Half of BAME LGBT people (51 per cent) face discrimination within the LGBT community.
There is no such thing as a “LGBT community”, no more than there is a White community, or a Woman community, or a Brown-eyed community.
Grouping people into classes based on arbitrary characteristics is Neo-Marxist nonsense. This framing alone is more than enough to discard this report and any of it’s findings, as it is built ontop of a false premise.
LGBT in Britain – Home and Communities Report also shows persistent challenges for LGBT people feeling comfortable being open about their sexual orientation or gender identity with their friends and family.
Half of BAME LGBT people (51 per cent) face discrimination within the LGBT community.
More than a third of trans people (36 per cent), one in eight LGBT disabled people whose activities are ‘limited a lot’ (13 per cent), and one in five LGBT people of non-Christian faith (21 per cent) say they’ve experienced discrimination from within the community because of different parts of their identities.
Only half of lesbian, gay and bi people (46 per cent) and trans people (47 per cent) feel able to be open about their sexual orientation and/or gender identity to their whole family.
A third of bi people (32 per cent) say they cannot be open about their sexual orientation with anyone in their family.
When we talk about abuse on here…. its part of the real world outside chatrooms. Members of LGBT community can be abusive like anyone else. While the anonymous guest system was operating trying to identify a persons sexuality was impossible. In many ways this is still the case with members choosing the information they share with other users of the site.
Mass banning?
Whizz, Merlin, Tracy and Guru have a history of ban’s. The simple truth is: if you spend too long on the site… sooner or later you will lose it and cause trouble.
Budha is right…..being sat here all day eating cold bake beans in front of a 3 bar electric fire with only one bar turn on….waiting for the meter to die
All my benefits were spent on names on here
Its so hard being the only one in the room trying to type in 9 different names
I pmmed myself once by mistake and then saw me naked on cam….. it was kind of kinky
