Re: Harrased over my sexuality
cheers Andy . my understanding of the world has developed over time[ whether it be left or right], i am not sure that would have any relevence to how i would have reacted to a situation that happened many years ago ?

Re: Harrased over my sexuality
just an educated guess really , i agree with your second comment nothing is likely to be achieved by us "shooting the breeze on a 'Net forum" as you put it , maybe we should both stop posting ? i can also imagine you are the sort of person that never voices an opinion while you are out at work or socialising etc ...Tman wrote:only you could answer my question like that. what the hell has Karl Marx got to do with Linkinpark's sadness or this thread ?
Any old band-wagon, eh Borders/borders?
What makes you think it was dear old Marx I was referring to? Could have been anyone from Mao to Engels, Paine to the Prophet Mohammed. Then again, it could have been generic....
Put down Das Kapital, it's making you one-dimensional.
You're not getting this, are you? Someone's inner beliefs won't be changed or even challenged by shooting the breeze on a 'Net forum.if you would like to pit your inner self beliefs against the writings of Karl Marx and many others , start up a new thread and lets go for it ?
[Well, most people anyway. I suppose those who need some sort of Haynes manual guide to life may think differently]

In my old office there is a postman who was a man & then had a full sex change abroad because it was cheaper, we had a meeting with all staff warning us about treatment of this person, but to be fair everybody was fine,I liked him very much when he was a man & now that he is a female she is still a really nice person I still see her & she is quite eccentric but had alot of guts to do it.Gay ,bisexual whatever it really don't bother me I take people on face value after all it's there life, people who are cruel taking the piss should take a good look at thereself are they perfect I think not.It take's all sorts.

Re: Harrased over my sexuality
never bothered me , I've worked with quite a few gay men , they've a sensitive radar as to if you're bothered or not ; nothing to do with me and I'd complete respect for some of them for tackling idiot supervisors and sh***hawks / gossip queens ( worse than old women ? ) on my behalf , that were looking for brownie points to save redundancy money etc .andy2007 wrote:If only more people could see the World that way.kay_thebigbird wrote:In my old office there is a postman who was a man & then had a full sex change abroad because it was cheaper, we had a meeting with all staff warning us about treatment of this person, but to be fair everybody was fine,I liked him very much when he was a man & now that he is a female she is still a really nice person I still see her & she is quite eccentric but had alot of guts to do it.Gay ,bisexual whatever it really don't bother me I take people on face value after all it's there life, people who are cruel taking the piss should take a good look at thereself are they perfect I think not.It take's all sorts.
As for lesbians , I'd rather have her as a workmate than the dangerous nymphomaniac who management had to turn a blind eye to her getting away with murder ; as she'd tried the old " I'll tell your bosses and your wives " routine .
