I know that..but this bloke is getting a hell if a lot of stick for doing just that by the LGBTQ community, both on here and outside of here. A paragraph from the initial story. He said in a video shared last week on the bar’s Instagram account that he had reached out to a number of corporations who have donated to LGBTQ Pride celebrations over the years to ask if they would support the event, and they told him they typically only donate to registered nonprofits. As a result, he said, he created the nonprofit Heterosexual Awesomeness Inc., which will host the festival, though he hasn’t heard back from any major donors yet. Perhaps the uproar people have created is stopping his funding... Last edited by Beso; 09-05-2025 at 03:16 PM. |

I'd take your suggestion a little more seriously if you'd ever shown an inclination to ask Livia (for example; there are others) to stop being personal ... but you won't, so I'll file your suggestion away under "no, if I'm going to stay on this forum it's not going to be to put my feet up and enable people's weirdness". Zizu makes weird comments about women on endless threads, and his post about "people watching" a young lesbian couple in the supermarket is fkn bizarre. If we can't point this stuff out I just don't know what to say. lol.

Do you fancy quoting a post to go with that, Parmy? I'll assume you can quote 52 from the last year. But I'll settle for one. Watching random people that is; not interacting with people, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you understand what the difference is.

Oh I thought we couldn't make ANY assumptions about his reasons for doing it without talking to him? Thank you, though, for FINALLY admitting that you know fine well why the event has been created - not that it wasn't obvious that everyone already knew what the event is and why it's been made - but the constant pretending that it "wasn't a backlash" and was just a completely normal, unrelated event was getting quite tiring.

If he wanted an actual celebration he could pick any time of year. He’s chosen specifically to run it when he has as a negative reaction. That’s not a celebration.

He said it himself, it's quoted in the story. I was pointing out to Ben that that would be what he was reacting to if it was a reaction ti something rather than a celebration. Unless he's lying of course, then you both may be correct. But we can only go on what we have in front of us, and that is the story, and what the man has said in the story. |

Yeah, to highlight a more wholesome way to celebrate that doesn't involve public lewdness. There's plenty space for both to take place. |

You asked though why he wasn’t getting funding. I’ve said, that’s probably why.

If you create an event as a way to create further division, and not in good faith but out of spite and as a reaction, do not expect many corporations to step up and fund it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, I was actually talking about Women's History Month and the (fake) outrage levelled at lack of attention to it. Or am I assuming those outraged at it receiving so little attention, while Pride receives lots, have worked tirelessly in campaigning to bring attention to it, obtain funding, create parades and fundraisers and have been blocked at every corner? (even though they didn't know it existed until pointed out to them on a Big Brother forum because they don't actually care and aren't actually bothered about Women's History Month they were just using it as a stick to beat pride with lmao). A very cliched and transparent tactic. Last edited by BBXX; 09-05-2025 at 04:12 PM. |

We covered that. You then said..."Yeah, if you say so" Then put your own view about the man being deliberate in his actions. Im like, yeah, so what. He wants to promote something he sees as more wholesome in comparison, and I then made a point of there being enough room for both. You then replied again, pointing out something I was already aware of, which has led me to reply by repeating what is already obvious in our previous couple of posts. |

Just that top part... If you create an event as a way to create further division, and not in good faith but out of spite and as a reaction, do not expect many corporations to step up and fund it. You are making assumptions, which in turn creates division when you air it in public. Your head is to far up your own arse for you to realise that. The 2nd part about women's MONTH.. it's basically for schools. Women's day is the celebration. The same celebration that people with their heads to far up their own arses as well use to widen any divide that already existed by heckling and abusing women celebraring their womanhood. |

It's not that I don't care about women's issues, I just don't think that everyone needs a month to wave their flags. There are only twelve months in a year, after all, how are all the aggrieved going to be fitted in? And maybe I missed Women's Month because it wasn't pushed down all our throats. 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...), The BBC programmes are all well and good if you watch programmes created by an organisation who think women can have penises and who create shortlists that exclude people, regardless of their qualifications. The BBC can;t put together a VE day tribute without depicting a 40s family that was comprised of black and other ethnic people. Seriously, who would turn to them for information?

But you asked why he wasn’t getting any sponsors. I answered you with why I think why. You then suggested it was in reaction to public lewdness, to which I pointed out that’s not a celebration, it’s a reaction. Not sure what else you’d like me to say. I was answering the questions you asked and points you raised.

Yeah I wouldn’t say it’s weird. I love people watching. Sitting in a coffee shop and people watching is great.

I don't think people watching is weird, I think watching the same specific person as you go round the shop is odd, and then making up stories about how she was looking for a fight because she seemed 'edgy' and then using her as an example in reply to a post I made weird... yeah, I find that weird.

He has specifically stated himself he launched it to coincide with Pride month because he is against homosexuality. I'm not making assumptions.
