    Lol. Been there done:) that. My days of chasing skirt are behind me. Happily married dad these days. Did enjoy some lesbians back in the day though.:)
    I don't believe any of this. Nor do I believe you have a brother who is gay. You're like one of these bigots who claim they can't possibly be bigoted because they have gay friends. If you did sleep with a lesbian, honey - she wasn't gay.

    Gay people, IMO, do get a harder time than lesbians because their seen as men (even though some don't view homo men as 'real men') & they've had to deal with sh*t in the past about their sexuality so they can deal with a bit of what they call 'banter'. Whereas with lesbians it's different, most heterosexual men love the thought of 2 women having sex & want to join in. It's only when they realise they won't be offered is when they'll start hurling abuse at them aswell.

    Got any conspiracy theories about the Jews while you're at it?

    He will no doubt. The Jews are taking over the financial world, the gays the media!! blah blah blah! The end of the world is nigh!:D

    I would say no. It's both pretty equal.

    I got hassled by some knobs three days ago. I was quite taken aback by it. I've had people shout abuse or make comments but never get physical with me. I'm not going to speculate whether these two guys decided to pick on me because I "looked gay", or if it was just because I was alone and looked like someone they could pick on. But two guys in their mid twenties I'd say, approached me and stood in the way of the direction I was walking and made comments about how skinny I was and that apparently "most queers look like that"

    One of them grabbed me by my jumper and shoved me down, and I think he was probably going to pounce, but then the other one just said "leave him, it's not a fair fight, he's just a wee poof that can't defend himself."

    The strange thing about people who are homophobic is that no comment they make can really affect you, it's just the knowing that there are people out there who's hatred is that strong that they're perfectly happy to do that to you in the street.

    You quiet often hear about people being homophobic towards gay men but not as much towards lesbian women.

    Lesbian women get an easier time than gay men mainly because many straight men like the idea of two women together imo.

    The last part is very true, it's a scary prospect when you think about it that there are people out there that don't know you but want to harm you. I get in school sometimes, I walked past someone in my year who I had never said a word to & he said to his friend 'ugh who'd want to **** that dirty little skanky queer'. I didn't bother saying anything back because there was no point. I should've though.

    Gay people includes gay women (just to be clear).

    I think both gay men and women can have a difficult time - not always in the same ways but difficult none the less. Even though some men do fantasise about lesbians that doesn't stop them from being incredibly offensive when they meet real gay women. It isn't a competition though - the experiences of homophobia that gay people have are all distressing and all unnecessary.

    I think that gay men are more likely to be subject to random abuse/assaults by strangers than gay women are. Men are far more likely to hit other men than they are women.

    Wow i hope you don't let those scum knock your confidence.>:( I wish more gay people would take a type of martial art training or something to kick ass when confronted by bigoted thugs. In fact most people from all walks of life might benefit from some sort of self defense training, we would soon see if thugs still felt so tough.

    Lesbian women get an easier time than gay men mainly because many straight men like the idea of two women together imo.

    Straight men like the idea of two women together but not really lesbian - just playing with each other for his gratification and then letting him hop on. The reality is that lesbians would not be the least bit interested in a straight man sexually. So I think it's actually extremely hot and slightly bisexual women that men fantasize about.

    Homosexuals are estimated to make up between 2 and 3 percent of the population. When looking at how such a disproportionate number hold prominent positions in the media and in politics I would dispute that they have it particularly hard.

    I think it's closer to just under 20%.

    My guess is About 10% for just gay people and add maybe 5% for bisexuals, so overall im guessing 15%.
