No, Gay Pride is a meeting for happy lions this year ;o)

My first thoughts when I read this post were I wonder how many people would have the neck to admit it on this board if they were going or not time will tell. I do know someone who goes every year from this area and he says its great gay or not. A real eyeopener

There's always the Aberdeen and Glasgow prides in June.

I thought you wouldnt want to be anywhere near Wickers as you dont appear to like us very much. That is an Infamia in my book. Why would we want to go anywhere you were?

Manchester seems to have developed a liking for the pink pound and a tiny enclave has spawned/mutated into something quite bizarre. I live just a few miles away from 'the gay village' but frankly would not be seen dead there. I'm sure I will not be missed.

I have no
problem with homosexuals going about their business, so to speak but to hold parades celebrating ones 'sexuality' is ridiculous. Just get on with it, preferably in private. Much better than marching which is, as far as I can see just an exucse for the more flamboyant of puffters to dress up in all manner of pvc bondage gear and look daft, or even vaguely menacing.
Pride? Surely pity is the most appropriate response for these geezers.

the famous gay street in Manchester is Canal Street. The C is often taken off the front of it by mischevious proud gays.

Why bother going to Manchester when you can watch a gay parade in the comfort of your own hom. The Eurovision.

A word of warning to the unwary. What ever you do, if you do decide to go, don't wear your kilt!

[Bingobabe]

I have no problem with gay/lesbian but i cant be doing way ott camp men or extremely butch women.My thoughts on this are if your a man act like one and if your a woman be one.

I totally agree with your post. I don't care what sexual orientation any person wants to be. I object very strongly to having lost the vary English word GAY to a bunch of pufters, and I also object to having politically correct idiots pushing it down my throat, no pun intended.
All they have to do is keep their views and ways to themselves - and nobody will care less.
It is fine in Manchester for the pufters to wear anything - and the council have advertised their shindig - but the taxi drivers are not allowed to wear English supporting shirts in case it offends visitors.
PCP - Politically Correct Pillocks - THis makes me mad.

If your point about the Taxi drivers patriotic shirts is true then the world has gone completely mad. I don't doubt you Jim, this council has long been controlled by nutters.

I read recently that that some organisation or other had banned the word' homosexual' in case it offended er....homosexuals. Barmy.

A spades a spade. Or is this term also in danger of extinction at the hands of pc zealots. I expect so.
