Woke up and, not being able to get back to sleep, picked up my phone.

I haven't read them all, of course, but from what I can tell the 3000 responses to their tweet so far not surprisingly don't seem to be in support of their view.

I've heard a lot more people openly criticising gay men, saying how when men get with other men they egg each other on in their perversions to go further and further into fetish whereas men who are with women will generally have the brakes put on their experimentation into fetish by women who generally aren't as into extreme sex and drugs as men are.

I used to go to gay clubs when I was a teenager (had the best music and very few creepy guys hitting on you). It was music and dance yay. This was the 80s.

Now I world with a few gay guys - the scene is quite different these days. I’m sure there were, err ‘specialist interest/activities’ going on in some clubs back in the day, but the things they tell me (is not unheard of) from some of the clubs - I never heard or came across anything like these. It was the type of thing you’d think of as happening in some dodgy back alley in soho.

More and more, I'm convinced that the TRA lobby is financed by anti-gay and anti-women movements.

FormerMediocreMale · 19/07/2019 08:46

Glad they are getting ratio'd, I'm in full support of stopping this blatant specialisation of children for adult fetish.

When pride first started it was all about showing people that homosexuals were normal people who happened to live the same sex. It was about showing people they were not deviants. That was when it was LGB.

Now the alphabet soup is more about kinks and fetishes including trying to make paedophilia seem normal. It is the organisations that included the alphabet soup that have led to fetishes being linked to homosexuality so sadly stories like this will have homophobic comments and I think there will be a certain backlash.

The LGB needs separating from the murky soup IMO but as I'm straight it's not really down to me. I have seen the damage homophobia has done to friends of mine - that have been assaulted by gangs and I would hate to see a resurgence of this because of the inclusion of fetishists.

*sexualisation

FloralBunting · 19/07/2019 08:50

I've been saying it until I'm blue in the face. If you, as a gay man, willing hook together homosexual orientation with open public fetishism and child abuse, there is no way you will prevent the backlash that will strike at every single homosexual.

I'm not saying it because I'm looking forward to that backlash. I'm saying it to try and wake up your foolish arse before a mob comes with torches and pitchforks for everyone who thinks that homosexuality is natural and acceptable.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 19/07/2019 08:53

Oh, that's disappointing.

I was hoping "pink news fail" was something to do with them going out of business.... Wink

TheRedBarrows · 19/07/2019 08:58

What would Stonewall say?

Absolutely! High profile gay men have had absolutely no qualms in throwing women and children ubder the bus.

The pushback will take gay rights back, it will also take away some women's rights too. Sad

We are under the bus from both sides. Better make ourselves comfortable there!!

Lumene · 19/07/2019 09:14

The specific wording of the bill would outlaw any performance “that suggests a minor is participating or engaging in sexual activity, masturbation, or bestiality and that, taken as a whole by the average person applying contemporary community standards, appeals to prurient interest.

No mention of drag, just against sexualising children in any context.

IfIShouldFallFromGraceWithGod · 19/07/2019 09:14

Pride needs to take some responsibility for the link being made between gay/fetish/paedophilia
Gay men should be distancing themselves from this and not, in some cases, using the movement to put the boot in on women. LOJ I'm looking at you

ZebrasAreBras · 19/07/2019 10:10

But scarily, an LGBT Facebook retweeted the image with 10 on it with the caption ‘absolutely- love is love’. It shows how dangerous it is to just blindly accept it.

Potl - yes, that was how I was made aware of it - not from the hoax, but from the fact that an LGBT group actually used it!

But think where "Acceptance without Exception" actually takes us, as a society. It's not good - there are men out there wanting to sexually exploit children, lower the age of consent, and just as they jumped on the civil rights bandwagon in the 70s, they are back and jumping on the LGBTQ+++ bandwagon.

Incredible how history repeats itself, when lessons should have been learned.

Juells · 19/07/2019 10:29

Xiaoxiong
So much homophobia in the comments sad this is what I have been so worried about, that all the prejudice against gay people - gay men in particular - is going to come roaring back as a result.

There is increasing resentment towards gay men as they haven't defended women - not only not defended, but piled on with the TWAW because men's inner feelings are more important than lesbians' rights to be same-sex attracted and women's rights to privacy. I think there will be a backlash as homophobes take the opportunity to hide behind righteous virtue-signalling, just as misogynists have used TWAW as a way to put women in their place. All that's needed is an excuse, and Stonewall is providing that excuse.

