And so the intolerance to other peoples opinions continues.
How long before this thread is locked I wonder?

Agreed. A differing opinion is met with "you don't get it",
rather than "I acknowledge that we have different opinions".

But what if that view is firmly rooted in the 1970s?

Suggesting you're not getting it is not intolerance. It's
suggesting you're missing something fundamental about the
disagreement.

And if I say that you "just don't get it", how does that benefit
any discussion?

I'll let the gay chap in the anecdote know that he's firmly
rooted in the 1970's. Even though he wasn't born then.
I'll also let him know that even though it's his life, he just
"doesn't get it", and should be outraged, as others seem to be
on his behalf.

It's intended to make you think more, I suppose.

I think it's intended to suggest that I'm wrong.

Based on the topic.
I think that use of language that could cause offence to the
LGBTQ+ community is rife in all areas, not just rugby or sport
but in every workplace or social setting.
Not that 99.9% of people actually intend to cause offence. I've
witnessed and to be honest said things which could be considered
offensive to LGBTQ+ such as when a colleague has worn a pink
shirt said 'oh suits you sir' and have said to a friend 'your
such a bender' when they have done something funny or stupid.
Whilst I have said these things in jest I have no intention of
offending someone who is LGBTQ+ but I can see how it could cause
offence to someone listening.
Maybe it's my imaturtity, lack of understanding or just I'm a
bit insensitive but it is something I personally need to work on
as an individual.
It might sound stereotypical but in my extended family we have a
bi-sexual, a gay and a post op transgender, they are who they
are and their sexual orientation has no impact on me as they are
just human beings. I have only ever judged them on your actions
and personality as I judge everyone I meet.
Some of the comments on here, which seem to have been deleted
and/or shut down have been disgusting, whilst everyone has their
own views and opinions you should only ever post online
something you would say in public and to the person's face.
I strongly belove that some people need to think about what they
say or act as of it was your child/friend/family who were being
targeted would you accept it as freedom of speech, I doubt it.
Intolerance and hate only leads to anger and division.
I maybe a straight man but I would break bread with anyone who
is a decent human being (in my opinion of course)
Sorry if this comes across a bit preacher esc.

I'm a racing cyclist and have been heavily involved in the sport
since the late 70s.
One of the best British riders in the 80s was Robert Millar who
finished 4th and won the King of the Mountains in the 1984 Tour
de France.
Robert has now become Pippa York and I was sitting at a table
next to her at a cycling dinner a few weeks ago and the most
notable thing, other than the physical change, was that she
seemed happy to finally be living the life which she had been
hiding for so many years and, whatever anyone else might think
about your decision to make these changes, to be able to live a
content and happy life is surely the most important thing.
