One particular dimwit thinks "You burnt your own town" is on the same acceptable level as 'homophobic chanting'

Palace campaign to end homophobic chanting......

You display a very basic misunderstanding of sexuality. If it wasn't bordering on homophobic it'd be laughable.

It's not but they have a point over sheep shaggers!

I work at Gatwick with 2 palace fans and they are both openly gay.
Not sure if that's any relevance to this thread

As Comedy Steve pointed out during his brilliant performance at Build A Bonfire on Wednesday, gay sex is an act of pleasure, between consenting adults, whereas sheep shagging is illegal animal rape.
Surprisingly bang on topic from me.... I was at Palace : Albion in the 70s, when they had Hilaire and we had a black player (tempted to say Rambo but my memory is weak) and the two sets of supporters exchanged monkey chants each time the relevant player got the ball (only one black player in each team of course, according the the 'rules' of the day - adding a little flair but not temperamentally suited to leadership or defensive roles). At some point the absurdity hit home and people started laughing. But it carried on . . . . embarrassing to think about it.
WRT the 'promoting' comment of someone who should no better, I think Edna dealt with that. Very sad to find that there are people still who think that, for example, if I like to liten to Velvet Acid Christ it means I must want to eat their children.

I think they like to be considered the crusaders of the premier league and defenders against the dark Lord sky, and wealthy corporations who ravage and pillage football clubs and fans alike ,obviously with the exception of themselves.
And of course every sports pundit and reporter is salivating at the thought of what they can print next about the protectors of our national sport ....arise Sir palace where would we all be without you.
im not personally offended by anything yelled or chanted at football but homophobic and racial abuse has no place. I found the CPFC statement rather patronising in a " don't pick on the whoopsies" kind of way. While I have no problem with them or their fans beyond rivalry "bants" they really are a backwards, tinpot, disingenuous, third divisional, £ Shop of a "team".

Maybe when we straight people have endured centuries of persecution and hatred for falling in love with someone we can have a nice parade as well. Until then, we've got no reason to have one.

Does this mean we have to stop calling them Pikies 
It's actually taken their LGBT fans to do something about it, because their backward fans would never relent. Their statement backs up what I've always said against homophobic chanting.Proves the point that Palarse fans generally are to$$ers..
What?
It's not Gay Pride, it's Pride. It has evolved. So should you.

Unless the ovine in question is a bit of a slag who's well up for it. We'll have to leave it open to question until the boffins learn to talk 'sheep'.

I wonder just how genuine Palaces campaign is? The last times we played their shitty fans were using many chants of a homophobic nature and it's likely next season they'll be more of the same and Palace know this.
So is this a genuine moral crusade, or a club that realises it might face sanctions if history likely repeats and thus just as Brightons promotion is confirmed it moves to be seen to be doing something?
I'd guess the latter, it wouldn't be happening if we weren't promoted.

Yes, but scum is still bang on the money!
I don't agree this is the case. But, if it was, so what?

Showing us in everyday situations, doing what the rest of the community takes for granted (holding hands in public, a quick peck on he check etc) is not promoting or even celebrating homosexuality. The fact that its still a "news" story that The Doctors companion is gay, rather than just a apart of that persons character shows how far there still is to go. A friend of mine in a northernish town was recently really worried as his sexuality had become known and he had genuine concerns as to the reaction of his friends, acquaintances and family. In a supposedly liberal country, the suicide rate for young gay teens is still alarmingly high, where school bullying and homophobic attacks are still common place , where young teens are still forced to leave home because of their sexuality ,ANYTHING that shows us to be nothing more or less than the rest of society is a good thing. When I was growing up and discovering I was gay, there was nothing on tv showing gay men in any "normal" situations, the only things were sordid nasty references about "those" sorts of men, really encouraging for a 14 year old boy I can tell you, so no, acceptance has not yet been achieved and why the bloody hell should I be happy with someone "accepting" me, your phrasing itself implies that I have something that needs to accepted
