I never noticed LGBT people much until the last few years. That isn't to say there weren't any around, but they just blended in with everyone else, so that very few people's sexuality really stood out; be it heterosexual or homosexual.Iʼve never understood why I, or anyone else, should care about how, or who, other people are consensually fucking.
Itʼs none of my business.
Also, Iʼd appreciate being given the same disregard, as it is no one elseʼs business.
I bet youʼd like to be offered the same. Sure thing, enjoy yourself.
It never fails...if someone is up in othersʼ business as it regards what they do, or not, with their genitals, you can be sure that the stink of authoritarians, social theists, and judgmental moralists will be not just rank, but absolutely stultifying.

Nor am I, Matty. I am sick of seeing it on TV. I am sick of people advertising it. It is not just this, though. Heck, I'm sick of a lot of things on the media and in the papers being broadcasted every time I try to look at something.However, it seems like public displays of gayness and to a lesser extent, public displays of straightness are trending in big cities. I can't say that I'm a fan of it.
I think that Putin is probably following the Despot Manual here. This says that any freedom of thought, or independence of culture, opinion or way of life, results in a population that cannot be controlled from the centre. All the better if the means of exerting such control are aligned with traditional ethical beliefs. I'm not saying that these ethics are valid or not - that's a separate issue - but that a despot can use them for ulterior purposes. Even the Devil is quite happy to quote The Bible for his own ends.Extremists, he says.

If our business, whether personal or commercial, is consensual between or among those involved, there is no right to interfere.It's a tender balance, isn't it? When do the values of societal life have the right to interfere with our right to a private life and right to conduct businesses based on our interests?
