Don't shout at the Telly: Queer Progress

worldwrite
Gay rights have vastly improved over the decades, but have we progressed enough? This lively on-the sofa discussion with Jason Smith a freelance journalist and director of Birmingham salon explores the state of ‘queer progress’ today, from Clinton and Cameron’s advocacy of tying foreign aid to gay rights to Stonewall calling for a policing of anti-gay speech in the playground. Has intolerance of anti-gay intolerants lead to a tyranny of the minority? Are gay individuals so vulnerable they now need posh protectors to police our views and intervene in African states?

    • This rather open and adult discussion of gay rights seems a mighty long way from the usual LGBT campaigns that seem to want to police our speech. The questioning of the imperialist angle of those wanting to deny third world aid unless anti-gay laws are revoked is the most interesting. Personally I found the religious question a bit of a red herring by comparison. Thoughtful – well done!

    • JOHN DONNE a man of principle.

      " No man is an island entire of itself; every man
      is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
      if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
      is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
      well as a manor of thy friends or of thine
      own were; any man's death diminishes me,
      because I am involved in mankind.
      And therefore never send to know for whom
      the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. "

      AS FOR PARENTING ,same sex environment,
      the child becomes what is missing,
      the child fills the space that is vacant!
      Years of evolution has cellular consciousness,
      goes beyond sexual preference.
