School chaplains need counselling : Comments

By Brian Greig, published 1/7/2014

Some 30 per cent of all youth suicides are from LGBTI kids who didn’t or couldn’t get the care and support they really needed.

Eric,When Feminists talk about equality of the sexes I often reply "Why would you set your sights so low?"
Biology? Show me the scientific explanation for your state of mind, since when has homosexual behaviour been anything but an aspect of masculinity?.
I can inform you that it sucks to be a straight, White, middle aged man about 99% of the time too under the present zeitgeist but we don't go looking for excuses or constantly try to blame other people for our problems.
Surprise, surprise, society sees men as obsolete and they try to grind us down every minute of every day, the only difference is that they pretend to like people like you to set up these phoney conflicts between men to keep us busy.
The LGBTIQ activists don't care about you, the government doesn't care about you, the church and the state don't care about you and a good number of your fellow men despise their own gender...welcome to manhood in 2014.

Divine man, what rubbish you write, Eric G & Suseonline very understanding and compassionate writers.
Divine man what makes you think that any student is going to tell a school chaplain of any religion that he or she is gay, when it is preached by them that homosexuality is a sin, if he had HIV- Aids that would be multiplied a thousand times for disclosure to him, let alone telling anyone except his treating Doctor
"Divine" people have no compassion except for themselves

lets see, false statistics are quoted, chaplains demonised and then the attackers claim the victim status because people point out home truths.

"@divine_msn One of my references comes from the ABS, the difference being yours was full of navel gazing estimates of your own concoction and mine was what ABS actually got from their data on GLBTI. It isn't enough that you be homophobic but you must be deceitful as well with stats."

Eric G - below is the link to the area from which my information came:
http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/3303.0~2012~Main%20Features~Age~10010

Also I never mentioned a skerrick of compassion for 'gay suicide'. I said in an earlier post that the death of any young person by suicide was tragic. Not my habit to differentiate people according to who they wish to have sex with.

Suseonline - Always thought you were a intelligent logical poster - even when I didn't agree with you. What's with your comments? Eric is blaming sexual orientation for everything from STI occurrence to career failure - rather than individual behaviour and attitude. But that's not 'rubbish'?

I must only know more mature intelligent 'gays' who get on with life, work, relationships and in most cases don't wear their sexuality like a badge of honour or a crown of thorns.

You would have to be aware that Chaplains refer any young person whose problems are deep seated to more specialised services. They are a first contact and their job is to be a patient non-judgemental listener first and foremost. Religion is deemed to be a topic of discussion only if the person seeking solace raises it from what I've been told.

Eric - bless his little cotton socks - comes across as a professional dramatist. "Not a day goes by with out me reading or hearing that I am not worthy to have been born ..."

Try as I might I can't find much literature in the everyday world denigrating homosexuals and wishing death and damnation upon them. It's waaaay politically incorrect.

Maybe he needs to move out of that abusive home enviroment or stop searching the www on a daily basis looking for Gay Hate sites?

Suzeonline said -" EricG, I'm sorry for the rubbish you have had to read above.
Just know that not all posters to this site have such anti-gay, narrow-minded opinions"

That is a very patronising attitude to have towards Eric - I am sure he is capable of choosing what he reads or does not read - he doesn't have to read anything.

It is also very arrogant of you to suggest that opinions you do not agree with should be classed as rubbish and narrow minded. Are your opinions also rubbish and narrow minded?

Is everyone who disagrees with anything a homosexual person says automatically anti-gay(whatever that means)?

Phanto, have another critical look at your posts above and tell me you aren't denigrating the feelings of gay people in general.
My opinion is that you have no real understanding of homosexuality at all.
