'Pride' is a collection of teenagers and overgrown teenagers who think 'pride' is a rectitude for behaving antisocially at public expense and the expense of legitimate equalities. Pride has no political imperative and is retrogressive and merely an excuse for a few very wealthy gay men to make large profits from those weak-minded enough to think 'being gay' is the most important part of their personality, and will throw money in order to conform to outdated stereotypes.

Finnaly i manage to read an interesting point of view on this how list of comments. I think you gotta a very good point Sukiesoya.

I dont know very much about Boris Johnson and I vote for the socialists in my country. "The people get the government that they deserve!" What else can you ask from someone that became mayor? He said things in the past about gay people and he is reconstructing his views on that matter. He organized the reception for Pride this year, walked in the front line of the gay parade...  Give him a chance and start judging him for what does while in office instead of what he did before he was elected.

Im a bit fed up of all those comments on my page. Im trying to be democratic and leave them in but if people dont have more constructive and debateble comments I'll start deleting them.

Its not unnatural its just a minority occurance which is generally not the mainstream for most people. That doesnt mean its not naturally occuring. Being Ginger isnt very common but its not unnatural to have it.

I love Boris. I don't live in London I'm not entirely aware of his politics, but I love his approach to things like this :) when i heard him being questioned about whether he had ever had a gay experience and him respond with "...not yet" I felt actual joy lol

Is that woman next to Summerskill being like that to be camp or just anoying? Waving her hands about in a gay style.

True people can change, but he's a grown man in a position of polital authority and his beliefs and positions need to be held politically accountable.

Also can doesn't equate to will. He HAS cut liberation funding and his party does promote legislation which I believe to be homophobic.

You sound like you need a good fuck up the arse thinkglobally123!!

I don't care for your petty insults. Gay is a destorted sexuality full stop. It's an abomination and Gays should be burnt or thrown off the edge of a cliff. Forget humanism. Repent for what gays do is a sin.
