Why Don’t Gay People Post On This Forum?

Reading the recent thread about Tom Daley and no gay person posted on it to support Tom and his husband having a baby via a surrogate mother. It made me wonder, why no gay people frequented or posted on this site.

I wish gay people would and give their opinion on various threads, where their opinion would be appreciated and make some of the ‘head in the sand’ members see the other side of the story...

Good point.....but reading the responses from some contributors I'm sure they have made a conscious decision to steer well clear, unfortunately!

I agree, this is a very frightening forum to get used to.
People jump all over you sometimes....and it seems they come in groups.

HOWEVER, once to get to know each personalty, it evens out and you get to know who is serious, who is playful, and a lot of very understanding people here. But you have to find out who is who, that's the hard part.

You, for one Art, you are very kind and understanding. A new person feels comfortable with you.

Maybe for the same reason, Morris Dancers don't.

How do you know gay people don't post though, they may but just choose not to mention they are gay? I don't talk about me being hetresexual (usually lol) so perhaps they don't feel the need to mention they are gay. I dunno, just a thought x

Perhaps gay people do post on this forum. Folks don't have to announce their sexuality before they post anything on here do they. I haven't posted on the Tom Daley post either and also lots of other threads. I could be gay for all anyone knows.

Lion Queen, You are right, l don’t know.

But... seeing as the Tom Daley thread was quite a heated thread, l am surprised that no gay person came in to support Tom Daley and his husband’s choice to have a baby.

It really was a controversial thread and if there were gay members on here, l felt sure they would have made a contribution to that thread where Tom Daley and his husband, were getting slated...
