Last weekend in Manchester was The Pride festival. I think there were similar festivals around the country celebrating the country's diverse sexual preferences and orientations. And I'm kind of OK with that most of the time. I do think the ruck of 'dramas' we've had on tv and radio recently celebrating gay rights has been a bit ott. But again only my view.
But what's concerning me slightly is this. What used to be gay and lesbian action for acceptance. Has kind of been hijacked by a whole plethora of degenerates and weirdos.
I mean look at what it is now
LGBTQ
is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer, and is used to designate a community of people whose sexual or gender identities can create shared political and social concerns.
Well shouldn't it now LGBTQ S for straight. Because if 2/3 of the population are all in one or other of the others, then those of us who would describe ourselves as 'straight curious' Really deserve to have our letter.

I think 'straight' has had it's own way for most of recorded time.
Don't feel bitter.
Remember it was only 1895 Oscar Wilde was imprisoned, and 1952 Alan Turing was convicted and chemically castrated.
What kind of civilisation treats it's most brilliant minds this way?

I've got absolutely no problem at all with non-straight people celebrating their common interest with festivals. It's not my thing, but it doesn't negatively impact on my existence in any way, and it's really no different to people with an interest in historic narrowboats holding festivals where they can socialise with like-minded people.

Ah, but only the second group sport the "Harold Shipman beard".

I fancy being a pre op transsexual lesbian. Then I can just shag loads of women and be a bit camp. Won't even need to cut my hair or shave my beard off!

Maybe we can look forward to 'Rivet Pride' in Braunston next year
