Serction 28

Re: Serction 28

In the early to mid 80s there was an interesting phenomenon in west London, especially around the Notting Hill, Westbourne Grove and Bayswater area of pubs that attracted a parallel clientele of Rastafarians and gay men. There was not much socialising between the two groups but there was tolerance and some bonding over music.

To me LGBT sounds like a garden railway.

Feels like an anagrammed acronym of Britain's Got Less Talent or something.

'Lefties Get Bloody Tiresome' or (to vary the order a little) 'Lumping Groups Together Backfires'.

... Or a forerunner to the KGB ... although that was the NKVD!

Who knows what KGB is as an acronym?

For all you anoraks out there like me:

Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti

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 think we were equal before. We could all marry someone of the opposite sex (e.g. Tom Robinson), and none of us could marry someone of the same sex.

Initially we had civil partnerships, which to all intents & purposes constituted 'marriage'

I'm not a lezzo but this was my reaction to section 28:

I don't have a homophobic bone in my body and I am all for equality to everyone in society.
