This part is actually very important for the whole story... the person who groped you was void of their gamma aminobutyric acid, which is a very important neurochemical. This person was most probably at fault, but they did not have mental control over their actions at the time of the incident, nor do they represent any group of people. They behaved in a way which was beyond their immediate conscious control because of the depletion of their neurochemicals.Originally posted by Webdude
Oh yeah, I did didnt I! I will put in the part I left off since I assumed it would be obvious. He was drunk too. Duh.
The fact he is a 'fairy type' has nothing to do with this - how he or anyone else acts, walks, talks, et cetera, should not concern you - if it does, then perhaps you should have a closer look at home before you point at others.Originally posted by Webdude
It might explain a lot also to mention it wasnt just a normal gay person, this one was one of the fairy types. Part of his mentality was that since he was gay, he had the right to do whatever he wanted.
In general, just because you belong to any group does not mean you have the right to do whatever you want - but yet again that's an individual thing based on the person. However, this particular thing has been explained above - his mentality was out, he wouldn't be thinking straight.

He was one of those who said I'm "homophobic and that I shouldnt knock it unless I've tried it" [and so on, see above for full quote]... which is just pure stupidity and is also sterotyping on their part..
Yep, it makes me real homophobic to think that packing mud disgusting...

It looks as though bullets have been fired from both ends of the field here - that one person wouldn't have the right to behave in the way they did, yet the way you handled the situation could of perhaps been better.
Imagine there is a group that were trying to remain silent. Once one person makes a noise, others often say "be quiet" or "shut up", hence making more noise. Others would then tell them to be quiet as well, and the cycle would continue. Now, if all were to focus on themselves and make sure they individually didn't make any noise, you would have silence nearly instantaneously.
That analogy can be used for this entire discussion. If people focus on themselves and are not stereotypical of others, and learn to judge someone on their individual merits rather than which group/clique/tribe they belong to, then the majority of these problems would be non-exsistant.
Coming back on topic, we all should be treated fairly and with understanding, but once we start 'grouping' people, then we run into these problems. In the end, it's all about ignorance, which leads to descrimination. That's something we don't need in our world today...
