Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

Re: Serction 28
I thought section 28 outlawed promotion of homosexuality, rather than homosexuality itself or homosexual acts--those were decriminalised in 1967, but I might be a bit muddled about section 28. -
Re: Serction 28
Just had a quick look and it forbade local authorities from promoting homosexuality. It was enacted in 1988 and also affected maintained schools.Comment

Re: Section 28
Basically, it was a law that prevented teachers from telling schoolchildren that it's okay to be gay.Last edited by I. R. Fincham; 05-08-2021, 06:30.Comment

Re: Serction 28
I am glad that we have moved forward since 1967 and that same sex couples are accepted a lot more legally now, and now they can marry each other is even better. I am all for equality so that everyone is equal.I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

Re: Serction 28
It’s a 1970s slogan I think. It means what it says- a man is a man whatever his orientation. I like it, but I can’t be doing with LGBT: I find it degrading personally and I don’t like the way it lumps together groups of people who have nothing in common. Most people don’t even know what it stands for: Let’s Go Bananas Together? Lettuce, Garlic, Bacon & Tomato?Originally posted by George 1978 View Post

Most gay men don't identify at all with LGBT. It's a lesbian-feminist cult. For me the label conjures up images of left-wing 'gender-neutral' robots (with recorded female voices to be PC) waving rainbow flags and chanting meaningless slogans.
That makes me think of a spoof 1970s scientist-fi title: 'Do Female Androids Smell of Fish?'
J.G. Ballard perhaps, or Philip K. Dick?Comment
