lol, right!

like on the door there’s a plaque that says, “No shoes, no shirt, no breeders” or something.

Dare to dream.

Still, that’s f*#!d up that you got fired for your orientation. I’ve never heard of anyone getting fired for being straight?!

“What? You mean to say that you are a WHITE, HETEROSEXUAL MALE!!! Oh, no Steve, that just won’t do! I think you might be a better fit at some other organization. You have 15 minutes to clear out your things and someone will escort you off the property!”

However…

Nobody can deny that there does exist a loose alliance of radically fundamentalist Islamists throughout the world who espouse a religiously bigotted, misogynist, homophobic, anti-modern, anti-democratic, apocalyptic worldview that is widely popular among a generation of young alienated Muslim males throughout the Muslim world.

We can talk about the injustices of colonial, American imperialism, globalisation etc etc which has fueled the rise of this reactionary belief system till the cows come home.

The unavoidable fact is that it is a lethal urgent problem and somethings has to be done about it.

The Islamist movement does not differentiate between the guilty and the innocent.

Bush and the elite he represents might deserve to blown to kingdom come by Al-Qaeda but Al-Qaeda is more interested in attacking innocent men women and children who have no say in the decisions of the multi-national corporations and their political minions who are largely responsible for the mess in the Middle East.

The Islamists are bent on jihad against entirely innocent people in the Middle East and in the West in their goal to establish a global caliphate espousing Sharia law – basically returning the world to the Dark Ages.

I am an atheist, a socialist, I believe in the right to live according to your sexual orientation, espouse whatever belief system you want, read, speak and argue anyway you want and live in harmony with my fellow human beings, the right to work for an honest living and get ahead if you want to and spreading the wealth around to the less fortunate and I am an internationalist, I believe in universality of human rights and freedom and that all people of whatever language, creed or race basically want the same thing and future for themselves and their children.

My belief system is uncompromising and when it is threatened by the like of the Islamist movement that honestly cannot be reasoned with, there is no other option but to fight to defend civilisation (what little of it exists in this world) against these medieval fanatics no matter how much I sympathise with the plight of the people of the Middle East.

I’m not going to wait until there are more attacks in New York, London, Madrid, Bali or wherever else these bastards have struck and to be honest I am shit scared that these maniacs will get their hands on biological, nuclear and chemical weapons.

I say kill them before they kill us.

I’m not at all surprised the day wasn’t a bigger success. Most folks these days aren’t willing to make personal sacrifices and be uncomfortable for the greater good.

Just look at Dawster’s post, no. 22. It’s a perfect example of someone willing to put themselves out as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them or disrupt their comfort level in any way.

I mean, *GOD FORBID* people should say of him after he’s dead that he was willing to take a stand on anything and give up a days pay to do so. It is much more important to say he did a DAMN GOOD JOB at work, yes sirree, Bob! Employee of the year, Dawster was! That old queer was the best ant this nest ever rolled out – which nobody can deny!

Thank you, Smokey Martini. I clicked on the flag as you suggested and voila. The offensive post vanished into thin air like magic. ;-)

He might not be tossed, but if enough people flag him (aka click on the “Flag?” button on the bottom-right-most corner of his post), something magic happens. I don’t know what, exactly, but something definitely happens.

Is there any way to get this POS named Roland Basque tossed from this site?

I am sure that I speak for other posters on these blogs that we don’t come here to be verbally abused by homophobic str8 pismires whose only purpose in life seems to be hurling insults and epithets at people he does not know and has never met face to face.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but this is, after all, a gay site and if he does not like what he hears, he is free to leave at any time. I would like to think that there are some limits as to how much filth and abuse one is allowed to spew before he has worn his welcome out on Queerty.

I guess the silent protest wasn’t heard.

Okay. It’s five o’clock in the afternoon, EST and the date is December 11, 2008, the day after A Day Without a Gay and International Human Rights Day.

With baited breath, we got to read today about the Golden Globe Awards, The Gay Hockey Team, Susan Sontag’s Secret Diaries and Meth-Head Michael Brandons “rehabilitation” and other world-shaking news, but not one word about the outcome of a Day Without a Gay.

Unless I am drunk and disorderly under the piano, in a time warp or just simply forgot to wipe my glasses clean after I masturbated before finally going to sleep at five o’clock this morning while waiting for news about the outcome of ADWAG, could someone at Queerty please tell me why no one is commenting on this event?

Or, do I need to go to Fox News (God forbid) to find out WTF happened yesterday?

Are you Being Served is a dated British sitcom featuring the very Camp (and stereotypical) actor John Inman who refused to come out ever since. It’s like Benny Hill meets Keeping Up Appearances which is not a compliment.

Queerty are lazy and lack gay sensitivity (are y’all in your tweens?)

Waiting for the Fearless Leaders (not Geoff or Lorri) on the next event of Stonewall 2.0 (Join the Impact)

turn-out was sadly not very high, and I found it highly ironic that a gay man like me was asked to write an article about gay’s not working!

Actually I though ARE YOU BEING SERVED (the show from which the pic and phrase was taken) was quite big over your side of the pond?

Mr Humphrey’s (for it is he!) is a very camp gay man and the only one of the shop assistants who is getting any sex! The others, all straight, are all frustrated. Which is part of the joke.

i’d rather donate and do rallys then lose my job or pay.

so, nope. didn’t do it. sorry.

Looked her up on Wikipedia, since I had heard of her, but didn’t know very much about her.

I can see why you you might suggest Hasselbeck as the nest Anita Bryant.

She is both conservative…and contentious…and has all the makings of a staunch homophobe.

Let’s hope her jubby doesn’t turn out to be queer, like Anita’s was.

That was, after all, what got her nipple tassels twirling. lol

I’ll bet on that backlash, Charles. I wonder who the next Anita Bryant will be… I say Hasselbeck!

Actually it was a Mens Dept store from British TV show!

You know, there is going to be a backlash. Bet on it. I was appalled by some of the blogs that followed some of theYouTube videos I viewed on the topic last night. What an outpouring of vitriol and hatred from str8 homophobic posters. One even so far as to suggeest euthanasia as the “solution” to the “Queer problem”.

Does that have a familiar ring to it?

Paging Debbie Downer – waah waaaah

:)

Honey, if you work in Manhattan, no one will notice because that’s the way EVERYONE dresses.

The photo is of Mr. Humphreys from Are You Being Served, a hilarious Britcom from the ’70s and entirely appropriate.

This is to gay activism what Paris Hilton is to acting.
