Comments on: Primary Gay-soc http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/primary-gay-soc/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:33:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: jeanie http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/primary-gay-soc/#comment-290 jeanie Sat, 26 May 2007 21:30:47 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/primary-gay-soc/#comment-290 lol - my mother is still outraged that a lovely word like gay has been taken over with a lifestyle of "dubious" connotations. Of course, since the shocking advent she has met several gay friends of mine and found them quite pleasant. I explained to her that to take back the word she has to keep on using it in the context that she loves it and ignore the peer pressure! I think it outrageous that there are those, especially in media, who feel they are doing us all a moral favour - but please they need to learn that despite there high horse behaviour, there are still free-thinkers out here who wish our children to be so. Love the penguin thread. Growing up in the country I saw plenty of same-gender encounters with cattle - of course, they were not very monogamous! lol - my mother is still outraged that a lovely word like gay has been taken over with a lifestyle of “dubious” connotations.

The alternative, that he's been persuaded by fundamental Christian flamingoes, say, to renounce his homosexuality and join them on an avian Alpha course is almost too awful to contemplate. Blimey, I feel a glass of wine coming on again. DM I do hope so.

I thought it had been wiped out. What on earth is a gay chinstrap? No, don't tell me. I was shocked to hear ‘gay’ as an insult coming from a twenty five year old colleague of mine a while back.

Oddly enough I remember Q telling me about those same insults being hurled at children in her school. Bigotry comes from the home I think. If Mom and Dad are not saying those things, if they condemn those insults I don't think the children would either. I love the penguin story. I agree with your stance.

I'm thrilled at anything that puts one over the reactionaries who say gays are flying in the face of nature - when clearly they're all headed in the same direction.
