It's good you've had time to reflect. Of course soldiers will engage in same sex, all the more when you're lumped together for a lot of time away from the usual life & face extraordinary stress & are usually young. This has zero to to with "our diggers" because our diggers like all soldiers include: heterosexual, homosexual & transgender folk. Like the rest of the population the last two being in a minority however.

Seriously though, I believe same sex acts were not uncommon in the types of circumstances noted without being homosexual. This is not a slur on soldiers.

Anyways, I'm told you have a lovely bunch of coconuts Wink Razz

The only soldiers that would have same sex sex would be that way inclined anyway, and that , no doubt would have happened ,but to suggest it was rife and by hetro men is stupidity and has no proof or facts to back it up.

I didn't say it was rife but it used to be looked on differently & it was not uncommon. It certainly did happen. Read Gore Vidal (amongst others). To say having same sex sex only ever occurred between homosexuals is being naive.

(I'll do some more research & get back to you).

My old school Motto & school song was "onwards & upwards & may the pillars be behind you" Wink

Melbourne Boys High School - lost a few in WW1, WW2 etc. & had ex natios' do their HSC after Vietnam. Mind you I was too young & too straight to survey them at the time.

Would having sex with David be considered same sex sex or is it borderline hetro?

Just a quick google search came up with this:

1.

Also:

2.

Soldiers with conventional domestic lives found the baths a convenient place for sleep, showers, and sex. The general habitus were a mix of every sort of ...

From a Biography of Gore Vidal:

3.

Interesting read age 248:

The criminalisation of homosexuality & homosexual acts was linked to the McCarthy witch hunts to root out commies, gays etc ...

"In short, the regulations do not penalize soldiers for engaging in [same-sex] acts; they penalize soldiers who have engaged in [same-sex] acts only when the Army decides that those soldiers are actually gay.52 The distinction between an act..."

No worriesI appreciate your clarification. For me, it depends on what you mean by "bombardment". If it were people literally grabbing you by your shoulders and screaming "I'm gay" in your face for hours on end, that could be pretty annoying. But when it comes to things that actually happen, like gay people appearing on TV, in movies or in advertising, couples holding hands in public or people holding street marches to celebrate their lifestyle, I think that's a good and important thing because it means they don't have to be ashamed of their sexuality or consider it something worth hiding. It's important to know you're not alone.

It is all about politics (sexual) and not football! Each to their own (sexual) preference, but politics ruins everything. Just ask the Greeks. Razz


You STILL don't know why this topic isn't in VPT eh Collie? Whoops. Say hello to Jack next time you take a shower together.

As for you Hiss, I saw you and Bert....I mean Bertha at a game last year. How much did it cost for Bertha's Bangkok operation? Mighty fine job for sure, but you should remind her to wear the gloves. Nobody reads my posts so don't worry, your secret is safe with my partner and I and anyways, you two are just as good as the rest of us.

As for you David, Tannin and WPT, chiding BHPie, you're such meanies. Why can't you just leave him alone to (I'm a dinosaur)-bash till his heart's content? You know ultra-right-wing fundamentalists aren't very bright; they're the sort of people who believe changing the law will mean jock-strap clad roller-bladers or 'Brokeback Cowboys' in arseless-chaps invading their suburbs the next day. Can't ya just back off?

I shouldn't just argue that amending the law for marriage equality is the right thing to do, or that it will make life more bearable for lonely men in hick-desert-towns in outback Australia, worthy reasons to be sure, but there's a better reason; I wanna see BHpie's head explode like a bag full of shit dropped from a helicopter.

There is a very strange thing going on here. A few posters appear to have a total obsession with gays and their sexual habits. I am inclined to wonder why? Get this stupid thread and the posters I refer to above out of this site before more people leave.

The thread has grown legs & was all about 2 Footy players joining the Gay pride march about 12 months ago.

A gentle pulling of Hiss's leg has assisted but not caused the thread to move.

However, regardless & dare I say "moving forward" (oh how I hate that term), the thread should stick to it's origins. This will be more pertinent when the AFL gay round or whatever it's called will be an event in 2014 tokenistic or not.

Oh ok then. Lets have the names. I suspect there are none, but you seem to have fantasies that there are. Sorry disappoint but there are none because they would have come out by now. No pressure anymore. Even that American star footballer has declared he bats for the other side. So you wanting players prancing around in feathers doesn't mean there is or will be any. My old man always said that young blokes need a good beer and the right role models to get them thinking straight. And he mean't straight as in their mental thoughts. Join the Army son. See the world. Enjoy the best women and a good long hard beer. Those methods work. If we had these values today, no bloke would want to be gay.

Your dreaming, I'd bet there are at least a few, and so what? As long as they kick straight, who care how they ****?
