Thread Name: BS: Are folkies homophobic?
Subject: RE: BS: Are folkies homophobic?
Since the comment you received was from an anonymous guest, I wouldn't count it as representative of folkies, or of this site in general. Incidentally, I didn't read the phrase "buggering boys" as necessarily homophobic, more an accusation of paedophilia. Of course this could be a homophobic comment if the person was putting across his opinion that all gay men are paedophiles.

Anyway, I haven't heard any homophobic comments among folkies that I know, and I wouldn't like to tar a whole community with one brush because of the comment of one anomymous guest.
