If a person is of decent character, then who cares whether he or she is more interested in blokes or sheilas.
Hey I'm not riding the discrimination pony, just getting tired at "those" people being defended into untouchable tribes.
My views are well known to people like Rumpole and they are my views alone.
Last week I was at a wedding that included two friends in their fifties who are coupled. The DJ was playing disco, a sure sign I should bust some moves and like bees to honey for "those" types.They just stayed put so after an hour of making John Travolta look like Kel Night I asked them why they weren't dancing and the stubborn reply was predicable, so I said I would dance with them if that was all they were worried about ... in the end my daughter dragged one up on the dance floor and the self imposed exile ended without even a whimper, apology or defence.

A prominent Saudi Arabian cleric has whipped up controversy by issuing a religious ruling forbidding the building of snowmen, describing them as anti-Islamic.
When asked on a religious website if it was permissible for fathers to build snowmen for their children after a snowstorm in the country's north, Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid replied: "It is not permitted to make a statue out of snow, even by way of play and fun."
Quoting from Muslim scholars, Sheikh Munajjid argued that to build a snowman was to create an image of a human being, an action considered sinful under the kingdom's strict interpretation of Sunni Islam.
"God has given people space to make whatever they want which does not have a soul, including trees, ships, fruits, buildings and so on," he wrote in his ruling.
That provoked swift responses from Twitter users writing in Arabic and identifying themselves with Arab names.
"They are afraid for their faith of everything ... sick minds," one Twitter user wrote.
Another posted a photo of a man in formal Arab garb holding the arm of a "snow bride" wearing a bra and lipstick.
"The reason for the ban is fear of sedition," he wrote.
A third said the country was plagued by two types of people: "A people looking for a fatwa (religious ruling) for everything in their lives, and a cleric who wants to interfere in everything in the lives of others through a fatwa," the user wrote.
Sheikh Munajjid had some supporters, however.
"It (building snowmen) is imitating the infidels, it promotes lustiness and eroticism," one wrote.
"May God preserve the scholars, for they enjoy sharp vision and recognise matters that even Satan does not think about."
Snow has covered upland areas of Tabuk province near Saudi Arabia's border with Jordan for the third consecutive year as cold weather swept across the Middle East.

Sick, joyless nut cases!Snowmen condemned in Saudi Arabia amid concern they 'promote lustiness and eroticism'
Oh dear, snowmen put on ice in Saudi Arabia. Sounds as cold there as the heart of a Muslim cleric.
Unfortunately, the radical feminist movement strongly influenced the Church, leading the Church to constantly address women’s issues at the expense of addressing critical issues important to men;
The goodness and importance of men became very obscured, and for all practical purposes, were not emphasized at all.
The Church becomes very feminized. Women are wonderful, of course. They respond very naturally to the invitation to be active in the Church. Apart from the priest, the sanctuary has become full of women. The activities in the parish and even the liturgy have been influenced by women and have become so feminine in many places that men do not want to get involved.
The introduction of girl servers also led many boys to abandon altar service. Young boys don’t want to do things with girls. It’s just natural. The girls were also very good at altar service. So many boys drifted away over time. I want to emphasize that the practice of having exclusively boys as altar servers has nothing to do with inequality of women in the Church.
We can also see that our seminaries are beginning to attract many strong young men who desire to serve God as priests. The new crop of young men are manly and confident about their identity. This is a welcome development, for there was a period of time when men who were feminized and confused about their own sexual identity had entered the priesthood; sadly some of these disordered men sexually abused minors; a terrible tragedy for which the Church mourns.
The girls were also very good at altar service. So many boys drifted away over time.

The reality is that Catholic priests are just ordinary people who are not chosen by God, have no divine powers and are no more worthy of hero worship than anyone else.

Numbers 21:8
"And the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.”

Its amazing how few Christians actually try that trick

About 150 churches in the states currently use venomous snakes in religious rituals and there have been several deaths ( surprise surprise).
