That's because the women feel safer around the gay men and vice versa.

Another sad indictment of our society.
& tend to share more in common/have more mutual interests?

Because gay men tend to forge closer friendships with straight women than they do straight men.

Come on, everyone knows this.
Do you really not realise how homophobic you are?

There was gay men in my sixth form - a good one as well (g Clitheroe) when I attended around 2010.

Still the same, boys being boys. It’s just how it is
Right. Put the rod away.

Cool Claret, If I had a stag do, I would expect my gay friends to come on the stag do. If my intended had male gay friends they would be welcome on my do, or if they preferred to go on the hen do, that would be ok too. It might just be decided how effeminate/artistic they might be but my gay friends wouldn’t feel that their sexuality would deny them an invitation. Any straight friend who didn’t want my gay friends there wouldn’t be invited. Hope that helps. Your reality and my reality seem very different.
Ok well good for you, you’re all obviously brilliant and have no obvious differences that differentiates you in any way.

Move on over to the absolute vast majority of people and you’ll find that on the whole gay men and straight men tend to not forge close friendships to the same level as straight women and gay men do.

There’s nothing wrong with that either, it’s just reality.

No more to say, enjoy.

All the best to Jake Daniels

Not always no, because they're entirely different people.
Gay men still like the same things as straight men, work in the same industries, share the same hobbies etc.

Yes there will be a number who're more effeminate, but that's also a stereotype courtesy of TV/film and people take it as given.

I think Coolclaret is probably a decent bloke but jeez his views are so far off the mark it’s scary that there are still people around who think like him.

Absolutely not personal but it just goes to show how much education is required when somebody with good intentions still gets it so badly wrong

Cool Claret, I think you might be surprised how many gay footballers there are, which kind of goes against your straight/gay, ‘not much in common’ argument.

Who knows, apparently 7% of men in the UK are gay.

Around 5000 pro footy players, so if % is the same we’re looking at 350, but I don’t think that 7% of pro footy players will be gay.

There’s obviously more than 1 that’s for sure

You go out during the day to a city, you see a group of guys on the beer I guarantee the absolute vast majority are straight lads all together and then you’ll see some groups of girls with gay male friends as part of their group.
Suggesting that you can ascertain somebody’s sexuality by their appearance isn’t a good look.

I think unfortunately on these subjects which do become ‘politically correct’ there should be more humour added to diffuse these sort of potentially escalating arguments. I would like Leanne Sanderson and a straight female footballer to make it easier for straight female players to ‘come out’ as straight.

I can't give you statistics but my anecdotal experience is telling me that you're way off the mark here. Moreover, show me the statistics that evidence your view.

I know plenty of gay men and the vast majority are no different in any way/how they act/ the way they behave than the straight men I know. You're making the assumption (incorrectly) that all/most gay men are feminine and enjoy spending their time with women more than men. That is the small (but often more 'out there') minority. Give some thought to the fact that for each gay man you see who is spending time with women, there are numerous more out there having a good crack with their group of mates. The only reason you don't know they're gay is because they're doing all the things you would stereotypically associate with straight men. You can't stereotype those men as easily as you are doing those who are with the women.

I think for the most part gay men tend to have different interests than straight men and partake in different subjects/activities.

Just look at course selection by demographics in colleges.

Engineering is always clapped out full of guys with the odd female, I’m talking maybe one or two in the entire year.

Makeup hair/beauty / travel and tourism tend to be female with the odd gay male.

Obviously there are overlaps but I’m talking about for the most part! Of course there are gay men that love football and other sports - good for them!

This is absolutely fine and there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just how people are.

My point in essence is that people are different and that’s a good thing. Great

This is your problem CoolClaret. You're stereotyping that flamboyant (your word, not mine) individual as gay because of their behaviour. You can't stereotype the gay men who are out with their male friends can you? It might come as a shock but they are out there and in quite significant numbers.

I’ll hand on heart say that I know next to no males that are gay that aren’t at least a little bit ‘more eccentric’.

I know btw that not very gay man is ‘camp’ or whatever, I just don’t know of hardly any.

When I lived in Dallas I lived next to a gay couple. One you immediately knew he was gay, his partner not even remotely. I've found that often to be the case. Without wanting to start an argument and ruin another important thread I would suggest our "stereotypical" view is somewhat outdated

That’s exactly the point, you’d be happy to reveal which town you live in for example and I would guess most would be willing to announced that they are straight. Why is it different?
Because everyone’s sexuality is their own business, no one else’s. This modern liberal openness where everything has to be proclaimed is very alien to Burnley. We may be liberally minded but we still don’t air our washing in the street.

I apologise if I’ve caused any offence
You are not trying to be homophobic, you are homophobic.

Can coolclaret start a thread for everyone who shares his painfully ignorant views …. Then can we just ban them all from this message board… and the turf.

I know there are clarets who share these views. I just wish there wasn’t. It taints the club I love.

So at approx 28 years of age, you are still quite happily uneducated in life. Not sure it’s something to be so at ease with. I’m wondering if you do actively socialise. If you do how would you cope with one of your friends ‘coming out’?

If people want tolerance it should include accepting different views and discussing it without abuse. I couldn’t see the need why someone would need to ‘come out’ as it shouldn’t affect the way they are perceived or what they do. I don’t think someone’s sexuality defines them. I thought Spiral’s post in response was very interesting and a good post.

I had thought that we would end up with an 'out' gay player kind of by default, someone who was out as a teenager that then signed as a pro and his being 'out' already on social media would get picked up.
For those that don't understand why a gay player needs to come out it's because they have have to keep their private life completely secret if they aren't out. Especially if they are high profile. How can they trust that a partner won't go to the press if they break up and out them? How do they meet someone without the press get a sniff of a story. What Jake has done is ground breaking, but it is also hugely liberating for him as he can live his life without constantly wondering if today will be the day that someone sell a story about him. If he has a boyfriend he can take him to the club's end of season do. He can go on holiday with him without having to pretend they are mates. He can go to gay club or bar or on to grindr if he is single and looking for a fella without the fear of being seen. He can basically get on with his private life like any other 17 pro rather than having to live a secret double life. Good on him.

A cousin of mine came out in 2016. You couldn't meet a less camp or 'flamboyant' bloke if you tried. He served in the army for 10 years, 5 of those as a sergeant. He's certainly not an odd one out. Gay people come in all shape and sizes etc, just like everyone else. I can't believe this has to be said in this day and age.

Ok well good for you, you’re all obviously brilliant and have no obvious differences that differentiates you in any way.

Move on over to the absolute vast majority of people and you’ll find that on the whole gay men and straight men tend to not forge close friendships to the same level as straight women and gay men do.

There’s nothing wrong with that either, it’s just reality.

No more to say, enjoy.

All the best to Jake Daniels
Give over.

Some absolutely remarkable and ignorant posts on this thread and some to a degree homophobic.

If ever a thread should be of a positive nature (largely at least) this one is it.

I have known a lot of gay men in my life. I have worked with some. I have been to Burnley games with some. I have played sport with some and I have and still employ some

Some have been fantastic human beings. Some have not. There are clearly extremist views on this thread. None of which serve any purpose. I’ll leave it at that
