual orientation at junior school? Fwiw. I thought girls were rubbish at that age, that all changed at around 14 though  |

He's gay, he has always had certain mannerisms which have marked him out as different from his peers and would fit the stereotypical view of a gay man if you have a childs view of the world. As a result of those mannerisms he was bullied mercilessly by his peers for being gay before he even knew what sexuality was. Now he is older and does appreciate sexuality it hasnt changed the fact that the names he was called and the beatings he got were bullying.

If that's the case I'm glad I grew up in 1980's Northamptonshire! |
