Amanda it does and when I worked in Brum I used to lose half my staff on Pride Weekend the party was so good....but my feelings are great lets have a party lets have a massive party in fact but there is no need to direct it at any specific section of the community |

Indeed Colin...........it is a sad fact in my area that we no longer have a carnival..........so many small businesses have folded so there is no financial support for the carnival.............same with the small community "do" that used to occur on the estate. |

Thanks Tory...but don't feel the need to shout from the rooftops about who or what I am and neither should anyone else. No-one should feel the need in this day and age to 'justify themselves' to any other section of society. |

I meant we pay for a lot of events that aren't relevant to us individually,like Amanda say's Carnivals etc are stopped.Local to me they're trying to charge the fair £2000 for extra policing for 3 days-it's ludicrous. |

No worries Colin but I do agree you have a valid point,however,if people chose to celebrate an aspect of their individuality at the end of the day we can't stop them & so long as people have freedom to express themselves at least we know we live in a Democracy.I think there's a lot of apathy locally-like with the fair I mentioned,had someone got a petition etc maybe we'd make a difference. |

ccouldn't agree more Colin - as far as I'm concerned peoples' sexual preferences are personal, I do not wish to know if someone is heterosexual, lesbian or gay or anything else there may be that I don't know about!!! I just don't want to know or discuss it - anymore than I want to know their politics or their eating habits - it's their business and they should keep it to themselves - no way would I discuss my sexual preferences with anyone |
