We are just off to pick up my old mum and take her to Pride and meet the kids down there.

Enjoy yourselves everyone who's going

From a footballing slant, fair play to Graeme Souness for his involvement today

'Graeme Souness will take on the symbolic role as boss of ‘Proud United’ – leading a team of LGBTQ footballers from all over the nation at Brighton and Hove Pride parade.'

What is your major malfunction? I imagine almost every gay male went through school hearing that derogatory term aimed at them, and on into adult life. Call me a flake of snow, but did it really merit such a juvenile attempt at humour?

Homophobia on pride day - what a surprise.

Homophobic I'm not!
I was merely encouraging everyone to have a fantastic day, of drinking, partying etc.

That's really clever because I saw your thread title and I was like "woah!!!!" but then I clicked on it and I was all like "oh!!".

It's very very witty!!!

Oh come on, you can’t be that stupid to use that word associated with pride? Either stupid or being deliberately provocative, joking or not.

I was wondering whether to reply to this thread or not. I do not think for a second that Conelli wanted to be offensive, or has anything against us gay boys and girls and was probably just putting a lighthearted message. Palacefinder has however squarely hit the proverbial nail on the head. Lots of us grew up throughout our early teens being slagged off by people using this term. To me being called a bender just reminds me of a somewhat difficult time where I was constantly reminded that I was considered a second class citizen.The " avoid him, he's a bender" comments even if not directed at me, do strike home. Would Conelli have written the same sentance using the word n****r if it had been a BAME event? of course not. And thats what is meant by casual homophobia, people using derogatory terms without thinking about it, without realising what they are saying.

Fair point Nick, I REALLY didnt mean any harm, as you could tell I wanted just to wish everyone a brilliant day and do Brighton proud as the City is always fantastic at hosting the event!
