Post subject: Gay couples icons
Posted: Wed Jun 4, 2008 10:06 am
Hi all
Just a question that I have raised before and was told the "new" chatrooms would address.
We are frequent chatters both in the bi/gay rooms and in a Lincs room if one is online. We pay to use the site as a couple, a male gay couple, and we appear as extra with a pink and blue X. Can the system not recognise all mate or all female partners and set icons accordingly?
It has become quite funny the amount of sex starved horny lads that start chatting or whispering us only then to realise we are a gay couple, and scurry off with arse cheeks firmly clenched.
Mind you have said that most lads we have met up with are listed as straight anyway!!!!!
Thanks
M and D x

oh gosh you are almost funny tan
weeeeeelllllll, the gay couple icon thing is a teeny weeny bit of a bug bear for me.
The site plan is for the new chatrooms to have the new icon in. The particular 'contributions' that I have made on this subject have been noted and I have been assured that this is something that will be happening.
It would seem from Tan's post that my 'contribution's' have been noted by more than just the site admin team.

By hating everybody with the same amount of effort removes the possibility of discrimination doesn't it?

ummmmm it depends on the reasons for hating them. But in theory that could work.

So maybe afew words about equality then....
At the company I work at there are two carparks. One next to the main building, with extra wide spaces. These are allocated to the female staff. The second carpark, over the road from the office, are the normal sized spaces (for the blokes). Now you will immediately think that this allocation of carpark spaces is sexist, and you are absolutely right. The real reason for the segregation in the car parks is because there have been a number of muggings in the area and the management would prefer the next victim not to be one of the female staff.
So as you can see, we are nowhere near a state of equilibrium, and the sooner we get there, the happier I'll be.

My next words of wisdom will probably be on what Hilary Clinton should do now she's got plenty of free time on her hands

And all I did was ask about getting 2 blue symbols for gay male couples and 2 pink symbols for gay female couples.
