Oh the irony! Watch the woke folk implode with self-righteous indignation!

Karma?

I’m bi, but when I married my husband I didn’t know I was having a stunning, brave occasion!

Do you become straight, if you are bi but marry the opposite sex? Or are bi people married to the opposite sex the most oppressed people ever because everyone says they are straight thus have undergone conversion therapy as they are regarded as no longer LGBT? Except they still are, cos they still fancy both sexes? They are not LGBT+ enough unless they also have a same sex relationship and are therefore poly? And if they aren't poly they have been erased?

This stuff is important.

Obviously.

The fact that gay people vote for a straight man suggests they have thought the gay candidate might have been more interested in representing trans issues than gay ones. A straight person in that role really won’t get away with failing to represent the L, the G & the B for long.

What comes across is a level of entitlement. Rohit stood for election. He was not elected. He calls foul.

He may be right that like in the Lily example, the person standing against him could not contribute the experience required to do the role well. But tough. He did not complain about Lily, so cant really complain now.

What is interesting is who stood against him, and why. And why did he gain more votes. Is it like the bloke a year or so back who did a reverse Man Friday and temporally ID'd as a woman to stand for a woman's role, purely to make a point. So a protest against the woke.

Or is it that the queers, kinks, furries and pups are in sufficient ascendancy to overtake the gays.

Either way I can see why our entitled Rohit is cross.

From that twitter thread: “If everyone is special, then no one is.”

It’s from The Incredibles and I love that line.

MagneticSingularity · 29/06/2019 14:07

From that twitter thread: “If everyone is special, then no one is.”

Quite. How many times do we have to point out the blindingly bleeding obvious before they get it? Perhaps they’ll get it now.

ThriceNope · 29/06/2019 12:21

Oh glorious day! As my wise old Nan used to say.... They don't like it up 'em!

RedDogsBeg · 29/06/2019 12:16

I'm only surprised that the radicalisation portal that is MN FWR has not been blamed. There is still time and maybe that is what is taking LOJ so long to respond he is trying to find a way to shoe-horn in a diatribe about the horrors of MN FWR and how it is all our fault.

A good time for one of my favourite quotes about the Labour Party:
'For the men, not the many.'
Wish I'd thought of it first.

Oldstyle · 29/06/2019 12:07

The LGBT+Labour thread is wonderfully one-eyed in its wokeness (the definition of wokeness I suppose) but it's also really troubling. Every post that points out the parallels between this incident and men being appointed as women's officers is dismissed with a 'TW are women' or 'they are not men, they are female' response. Plus a dash of 'terf/bigot/transphobe' invective to shut us up.
And language matters. If we can't define ourselves as an oppressed class, as women, we lose the ability to assert / defend our rights. Women's right to be represented by women is being rapidly undermined and the reality deliberately obscured by the TWAW mantra. This is so clearly a misogynist agenda. Depressing.

TheBullshitGoesOn · 29/06/2019 11:49

If we adopt the phrase I think it needs to be the full one Buzz.

Misogynistic hypocritical wanktrumpet

Mustn't forget the hypocritical part Grin

nevermorelenore · 29/06/2019 11:37

I think its simply, want to be seen as being more interesting than a regular straight people

Yep, queer is such a meaningless term now. I was reading a wedding blog the other day where they were gushing over a ‘queer’ wedding. It was literally a man and a woman getting married, as they’ve done for thousands of years, but the woman identified as non-binary and had pink hair etc. It was tagged with #LGBT ffs. I’m bi, but when I married my husband I didn’t know I was having a stunning, brave occasion!

Q & Non-Q

Brilliant!

Weezol · 29/06/2019 11:32

ZebrasAreBras Please, please work this up and submit it to Medium and Prick News etc. I'm sure one of them will bite.

I think LOJs mam has suspended his Internet privileges on the basis that he needs to get out in the fresh air. Perhaps he's playing golf with a chum then having a picnic with lashings of ginger beer.

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 29/06/2019 11:25

It's appalling that Rohit is trying to force this LGBT+ person out of the closet.

titchy · 29/06/2019 11:17

Their choice of clothes and appearance could not be more gender conforming.

They're brilliant! Rejecting the terms 'mummy' and 'daddy' for being too gender-conforming. So they went for the utterly unconventional 'mama' and 'abba' which is the Hebrew for father!

R0wantrees · 29/06/2019 11:14

Lass I think its simply, want to be seen as being more interesting than a regular straight people

Many people seem very keen to avoid being seen as 'vanilla' !

Its the modern incarnation of 'U and Non-U'
'Q & Non-Q'?

LassOfFyvie · 29/06/2019 11:12

As a Tory I'm on the one hand delighted with yet more examples of how utterly bonkers, irrelevant, divorced from reality and incapable of running a whelk stall the Labour party is and the worry that there might still be enough people willing to vote for them to win an election.

LassOfFyvie · 29/06/2019 11:08

They’ve got purple hair and want to be seen as being more interesting than a regular straight people

But they haven't. Their choice of clothes and appearance could not be more gender conforming.

PancakeAndKeith · 29/06/2019 10:54

What is "queer" supposed to mean in this context?

They’ve got purple hair and want to be seen as being more interesting than a regular straight people.

TheBigBallOfOil · 29/06/2019 10:53

As a Tory can I please reinforce the suggestion of lobbying them on this hard, stressing that it’s a vote winner with women? Tories are pragmatic. If they think self id wins them a few votes at low cost that’s why they’ll adopt it, not because they believe in it.

TriptychDebbie · 29/06/2019 10:53

To add to that, I live in a woke town which is full of so-called queer types. They are without a doubt, some of the most self obsessed, sanctimonious, dullest people I've ever had the misfortune to come across.

TriptychDebbie · 29/06/2019 10:51

Being 'queer' is the new 'we do everything together as a couple' Which apparently also includes avoiding reality.

LassOfFyvie · 29/06/2019 10:46

"Naming is particularly important to the pair as a means of signaling their queerness, since they “pass” as a straight couple. “We don’t look visibly queer,” Ms. Davidson said

What is "queer" supposed to mean in this context? They are a cis, (sorry I know it's frowned on, but I think it's excusable in the context here to emphasise the absurdity of what she is saying) heterosexual couple.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 29/06/2019 10:25

Don't let that stop your philanthropy!

I'm not even on twitter, but Rachel found me nonetheless thanks to their constant scouring on MN for uppity women

TriptychDebbie · 29/06/2019 10:19

Much as I'd love to oblige @BuzzShitbagBobbly they've all blocked me so they would have to insult me by carrier pigeon.
