Let’s be pedantic and examine this new buzzword, LGBTory…

It either infers that they are Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Tories (but not Trans), or that perhaps transpeople are Tories?

I’m joking of course, but it’s yet another of the blatantly ill-thought-out, downright morally bankrupt efforts the Tories are making to win those vital floating votes to win power.

If they do, expect a nice, slow, determined rollback to the intolerant times when the Tories devised, executed and supported Clause 28.

I didn’t think either of the ch4 articles gave proper background to the allegations of homophobia, so I looked it up myself:

Does indeed seem pretty heinous!

Brilliant article, loved the video clips. It was a fantastic evening and I think it really needed to happen now more than ever – especially after Cameron’s refusal to accept the Tory’s European allies are not homophobic!

Well done on a cracking article and opinion piece. I’ve plugged it on the LGF site if that is okay. It’s on the Tory Party conference rolling news article (I’m not allowed to call it a blog!) and the article about the Why should gays vote conservative event – which IMO should have been free to attend too.

Thanks again.

I have in the tabs above entered a website address asking you if this website address could be added to the blog roll.

This agency was originally set up by a small group of gay men some 18/19 or even 20 years ago. Admittedly HIV organisations were always open to all living with and or affected by HIV including the people most affected in the early to mid eighties.

Now even though it has (in accordance to in Memorandum and Articles of Association) has a number of people living with HIV themselves. However, they still do not actually support the gay community as they should – considering that gay men/men who have sex with other men are still predominately the highest group living with and affected by HIV in Manchester (Greater Manchester) and even funding that becomes available is always signposted to other groups.

I would like you to form your own opinion before you decide to add the above site to your roll (blogroll).

Yours
