@ronanburtens if we are talking about objecting to those who *act* in a discriminatory and hateful way then I agree with you completely that their behaviour should not be tolerated. Although I still think that there are better ways to voice objections than with profane language and obscene gestures.

Too often though, people who do not *act* but simply have an opinion are labelled as homophobes and bigots. Too often disagreeing with what a person *does* is mistaken for hating who they *are*.

@beccaviola welll said!!! also what about heterosexual people that can't have children, are they not natural parents when they get the help they need?? deary me, its awful that in the 21st century there is still so much prejudice etc about, I sometimes feel like giving up....

I was amazed that we should ever degenerate so far as to allow French Connection UK logo that was so plainly in your face as this horrible abusive swear word. The sad thing is that people don't know the real radical life which sets you free from such misery. O fools that mock at the lovely Jesus Christ the Saviour.

@kellyholden1983 "(and, can I point out that it's only heterosexual 'relations', not heterosexual orientation in or relationship between the participants, that is required for babies, and even then only for *natural* conception.)"

I see, so given that heterosexual relations do, in your words, produce *natural" conception, would that mean a baby conceived without heterosexual relations is an *unnatural" conception?

@kellyholden1983

This is what I wrote: "Luckily for them all their parents engaged in heterosexual relations"

This is what you wrote: "can I point out that it's only heterosexual 'relations', not heterosexual orientation in or relationship between the participants, that is required for babies"

I never mentioned heterosexual orientation in or relationship between the participants, so what is your point?

[kellyholden1983]

@philipbenham1 Lily Allen, the person who wrote those lyrics, is straight though. And really, only the first few lines of the first verse is specifically about gay people, the rest of it is about other aspects of BNP policy and discourse.

(and, can I point out that it's only heterosexual 'relations', not heterosexual orientation in or relationship between the participants, that is required for babies, and even then only for *natural* conception.)

@philipbenham1 Many many thousands of gay parents say you're talking nonsense.

@afindlaybrown "Surely tolerance is a two-way street?"

Homosexuals are just as intolerant as any other group of people, after all intolerance is a human trait that we all possess and this video and the lyrics they are singing clearly shows that homosexuals are no exception. Luckily for them all their parents engaged in heterosexual relations otherwise none of these homos would be here to strut their gay stuff.

[ronanburtens]

@afindlaybrown False equivalency. Homophobes are making judgements about other people's lives. Not their own. It's not just ok to have *your* perspective on the way *someone else* lives. Especially not if you seek to act on it, either by abusing them or taking it into the political sphere to deny them their equal rights. The song is aimed at those people. Homophobes hate who people *are*. This song says f--k you to people who have *acted* in a discriminatory and hateful way. Not the same.