WhatTheWatersShowedMe · 19/07/2019 10:31

Desmond is Amazing and the drag children wouldn't be a thing if they weren't being publicized and exploited, first and foremost, by their straight parents. It baffles me as to why the gay scene is enabling this child exploitation- they should be vocally condemning this and refusing to have underage performers in their clubs. It is a safeguarding NIGHTMARE.

Xiaoxiong · 19/07/2019 11:10

I don't really do twitter so don't know what happened here, PN appears to have posted the same tweet a second time: mobile.twitter.com/PinkNews/status/1152144812906340353

Michelleoftheresistance · 19/07/2019 11:20

Many lesbian, bi and gay people no longer use the acronym 'lgbt(whatever)' and avoid anything with that label on it, because it has come to mean a specific political position. The position is 'queering' or 'queered' whatever - society, culture, education, which basically means any boundaries, any norms, any taboos, should be smashed. Safeguarding in particular is a norm and a boundary. Women as a concept is a norm and a boundary. This is where the pseudo intellectual drivel about 'childhood is a social construct' and 'sex is a social construct' is coming from. It makes people engage in discussion to defend it which by doing so validates that it is up for discussion and chips away at it.

It's got this far because it's largely of no interest to the average person in the street so far. But think of the howling mobs outside the courts when certain paedophiles have been on trial, and what they would have done to anyone they got hold of. And then think about what happens, demonstrated in history, when people no longer trust the law to provide justice and do it themselves.

If this group, who should have been put back in their box at the start, push this to breaking point (and they will, restraint and impulse control aren't characteristics of the leading lights of this movement) it will get very ugly.

Yep, and they are being dragged just as hard this time too. This lot are so far into own little TERFblocked world, they forget there are the rest of humanity going WTF? at this sort of thing.

Doyoumind · 19/07/2019 12:38

It's normal for 'news' to be posted more than once on Twitter.

A lot of this stuff will have been scheduled in advance rather than being live tweeted but it could have been turned off.

What amazes me is how many politicians line up to be photographed as Pink News supporters at the various Westminster-heavy parties they host/attend.

OvaHere · 19/07/2019 13:11

Penis News aren't really media, they are special interest lobbyists masquerading as a media outlet. This is why Cohen spends half his life in Westminster and you see all the cosying up to politicians under the guise of 'award's'.

Jellylegsni · 19/07/2019 13:49

I'm glad that was a fail. There was a similar backlash on twitter about some Canadian TV programme about "drag kids".

I was looking through Desmond's dad's Twitter (he comments under that tweet somewhere) and there's a link to a fashion show Desmond took part in on vogue.

www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2018-menswear/gypsy-sport/slideshow/collection#8

A lot of the "clothes" are very questionable. But one of them, which I have hopefully linked to above, is one of those weird dog face mask things those pervy men wear. I don't know much about how fashion works...but are these things supposed to be informing what the high street will stock in future or something?

Thingybob · 19/07/2019 13:49

the link being made between gay/fetish/paedophilia. Gay men should be distancing themselves from this

I admit to being a homophobic (towards some gay men) as that cross over between being a gay man and needing to publicly display all sorts of fetishes has been going on for years. I don't want any children (or myself) to be inadvertently exposed to what should be something completely private between consenting adults so bloody well get a room.

For example:

The only time I stumbled on a Pride march I was with grandchildren and was made very uncomfortable by the fetish wear, semi-nudity and sexually explicit behaviour coming from men.

One of my favourite local beaches is a naturalist beach but I no longer go there in the summer as it is over run by gay men parading up and down and having casual hook ups in the dunes.

A public toilet block in my local town is renowned for being a cottaging site so not an appropriate place for a man or boy to simply have a pee.

For the record I couldn't care less if you hold hands or kiss in public but anything more overtly sexual is not appropriate from either sex or sexuality in public places.

Jellylegsni · 19/07/2019 13:51

Ok the link doesn't go to the picture I am talking about but if you scroll through the pictures you'll see it. A lot of chains and nipples and stuff on the other pictures...it's all a bit gross. Or maybe that was some kind of special fetish fashion show (if so not really an appropriate place for a young boy).

FormerMediocreMale · 19/07/2019 14:03

Love they are getting ratio'd again.

One comment was interesting as it suggested anyone supporting this could go on a paedo watch list.

This made me wonder if a "Paedo blocker" could be created. It could be useful tool that parents could make sure their children used. All the MAPs could be put on it for starters.

BatShite · 19/07/2019 14:20

I fear if all this continues, LGB people will be set back years of progress, all because of the likes of Stonewall and such deciding 'gender identity' trumps all and basically abandoning gay people..and even saying that being gay is transphobic!
