I dunno, gay tv, where's straight tv? Gay bars, where's the straight bars? All of them I guess, but you couldn't call them straight bars. And Like I said, people can be sued for being homophobic, but not heterophobic.
Anyway, gay people have it pretty good here. I know a lot of the US is way behind us. A lot of people who are against homosexuals, seem to have the view, "just keep your perversions behind closed doors".

I wouldn't say we've got it all that good at all. I've remained in the closet to avoid the trouble and harrasment that comes with being openly gay. I know a few gay people in the town that I live in, and they can't walk down the street without being verbally abused. They have regularly had their property vandalized. And on top of that gay marriage is still not allowed, and AFAIK in the case of gays who have maried abroad, still not legally recognized.

Wasn't so long ago I had to turf some idiot out of a bar for abusing a gay customer, who was simply enjoying a quiet drink with friends (both gay and straight.)

I have the misfortune to live in one of the most backward and religious places in Britain. I was playing football with a bunch of teenage boys, and was pretty freaked out when they started talking about how they would be happy to beat up a "fa***t" for no reason other than the fact they were gay. A few of these boys were religious, and one of the main reasons they gave for their homophobia was that they claimed "God says that it's wrong."
I'm not saying that the church is solely responsible for homophobia, but the attitude of the churches certainly does nothing to help the situation, and I'm pretty certain that the churches attitude to homosexuality does significantly increase homophobia.

It is full of straight porn channels yes. Does it say straight porn tv?
Well sorry you're put in that situation, i'm not saying the country has no homophobes left in it, but as far as the media goes, you can't say a bad word against gay people. How did people know that couple were gay, or did they just assume cause they were living together? Being against homosexuals is fair enough I guess, but when they start bullying them and vandalizing their property, they need to be dealt with by the police. But for criminal damage and verbal abuse, they shouldn't be punished more severely cause the incidents were aimed at gay people.

We get plenty of stuff like that in the UK, Muslims wanting people who don't follow Islam to be burned, as well as our soldiers and police too. White people killed for just being white, and vice versa. The bible won't get re-written just to stop homophobia. I'm sure there's plenty of things gay people do that doesn;t help homophobia. The teenagers who say they'll beat someone up for just being a faggort are showing off, they're little moron. If they were in a one on one situation with a person who was gay, they would do sod all, they were saying that crap to impress their other friends, and if they were in a group, then they most likely would beat up that gay person.

I don't think that the media in this country is homophobic.
Of course all of these kids aren't all goint to go out and beat up gays, but in a group they will shout abuse, or throw things.
The gay people that I was talking about are openly gay. They make no secret of their sexuality.

Why? Why mention Muslims when they have nothing to do with it? Is there any subject where you won't drag Muslims in to it and rattle on about how evil they are? What purpose does it serve?

I didn't say that. I meant they are very pro gay.
They'll do that to anybody, not just gays.
Well I guess a lot of people still don't like it shoved in their faces. I can't really blame them for that, its no excuse to do what they did though.
