I’d say a minority of homophobes have witnessed gay sex.

I didn’t call him a homophobe.

My point was more that homophobes will abuse gay people whether they’ve seen them have sex or not, so it’s not really relevant whether they have had sex to begin with.

Do you think gay people have to have sex to be discriminated against?

I think that gay people have to have had a relationship, either sexual or emotional to legitimately claim asylum for their sexuality.

That’s not what I asked. Do you think gay people have to have sex to be discriminated against?

Follow up question, do you think it’s possible for Asexual people to be discriminated against based on sexuality?

Second follow up question: Have you considered the possibility that people who have gay sex in countries where it is illegal are unlikely to keep evidence around that could be used against them, and that outing a partner who’s still in such a country could place that partner in mortal danger? Have you considered the possibility that the discrimination they face is the very reason that someone might avoid being in a relationship?

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
