Swindon Pride

[Fred Elliot]

Not trying to be controversial but I just think that this picture from this weekend's event is pretty wrong

I know that it is politically correct for our children to be bought up in a open and safe environment free of prejudice etc, but something about it just does not sit right with me

The kids dancing?

[Jamiesfuturewife]

According to HM Treasury and the Department for Trade and Industry 6% of Britain is homosexual.

That means there should be more Gays on this forum than ladies.

The kids dancing?

Yeah Ben

I dunno mate, perhaps its just me.

They are younger than Jen, and I dont think its right for kids to be involved in that "scene" until they can understand the full implications etc

I don't have a problem with kids being taught that it's just as normal for two men and ladies being together as it is a man and a woman. I don't think you have to go into the implications more than you would for a straight couple. It's not as if you have to suddenly show a 5 year old a gay porno or something.

[Simon Pieman]

I was expecting a gay porn effort that DMR used to post up.

Disappointing.

[flammableBen]

Is that copper a gay?

[Arriba]

Sorry, but that's not correct is it?  I don't read the Mail, or consider myself an ignorant bigot, but to state homosexuality is normal is wrong.
Let's get away from this PC bullshit and accept the fact that same sex relationships aren't normal in the least. Each to his own and I've not got a problem with gays, but I'm not going to confuse tolerance and acceptance with normality.

 I don't think it is normal for two men and ladies being together...one man and ladies yes.

 Although a recent change to Sharia Law in GB has given women the right not to enter polygamous marriages...which must be a bit of a bummer, and certainly makes conversion to Islam less attractive.

Ok then Normal is a bad word. Replacing it with "Just as acceptable" seems to works.

So what is normal then?
