    What a load of rubbish,mountain out of a mole hill comes to mind.
    What does he want a years free burgers,i do not agree or disagree but just listening to the guy on the tv it smacks you in the face of trying to get compensation.

    He is not after any compensation, he was upset of his treatmeant, and wanted others to know, i dont think there is anything wrong with that
    Trinidad - I have a number of needs. Don't shoot me down if i get something wrong!!

    you are so wrong. security was offended, and asked them to stop, There was no EDL or potential stabbing, this related between a kiss and a security man, lets not blow it right out now

    A Freudian slip? I'm not going to say a word...

    Actually from a psychological aspect homophobia usually stems from adolescence, when the impressionable young developing mind is confused about latent homosexual feelings, those deep down feelings. It's perfectly normal for a young teenager to have sexual stirrings for a same-sex person and most people have them, I certainly did; it's all part of a normal growing up. What often happens is the decision is taken after this short passing of a 'crush' that a choice is made whether to become hetero or homo. But the human mind and subconscious mind is a complex piece of kit and for the person who had fleetingly experienced this 'abnormal' (and I use this term as how someone homophobic would view it) feeling and it so abhorred them all memory of their thoughts on this matter disappeared deep down into their unconscious mind to never return... until they become confronted with someone or something gay. In fact their homophobia is really a fear that THEY TOO COULD BE LATENTLY HOMOSEXUAL, and this is the most frightening thing to them. I hope this explains what this type of phobia (a fear of something) really is about.

    I wonder if the guard would have complained if it was two lesbians. Food (or a Quarterpounder with cheese) for thought.

    it was a peck on the lips

    The fact it was a peck is what the gay guys say. Nobody impartial to the story has commented on what sort of kiss it was.

    It's more likely to have been more than a peck and based on the story there will be a lot more to it.

    Another vote here for the security guard.
    I WOULD have complained if I had been there.
    Appropriate behaviour is so often lacking in the young and a complete disregard for anyone else's view. After all, they have RIGHTS!!!!!!

    I'm glad that my kids and their peers have grown up not to be homophobic , and much kinder, compared to some of the attitudes
    of the oldies . I find the rudeness of the older generation often shocking. It's such an insignificant thing that he did. Get on with your life .

    I find the hypocrisy of those who complain about homophobia, but who are blatently ageist, quite shocking.

    Um hmm how do I put this.. gay women will often not want to be socialising with straight men, given that straight men often fantasise about threesomes.
    Do we really? What do gay men fantasise about? Or gay women?
    Some straight strippers may not be overly keen on being watched by gay or bi women.

    Straight/bi women in my experience don't have a prob with socialising with gay or bi men, but some straight male strippers might have a big prob with being watched by gay or bi men.

    Generally, a club with female strippers will be aimed at straight men.
    More like idiots with more money than sense. I had the misfortune to be dragged into one of these by a work colleage on a works do. Most degrading experience of my life. Treated like utter crap, a walking wallet basically. Evevryone out to rip you off, the dancers, the bar staff. The place made my skin crawl. Never again.
