Pride week 2019 everyone.:Facepalm:

I remember the (recent) times when the Pride celebrations were about being able to proudly & openly express love for one another, regardless of gender. And that’s how it should be.

Having seen pictures from last weekends celebrations, I’m thinking it’s lost its identity with some of the participants. I’m struggling to see the need for grown adult men, to expose their bits and/or affix various amounts of dildos to themselves, and wear them as an outfit. Very odd behaviour.
 
The Seventies North Bank. Never has a user name been more apt.

Come on now, he was hardly rounding up the lynch mob.

Nobody is gunna read that comment, and feel compelled to hate gay people (unless they already do, in which case even then, i’d suggest that this comment isn’t really adding fuel to their fire)

I haven't seen any of the pictures to be honest but I believe there was a child friendly area (no dildos allowed). Lets face it Pride was always outrageous and out to shock the more fragile members of society which has obviously worked. :Whistling:

Not saying he is or was but using the term "poof" is very last century.

Lols, damn my fragile state of mind, for being slightly disturbed by a grown man wandering around half naked, with (unrealistically proportioned :Winking:) sex toys glued to himself, like some kind of perverted Iron Throne

Go out to any hen party on a Friday/Saturday night. There are inflatable wangers everywhere.
 
But the term ‘Queer’ is not only deemed Ok, but is preferred?

This is where it gets confusing.

Especially when we've all rather got used to using the term gay these days,which was of course first adopted because "queer" had such negative overtones.

What's hacking me off today is that I was hoping for an assist at least. I set it up on a plate. I said in post #9,647.....Have you ever thought of going with a man? There's a great big poof on here. A regular poster. ......Some male poster was meant to ask...Who? My reply would have been......Give us a kiss and I will tell you.
It was just a joke. RobM didn't get upset. When posting I did think it might upset someone, and even thought one of two posters would turn it into something it's not, sadly I'm right as MK as usual has done that. Jeez.

Yer sorry about that.



Oh hang on, I've just checked. I'm not.

To be fair, I was going to reply, sorry! I saw the joke. MK, sorry, you're being a bit precious here.
 
dont apologise. own your feelings. I can see it's not homophobic, it's a camp joke. It doesn't actually harm anyone, and that clearly wasnt the intention.

I never thought the 70sNB was homophobic or the joke wasn't anything but ****e. But the term "poof" harks back to a time that we've fortunately moved on from.

And on that note I'm done!
