I left Ireland in 1982 , I was 17 and had had enough of being attacked spat at , and several times beaten up . If I had a pound for every time I was screamed at “ steamer “ but I survived and thrived in the UK
I grew up in Ireland in the '70s. Up our 'terrace' there were same sex couples living together. No one ever talked about it. Not sure what people, including my parents, actually thought about the subject.
@@colin4958 Every town and village always had gay people in every line of work. People knew they were gay and they were not blacklisted by their communities. Most of the heat gay people in Ireland got was from the RCC staff and it's hardcore holy rollers who were a minority of the general population. The irony being a huge number of priests were gay compared to the general population.
They are still like that in Northern Ireland, only this week Foster said she was ousted from the DUP because she planned to abstain (not even vote against) from a vote banning Conversion Therapy.
We came a long way, then turned 90 degrees and went up another path even more terrible. I'm so ashamed that I voted in favour of "marriage equality", which relies on the premise that unmarried people should be discriminated against. Give em an inch and they'll take a mile, now the LGBT movement is doing conversion therapy on kids, that's "how far we've come"
These ordinary people don't have the vocabulary to dissect the issues here, and they are groping around in the dark trying to discuss this complex moral issue. They make a perfect target for this kind of Struggle Session, to be deconstructed, and picked off one by one. It's shocking how the people who created this obvious propaganda have been so utterly successful in turning the most obvious moral issues on their heads. There are serious answers to these questions and you can find them if you seek out the right people. The point of this TV program was to ridicule normal everyday people as a way of overturning the protections society has put on antisocial behaviour whether it's this carry on, or alcoholism, or thieving, or whatever kind of vice it is. Shameful to read the comments here. You lot have absolutely no clue what happened in the 20th century. Staggering ignorance
Yeah, but now it’s gotten too far to the point of us you can identify as as anything and it’s now a crime to say that they’re not us. It’s ridiculous now. 0
@@DL10663 no you can identify now whatever you want and then if someone says anything to you it’s now considered a hate crime. It’s ridiculous whatever about being gay or straight but then people are on 1 million labels onto things and we have to put up with it.
@@SmcdMcd-d2k people don’t identify whatever they want. Some people identify as male, some female and others gender neutral. That’s it. I don’t see the problem with this. Some people are very feminine, some very masculine. What’s the problem? It’s not a negative.
