  • It's hard to imagine a time when being gay could land men in jail but that was the reality in Australia for many years. In fact, Australia is home to what is thought to have been the world's only prison for homosexuals.

    What that guy said at the very end about “it’s up to the broader community to decide whether we should say sorry” is so wrong. Yes, we have to make the choice to say sorry, but ultimately it’s up to whoever was harmed and persecuted to determine when an apology is necessary, because they are the ones who actually went through it. You were wrong, just apologize.

      That way of thinking would have been very persuasive here in Ireland around the same time and even later into the 1980s...and the primary reason for that was that the Catholic Church has a very strong hold on Irish society and was indeed part of every social institution within Ireland as well...and what's more you didn't ever dare challenge the church or it's teachings in Ireland for fear of negative consequences...thankfully following the expose of a series of scandals from within the church which rocked Irish society, the way of thinking towards homosexuality has changed significantly...but there's still those out there who believe it to be a "menace" and typically because they view homosexuality as something which "destabilises" society...

      Juan: Offensive behavior is almost always defined in law as behavior that offends the people in power. After all, the can make and alter the laws. The people in power then convince a large percentage of the general public that said behavior is offensive without giving the other side a chance to rebut the argument, or even to come out of the closet, as it were, to try to rebut the argument. Remember, the system is set up and being controlled by those already in power. Why on earth the rest of the populace listen to them or to a particularly charismatic leader just because he (how often is it a "she") seems convinced of the argument he's selling?

    Too much freedom is not good. Freedom is not absolute! Freedom is not an excuse to do just everything you want because it violates other’s people freedom as well.. Otherwise, there will be chaos. Look at the US now.. It’s a hot mess! A hell hole indeed.. Australia still has that right amount of balance at least.. But I hope the world sticks to proper morals..

    No it won't help once you acknowledge that someone who says they're a victim is a victim they never stop whining complaining and asking for free stuff . It allows them to say anything they want to say and if you object they'll just call you a bigot and a racist so there's no reason to apologize they're going to do the same thing that they perceived you did to them to you .
