CCFC Supports Rainbow Laces - Why? (3 Viewers)

[Deleted member 2477]

I imagine this question would normally be asked in Off Topics but the club tweeted it would be supporting the Rainbow Laces campaign this weekend. Not wishing to be facetious but I am genuinely trying to understand a simple question….

WHY?

While I appreciate that societies 'norm' from my generation is shifting at an alarming rate, I do not understand why the club is providing awareness to a tiny and perhaps growing fraction of our fanbase. If the Rainbow Laces wing of the LGBT+ community want to practice their sexual/gender choices, then go for it. What I am struggling with is why their choices are being held up as the new 'norm' that should be accepted by those who may not share in their choices?

I totally get the club making a stance by supporting issues that are a result of no choice at all like the colour of your skin, your country of birth, vicious diseases etc but not somebody else’s sexual/gender choices.

I wonder how we would all feel at election time if the club got behind the Conservative Party with blue armbands, laces and corner flags? Most would see this as plain daft and divisive to rip apart the fan base to support a political choice.

I am quite happy to be educated here especially from those who support the Rainbow Laces campaign. However, if the only reasoned remarks to my question are you're a homophobe or a bigot and general name calling then I will simply dismiss the comment with the contempt it deserves.

When travelling hundreds of miles home and away, I do this to support Coventry City Football Club and I am not concerned about anybody’s sexual/gender preference when jumping up and down when we’ve scored or when we’re all singing together getting behind the team.

Just interested in the rationale behind it all, and if the goal is to encourage society to accept their choices, then what about the choices of the vast majority? - Most of which would just remain silent as not to get ‘called out’.

No fault of the club but I would prefer this Saturday’s game to be all about John Sillet, 3 points a nothing else.

Should the club be involved with these kinds of campaigns?

Well theres a surprise pricdick the lefty virtual signaller doesnt like your post.

It's an insult to righties the world over, really!

It's incredible that wanting a good education is now apparently worthy of ridicule.

This guy makes a good point, how are you supposed to have an open discussion when you don't have the education to put a coherent sentence together?

I didn't think the OP’s question was offensive. I accepted it as what I thought it was - a question as to why we have rainbow laces…

but I really don’t get the university lecturer comment which is a standard response to any query of bigoted behaviour.

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Dished out? what which post number?
Canyou give me the post numbers ofthepostsyou consider 'bile' to demonstrate this valid point youre making?
And trust me, your posts don't bother me because I consider you to be a fucking idiot, you probably feel the same about me, I honestly couldn't care less.

You're absolutely spot on there. You could care though , hence the fucking idiot remark. You wouldn't say it to my face though because you're a small time coward.

He’s at least a foot taller than me so I’d be careful

HAHA! you haven't answered my questions, can you point out this bile?

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Just block the weirdo ex PE teacher. He's proper weird.

Queue the old weirdo spouting some tired out claptrap about the IRA

Says the black IRA supporter. Are you an LGBT+ IRA supporter on this thread ?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I come off the Off Topic Thread to have a break and see some football and saw this thread which I somehow missed all day.

Also it was factually inaccurate but don't let that bother you

That's what most people had a problem with the op's words.... Opinion is absolutely fine but when it's factually inaccurate people quite rightly called them out on it

 

[Deleted member 5849]

You know, this thread encouraged me to begin with. Now there appear a small minority of ANGRY people, who want to POLITICISE homosexuality and homophobia, because they want a FIGHT.

He's a weirdo that mentions the 'RA so much I think he's a secret shinner from county Tyrone.

I'm still waiting for him to post evidence of this bile posted on the first page of this thread. There isn't any of course, as you say, he's a fucking weirdo.

Having the IRA supporter as a mate must be a real comfort blanket.

whatever he is he's got your number. So I don't have to keep asking, one last chance, can you give me the post numbers of the bile posted on the first page of this thread?
If not I'll take it you were talking shite and being a drama queen then we can all get on with our lives.

 

[Nick]

Give it a fucking rest with your politics bickering, keep it in off topic or PM each other.

Other than about 5 or 6 people nobody else gives a shit about it all. I will even make you your own hidden forum you can go on and on and on and on in that doesn't bother anybody else if it makes you happy.

it's not political, he made an accusation he won't back up.
Sorry if I've got this wrong but when was homophobia a right wing or left wing thing?

It isn't, but there are a couple of morons who want to make it so.

 

[clint van damme]

still not answered, I'll leave it there, I think everyone can see your accusation is bollocks, in keeping with your general contribution to this forum.

Of course it is, it's a carry on from all of the other bullshit threads that people avoid.

There was actually a decent response to the thread to start with, then the usual nonsense occurs.

which is sort of my point, the responses weren't 'filled with bile' at all.
Like I said, thread derailed, almost certainly, on purpose.

He isn't going give you any as he's weirdo who's as thick as mince and for some reason I live rent free in his head.

But if he wants some bile then to return the topic at hand the thoughts expressed in the OP can once again fuck off back to the 1950s with ricketts and polio.

Homophobia is still a stain that endures in our society and while it does I'm proud our club stands up in whatever way, however small for LGBT rights.

To say sexuality is a lifestyle choice is both frankly offensive and dangerous.

Is there a setting on Tapatalk where I can avoid off topic chat? Seems it's latest post on every thread bumps it to the top of my thread list.

That's the point, it's pretty much every thread with different "sides" which all stems from people's politics and then people generally being dickheads.

Wasn't saying it was the righties or the lefties at fault, just stop being dicks and be constructive.

There should be a constructive discussion about it all.
