Cerberus Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Tomorrow is Pride day in New York and San Francisco. The 2nd and 3rd largest marches in the world. What’s your take on LBGTQIA? I worked with a guy in Glasgow who was T and he got a horrible amount of abuse. Scotland is more Orange Walk than Pride March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ferrino Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I'm sure the others could shuffle up a bit and make room for them in the LGBOT spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I think there’s a pride festival/March in Dundee this year. Might wear my green jeans, red rocks, yellow tshirt and blue hat in support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnHearts Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I remember nipping into this pub on a Saturday afternoon about 20 years ago. Thought the colourful flags were nice, but once inside, the Initial concern was that no football scores were appearing on the telly. Penny only dropped that it was a geh-bar when I noticed a bloke like Sean from Coronation St sipping a cocktail while grinning inanely at the barman. Not sure if the 'Top Nosh' place next door was linked to the pub in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I don’t care what sexuality someone is but I can’t be fucked with the LGBT tag or people saying LGBT community as if everyone of that persuasion is in a different community to everyone else. I also find these marches to be a massive dick waving exercise that will largely be populated by dreadful individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I think it’s fine if people want to march to celebrate their sexuality or gender identity. However if we lived in more tolerant times maybe folk wouldn’t feel the need to do so. It’s a depressing thought the levels of tolerance, even in developed countries, seems to be going in reverse, particularly with the rise of the populist right.

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Think its great to see the LGBT community out marching all getting it right up the bigots. Having seen people abused for their sexuality etc it’s still rife in society and there is very much a need for pride events. Anyone who is prejudice against someone because of who they love is a scumbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 These threads always bring out some contrarian, attention-seeking roasters; the "I'm not homophobic, but" types. Useful exercise purely for outing a few bigots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
