The Oldest Gay In The Village
540 Answers
How cool is this guy ...
http://
Every year, he takes part in the Pride Parade ... on his mobility scooter !!
He carries a banner saying " I'm the oldest gay in the village".
In the past, he has been given a criminal conviction for being gay. This weekend, he married his BF, to coincide with Pride Weekend.
That's the way to go when you're in your 90s!

I'm guessing that you don't know what the Pride march is all about nowadays, do you?
It's more of a celebration, than a demonstration.
And are you really suggesting that the Brighton Pride march should detour a hundred miles to march through Tower Hamlets?
Why?
It would be exhausting.
Especially for the poor chaps who happen to be in heels that day.

Of course I'm not saying that, SP; what I'm, saying is that if they DID live there they wouldn't have the guts to do it. Naturally the cowardice would be dissembled with the usual weasel phrases ("respect for other people's cultural norms" and the like).

/// "44 percent of straight men report having anal sex at least once in their lives, and 36 percent of straight women do too." ///
That either means that 8% of straight men have had homosexual sex, or 8% of women won't admit to it. //
I think it means that 56% of straight men, and 64% or straight women.
Please explain your confusing mathematics?
Certainly - your statistics refer to each gender individually, not the heterosexual population as a whole.
If it were a reference to population, that would indeed be 50% of each - making your maths correct.
But your stats refer to the hetereosexual male population - 100% of them, and the heterosexual female population - 100% of them, so on that basis, my maths is sound.

The point I am making is that we all agree that to be gay is no longer a crime.
Some,however,still find the practice abhorrent and unnatural.
To be a paedophile is not a crime as NCCL and certain MP's who endorsed P.I.E. will testify.
I have read earlier that what people do in the privacy of their own home is nobody's business but their own so would you all be happy if paedophiles had a parade to tell all about their sexual preferences.? No abhorrence shown here perhaps?

/// Being different can, and should be celebrated - Gay Pride. ///
Yes there is also Black Pride, I wonder what would they would be called if someone started a White Pride movement.
Far-Right, Racists, Fascist, White supremacists, etc. very strange how things are. //
The concept is based on being a minority.
If you are white, or heterosexual, or democractic, you are not in a minority, so you don't feel the need to stake your claim.

I am wondering how some here would react if a "Paedophile and Proud" march was organised annually in their local town. Obviously not an eyebrow raised here by the look of it! //
Being a paedophile illegal, being gay is not - honestly, I know some of this thread act like it should be, but it's not!!
And as you full well know, with your extreme example - paedophilia causes a universal reaction of horror, disgust and anger, so it's hardly likely to fly is it?
What next - a holocaust-deniers' rally in Jeruslam?

vetuste_ennemi - Gay Pride marches are no longer 'demonstrations' they are more akin to carnival parades. They have never taken contentious routes...they just have a Starting Point and a route to 'somewhere' where there is a park, etc. for the main Party.
There would be no need to go through any 'No Go' areas (not my choice of words but a descriptor based on other comments) as that is not the purpose of the march.

/// Before you judge a gay man, walk a mile in his ballet slippers!!!!! ///
That is rather patronising towards gay men isn't it Andy? //
A fundamental aspect of being to live as a gay man in our society AOG, is a rounded, robust and highly developed sense of humour. You being resolutely heterosexual may be a little lacking in this area? Especially if you are picking up for what was obviously a humourous point.
