Any Gay and Lesbian Pilots out there?

[facthunter]

Startlingfartblast, you have to tell them you are a bloke(or a girl) for what you said to have meaning.

 

On a more general note, regardlessof my own feelings and inclinations I don't believe that any of us have the right to discriminate on the basis of sex , sexual orientation class, race religion or creed etc in a general sense. I believe in tolerence of other views and the right of no-one to think they can force their beliefs on me. If they do I have the right to resist it ..Nev

I am not a homosexual but I've had sex with a guy who is.

What do you mean Slarti, is it one of those "I visited the island, but didn't move there to live" things? I never even walked down to look at the barge!

You have to love political correctness don't ya.I can't stand the thought of 2 blokes doing any of that sort of stuff, it makes me sick. I guess that makes me a Homophobe. I can't help it anymore than they apparently can't help being gay.

 

So how is it, that if I voice my opinion, I am discriminating against them (gays), but they (gays and do gooders) can call me a Homophobe until the cows come home and nobody maligns them for it .

 

This post is not about Gays and Homophobes it is about the double standards we see so often from those who insist on political correctness.

 

Equality is something that is unimportant to people who have have it.

Agree with you totally. Any abuse I get is water off a ducks back, although some years ago, I was forced to used half a brick to help reinforce my right to my opinions.

Loses a bit with the lack of profanity,,,,,,,,

 

I was wondering when this would become an outlet for some sort of crusader( not Slartibartfast), the bottom( excuse the pun) line,,, I DON'T CARE,,,I hope the yanks have a good holiday, and as long as I don't have someone else's lifestyle rammed down my throat( oops ,,,sorry) I couldn't give a rats what they do for kicks,

I really don't feel the need to have a massive "Heterosexual Mardi Gras", nor any need to openly promote my sexuality at every turn to everyone in earshot.

 

I think the thing that peeves most people off generally is continually having the sexual orientation rubbed into every conversation or event when it is simply not needed, warranted, or desired by others (as in the OP of this thread).

 

I have worked in both nursing and the TV industry, both of which are "overrepresented" by gays and lesbians (and other letters...), and as an observation I would say the people that actually earn respect from the majority of others are the ones that behave as a rational, organized, competent individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation. The "exhibitionism" I alluded to earlier does not impress anyone - it simply isn't warranted in a workplace. (correctly identified as attention seeking behavior or narcissistic behavior - "I am the only one that matters. Look at ME")

 

I'm straight, but I accept all people as being normal (a wide acceptance of what is "normal" is commonplace and necessary in nursing). I don't rub my sexual orientation in your face, so please don't rub your orientation in my face. Not that I am offended by it, but I simply could not care less about it.

Are you saying that people are sick and tired of having the gay agenda rammed down their throats?

..... I don't believe that any of us have the right to discriminate on the basis of sex , sexual orientation ....

Which is exactly what an elite group, limited to people of certain sexual orientations, aims to do.

I believe it was Edna Everage who once said. "I don't like talking about lesbianism, it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth"

Since the Mardi Gras has been mentioned, maybe sombody can answer this question. What friggen moron approved a pedestrian in Sydney to be repainted like a rainbow at a cost of over $100 000 ? What a waste of money. How could it have possibly cost that much? The actual crossing is OK, thats no problem it actually looks good. But I can't get my head around the massive cost for a bit of paint.

 

Paint, a couple of paint rollers, masking tape & some work for the dole dudes.They would have it done in a few hours.Cost under a 1000 bucks.

What about the consulting "artist" $99,000, does that make it easier for you to understand Daz. All in line with community expectation, just like punishment of sex offenders.

lol contact your local council and see how far $1000 goes these days. You won't even get a meeting for that sort of money.

Doesn't mean its right.

 

 

[fly_tornado]

Its the "inter-governmental" subsidy. Your local government bleeds everything it can out of state and federal governments every chance it gets. That $100K grant would have been based on the council's quote...

You think you have lived to be 80 and know who you are, then along comes someone and blows it all to hell!

 

An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight suit and leather jacket and ordered a cup of a coffee.

 

As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked,

 

Are you a real pilot?

 

He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearmans, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I've taught more than 260 people to fly and given rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot, and you, what are you?

 

She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.'

 

The two sat sipping in silence.

 

A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked: "are you a real pilot?"

 

He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian
