Gay Pride?

[bhaexpress]

I lost count of the number of times I was accosted by mincers yesterday

I bet you're relieved now they're gone

It's not Gay Pride - just Pride

Just because they dropped the word Gay doesn't mean its suddenly a free for all! It is most definately Gay Pride.

Well i'm nearer fifty than forty and went down yesterday with my mum, dad, wife and my two kids, non of whom are gay (as far as i know) and we had a great day out. We also go to the children's parade at the Brighton festival and some of us aren't children.

I went on the Remembrance Day parade last November, but I didn't fight in the war. I clearly should not have been there

I can't quite see where I said anyone that wasn't gay shouldn't be there.

So it is a free for all then?

It's a free for all I suppose in that anyone is allowed to attend. However it is first and foremost a Gay festival, no matter what they call it.

Perhaps you shouldn't have worn those red vinyl hotpants, duckie.

No but you may go to remember those who fought, to give you the freedom of speech you have now. Not to ponce around trying to be shocking

They gave us the freedom to ponce around if we want too.

Yes that is very true............

I'm in my fiftys now, when I was a kid homosexuality was illegal and I was brought up to see it as wrong, as many people my age were.

Whats getting to me is simple.
I just can not see why anyone would want to parade through the town center to celebrate bring gay!

Why don't we have an Albion and proud day every year?

Is it just me, am I just a product of a bygone age?

What do you think.

I can see your point, but when you were younger things like wife beating, child abuse and rape were just "swept under the carpet" and the victims were victimised for reporting what happened - so it's swings & roundabouts isn't it?

Also how many men & women were in straight relationships they didn't want to be in in the past because they were too ashamed to "come out".

Despite the fact that Pride was originally a predominatly gay celebration, what it now does is celebrate all sexual orientations gay, straight or both and for one day of the year, I think I can give up my city for a carnival where people are proud to cheer what they believe in after all, we do it every saturday during the winter by cheering on the Albion!

It's a good point actually - how many parades / marches have our football club had this year - when not necessarily everyone gives a shit / agrees with falmer etc?

Oh, and leonidas - about the northern guy and your son - that sort of thing gets said to every girl by guys letching over us - maybe he can learn a lesson of how it's not nice for women either?

They gave us the freedom to ponce around if we want too.

And the freedom to laugh at them as well

I'm glad you posted that. I got the same when I was younger but didn't dare post it because of the comments I might have got back. In fact, it was more prevalent in the 60s when leonidas was younger as there was no such thing as being pc then.

 

[magoo]

There are gay clubs where straight people are barred from entering.

and just how do they test on the door for sexuality? quiz you about musicals? measure how limp your wrist is?

 

[sir albion]

Yes freedom to do and say as we wish

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

It's worth remembering that there are a lot of gay folk who abhor Pride and the whole gay scene and get on with their lives without feeling the need or desire to parade through town in backless trousers or tell the world they're a bit fruity. If the world was reversed and heterosexuality was in the minority would many people on here have attended a 'heterosexual pride' day in skimpy gear with the chance of a fondle in the bushes in Preston Park? Not sure I would bother, even if I did feel like an oppressed minority, as I would like to think my private life is just that, for me and my other half.

Are you trying to say you've been stopped by fat northern bastards looking for a bit of cock as well Yorkie?
