a very happy 'but when is it Straight Pride' to you all. (n/t) on 07:42 - Jun 1 with 3959 views | gtsb1966 | Can I ask a question. When Phil has put a post on the board about divisiveness why do you two feel the need to ignore it and try to get certain posters to rise to the bait?. It's very childish and I just don't get it.

Homerphobes innit. I don’t see why though - his posts aren’t that bad. A whole month eh? I expect that’s a lot of partying. Is the Nottinghill Carnival part of it, or is that separate? |  |

So you're doing "bantz" about what now? In public, apparently as an adult. Why? I'm really confused as to what the OP means? Why pose it that way? You could have brought positivity but you bring bantzzzzzzzz. |  | |  |

Hes poking fun at the small cadre of bigots who still say such silly things. Which I am sure everyone on here is in agreement with. |  | |  |

It's making a negative out of what should be a positive and celebratory event. IMO of course. |  |

So, you could have said happy pride month, to those who celebrate it... You're trying to provoke.. For what it's worth, in this day and age, it's a shame that there is still the need for pride month.. people should be allowed to be who they want to be, without fear of prejudice and discrimination and everyone should be treated equally. |  | |  |

There is a huge difference between someone who is homophobic, and someone who is not homophobic but doesn't subscribe to all this labelling, grouping and sloganeering. Calling them all bigots to try and make the latter group feel bad is just tactic #1 in the authoritarian left playbook and we can now all see right through it. |  |

What do you mean by 'subscribe to'? What is your problem with gay people just celebrating being gay? I mean, do you have the same problem with The Notting Hill Carnival, which was/is a celebration of Caribbean culture? |  |

I haven't got any problem with the people attending these events. If someone invited me to support them, I would be 100% comfortable going along. Look at the op, then look at the alternative statement by Glasgow Blue and compare the difference. Which one has authoritarian overtures, pre-emptively looking to shame people and which one doesn't. |  |

Isn’t not subscribing to the rights of gay people to label themselves as gay a bit on dodgy ground? Just to re-visit a popular board topic, wouldn’t not subscribing to the right of Jewish people to identify as Jewish be considered antisemitic, for example? Good luck to ‘em as far as I’m concerned. I wouldn’t flounce around dressed up like Priscilla Queen of the Desert air-kissing everyone in sight, but if that’s what they want to do to celebrate Pride, good luck to them. Ha, I bet Phil’s getting twitchy. |  |

So what does 'don't subscribe to' mean? |  |

I agree, it would be extremely dodgy to deny people the right to identify their own sexuality or race. However, I really can't see how you would interpret what I said to mean that though. I should be clear what i do mean though. I'm talking about people who are being called bigots just because they don't insist on defining or grouping people by their sexuality or race, and instead rate by people by their individual attributes. By sloganeering i'm referring to, for example, big corporations that are going to be putting a rainbow on anything and proclaiming the virtues of inclusivity etc. These are corportations - they are motivated by profit - they are doing this purely because they want virtue associated with their brand. |  |
