Seeing as I was the one who wrote the sentance I strongly disagree that there was no implication whatsoever towards gay men at all.
This is because I used the word 'being' instead of 'I am'
The only implication here is that I used the wrong grammer or wording. Speaking and writing English - English can be different from speaking and writing American - English, I'm sure your aware of that. I am English.
The main problem I have with my statement having anything to do with gay men at all, is the fact, that in some ways it has the implication that I am homophobic. This is what I feel towards me anyway, when all this is down to using 'being' instead of 'I am'
Seems abit silly that i've been tripped up on some kind of legal loop hole for the political correct grammer police. Although i've learnt now obviously to use my wording more carefully for the future.
