I fear this is going to upset people, but a genuine question. Why, 11 years after same-sex marriage, 20 years after civil partnerships and 58 years after the legalisation of homosexual acts, is Pride such a big deal?
I understand why people marched when there was still legal discrimination. But being gay is now surely just one among many legal sexual preferences. We don't hold marches to celebrate voyeurism or foot fetishism or whatever.
I ask, by the way, as someone who supported the equalisation of the age of consent and civil partnerships long before my party came round to the idea. And I note that the big corporates who now make the celebration semi-compulsory were nowhere to be seen when it genuinely was a question of equal rights under the law.

@owenjonesjourno It’s alkanet and no it’s not dangerous.

Says it all when an 80 year old singer puts on the best show of the entire Glastonbury weekend.
Congrats @rodstewart

@YourAnonCentral I fkn hate Trump and everything associated with him, but trolling a person because of their appearance, most of which is out of their control, is plain wrong.

@MrMatthewTodd @ExtinctionR Tbf I’m very bias because I loathed her. I was a scared closeted little teen when Clause 28 was introduced and the rhetoric around that was terrifying. I just can’t see her in a positive light.

@thackers1 @ExtinctionR Agree, nothings black and white but she did more than any PM to publicise the issue

@thackers1 @ExtinctionR The miners strike ended in 1985. These speeches were from 1988. Thatcher was removed from office in 1990. I’m not a fan of her at all but physics is physics. Scientific facts are scientific facts. She trained in chemistry and she clearly understood this reality.

@LBC She’s like a turkey voting for Xmas, this twat. She knows what Farage stands for and she’s still rimming him.

The writing in tonight’s episode of #thearchers was beyond terrible. Nobody, not even Will Grundy, is that stupid. Please, just put a bit of effort in! Alternatively, send me the scripts and I’ll edit them for you if you can’t find anyone halfway decent to do it!

@JackDunc1 It’s not that unusual tbf - a few summers ago I worked somewhere with all str8 guys who used to say they’d let me do exactly that. It’s so insulting. I abandoned that particular career choice pretty quickly

@whine_jeremy @terrychristian Having lunch with some people, one of them said ‘can you remember that council house party we had?’ Apparently they’d decorated venue, made food & dressed like they were in a council house. I went nuts and having gown up in a council house I used lots of council house expletives

@terrychristian I only heard it once but being helpful and returning glasses to the bar 'was so council house' 🤬😫

@mgordonwalker Got everything he deserved, the little wanker. #TheArchers

Well #thearchers Twitterati - how are you all feeling? Think this is going to cause all out war in the village. As it would have if he’d got a suspended sentence. Truly a masterpiece of storytelling and acting 👏

@LaurenLloris Both protected characteristics under the 2010 equality act, so….

@MaxFRobespierre Don’t quite believe the shock horror here - Tories defending a socialist policy brought in by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown? You’d’ve done away with winter fuel payments years ago but couldn’t cos pensioners are your core voters. Tell the truth
English

Why didn't you carry out an impact assessment for Brexit?
Conservatives@Conservatives
Now it's revealed that Labour didn't even carry out an impact assessment before they ripped away the winter fuel payment from millions of vulnerable pensioners. Simply disgraceful.
