    Really? How brave? Has he gone toe to toe in war?
    Has he or one of his loved ones fought a life threatening disease on a daily basis?
    Brave is a word that is fast off the tongue in my opinion.

    It would be more like 88% if this survey was done in Italy or Eastern Europe.

    Brave - 'endure or face (unpleasant conditions or behaviour) without showing fear'

    Yeah, I think Kellie Maloney was brave.

    Some people are unclear of the meaning of bravery in my opinion.

    It was brave of Kellie Maloney to make homophobic comments when standing as a UKIP candidate.

    Never understood why a natural condition like homosexuality and lesbianism arouses such animosity and fear. Sexuality is determined by chemical reactions in the brain and hormone levels. Therefore, whilst Homosexuality and Lesbianism is not the norm it IS perfectly natura and quite common in nature.

    Kellie Maloney's situation is slightly different as being able to have sex change operations is a relatively recent development. Homosexuals and Lesbians are attracted to the same sex in the vast majority of cases without the need or desire to change their own appearance. Cross dressers and transvestites are not always homosexuals and some are happily married. Villification is a throwback to religous zealotry and it is about time that we stopped it and treated people as people, the one exception being paedophiles. Talking of that, there is no link as far as I am aware between Homosexuality and paedophiles before anyone accuses me of implying otherwise.
    Having spent many years in the entertainment industry I have met, worked with and had many friends both homosexual and Lesbian , some were great people others not so. In other words ordinary people. Personally I find overt displays of homosexual behaviour uncomfortable e.g. men kissing in public but that is simply as a heterosexual male and my problem to get over. I dont like homosexuals who camp it up to get a reaction in the same way as heterosexual men and women who overtly display their sexuality .
    As an aside, where did the word 'Gay' become synonymous with homosexuality and Lesbianism rather than the original meaning of happy and bright

    Is having a disease a sign of bravery?

    How you deal with a disease can certainly be a sign of bravery. But I dont see the relevance - or are you implying LBGT's have a disease ( which I doubt)

    I was just replying to tilertoes who gave examples of bravery and said living with a disease.

    I don't really like the word brave for describing somebody who faces a tough or horrible experience like a disease, I'm not sure what word I would use though
