An old dinosaur that should have stepped down years ago, IMHO.

Good riddance !

Sqad But the procreation argument doesn't make sense, unless gay people are biologically incapable of producing children. And let's face facts - closeted gay people have been producing kids for millennia. So - homosexuality in itself cannot possibly be dangerous to society. What would be accurate is this: "Homosexuality is dangerous to society, when...

What do you expect from the "Tory" Islay !
Must admit it was a bit of an eye-opener when she confessed to voting Tory. I thought I'd strayed into the Twilight Zone.

Right. Thanks - I'm glad to hear that no gay people are persecuted any more.

I thought that there was still some prejudice, hatred and mistreatment, so it's nice to know that's all over and that persecution has officially stopped.

Could you let us know the date that it happened, so I can get the word out?
The longer I live, the more I realise that not everything has to be about homosexuals, despite what's, err, rammed down my throat.
This thread is such a testament to how pathetically ultra-sensitive social conservatives are.

Member of Parliament: "Gays are a danger to society"
Audience he said it to: "That's dumb."
Conservatives: "ACTUALLY he has a right to his OPINION without being CENSORED or DEPRIVED OF COMFORT for SAYING AN OPINION. Besides I CANT BELIEVE how many GAY PEOPLE keep THRUSTING THEIR SEXUALITY down MY THROAT and I wish they would just SHUT UP because THEY AREN'T BEING PERSECUTED and-"

I don't understand why liberals are the ones who have the reputation for being snowflakes.
." So - to all homosexuals out there, you are not persecuted, get on quietly with your lives, like the rest of us, please."

Exactly.
I would say it is true that homosexuals aren't persecuted in the UK. But that's a pretty exceptional situation globally - and, as such, it's worth celebrating the the UK is a tolerant society (well, except for a few whinging oldies). That's why Pride celebrations happen - and why everyone who supports gay rights is encouraged to go, regardless of who they are.

If you don't feel that it should be celebrated... don't go. It's easy.
Kromo......

"If you don't feel that it should be celebrated... don't go. It's easy."
No it's not that easy....the only way you could avoid such "pageantry" is to turn off your TV's,don't take newspapers and try to avoid living in locations not frequented by these "pageants".
Gays are on a winner, they are generally accepted except for "dinasaurs" like me and all Jourdain is saying is, "shut up and get on with it"...........
Is it really such an infringement or inconvenience to see reportage of an event you didn't go to? Is that not a bit self-entitled?
Sqad, for the nth time please learn how to spell dinOsaur!
Kromo...LOL...yes, I see you point, but it is if you don't understand or are interested in what was once an illegal perversion.....but is no more.
When football is on TV....Mrs sqad moans.....when cooking is on Mr sqad moans. Yes the answer is simple...turn off the TV, but rightly or wrongly, probably the latter, we look upon it as an infringement of our personal space.
Not to worry, the history of dinasaurs is legend and soon homosexuality will be looked upon as the norm and heterosexuality will be looked upon as a perversion ;-)
Until that time....as Jourdain intimates.......get on with it.
Jack....thanks....I was wondering what that red line under dinasaur was all about......;-)
I haven't seen a gay pride march for years but as it is 50 years since the decriminalisation of homosexual acts I expect there will be a few in the summer.

In the words of Nick Kulmer ...So What?
Nick Kulmer? not THAT Nick Kulmer.....never heard of him and i don't Google.
Is he a homosexual then?
I don't think so Sqad Kulmer or Culmer is a 'singer' cough

Homosexual acts, apart from one which was always illegal, only became so in 1885 under an amendment to the Criminal Libel Act. The sole purpose of that was to facilitate the prosecution of Oscar Wilde.
talbot.......right!
