We walked in the supermarket together and of course walked past each other at least 5 times .. it’s also hard to miss someone who stood out due to her somewhat erratic ( attention seeking ?) behaviour …

These types of conversations never go anywhere as you are too blinkered and don’t even read the relevant posts

His belief in god is the leading factor on his views on homosexuality..He said, it doesn't mean he doesn't love people, and explained you can love people without agreeing with what they chose to do in life.

There were no flags up in my bank, there was for Pride month. There wasn't a general jumping on the bandwagon by businesses wanting to show their support for DEI (as far as that goes...)

I think maybe the point I'm making is none of what pride is now (and it is very different and not always good I will admit) just magicked out of nowhere. It's grown over decades because LGBT people made sure it did. The riots started from LGBT people, a gay man created the pride flag, LGBT people set up charities which in turn created fundraisers, etc etc... so on so forth. If you want to see flags up for Women's Month, create a flag. Go to local shops and explain your cause, create what you want to see. If you don't, don't whine about not seeing it.

The industry I do some of my work in is heavily male dominated and so one year on International Woman's Day, I did a profile piece on many women in the industry by creating a piece of content to shine a light on women in a field so populated by men. The content was well received and appreciated and it was a piece of work I did because I thought it was important to highlight and appreciate these amazing women doing great work, and it wasn't really something I saw much of. You create what you want to see in the hope it inspires other to follow suit, build momentum and form into something significant.

Are LGBTQ saying nobody else can do anything in June?


Even if there isn't a pride event going on, people still don't have a right to celebrate things in June cause that's been reserved for LGBTQ..


Is that really what's happening here?

The parade is in September, but Pride Month is June in the country he lives in. Last year he created Heterosexual Awesomeness Month, in June, in response to Pride Month.

The bar offered various specials throughout June, including free beers for "heterosexual men dressed like heterosexual men" on Mondays and discounts for heterosexual couples on Wednesdays.

The bar's owner, Mark Fitzpatrick, said he was inspired to create the event as a way to celebrate heterosexuality and "God's design for sexuality" in response to the Pride celebrations happening in his area.

The bar’s Facebook page also shared an image of a child vomiting rainbow with the caption “Protect the children,” invoking a decades-old false moral panic that LGBTQ people are dangerous to children — rhetoric increasingly weaponized by the right in recent years.

The bar wrote in response to the image, “This wouldn’t be posted if things hadn’t gone way too far!”

If you think it wasn't in response to Pride month, and that it's done "with love" despite all of that information then I have news for you about whose head is up their own ass. And it ain't mine.

lol no. Anyone can do what they want. But if you create Y in response to X because you disagree with X in the same month as X is happening prepare to be met with people questioning your intentions :)

Run everything past the LGBTQ+ people in future, make sure it doesn't make them mad and start telling people their head is up their ass.

As has been thoroughly discussed, we all know that the INTENT is to "make them mad" (though in this case I imagine it gets more of a "sigh and an eye roll" than actually making anyone mad, because it's painfully juvenile).

I dont think the information is totally correct for the reasons....the news outlet is saying he posted this, said that etc in response to the LGBTQ community, when If you look at what he was against it's more to do with the T of LGBTQ.

A letter that simply doesn't belong beside the rest, in my opinion, and perhaps this gentleman's as well.:shrug:

Look, I took issue with you saying to me "Why are you so angry, so ready to fight" and then directly retelling a story about an angry lesbian, and then ending it with: Why not just be yourself why go looking for something that probably isn’t there...

You still haven't answered why you chose an 'angry lesbian' as the subject of your story. It's my belief you were trying to angle your post to suggest gay people look for offence when it's not there.

Maybe you were not, but it's just interesting to me why you chose another LGBT person to illustrate the idea of 'looking for a fight' when statistically its straight men who turn to violence more than any other demographic. I fail to believe you've never seen an angry straight guy to use as your example.

It was Beso who threw the first 'head up ass' comment Livia, I was simply returning the favour :joker:

There must be videos of last year's event somewhere on YouTube. :joker:

It’s really funny how the longer these ‘everyone should just be equal!’ people, especially when it comes to minorities being treated well, the more they just expose themselves as hateful people who don’t want minorities to be treated as well as everybody else, the anger towards pride month is so nonsensical and just outright ignorant.

If you want to celebrate heterosexuality, go ahead, lgbt people really couldn’t care less, were used to these types of people hating us, but just be honest about it and don’t try to pretend it’s about something it’s very clearly not, you don’t like lgbt people or the attention and support they get, that’s it

They used the vomiting child, which is a clear indication that this man leans more towards the uproar that trans activists have caused within the LGBTQ community trying to push laws that effect children, The rest of you should have booted them out for that.


But it seems the majority cut their noses of to spite their faces to support the beliefs of the group's minority. I suppose, on the plus side for me. It explains how the heads get so far up the arses.

Beso 09-05-2025 05:32 PM

I need to say also, that the lesbian in the co op sounded more protective than angry, in Zizu's description. To me, anyway.

As I have mentioned before, we don't act as a monolithic group and send out newsletters, there is now 'booting them out'.

I mean this in the nicest of ways, but I don't believe you have the experience of what it means to be LGBT and the things you see and hear from people... people who think a kid reading a book where the character happens to have two dads is 'indoctrination' and 'brain washing' and 'trying to turn kids gay', for example.

The kid vomiting the rainbow has been used over and over again to symbolise LGBTQ+ people in general 'being a danger to kids' and trying to 'indoctrinate them with the gay agenda'. It's not specifically about trans people, there are plenty of people who think that no kid should know why two men love one another and any mention of it is 'grooming'.

Beso 09-05-2025 06:13 PM

That's nice but I was referring to puberty blockers and all that. Kids should be taught that there can be 2 dad's, 2 mum's etc. what kids shouldn't be taught is what they are feeling about themselves at a very young age means one specific thing.

I think things like that are where this man's gripes about the LGBTQ community may lay.

I know - what I am saying is your assumption he his issues lie with trans is because he used the child voting a rainbow image. I’m telling you that isn’t used just for anti-trans but also just anti gay in general because of the rhetoric gay people are a risk to children. The man himself has said he’s against homosexuality. These are just the facts of the matter.

That all came later in the article..fair enough it was referencing something the bar probably posted before he said the stuff about the children that was printed earlier in the article, but adding the whole article up after 're reading it a few times I do still come to the conclusion that he's more fed up with the trans aspect of things rather than the 2 gay males side of things. His disgust at public lewdness aside.

Public lewdness is a possibility at the Hetro Awareness event.

It would depend on how long he was staring at them for, and if he was deliberately following them around imo.

Which my belief from what I've seen from Zizu on here, is that I don't believe him to be stalking women.

Speaking for myself though, I tend to avoid eye contact with strangers as much as possible.:laugh:

The Far Right always love to play that card.

But then I catch Melonie Mac (A Far Right YouTuber) for example calling Alice from Alice In Wonderland "pretty" in one of the Video Game iterations of the character.:umm2:

And she's one of those moral panic types about the LGBT community.

I explained thoroughly.. we weren’t following them around… simply passing them repeatedly in the supermarket isles as you do sometimes

We occasionally see an friend and then bump into them numerous times walking around the supermarket

Also, I purposefully avoided any eye contact because one of them seemed to be a tad twitchy / hyper … and not staring just casual people watching as you do
