Usual inflammatory tripe by Yagoda.

 

If anybody has actually read this article you will see that the questionnaire wasn't really a questionnaire at all. It was written in 1972 (!) as a parody of questions asked by employers at the time and was never intended for children. 

 

The text was subsequently used by Robert Feldman, a respected senior research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in his book “POWER: Strategies for Success in College and Life”, which is used rotinely by students. It doesn't specify in what context it is used in the course structure but being from that period it would certainly be a historical one. 

 

The article states that " a Professor" forced them to answer the questions but provides no proof of this. But even if they were obliged to answer them they would see at the end of text that it is a parody. 

 

The text is here. 

 

 

It seems that no context was looked at for the text. But it serves the purpose of the anti-LGBT+ crowd to omit that. What a surprise

Do you not see special events and calibrations and whatnot as promotional?

When I worked for a major UK bank, we had rainbow coat stands and balloons festooning the building for weeks. This was a building that was strictly off limits for the public. You can be sure the photos were part of the portfolio sent to the regulator.

I too worked for a bank in the U.K, for many a year but we never had any of that. See how that works? 

 

I seemed to remember I was offered some rainbow thingy to put on my desk but I declined, same as I did for the red poppies. I was quite happy to donate some money but concerned wearing a poppy might be seen as a "performative gesture". 🙂

I'm not sure why you're using the word calibrations, but if you mean celebrations then I would say no. Pride is about many things but it's not about promotion of homosexualty. It's not about saying that homosexuality is better than heterosexuality. It's not about trying to convert kids into being gay despite all your efforts to prove otherwise. If there's any promotion there it's about equality.

Not sure what you meant by homosexualty, did you mean homosexuality? 

 

In any event, I was asking if you saw special events and celebrations and whatnot as promotional, in general. 

 

If Christians or Chevrolet were having special events and celebrations and whatnot at schools, I would think they were promoting Christianity or Chevys. I would not think they would be promoting equality between Christians and Jews, or Chevys and Fords.

That's why they prance around screeching half naked, nobody is outraged by them - so they become more and more obnoxious until finally people criticize them - then they can claim to be "oppressed" and "fighting back" again.

 

 

Hi Jonny. Here's a 30 min. video of Bangkok Pride a few days ago. I've watched it through all I see is a colourful event with thousands of people enjoying themselves.

 

Could you point out the half- naked screeching, outrageousness and obnoxiousness, the claims of "oppression" and "fighting back"? 

 

All I see is people having a good time, both marching and in the crowd.

Don't be silly. That was clearly a missed letter whilst you used a completely different word to what you meant, so I sought clarification.

 

Yes, you asked me and I told you no and explained why.

 

I told you, promoting equality if anything, not what you think it is. Why on earth do you persist on this ridiculous notion that gay people want to make others gay when it's all about having pride in the self. It doesn't make sense.

I understand a whole month is dedicated to gay pride. A whole month. My sister in law dragged me to pride parade in Brighton; about 2 decades ago. I must say I was appalled. I am no prude but please! Keep it indoors, there are kids around. I was particularly offended by a bare @£sed bloke with no underwear  wearing 'chaps' in the street as though he were at a private gay club.

A bit of decorum goes a long way.

The red poppy is not the same gesture as the homosexual rainbow at all. They might be performative gestures but one is to honour and remember our families who died in the wars before us. The gay rainbow is a very modern symbol and is about the the right to the expression of sexual pleasure in which there is no sacrifice.

I agree they're not the same gesture.

 

But this statement is poppycock.

"The gay rainbow is a very modern symbol and is about the the right to the expression of sexual pleasure in which there is no sacrifice."

I didn't point out your error at all. I assumed you must have meant celebrations, as I said, but I just needed clarification that you didn't actually mean calibrations in some convoluted way. 

 

I reckon that Christmas is the biggest special event in Christianity and they would see it as a 'celebration' of the birth of Christ. On the other hand Chevrolet events would exclusively be 'promotions' for their cars. So two different things. 
 

Pride would be a celebration of the LGBT+ community and a raising of awareness. If it promotes anything it's equality. Does that answer your question?

I was joking about the poppy, Toad. That should be obvious.

 

The modern rainbow flag is not about the "right to sexual pleasure" as you put it. It doesn't even contain a reference to homosexuality.

 

Red: Represents life. 

Orange: Symbolizes healing. 

Yellow: Stands for sunlight. 

Green: Represents nature. 

Blue: (Replacing turquoise and indigo) Represents serenity and harmony. 

Violet: Represents spirit. 

 

The original had pink to represent sex or sexuality but that was dropped.

 

There are a plethora of flankers now though.

It's amusing the way leftists love to imply someone is gay as an insult. Sad people with empty lives trying to find meaning and feel better about themselves. 

As I have now retired to my living room, the windows shut and the doors bolted, I can safely say I managed to get through the whole of the 7th day in a row of Pride Month without it interfering with my life, much less having someone else’s sexuality pushed on me.

 

Moreover I’m not in the least bit concerned that it will impinge on my daily life in the weeks ahead.

 

 

 

PIE

Pedophile Information Exchange 

At least one current cabinet member and a member of Starmer’s Labour government was a member of PIE in the 70s

Many other current political figures were members of PIE.

They are also active in the various Gay movements.

Check it out for yourself. PIE...It was around in the early 70s and was finally disbanded by the police. Their front was a campaigning organisation to reduce the age of consent.  Just to be clear PIE were a UK organisation.

There is no proof of something that does not exist.

 

 

As Bangkok and Thailand are trying to be a future (well deserved) host of World Pride, here's what's happening at this years Washington DC World Pride. As you can see there is so much more to it than the obsessive anti LGBTQ bigots and demonizers trying to suggest.
