Thanks, MCV and Matthew Mitcham. Wouldn't it be great to have a gay gold winner - good luck Matthew! - Paul Beamish Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:16:23 +0100 http://mcv.e-p.net.au/features/making-a-splash-3600.html#comment-420 Well done, Matthew! He's right! Straight people do discuss their sexuality openly and in public, their marriages, their spouses, their children. The fact they wear wedding rings publicly is yet another display of their sexuality and with whom they sleep. Yet, when LGBT people demand their rights, we're told to shut up, be quiet, be discreet, and sometimes told to not shove our sexual orientation down their collective throats. Well, I have news for them! Stop shoving yours down ours every day, 365, 24/7, in the media, on the street, in the film industry, tv, you name it,then maybe we'll do the same, but until we've won our full equality and deservedly so, we'll not shut up and we're not going back to the closet where you want us to be, unless YOU do of course. You straights need to quit the hypocrisy and the double standards, and while I'm at it, the bigotry. - Robert W.

Congrats, Matt. - Daniel Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:52:13 +0100
