My unpopular opinion is that I'm sick of minorities dictating to everyone else what they should be saying and doing. fk that.
Could you name just one thing that you're being forced to do as a result of dictating minorities?

I'll happily agree it's likely highly unusual but it does happen....

My unpopular opinion is having a different opinion to the Mrs. She finds that somewhat unpopular as I'm apparently expected to agree with her on everything.

One of those difference of opinions is that 'opinions' are not 'facts', despite what the Mrs might think. I've learnt to live with it though, most opinion based conversations are shut down quickly before she escalates them into arguements for not agreeing with her!

An indication of what? I asked MeScroggs what he’s being forced to do. Is he being forced to do RuPaul impressions?

It’s a family event ruined by some drag queen doing an obscene act in front of kids
M we aren’t being forced to do anything other than to not act, not speak out because if I dare to share my antiquated view that a woman with a cock is a man with tits I’d lose my job

the 'no religion' people don't tend to stand out though, and there are far more of them.

In the example given plenty of people HAVE acted and HAVE spoken out and HAVE shared their views (antiquated or otherwise). They appear to have received an apology.

So....who's being forced to do something by those pesky minorities?

But it just shouldn’t have happened in the first place, so ergo being forced to accept something.

We had an instance up here of a drag act called Flow Job being called in to perform in front of young children. Is that acceptable? Not in my world certainly..... happened on that skanky wee junkie Mhairi Blacks watch......

We seem to be going around in circles.

The fact that it happened in the first place was a misjudgement by the Owners of the establishment. The "minorities" didn't force them to hold the show. Or to look at it another way, if the "minorities" were forcing people to watch then it couldn't have been cancelled. If you're "forced" to do something you don't have an option.

Prize money should be based on what you can negotiate not just because another gender gets more.

I'm talking about women's football in particular - just because the men get paid £Xm doesn't mean that the women should get paid £Xm. it should be based on commercial value.

disagree totally - organiser thinks that they're getting widow Twky instead they get a few deviants who can't (or don't want to) modify their act because there are minors present. That's forcing.

In fairness I'd also level a similar complaint at 'music' like Wet Ass Pussy (with accompanying dance/bump 'n' grind) being played at a family event...

If you're bumping and grinding to kids you're a deviant regardless of your sexuality or gender

Isn’t it ridiculous you have to defend calling it out for what it is.

The act of being gay, transgender, drag queen, vegan etc is not deviant but grinding someone’s arse in a sexual nature in front of kids is.

From my experience, the worst for hiring illegals are Hispanic owned businesses.
