When was the last time

[Doc Spock]

you saw a "straight" pride march.

Would it be seen as "homophobic" and would it therefore be objected to.

I think it would. Why is it that non straights seem to want to shout the fact from the rooftops.

[clairey-s]

Oh, shush.

[Doc Spock]

It is a fair and sensible question Clairey.

[johnlambert]

It was the same time I saw a Pillar "box" and heard a diamond "ring" Doc

[Goodsoulette]

"Straight" rights haven't been suppressed for a hundred years. Its one time of the year in the cities that these take place, where gay men can hold hands and kiss in the street openly, with considerable less fear of homophobic taunts.

so go organise one. I'll turn up and shower you all with lavender.

[China Doll]

Lavender jno?

[B00]

sadly, they do, they go under the banner of the BNP, are you a member of them by any chance Doc?

[andrea81]

Why can't we just have a 'Pride march' with everyone invited?

[Doc Spock]

Too bl00dy right Boo , have you travelled thru Westwood district of Oldham. Open your eyes it would. No go area for non asians.

[Reverandfunk]

More of Spock's fascination with homosexuality.

Still doesn't come close to yesterdays comment:

"poofs are evil but lezzas are okay".

Yawn.

[clairey-s]

Err, hello. Anyone else live in bradford?

[B00]

You really are a fantastic example of the milk of human kindness aren't you Doc eh?

The first gay pride parade in 1969, known as the March on Stonewall, started as a protest against discrimination and violence against gays in New York City. Today, pride events have become an annual ritual and have grown to include thousands of gay and gay-friendly participants, not to mention hundreds of spectators. Many gays and lesbians dress in bright colours, head-to-toe leather or sometimes next to nothing. But regardless of the attire, all of the participants join the festivities to remind the world that gays deserve the same rights as others and people should be free to live their own lifestyle, void of judgement or hate. Gay pride is also seen as a symbol of solidarity and an opportunity to express the vivid personalities which reflect the diverse gay communities throughout the world.

Not all gay people support the rallies, and many would probably fear or feel threatened by a �straight pride� and straight people would probably view it as a cause-less aim, akin to homophobic or fascist ideology. There is not really much point in holding a �straight pride� as it would seem there is nothing to achieve. Much better joining an anti-war march (or Amnesty International or similar etc) and show humanitarian solidarity.

First it was illegal
Then it was tolerated.
I am emigrating before it becomes compulsory.

[radiogaga]

[jackthehat]

Don't let the door smack you on the arse on the way out, Doc.

[jno]

by gosh, I haven't heard that illegal/tolerated/compulsory line since 1972! The old ones are the worst...

[Doc Spock]

Unfortunately Boo, I do have to live in the real world.

[B00]

thank christ for that doc, we're all holding our breaths waiting and praying that wherever you go doesn't have internet connection.

Can you make this move sooner rather than later please? :-)
