Eight per cent of fans ‘wouldn’t watch team containing gay player’

I think you’re displaying very well the evidence that increased awareness would be useful.
A wide range of awareness of diversity would improve lots of people’s awareness, probably different areas for different people.
Regardless your reason that it might not work for you isn’t a reason not to do it.

 

Religious differences?

 

What is this evidence that increased awareness would be useful?

 

Use another title, then.
Can you answer my question?

 

Your childish comments and your assumption that a course talking about diverse lifestyles would be subject to ridicule are evidence enough for me.

 

After everybody has been on courses for LGBT rights, disability, sex, race, religion and sexuality how much better do you think things will be?

 

I think you need to go on a insult awareness course. That will cure you.

 

Much more likely to be better than worse, because some people would be open to making sure they didn’t offend people or cause people to hide feelings, so those people would learn useful things
Some dinosaurs wouldn’t, but they might be past learning or caring anyway.
It’s a workplace so if their behaviour was bad enough you’d remove them anyway

 

Better? From people like you? Things would be no different. There’s no place for you or your ignorant views in the modern world.

 

What if they said that their religion thought that homosexuality was a sin and their religious views were not compatible with going on an [insert acceptable name of course here]?

 

No religion excludes you from learning about other people.
If they refused to do it, whether they used religion as an excuse or not, I’d sack them.

 

Would you sack anybody who took part in these protests if they were your employees?

Yes! Absolutely, I'd say that was fairly important.

As to how life would be better, wouldn't it be nice to live in a society where we all understand each other a little better and it was less divisive?

 

yes I would. 100%

 

You don't like diversity of thought?

 

This is not the same thing.

 

I LOVE diversity of thought.

What I don't like are lives being impacted by other people's opinions.

 

Depends on behaviour really. I’d look at each case on its merit.
Not the same as refusing to take part in mandatory training though.

still the case that you thinking education wouldn’t change your opinion isn’t a reason to not do it...any other reasons?

 

You'd go on a course which explained to you why homosexual acts are forbidden in traditional Islamic jurisprudence and are liable to different punishments, including the death penalty?

 

How can thought impact other people's lives?
