Feuillant Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 three exciting years on the Haute Garonne/Gers borders near Samatan.We have a 12th century castle, 3 collies and a load of dyslexic hens -they mistake kitchen for chicken, even though I have told them they enter at their peril.By the way, am I the only one to be disturbed by French laws that apparently allow you to marry your daughter (cf. John not Di)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mops Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 And that's something to be proud of is it? Do we really need to know, I don't wish you any harm but can't you just live quietly and let us all carry on in our normal 'straight' world. This will probably provoke alot of backlash but it's time someone stood up for 'straight' rights too. I don't want my grandchildren to be brought up in a world where they are taught that there is a third way. I have known many people in my life time across all continents who are homosexual and they have are super people but none of them has found the need to shout it from the roof tops. When do you hear about others with genetic defects (because that is what it is) shouting about their problems. Disgruntled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigw Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 not wishing to add fuel to the fire but I think all he was doing was quoting the comedy show "little britain" and not making a bold statement.

WJT Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I thought it was hilarious, maybe not everyone is familiar with the Little Britain sketch (hard to believe though). It is difficult enough for some to make the decision to move to rural france but must be even harder for a gay couple, it must take a lot of courage. I know there have been a few other gay couples on the site but I would be interested to know how you are received in your village. Hopefully, you don't run into too many prejudices like what we have just seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babnik Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Mops, it's because of people like you, that People like Paul and Nigel have to 'shout from the rooftops'. I appreciate your right to bring up your grand children anyway you see fit, but with comments like your 'genetic defects' one, I do feel sorry for them!

Mops Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 As I don't watch the programme 'Little Britain' I have no idea what it's about. I didn't know that he was joking. As I said before I have no problem with people being gay, just believe that our sexual preferences are better not aired on a forum. I am not in the slightest bit ashamed I am just as entitled to have my say on the matter as anyone else. If some people have taken offense that is their problem. Chaqu'un son gout!

Mops Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Why bother commenting. There is nothing more to be added. Nobody is discussing religion here. Some subjects are best avoided. I wouldn't openly admit on this forum to being a Muslim, Catholic etc. some things are best kept to ourselves, which was the point I was trying to make. The subject is closed as far as I am concerned. Si vous voulez continuer de discuter ce sujet faites le ailleurs, mais pas ici s'il vous plait madame.

Gay and happyPaul Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Sorry if what I posted upset anyone. It was a joke. Being Welsh and gay I thought it was funny after moving from a city life to a village one. I was under the impression that the French where the humourless ones not the British!. Would my post have upset anyone if I said "lets hope England don't get though into the World Cup like the Welsh won't!"
