I'm not gay, and I really don't care who is or isn't. I'm not going to judge someone by what god they chose to pray to or who they chose to live their life with.......we're all here because we like raising chickens and other fowl.

I won't say either way what I agree or don't agree with but I will say that I think they need to post what HappyChooks said on the very top of the BYC page in huge bold print. If you don't like a thread or what it contains then MOVE ON!!! I get so sick and tired of having a nice conversation with chicken friends just to have it shut down because one person doesn't agree. Irks me to no end. Alot of really good threads have gotten shut down and have you ever noticed that it always seems to be the same people that get them shut down??

That's wonderful, that goes to show the maturity and character of the mods, thanks again to them for allowing the gay community to have a place to talk about poultry. I myself am not gay, but I do support them.

To the OP im sorry you feel outta place cuz of your sexual bias. I may not agree with ur choice but id never make u feel outta place. Honestly you should just say forget those who dont accept you. I do that myself with many other issues. Ppl either like you and can accept you or are not worth your time or thoughts. Be yourself and then the people around you will be your true friends

I don't consider myself homosexual or bisexual, but I have ended up feeling uncomfortable when I went alone to different gatherings, more or less because I didn't know anyone there.

I now usually have a couple really close friends go to different events with me, just so I don't end up sitting alone. A couple of good friends may also come in handy if an event gets rowdy or people turn ugly.
You shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable at any All Ages events. Many of those events may have single people, dating couples or childless couples, so it's not always parents with their kids hanging around. It's always good to ask around about an event you haven't been to and get an idea of what usually goes on, as some get togethers have parent/child games, or may be geared more for couples with children more than single people or childless couples.
Rural and country areas and even some city areas can be rough depending on who you are, and sometimes it may just be in your best interest to avoid those types of situations. If you know a group of people by name that has shown hostility to you, it's better to not show up to any small event they may be at. Your being there could be seen as provocation to a fight, even if you had innocent intentions.
Some people cannot be pleased no matter what you do or how nice you are. My family had run into this during an annual community project and the stubborn folks who couldn't be appeased ended up being the reason the project ended. It's better to avoid a situation that will give you grief than to go to a family BBQ and have everyone on your back.

Perhaps you could hold your own BBQ or party and invite people you know aren't going to cause a fuss.
