Brighton pride

[Herr Tubthumper]

i disagree, the police manage to bend (excuse the pun) a lot of laws to fit their purpose, just take the anti terrorism laws for example.

I thought Edna come on here last year and explained this one? I thought that for something of this nature to be a crime...it first had to be reported by an offended person(s)...and all things considered be deemed offensive in the eyes of the officer?

the one thing that annoys me about pride is the local business' that suddenly become gay friendly for the weekend and hang a rainbow flag outside there shop/cafe/club/bar etc. I find that totally exploitatve as the other 51 weekends of the year they couldnt give a toss.

Yeah and as for them places that put up christmas trees every bloody December... - bet half of them haven't even seen the inside of a church for years...

but the chrismas tree, other than its name, has got sweet fa to do with religion or chirstianity. now if it was a nativity scene being put up you'd have a point. just accept that the tree, all the bunting and feasting is actually a simple mid-winter festival.

now back to the scheduled binnery.

Homosexuals are menace when they congregate in large groups.

Also never really seen the point of pride? Spend all year demanding equality then have a day screaming and shouting about how they are different.

how do they manace you then ?? come on..explain !!!!

Do you accept that others are entitled to their opinions as well, even if they differ from your own, or are you the type who believes that everyone is entitled to your opinion and anyone daring to disagree is automatically wrong?

no not at all , i know some gays like to live a quiet life , but its the ones that have to throw it in your face ie pride , as was stated earlier how about straight pride in Brighton? some how i dont think us straights would bother ............ can't think why

Good call. My missus usually organises a bit of a Pride do....it usually ends up with me and my mates all pissed and wearing masses of disco glitter by 4pm.

and waking up in the morning with you jim jam bottoms back to front and complaining of a sore arse.

Brighton is gay friendly 365 days of the year. It doesnt need Pride, other cities which are less tolerant however do.

And no im not getting involved in the debate. Its been done elsewhere.

A mate of mine gave the best arguement for Pride I've ever heard. He suggested that the good thing about gay events is that chavs, idiots and other morons who normally blight our lives run a mile. Keep the idiots at bay, invite a gay!

Spot on! If you don't agree with it or don't like it then stay in. The rest of us who just see it as a good excuse to have a good, fun day out can enjoy the day.

And this argument has been done to death, it is called PRIDE now, not gay pride. It is about being proud of your sexuality whatever that may be. Stop moaning about it and go and have a laugh people.

That's the problem though isn't it mate? You could not do this in many other cities because of less liberal attitudes. Brighton should PRIDE (see what I did there) itself on the fact that it can be so accepting.

Interesting comment to make on a football site!

This is a football site? Bloody hell, you'd be hard pressed to notice sometimes. I think there are plenty of members with plenty of posts who have never mentioned football once in any of them.

...it's a bit more than a football site.....

Quite a few are racking up the count on a thread about pride.

I have no problem with it at all, just thought the post was unintentionally quite funny bearing in mind the site. We can talk about football if you want mate.

It is just a bit V Festival now though isnt it. Very middle of the road for something that was once quite left field though eh. Perhaps that's no bad thing I suppose.

So who do you suggest goes to these intolerant towns to run the gauntlet?
