I'm proud of who I am but I dont go bleating about it because like them there is nothing to bleat about
Well I’m not gay so I can’t fully explain but my guess is because they have been silent for so long. Gay sexuality has been condemned for so many years that maybe having a safe platform to state that they are gay and proud while having others celebrating the same, probably feels liberating to them.

I’m not in favour of ‘in your face’ gay activism in general either but this is specifically for them and I see nothing wrong with it.

Even my company has got a float on Hull's parade this weekend. You won't get me anywhere near that confused lot dressed in a rainbow tutu adorned with pink and yellow ribbons!

What a shame Floydy. It would have made some great photos.

I was going to make a donation but they won't accept a 9 bob note for some reason.

Re: Genderqueer?

Don't much care one way or the other, but weary from the need for attention-getting that has gone on for decades now.

Franky, I'm proud I'm not gay - but I don't need a parade so say so.

The old ones are often the best!

Didn't anyone tell you we went decimal a long time ago?

I wonder if anyone has come up with a similar one using decimal coinage, a 45p coin doesn't sound the same does it?

Re: Genderqueer?

It's rather funny when watching an old black & white movie from years ago, when one of the characters, say a snooty politician, or upper class actor, remark, "Well I must say, I've had a jolly old gay time!" Said with a "straight face", pun intended!

Hi

Spot on Tabby.

I am a complete straight man.

Nothing wrong with being Bi Sexual, but getting Two Ladies into my bed at the same time as always been a problem for me.

My Daughter is a Lesbian.

Her choice, I love her immensely.

She is not a lesser Person for being someone who prefers kissing other ladies to men.

I will defend her right to do so to the end.

Any one who threatens her will pay the price.

They will not enjoy the experience.

Holly is a kind gentle lady.

She would not hurt a fly.

She deserves better.

Yes, she is a Lesbian, she accepts it, it is no great Shakes, they do not hurt any one.

Unfortunately on here we have fantasists who have never been there or done that.

They want a War.

Fine by me, off they go into the Frontline.

Simple Message, the Computer systems are not ready.

Put up or shut up.
