The chaplain to the London Stock Exchange wants gay people to be tattooed with a health warning. I can't believe this. This is starting to sound like the numbers tattooed on Jews during World War II. What do you think?

Ummm, not too sure about this one, I guess it does mark them, but if they want people to know they are gay then they won't mind. I'll bet there'll be an in flux of straight people back into society, talk about scaring the gay out of someone.

I was wondering what if they decide to be straight - I know there are some homosexuals who are that way because of former abuse or because of associations - I mean they would have to get the tattoo removed. I mean wearing a medic alert bracelet for those who have HIV or AIDS or for other reasons would be better but some homosexuals are platonic aren't they?

I hope you're kidding, but somehow I doubt it.

No, but you jump like a grasshopper when somebody even remotely says something about your choice, chill out, you'll live longer.

Hi Bd200789, What is this world coming to, this chaplain needs to have a tattoo saying NUTTTER across his forehead, the idiot! I can't believe it either, he should do his job and mine his own business what other people are, this 2008 not 1208. Tamara

That is something else. That kind of digs into a persons personal life and targets them. It does sound like the Jew ordeal. That is awful.

What a horrible idea. Where to they go from that? Tattoo everyone with a cold because they are contagious? This guy needs a tattoo for craziness.

I think that kind of insane thinking is what causes the world to go to war! My God, what is the difference if a person is gay or not - they are still people like everyone else! I agree with the person who said that he needs to be tattooed "MORON"!!

This makes me wonder what this world has come to. Why should gays be pushed into getting tattoo's? That is wrong to label people just because they are gay. The way I see it they are like everyone else. They bleed,they feel,and they can love just like the rest of us. I think they should just leave the gays alone because they are not harming anyone. Also where is there any health risk I mean come on if the person is gay but is waiting for the right person then I dont see any health risk. I just wish that maybe some time in our life time that people will be treated equally.

This is insane. Gay people should have all the same rights as heterosexuals. I know nothing like that would happen in America, but we have problems with gay rights here as well. I look forward to the day when the world understands that love is love. Everyone is equal.

I totally agree with you. That they and anyone with them should use caution and think of others is a given - and the same holds true for heterosexuals. But, to "mark" them? That is most DEFINITELY a throw back to the Hitler era and something we DO NOT WANT!!! Do these people not read or study history in any way at any time? And, I don't mean "edited" excerpts, but the actual facts??? Somehow, I doubt it.

Exactly! Don't people realize that the Holocaust also targeted gay people?

Either they don't know or they just plain don't care - I'm betting on the latter.

How utterly ridiculous! Can we tattoo people for being vegetarians, cat-lovers or cake eaters? It's stupidity at its best - the world is already so over-regulated it's hard to know whether to start breathing in the morning or just not bother! This sort of stupid suggestion should be nipped in the bud immediately.
