Don't see why they have their own group, they're separating themselves? I don't care, just as long as we don't get the equivalent to the club funded 'Gay Gooners' banner. So cringe, screams 'ooo look at us, were so PC'.

I'm not sure about that, we need an atmosphere and what better way to get one than encouraging a section full of flares?

However, there's just something about the endless parade of congratulations and well-wishing that accompanies every announcement such as this or every "coming out" that just feels odd to me

It's always my opinion that all that guff us more about making the congrulators feel worthy than it is genuinely supporting the congratulee.

I's making words up as I go, ya know.....

You certainly have a point, but it is also true that societal acceptance of homosexuality does make it much easier and more likely for someone to come out. The end goal of it being completely accepted and not deemed relevant with than "...and?" response is certainly a good one, but to get there we have to first make eliminate homophobia from our society and make sure we have an environment where no-one really does feel the need to hide their sexuality. Showing open acceptance to LGBT people coming out helps towards that. It's a stepping stone, if you will, between the outright hatred of the past and the neutral acceptance of the future.

Certainly true, but until that time comes there's just that little bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

One day there wont be any need for groups and no one will give a shit about what your sexuality is unless they fancy you and want to shag you.

Saddly, I don't see this happening. Not in our time, at least.

Progress can happen very quickly. If you look at the status of women, ethnic minorities and LGBT people now comparted to, say, 60 years ago, the difference is massive. There's no reason at that rate we can't reach an equal or even gender/sexuality-blind society in our times.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm a more progressive Christian, and I think you have the right to do what you want in the bedroom but just keep it in your bedroom for the sake of the children.

That is a load of bull, sorry.

How can you on one hand say that it's okay, but on the other hand want to hide it from children?
Why can't children be exposed to gay people, if being gay is okay?

I believe you are in fact against homosexuality but too afraid to say so.

As someone who is two of the four initials (B&T) I see it as a big positive. I understand the view that there isn't a heterosexual male group and why should certain minorities be recognised. But just like a group of fans in a far off city may get together or even a group of friends gather in a local pub, why shouldn't fans who are homosexual or bisexual be united in their love for Tottenham? As for keeping so called lifestyles away in the bedroom, that is fine for sexuality. But being transgendered is sometimes difficult to hide and often open to abuse.
