Lolliepop_girl Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I was on the phone with someone from the forum last night who told me about the renaming of this thread.I am really shocked and surprised at what you people have done. The word "QUEER" is an INSULT, it is a derogative term used to qualify GAY people. The term gay qualifies men and women alike so I don't see the problem. I will NOT have my name associated with an insult towards GAY people. If you don't like the name, create your own thread. Moreover, nobody asked me about renaming this thread. This is just preposterous. It has to go back to its original name, there is no discussion about it, I do not want my name next to an insult people suffer from every day. This is just ridiculous. Oh Aurelien! I did wonder about why you would have called it "queer" I thought it wasn't as good as gay either. So glad to know you didn't do it. I support the gay thread I don't thinkl I would really post on a queer thread simply because I don't much like the word which is one of the minor reasons I rarely come here anymore. I referred to the gay thread as my home thread and it's like having a new last name; it's just not the same. I dn't oppose a queer thread being made so by all means make one but I still have loyalty to TGT. Rebeka, I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you for the rooms but maybe do you think that the site meant that it wasn't UNISEX rather than simply non-lesbian? As in like when you have girls and boys rooms in a camp? I don't find the acronym inclusive at all... Well no more than say "the apple man" or "Mika's fancy chicken" or threads for tv shows or characters. If you don't want the acrynom (how to spell that anyway???) then maybe there should be no more "Who's going to buy Russel Brand's booky wook?" thread and all. I didn't know who he was to begin with and thought it was a brand of book or something and felt odd posting in that thread too, but in the end, all I had to do was ASK and I learned about who he was and was all the more knowledgable for it. *hides for my safety after all my political comments* Peace x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelien Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Gosh Rebecca you're making such a big deal for god's sake. Just keep posting if you want to, we're not kids anymore. If it helps change the title in your mind that way you can imagin it says "QUEER" instead of gay, would that help? Lets just go back to posting and stop this nonsense!

And rainbow bracelets from here to eternity Are there any straight people that go to gay pride events? I would really like to go to one because they look so fun, but I would be scared they would know and kick me out If I were gay I would definitely wear this tank top I found that says We are everywhere. with a little rainbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on going this year I can't wait! boy all that pink! you see I love really turning things upside down. I don't think there will be a bi entry this year! HOWEVER i will put an anouncement that I will be following the parade at the end with the masses and I will have some kind of party favour like buttons ( will go look for buttons) . i want people to know I AM NOT INVISIBLE ..i am doing this for my bi friends and family who are too scared to open up in situations like these.!!!

REBEKA Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hello people! I`m glad to see this thread moving on :thumb_yello: On Saturday I was with 2 other girls from MFC (Barunka & Martinibaby) on a queer parade ([url]www.queerparade.cz[/url]..[SIZE="1"]Aurelien must be fainting now :naughty: sorry, couldn` help it[/SIZE]) which took place in the second largest town in Czech Republic called Brno. Martina Navratilova, the tennis legend who is originnaly from Czechoslovakia, by chance exactly from this town of Brno and is an open lesbian sent a supporting message, it was read on the parade and is also on the web page (also in English). All in all it was fun until a group of men in black marched into the square screaming "resistence!" attacked us.. it was rather scary. But then the police chased them out and succeded to keep them away from us on the square and during the march in the streets. The extremists threw eggs, there were some noisy exploisions, tear gas. 20 people were injured. To Martinibaby one idiot cracked her balloon which then hit her in the bosom, and they also stepped on her lovely yellow shoes. Nothing serious happened to us but it was scary.. This was in Czech Republic. In the country where I live - Slovakia - there are no queer/pride parades whatsoever, they would probably end much worse then the one in Czech Reublic.

There were also cool belly dancers, travestie show.. loads of rainbow flags, balloons, crazy dressed people, music.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
