Again Dave,

I have to say you need to get out more!
You'll find gay people leading perfectly ordinary open lives in ANY city in the UK.
But you don't have to even leave your house to realise this.
Social media & the internet would be enough to make ANYONE realise this.

Please understand, as far as I'm concerned, you are entitled to hold any belief you wish.
However, if you are going to express it ANYWHERE outside of your own 4 walls, you should expect to get berated for being outdated & sounding bigoted.
Because as I said before, the rest of the world has moved on from where you live.
