    hetrosexual male or female .. as in straight male or female


    Oh . . right . . ummmm. . . so you meant to say 'straight' but presumably didnt because that would culturally imply 'normal' because straight and normal are relationally correct, so you used this pseudo-liberal word instead?

    Dearie me . . whatever happened to the concept of people just being people?

    actually i've also heard it used (usually perjoritavely) to describe monogomous butch/femme lesbian relationships as these are seen as aping the conventions of dominant heterosexuality.


    Usually by gay men :rotfl:

    no because straight is sexuality , heteronormative covers both sexuality and gender

  • what a load of rubbish. jobs for the sake of jobs.

    if i am hiring a chef, i want the best chef I can get. whether they are gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgendered is irrelevant.

    its idiotic lefties that keep these barriers up. they make people prejudice because of roles like this. a white working class male may harbour a grudge against a white homosexual working class male if he feels the gay bloke is getting preferential treatment.

    like dianne abbott saying blacks should lose their jobs last in the public sector because more blacks work in the public sector than the private sector. so, nothing to do with service, ability, attitude etc. just to do with colour. its people like abbott and lefties in general that cause the problems.

    if there are public sector job cuts (and please may there be many) the people to go should be the inefficient, non-jobs, lazy useless people first. The good ones should stay. colour or sexual preference should have nothing to do with it. the lefties always make sure that it is. this is another reason why they are useless moronic scum.

    unfortunately bendix not everyone is as equality minded as you. and if you're on the receiving end of a marklv-mentalitied manager you do need some recourse to legislation.

    sadly a lot of people don't think like that. it's even harder in 'front of house' positions.

    so you're saying that Hackney Council only employs non-white homsexual people?

    It employs mainly non-white and homosexual people.

    Odd thing is that many non white people truly hate homosexuals. How does that work with the diversity policy?

    Sorry to go totally off topic for a moment, this happened to me yesterday.

    I work in a library and someone came in wanting to borrow a text book on criminology. Unfortunately someone had stolen it.
