Am I a bad person?

[dewsweeper]

Following on from another thread.
I do not like to see males kissing before the watershed.
It seems this had made me a sexist,homophobic person.
I do not think I am but I also dislike the advert for insurance featuring stereotypes of gays of both sexes posturing and hip grinding in the early afternoon.
I am almost certainly one of the older men on the forum and feel I have travelled a long way from my formative years in the 1940/s and 1950/s .
Just my view but I feel there is much more male on male sexual action on TV recently and that in itself is not the problem but the feeling to me that there is an agenda to this.
I await my condemnation with some trepidation.

If you would condemn two men kissing or two women kissing in a situation in which you wouldn't object to a man and a woman kissing then, yes, the problem is you.

I don't really like to see men kissing if I'm honest.
But I'm happy to admit that the problem is with me.

If you have no problem with a male and a female kissing at the same time then Yes it more than likely makes you homophobic

There is no agenda - there is just more equality than before.

I admire your honesty. Really IMO if it's just single sex kissing that you have an issue with then you need to have a little think about your view of the world. Only you will know if you're homophobic or not, but it's not appropriate to distinguish between hetro & homo. We're not talking pre watershed sexual contact, just affection.

Car insurance I think.
My wife felt strongly enough about it to contact Advertising Standards about it.
They replied that though others had complained many had like the bump and grind moves and pelvic thrusts.

That's just a rubbish advert !!! My kids have mimicked that. I don't like the overt sexualisation of this when kids innocently copy it but hetro or homo sexuality is irrelevant.

It's a terrible advert that my kids have copied. The sex of the people grinding is irrelevant IMO

Not in mine I am afraid.
You mention affection above and again in all honesty it is the frenzy of tongues et al they I feel is more the norm.

What about if you saw this in the street? A couple of fellas kissing?

Well I can't find it by googling I'm afraid unless you can help with the name of the firm being advertised?

If the same ad featured heterosexual couples instead of gay ones would you have the same reaction?

For me it has nothing to do with anything sexual - it's just a rubbish cringeworthy advert of people looking weird and having a dance off. Do you believe they are gay ? Based on what.

You complained about it ?!

I would put my hand on my botttle and glass and scurry away quickly!

Really? That's the ad you're complaining about? I thought you said it had gays in it?
