gay bashing on tv ...

a few nights ago channel 4 had a repeat of Clapham Junction - which included various scenes of gay bashing ... which reminded me of a random episode of Eastenders (a depressing programme i try to avoid) a few weeks ago which also included a gay bashing ...

i've been meeting blokes for years without any sort of violent incident, nor have i ever been mugged - despite having lived in london for years (unlike quite a few of my straight friends) ... but i find violence against gays on tv quite disturbing ...

maybe it's some sort of deep seated insecurity coming through - for years i was scared to meet up with blokes, partly due to a fear of violence ...

whatever it is, i really don't like how it makes me feel ...
