One man's opinion

[kingandy]

I suspect the rainbow thing will ultimately spawn more spoofs than actual carriers. Actually, that's not true - I just wish it was. Some time ago, while walking through Manchester's Gay Village (it only goes out with other villages), I became a little disapproving of the way the community there (and, indeed, accross the world) has commandeered the rainbow. As though non-gay people aren't allowed to be flamboyant or wear bright colours, or something. Not that anyone needs my approval for anything, it just struck me as an odd thing to do. "I like to put my penis inside other men, and also pretty colours." I think it mostly perpetuates stereotypes.

I'm mostly babbling right now because NTL has disengaged their mail servers for maintenance, so I have nothing to do. I suppose I may as well go to bed, feh.

Hopefully tomorrow night is D&D at ghostbritain's place, unless he is sick with gout again. Do not have gout Nook! We enjoy you.

Surely compared to the crap the clogs up most livejournals the rainbow bar is rather inoffensive. I doubt anybody here will go "Wow, colours... Suddenly I find people of my own sex attractive"

Now me... I'm colour blind... Have a real problem with the blue green end of the spectrum... It hurts me deeply each time I see it on a livejournal...

Oh woe is me for my shortcomings..

Nah, its majorly ineffective, thats the thing though, the colours themselves, the issue itself, bores me to tears, why?

Because I really dont care either way if gays or lesbians want to get together, good for them, I wont hold anything against them, love is a rare, yet good thing when it can be found, and if you find it with someone of the same sex, I wont try and stop you.

So why the sudden campaign with this damned rainbow?

I fucking hate it, it drives me up the wall, its forcing people to pick a side, and I never do, Im the sweden of world war 2, neutral. (possible bad example I know, but you may get the gist.)

Its preaching to the converted as well as the "Heathens" if you will. it just irritates me.

forcing people to pick a side

[kingandy]

Yeah, I think my favourite was "Time Force" but I'm looking forward to "Ninja Storm". But we shouldn't have to choose!

If anyone actually believes that sexual orientation can be "converted", may their doorsteps be darkened by Jehovah's Witnesses every sunrise.
