Why put on a special party for a group of people just because they are Gay?

It would appear one has to belong to a minority group in this country, before one gets any recognition.

If the Government of the land find a need to put on special parties at No.10, why not put them on for people who have achieved something good for their country, instead of a group of people who's only achievement is their particular sexual preferences.

I agree Bobbi. It should be a great party!

Their numbers are in single-figure thousands..................and anyway, they have their own political agenda.

Gay folks support many different political parties, hence the need to woo them.........

[Bobbisox]

I am going to stand as an independent
Anti-Homophobic Party,
wana join?

[joeluke]

Straight folks also support many different political parties........but what's he doing to 'woo' us?

Will he be throwing a party for selected straight people next?

[ummmm]

I think Jacks just nailed it.......another argument lost..pmsl

[Bobbisox]

doesn't he do that anyway ?

As I am not in the confidence of DC, I have no idea what plans he has for you poor repressed, straight people.

You'll just have to wait and see.

[Bobbisox]

splutter...good answer !

[joeluke]

JTH......I used the EDL as an (extreme) example of a minority group to get my point across.......there are hundreds of minority groups, is he going to invite them all to No10?

[jackthehat]

Refer to my previous thread..............I'm flattered that you think I am privvy to the workings of the new government but must inform you that, sadly, I'm not.

"Because he wants to capture the minority vote"

Er, have I got something wrong here?

Shouldn't he busy himself in capturing the "MAJORITY" vote?

[jackthehat]

As the Office of National Statistics is often quoted as saying.............1 in 10 of the population is gay 'to some degree'.

6 million may, indeed, be a minority.............but we are a fairly substantial one.

[joeluke]

1 in 10? yeah right

Did they poll everyone in the country?

The poll was probably carried out in Brighton

'to a degree'.......so does that include a girl who may have drunkenly briefly kissed her friend? Is she in the 1 in 10

Bullsh it

[jackthehat]

Just think, joeluke....................every time you are in a group with 9 others.................one of them will bat for my team !! :o)
