There were a lot of stools pushed in last night in that place.

Somehow I don't think Delta GoodRIM has tits that would scare any gay boys.

Endless possibilities here Snyp. Brian could have been in the audience in his glittery frock and dislikered all the attention she was getting, and decided to call it in himself.

Think "the breakup" when Jen Aniston gets a phone-call from her friend to kill the date..

There would have been a fair few flaming homosexuals had there really been a bomb :D:););) <---- Is this enough smileys? I don't want Rb to call me a homophobe.

Was in the queue outside myself until 11pm, and gave up and went to the official gig in the Tivoli after 90 minutes of exasperating queueing. From the frustration of the many outside, I wouldn't be surprised if some queen, bitter at not getting in, decided to ring up and pretend to have planted a bomb. I wouldn't be 100% surprised. There are some crazy queens out there.

Wouldn't laugh though, I occasionally used to drink in the Admiral Duncan in London, which was the site of the awful Soho bomb in the 90s in which several people were killed. Its not funny to be a target.

Didn't see anybody beating the crap out of anybody in that area, then again that doesn't mean it wasn't happening elsewhere.

not at all we need to have these parades/marches/protests in the heart of the city for everyone to see- which is the point if us doing them! doing it in phoenix park would be like doing it in an ampty field! what would be the point

and i also beg to differ that these things are "nonsense"

as well as this- the bus routes would have been changed so as not to affect anyone !!!

Actually the parades ARE nonsense.Whats the point of people having a parade based on your sexuality?You dont here of "Straight Pride" now do you?And maybe,just maybe "everybody" doesnt WANT to see it..

Perhaps when straight people are victimised for their sexual orientation and are dissalowed basic rights because of this then there will be a 'straight pride'.

dreamr

i was there, and they closed off the street, and evactauted everyone, even from near bars. no one was allowed back in for around an hour and a half, (i snuck into the dragon, it was raining outside) and then we all got free drink when we were allowed back in, clearly a load of the crowd went home. but at least it was a nice end to the night, knowing that the George survived another bomb scare.

well dont go into town on pride day then- and you wont see it

gay pride is not based on our proudness of our sexuality-

it is to commemorate our proudness of it being legalised due to a riot that
happened in new york 25 years ago!

it is also an act of protest for equal rights that we STILL do not hold

the point of the parade is that gay people want to be seen as equals to straight people. we're marching so we can have the same fundamental civil rights that you are born with. a civil partnership is not that same as marriage. and the reason we march is to high light the message we were trying to get across.

Can I just ask what exactly are the differences between a marriage and civil partnership?Im not to sure

dreamr

theres a big difference. (i'm just gonna but and paste, cos i'm off to lunch)

If a couple marries in one state and travels to another, no one will question their status. If one is admitted to a hospital on a holiday trip, the authority of the other is acknowledged. They are married and the concept holds true world-wide. Where as if your in a civil partnership, the ability of one person to act on behalf of the other, and the life-and-death decisions people sometimes have to make, are all up for question.

The most insulting aspect of the Civil Partnership bill is, unlike marriage, Civil Partnerships are explicitly forbidden by law to take place in the context of a religious ceremony!

What equal rights?You can do everything straight people can do except perhaps get married.I dont see the need to constantly inflict allusions to your sexuality on everybody else.

and PeadarofAodh, i don't think you'll get angry responses. People will just see that you are quite ignorant. (and please look up the word ignorant in the dictionary before you tell me your not.)

Why do you WANT to get married so badly?If you love each other enough surely it deosnt matter what the catholic church thinks of the status of your relationship.Anyway,surely marraige is all about raising children?

the reason we have to inflict them is to spread the word about this etc- yes exactly we cant get married- it is not a right of 10% of us in ireland- and it should be! and how do people get things legalised- publicity and marches etc etc and then possibly a refrendum! small mindedness, honestly

this is nothing to do with the catholic church! its about family values- adopton- etc etc the church will never recognise us as married- we get that- as well as that only married couples can adopt

Usually to start a family,as a result of a union between man and woman.A gay couple cant do that and there are people(not myself neccesarily) who think that a same sex union is unnatural and utterly not condusive to bringing up normal children.

gay people are just like real people, and they can get pregrant as well. It's also about adoptive rights, people please use your brains.

PeadarofAodh

Tax benefits were put in place to encourage marriage between opposite-sex couples which in turn encourages production of children. AFAIK same-sex partnerships are not permitted to adopt, neither can they produce children...so why should they receive tax benefits?

I would be of the opinion that a male-female upbringing of a child is more balanced than a male-male/female-female situation but then that's just me.

Please don't take this as an attack on the gay community - I've debated this with numerous gay friends of mine constructively without being attacked for my views. I'm not bothered replying to such comments.

"and please look up the word ignorant in the dictionary before you tell me your not"

define normal?

not to start a family to receive economic benefits- gone are the days when peopl had children withn wedlock!

same sex union is unnatural-i agree- which is why i am fighting for same sex marriage!

furthermore PeadarofAodh (this is not an attack i am also xpressing my views) it has been proven very recently in europe that childrn don't need a mother and a father for a balanced upbringing, and it is also no inflicted upon us to be gay, it is a genetic inheretence

I agree.Without attacking anybody's beliefs that fact is that parents are reponsible for the lion's share of thir children's education.If children perceive homsexuality to be the norm it'll cause them a huge amount of trouble in the real world.For example,sexual education in school..they wont understand the concept of two opposite sex couples bacuse thats not what they're used to seeing.They'll be at a massive disadvantage emotionally and educationally to say nothing of the attention they'll encounter from children thier own age with normal parents.I'm not saying i feel the situation is right,merely that thats the way it has been done for thousands of years.

"Very recently" being the key words here. We have thousands of years of history bringing children up traditionally. I'd tend to go with the tried and tested.

"Genetic inheritance"...bit off topic but I'm 99.9% sure this hasn't been proven.

incorrect- we like you will not have sex in front of our children, therefore, no child understands about sex until they go to school, they wil be stronger minded and more accepting to gay people out in the real world as they go grow up,due to the fact that they are used to it, and they will have the same feelings towards men and women as they hit adolescence therefore nothing will change, apart from they will have two mums/dads, In years to come it should be a normal thing to be gay, noone will have to come out, and it won't be a big deal, sally having two mommys will be normal etc etc and yes this has been a nomal thing for thousands of years but thats we we campaign, for change

just like the way african slaves did and as i am sure many others will in the future for a more equal life that suits them, and their circumstances
