Its just the normal shit that is dished out at all games there is no malice ,rightly or wrongly Brighton is considered the Gay capital of England and we get stick for it.
It could be worse look at Celtic and Rangers.

This is a really funny thread , I do hope our lot don't start that homophobic crap on Satdi. However would advise against wearing YMCA outfits in Barnsley, you would fit in too well.
It's not that simple. Many who chant anti homosexual comments are doing so in gest, but many actually aren't. And the reality is that some people are offended by it. For example, Jim Davidson's best mates might be black (yeah right), and when he throws bananas he might think it's funny and everyone knows he doesn't really think black people are monkeys etc etc, but it does cause offence.
Just because you only see humour in these chants, doesn't mean there's not more to them, and doesn't mean that others aren't offended.

Hatred lol.....oh do grow up,please.....they are not aiming it at you, they are aiming it at 18,000 people of which a tiny percenage are gay...No im not gay and I think its quite funny....If you are offended by it you are a very insecure person imho......We call Gills fans pikeys but they dont all live on camp sites, only 95% of them.
No...not insecure at all-and thats why i am able to call it hatred and await the backlash from those of you who are and think the 'banter' is okay..funny how times change...it was only 'banter' in the eighties when i remember bananas were regularly thrown alongside monkey chants,'******'and 'coon'...i guess even you might agree that is rightly perceived as hatred now-just racial,rather than sexual orientation.
And assumptions,assumptions...what makes you think im queer?
I'm sorry but you are very over sensitive. How on earth is singing the "we can see you holding hands" song anything like making monkey noises & throwing bananas at a black player? Its not aimed at an individual. Its aimed at thousands of Brighton fans whatever our sexual orientation to get a reaction. You really need to toughen up a bit.
No...is not about having to toughen up.it is not the point about having an understanding of the difference between individual targetting and'terrace banter'.i guess it is telling that much of the reaction is aimed at me having a problem..how about thinking about why the FA has been forced into making a stand?because of the idea that this is 'harmless fun' and those of us that take offense have the problem there are no 'out' gay footballers.
It is not harmless fun,i do have a sense of humour-and a wish to move from the dark ages into a time when we could maybe be at the forefront of a movement that meant all were of equal worth in a football stadium...
NSC....first they came for the disabled...
Then they came for the queers....

Terrace banter, that's all it is.
Do 2,500 CPFC fans really think the 20,000 Brighton fans are homosexual?
And away from football, are those CPFC fans any more or less homophobic than Brighton fans?
Does the wind-up, make it more likely that a hate crime against a gay person will occur at a later date?
I believe no to all 3.
It just anything to try and wind up, all false, and they know it.
Racism, aimed at say a black player, is totally different. Is a hate crime, against someone who obviously is coloured. Illegal, and rightly so.

You do realise saying the word "coloured" is actually offensive?
All gone very PC now hasn't it.
Is there anything that can't be considered offensive by someone these days? If we keep on like this you won't be even able to wear a cross around your neck if your a Christian! Oh, hang on....
