Some of the responses to this secret recall an aspect of FS which is really starting to piss me off...namely, that if anyone says anything even slightly suggesting homophobia, racism, sexism, or fatphobia, they're called out as bigots (and rightly) - but apparently ageism doesn't count as bigotry to many people here?

Older people are, in fact, still *people*, and just as entitled to express their sexuality as anybody else. Finding someone unattractive is one thing; thinking it's okay to express disgust or revulsion to them because they don't float your personal boat makes you, frankly, an arrogant, insensitive, bigoted asshole.

I suspect some of the people responding here are the same people who think folks not meeting the stereotype of Hollywood attractiveness should be made to go out wearing paper bags on their heads. To those people I would say - get over yourselves. Other people do not exist to titillate you.

Rofl, yes!

I agree. Also, the secret would never get this reaction if it was a couple of old ladies kissing. But since it's two old guys, saying they're disgunting is understandable.

Frankly I adore this comment since I've had semi-personal issues with ageism recently!♥

<3 Sorry to hear that. Some people are...grr.

I guess it comes with having a dad who's 65. No-one wants an old man in computing, and he's probably better-qualified than most of my IT tutors.

Totally unfair. If somebody's capable of doing a job and wants to, their age shouldn't matter.
