Happy Pride Month! Dame Kelly Holmes Comes Out

The mods deleted many a post in this thread because they are prejudiced against traditional values. We live in upside down reality times.

Those "traditional values" you are referencing seem to be people who are in a hissy fit about others living their lives the way they want. I don't give two sh**s if you want to get married to the same sex or opposite, but the moment you try to impose your wishes on someone else's life then it's a problem. If you're that worried that someone else getting married to the same sex questions the sanctity of your own marriage, that's your problem and not someone else's who chooses a different life. It's the same BS with religion. I don't give a crap about "christian values". Someone's christian values don't dictate what ANYONE else should do unless they believe in those values in their own life.

A child doesn’t like to be told what is wrong and right because they want all their desires met.

Not following God’s laws is much worse than a child not obeying parental authority.

It's the platform and moderation here. Letsrun is basically 4chan/8chan et al. for runners. In other arenas, even macho stuff, such bigotry is either not tolerated or not cool. Here being a miscreant is certainly tolerated and at times somewhat celebrated. The site owners here have an agenda and are they very politically connected and funded.

However, the downvotes are fairly hilarious at times.

Yvonne Murray's headband was the real winner of that race.

You believe in "God", other's don't. If people want to live their lives "in vain" and "go to hell", then let them choose that life for themselves.

Who didn't know?

How do you know what God’s laws are?

Traditional values? Acceptance of homosexuality is as traditional as civilization itself. Homosexuality was accepted in ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient Japan, ancient Egypt, and lots of other cultures. Ever read about Sappho and the island of Lesbos? Alexander the Great? How about two-spirit people in Native American communities? If you are genuinely interested in preserving tradition, then it’s time for you to start befriending gay people.

He can't. The gay people in his family that he is blissfully unaware of will likely never reveal it to him (or let anyone else reveal it to him), because they have heard his religious condemnation hundreds of times, and they don't want to deal with his response if he were to find out. It's often better for gays to placate relatives and friends like TMADDDHASFNE, because who needs the headache?

Homosexuality was never accepted in these places. Pederastry was accepted, but we know that homosexuality has nothing to do with pederastry, unless you are claming otherwise. The Ancient World was like Afghanistan and many other Muslim societies today, where 'dancing boys' are part of the culture, but adult-adult homosexual relationships are frowned upon to say the least.

Look at this article in the Daily Mail. 79 year old Calvin Klein out with his boyfriend who is 45 years younger than him. And not a negative comment or sentiment. If it had been a heterosexual celeb with such an age difference, he would be crucified as a 'dirty old man' (or worse).

In the interest of being a good leftist I’d like some clarity on the ground rules…
When it comes to religious beliefs it’s pro-choice, but as soon as we start talking about unsafe, unnecessary, and inefficient vaccines it’s no-choice? Or in all cases should I just wait to be told what my opinion is … like Will Smith?

For all those who ask "who cares?" - try and be a bit opened minded and realise not all news stories have to be interesting to you.

I am young and gay, and I care. Every story I saw like this growing up made a positive impact on me and made me realise that I wouldn't be ridiculed for coming out.

Colin Jackson, Kelly Holmes, Kerron Clement ... why do you think all these athletes wait for retirement to come out if, as some of you say, there's no discrimination in the West?

Why are people saying she could have lost her career in the army? Homosexuality may have been against the rules, but she is not a homosexual, she is a lesbian. Although I can't keep up with the ever expanding terminology, have to admit. What on Earth is the difference between 'gay' and 'queer', for example? And I don't even want to know what all the other new words mean.

Your God is not a good role model. He sounds nasty and vindictive. Not very Christian.

Your comments on this thread show that you are uneducated on this topic. Rather than continue to post ignorant opinions, please spend some time doing some reading so you can learn about LGBTQ people and the serious challenges we face. I posted 12 links on page 2 of this thread. That would be a good place to start.
