Don’t get what precisely? My belief is everyone should be seen as the same, as equal, irrespective of creed, colour, race or sexual orientation. What I don’t get is all the different groups that spring up, celebrating their differenceness.
Shouldn’t we all be treated the same, or do you feel people should be treated differently because of their sexual orientation or skin colour?

Eh? Are you saying it's the OP's fault for posting it?

People AREN'T treated the same. Hence groups like this. Pevenseagull sums it up pretty eloquently a few posts back.

Do you know my sexual preference? Or are you just making judgements because I don’t toe the party line?
Someone posted on the Shane Duffy Twitter thread that as a gay man they weren’t outraged by his comments, but more bothered that people thought he should be.
Maybe I am being naive, but surely the way for everyone to be treated equally is to treat everybody equally... or do you favour positive discrimination?

LGBTQ+ groups form for reasons such as solidarity and self protection. Society as a whole is, by and large, one big straight club, where its members do not generally have to fear abuse or violence because of their sexuality. I doubt Proud Seagulls is discriminatory in the way that you imply (to make your clumsy political point.) In fact, if you applied, I imagine you would be able to join the group.
No.

Despite the dearth of wit in your post, I agree: It would be great to have a group of Albion supporters joining together to fight fascism.

Oh give it up you sad *******. Enjoy the fact that some of your fellow fans have set up a group that will help those in their community. Who is being treated differently by this group being set up? You’re being deliberately obtuse.

The thought police are out in force on this thread, like they are on many others. If you do not agree with their PC neo liberal views you are one or all of the following in their vitriolic opinion: Stupid, idiotic, racist, racist, homophobic, small minded, evil, antiquated, irrelevant , nasty, bigoted, far right, Nazi etc etc ad infinitum.
What happened to being able to have a different opinion?
Well how long you got? This is the board who managed to tear itself apart when Tom Daley announces he’s having a baby[emoji23]
I'm not joining in with this binfest, but you could argue: why not? We are all Brighton supporters that's true, it's the one thing that unites us. But even the white heterosexual ones have some different groups reflecting a shared characteristic. Geographical location being one (Seagulls over London, Seagulls Down Under, etc). I think there is also a group for people with disabilities. These groups give the chance for people in the same situation to swap experiences and tips. I really don't see the problem in a new group forming with an identical aim: so that people in a similar life situation don't have to feel that they're on their own.
