Has anyone seen the grief James May has had this week for his complaint about Too Much Bunting re pride flags? In fairness he is trying to calmly continue to make his point while being slagged off by the usual suspects.
I was just about to post about this! He's being very calm in his responses, I'm not sure I would be.Has anyone seen the grief James May has had this week for his complaint about Too Much Bunting re pride flags?

I LOVE that idea!I had an idea that we start flying the chevron rainbow flag but with the chevron cut out of it to make it into a banner. Like how when Ceausescu's regime collapsed in 1989 the protestors flew the Romanian national flag but with the star cut out of it ostentatiously.
If companies started supporting the elderly or disabled they would need to spend serious money on making premises accessible for those communities. It's easier and cheaper to throw up a few flags and tell everyone you are inclusive. So no, those organizations don't support those communities as it costs them. All this literal flag flying is cynical nonsense by corporations and ego inflation by those that hijacked pride.I have never understood the need for Pride acceptance propaganda to be everywhere - why does your local cafe, high street or M&S need to support LGBTQ++? Surely they support everyone?
I don't see 'Older people welcome here' or 'We support our disabled customers' signage everywhere - but I see Pride propaganda - so does that mean they don't support other marginalised people?
he was only called a man because that was what he requested. He’d have been called a woman if he’d wanted to be. Disgusting pervertThat happened in the Scottish Borders not long back, I think they called him a man, but he told them to if I remember correctly.
The girl was 10/11 and it was said in court that she got into the car with him because she though he was a woman.
He held her hostage and sexually abused her.
Andrew Miller jailed for 20 years for abducting and sexually assaulting girl in Scottish Borders
Andrew Miller, also known as Amy George, identifies as a transgender woman and is said to be in the process of transitioning. The judge previously described the "abhorrent crimes" against the girl as the "realisation of every parent's worst nightmare".www.google.com
I agree.I'm sure the huge Pride pushing didn't happen before the TQ alphabet nonsense got added.
I'm seeing a lot of pushback from LGB people who want nothing to do with it.
it’s evidence that the TQ nonsense has set back gay rights and people’s “tolerance” is wearing thin in the worst ways.I watched bits of this while I was busy and really enjoyed it. The standout for me was Glad To Be Gay but it made me angry because it just reminded me how LGB, and what Pride used to stand for, has been hijacked and warped by the TQ+++
Slightly related there was an advert for Anthony Nolan Trust bone marrow donors saying “LGBTQ we need you” and some commenters obviously missed the point that gay men were excluded from donating anything until very recently and they were just ranting about “Pride taking over everything” and “why do you only want gay donors” etc I think it’s evidence that the TQ nonsense has set back gay rights and people’s “tolerance” is wearing thin in the worst ways.
Oh I like James May, I hope he stands firm and doesn't capitulate.Has anyone seen the grief James May has had this week for his complaint about Too Much Bunting re pride flags? In fairness he is trying to calmly continue to make his point while being slagged off by the usual suspects.
This is an excellent summing-up of the situation.it’s evidence that the TQ nonsense has set back gay rights and people’s “tolerance” is wearing thin in the worst ways.
It certainly is.
We were at the stage in society where no-one (or almost no-one) batted an eye at anyone's sexuality. There were no side eyes at effeminate men and butch women; if a man introduced his husband or a woman, her wife, nobody thought anything of it. The only time anyone might speculate on another person's sexuality was if they were attracted to them and wondered if they were single/ straight/ gay (delete as applicable) - not because they were being scandalised or disapproving.
Gay people of both sexes had become just as ordinary and boring as the straight population - and that is just how it should be: Gay = normal. Nothing to see here folks.
Since the rise of this perverted cult, which grabbed the coat-talis of gay equality and twisted it out of recognition to cover their own nasty fetishes, many people are now being pushed back to the previous stance which was gay=pervert. Homophobia is rising again because of this - and frankly the most homophobic group of all are the TRAs.
They are intentionally destroying the rights of gay people (now that they no longer need to climb on their shoulders) and equally intentionally destroying the rights of women (so that they are easier to control and prey upon).
People are frightened for the safety of their children - and with cause - but unfortunately it is gay people who will face the backlash when it comes - not AGPs.
As soon as I see those flags, I know that I, as a woman who understands biology, is not welcome.I agree.
My blood runs cold when I see those other flags added anywhere. My immediate thought re the 'inclusiveness' is - oh so actual women are not welcome. It's sickening and it's often in the most inappropriate places, like another poster mentioned upthread in a premises that small kids use. There's one flying outside a primary school near me. It makes my stomach turn.
It's total propaganda,
Exactly my point.As soon as I see those flags, I know that I, as a woman who understands biology, is not welcome.
All the "Pride people", are exactly like this, perhaps because I'm middle aged, as are most of my friends, but they are just happily living their lives.This is an excellent summing-up of the situation.
The nearest big Pride event near me has fallen flat for the past few years because the Pride demographic in that area is slightly older, married gay and lesbian couples with houses and French bulldogs. Ordinary people who spent their youth fighting for their right to be unremarkable.
My daughter turned 18 in March, she has voter ID because she hasn't wanted to learn to drive and we don't have passports. I am pretty certain that the clerks in May didn't think anything at all, this is just looking for issues."Mr Williams said he thinks participating in the election is vital "particularly for trans people and gender non-conforming people to protect our own lives".
"For many people, a vote is just seeing what the future will hold, but for trans people, this is a case of what rights we will still have," he said."
(Mr Williams = a TIF)
Me me me me me me me....only Trans people have worries and fears....me me me me me.
It's worth getting a provisional driving license as my daughter has been using one for years to get into bars and clubs. She still hasn't passed her driving test but she's in her early 20s and is asked for ID every time she goes out.My daughter turned 18 in March, she has voter ID because she hasn't wanted to learn to drive and we don't have passports. I am pretty certain that the clerks in May didn't think anything at all, this is just looking for issues.
"In some ways even presenting a Voter Authority Certificate is othering - it's not a small ID card and it highlights that the only ID you could access was a free one."
Sounds like May is not backing down from the point he way trying to make:Has anyone seen the grief James May has had this week for his complaint about Too Much Bunting re pride flags? In fairness he is trying to calmly continue to make his point while being slagged off by the usual suspects.
Yes,don't get our gay friend and his partner started on it......they said " we will go on for days......" . I agree with their stance on itI'm sure the huge Pride pushing didn't happen before the TQ alphabet nonsense got added.
