My take as a gay sportsperson is this.

I decided long ago, that I wouldn't tolerate homophobic language in my presence. I've always challenged it, sometimes at significant physical risk to myself. That's the only reason I posted to the previous thread. I shouldn't have posted to this thread at all.

An encouraging thing about the previous thread, was the number of presumeably straight people who stood up to the mark and challenged the OP's prejudice. Many straight people won't do that, because (a) it doesn't affect them personally so they just don't care, or (b) they're worried that their friends will think they're gay themselves.

To that extent, the previous thread *was* useful, and *does* benfit this forum, because it shows that there *are* straight climbers who challenge ignorant prejudice. I say well done to all concerned.

I will stfu now.
