I’ve started seeing someone (likely for not much longer).

We were discussing what each of us were doing for bank holiday a few weeks back and I’m going to Brighton to see a friend. He commented that he didn’t like Brighton and then asked that’s the gay capital right? I said it was and is there a problem with that?

He said no but it’s very liberal there and he doesn’t like it in his face.

Ok …..

And today I was saying how I want to see Queen, he said he loves Bohemia Rhapsody. I commented did he not like any others? So I stated listing them and I said “I want to break free” - and he said no definitely not that, I asked if it’s because he’s dressed as a woman in the video. He retorted no but it’s about how he wants to break free …

Whatever that means. I’m on the fence with him anyway but this has sealed it for me I think.

What weird projections - and yes your predictably aggressive outrage is definitely there. I only spoke about the bloke who didn't want to go to Brighton. You know what kind of metrosexual man you want, chuck, that's the spice of life. Whether not wanting to revel with the rainbow in Brighton was homophobic was what was being debated here.

I'm 100% heterosexual. That has nothing to do with not liking gays, you are terribly confused in your assertions.

What has being hetero got to do with being homophobic?

@excitingusername no one wants your nasty aggressive patronising self on this thread.

They have pills for severe depression you know. Get help.

Revel with the rainbow! That’s a new one - you do realise that the majority of the people in Brighton are straight? Like 80% of the city population?
the city with the largest LGBTQ+ population in the U.K. is Liverpool - with twice as many gays as in Brighton.
London,Manchester, Leeds, and on and on…
