Does it make any difference to how I view you as a person? No.<br /><br />Pride. You do know, I hope, that pride is one of the seven cardinal sins and does come before the fall. But ok. We are all proud of something. Usually when we have achieved something. To give you the benefit of the doubt, I will concede that you (as a demographic) have achieved to step out of the closet. How long ago was that? Now? Now I just wish you'd give it a rest instead of, see my first comment, shoving your sexuality down my throat.<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-44155288876179636652022-08-07T14:43:08.917+01:002022-08-07T14:43:08.917+01:00Well said, Andrew.Well said, Andrew.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-13331162929773761422022-08-07T13:11:57.980+01:002022-08-07T13:11:57.980+01:00Some people are getting a bit tetchy here this mor...Some people are getting a bit tetchy here this morning; it must be the unrelenting HEAT.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-86109435747672350192022-08-07T12:49:59.256+01:002022-08-07T12:49:59.256+01:00Brighton has always been a very welcoming town to ...Brighton has always been a very welcoming town to artists, eccentrics, gays, actors, lesbians; you name it, they're welcome.

In fact we are happy and take pride in what we are. Forty years ago I was nothing more than a fucking poofta. Now I am an acceptable member of society. I take some pride in that and I am very proud of western society that generally accepts gay men now. We've come a long way in my lifetime. If we need at times to celebrate that, then so be it.
