Yesterday I went to a training session entitled 'What's sexuality got to do with it?' and right now I have mixed feelings about it. The training itself was OK, although it wasn't exactly anything I didn't know (in fact I could probably have taken the session myself). However what really, really pissed me off was the attitude and comments of some of the people there. In particular there was one guy, who I know through work, who asked some of the most inappropriate comments and questions. For example, one of the facilitators was a lesbian who has also been a service user and he asked her whether it is true that gay men are more promiscuous than gay women and why she thought that was. I mean, I am sure people think about those sorts of questions, but actually asking them in a training session is a bit bizarre. I have to admit though, nothing this guy says surprises me. I think he is a complete and utter tosser.
