I've had a setback, I've met wonderful person online and I'm not sure of the gender of the person, she may even be a fully scripted bot with semi intelligent replies, what if this person is a women? I think I'm male although I don't think this is confirmed on any documents apart from my birth certificate which if you look at closely says you can't use this as identification, so where do this lead me, what box am I in apart from the box of frogs, no I don't mean those.

Well i would have said Love Is Blind, even if it was a Fembot what does it matter look at the True Love between Steven and the Kimbot from last summer....i know women are The Enemy (even gay ones) but Love Will Find A Way.....i would have said that but according to The Official Spokesperson for The Gays i think The Message is to avoid inclusivity isn't it?
So i'm afraid ostracisation is the only answer for the wonderful person they are simply not part of The Community. As for you, luckily after your parade you will officially be one of The Gays so as long as you follow the rules (which will be issued to you before the parade) you will be included within The Community....just don't go rogue you don't want to see what happens then.......if you need some advice i'm sure mmpfb can help you out he's fully gayed up.

It's all so confusing for a human, even though I have never took a humanity test I did cry when the puppy was murdered in Mr Reeves new film, but ate venison sandwiches whilst Bambi was on. I'm so confused. If I have my parade will my friends think bad of me, will my dad remember my name (Fame) mum says she's known since I was three months old I was a see you next Tuesday, hell I can't even sleep as Fernando next to me has stolen all the covers off me.

Fair enough. Her representation of gay people should really be judged by gay people themselves. As I'm not gay I'm big enough to acknowledge that my thoughts on the matter hold very limited weight.

i'd be happy to run you through the The Voight-Kampff test to see if you are a replicant if you like?

Don't let not being gay hold you back having an opinion, heck you could be an ambassador for them like Michelle.

Quite

I'm Salvation Army born and bred, but I'm thinking of becoming a spokesperson for the Catholics

I think of them as my people because a few of my mates are Catholic ... therefore I feel entitled to represent the Catholic community

That's reasonable, isn't it ?

seems fine to me

As King George of the washroom said, you've got to have faith.

THE GAYS sounds so labelling

Too far Oracles ... too far

St Michaels is a community icon ... which community I'm not sure

Whatever it is though, you've just set it back 50 years !

tsk tsk

I'll get on my knees and pray, maybe I'll be visited by the holy ghost.

When King George was found to have been friendly with a man, my friends father at the time let out an almighty "He's a what!"

Right I'm off to go West to club tropicana, drinks are free apparently, then off to the pleasuredome which infact still exists just under a new name and I see it almost everyday.

She got "the gays" thing from a comedian called Lisa Lampanelli if anybody actually cares.

This thread is just hilarious, has had me chuckling away particularly this quote.

I can only assume, like any othef person fighting for equality... withprotest, pen power, legal rights knowledge, etc etc.

did you think I meant knuckle dusters and batons

I can have an opinion. I'm just not arrogant enough to assert my opinion on gay matters as having my value than an actual gay person's or someone who has respected relationships with that community. I believe that he who feels it knows it. At certain points in life I'd rather listen and learn than pontificate and ignore.

Life is already full of blowhards (no pun intended) who comment on situations with little care, knowledge or empathy for the subject.

Having said that I have to say that Michelle's commentary on the gay community can feel patronising and disingenuous at times. And given her use of Perez as a gay 'outcast' when it suits her critique, a little manipulative. But I do acknowledge that Perez outing celebrities may well have contributed to that opinion which might be common amongst the gay community, so yeah in short my knowledge is limited.

I much admire Peter Tatchell a bit hot headed but his heart is in the right place, staying in the closet does nothing for gay rights we want to see the day when being in the closet is no longer necessary.


Great point!


She has stood by and watched and even been active in the persecution of Perez who is to know if latent homophobia may underlie this behaviour in some? It definitely was with Alex who used abusive homophobic language and Michelle still choose too back such a person?
