Another day, another bloody idiot staggers cretinously into the newspaper headlines.Andrew Bretell of gay action group "Pride in Canterbury" is to complain to the Local Govt Ombudsman because Canterbury isn't gay enough.
It would seem that Bretell really isn't comfortable enough with his own sexuality, so he has to remind everyone he takes it up the bum by complaining about the lack of gay bars and community centres - that low self-esteem, it's a bitch...
If he wants to be gay, fine, but for God's sake, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT IT. What strikes me about people like this is the fact that it's clearly not enough to be gay, everyone else has to know about it - and that really gets right up my nose.
It's people like Bretell who cause gay people a problem. So there are no gay bars - there are no geek bars either but I don't wander about pissing and moaning like a spolit brat. There are also no Jewish sandwich shops or Christian Hairdressers but I don't see anyone burning cars or starting riots outside Aldi as a result.
Perhaps I should start action of my own, as a straight man of 40 I want more cafes which specifically cater ONLY for straight, white, middle-class, middle-aged men who ... oh. wait. that's racist and sexist isn't it - I forgot, we're not allowed to discriminate on the grounds of sexual preference, colour or social standing.
So Mr Bretell, why don't you shut the fuck up and get on with your life, or isn't that possible? What you do, with whom is your affair, by making it public you do those around you a disservice, now go and stand up in a corner somewhere till we've forgotten about you...
