Remember the one where Moe robbed Homers cocktail idea?

In this case it would have been more flaming ho-mo than flaming mo.. :pac:

Was in the queue outside myself until 11pm, and gave up and went to the official gig in the Tivoli after 90 minutes of exasperating queueing. From the frustration of the many outside, I wouldn't be surprised if some queen, bitter at not getting in, decided to ring up and pretend to have planted a bomb. I wouldn't be 100% surprised. There are some crazy queens out there.

Wouldn't laugh though, I occasionally used to drink in the Admiral Duncan in London, which was the site of the awful Soho bomb in the 90s in which several people were killed. Its not funny to be a target.

Didn't see anybody beating the crap out of anybody in that area, then again that doesn't mean it wasn't happening elsewhere.

I heard it was a hoax caused by someone who was peeved that they were stuck in the city centre for an hour cos of that damned parade and had to listen to the s**tty techno music they were playing while stuck on the bus.

LIKE SRSLY, we need to stop all thses parades, marches, protests and whatnot on oconnell street, the phoenix park is available for such nonsense

not at all we need to have these parades/marches/protests in the heart of the city for everyone to see- which is the point if us doing them! doing it in phoenix park would be like doing it in an ampty field! what would be the point

and i also beg to differ that these things are "nonsense"

as well as this- the bus routes would have been changed so as not to affect anyone !!!

Actually the parades ARE nonsense.Whats the point of people having a parade based on your sexuality?You dont here of "Straight Pride" now do you?And maybe,just maybe "everybody" doesnt WANT to see it..

Perhaps when straight people are victimised for their sexual orientation and are dissalowed basic rights because of this then there will be a 'straight pride'.

dreamr · 24-06-2008 12:16PM

i was there, and they closed off the street, and evactauted everyone, even from near bars. no one was allowed back in for around an hour and a half, (i snuck into the dragon, it was raining outside) and then we all got free drink when we were allowed back in, clearly a load of the crowd went home. but at least it was a nice end to the night, knowing that the George survived another bomb scare.

well dont go into town on pride day then- and you wont see it

gay pride is not based on our proudness of our sexuality-

it is to commemorate our proudness of it being legalised due to a riot that
happened in new york 25 years ago!

it is also an act of protest for equal rights that we STILL do not hold

the point of the parade is that gay people want to be seen as equals to straight people. we're marching so we can have the same fundamental civil rights that you are born with. a civil partnership is not that same as marriage. and the reason we march is to high light the message we were trying to get across.

Can I just ask what exactly are the differences between a marriage and civil partnership?Im not to sure

And there's a number of good reasons for that.

name the good reasons

dreamr · 24-06-2008 12:44PM

theres a big difference. (i'm just gonna but and paste, cos i'm off to lunch)

If a couple marries in one state and travels to another, no one will question their status. If one is admitted to a hospital on a holiday trip, the authority of the other is acknowledged. They are married and the concept holds true world-wide. Where as if your in a civil partnership, the ability of one person to act on behalf of the other, and the life-and-death decisions people sometimes have to make, are all up for question.

The most insulting aspect of the Civil Partnership bill is, unlike marriage, Civil Partnerships are explicitly forbidden by law to take place in the context of a religious ceremony!

What equal rights?You can do everything straight people can do except perhaps get married.I dont see the need to constantly inflict allusions to your sexuality on everybody else.

dreamr · 24-06-2008 12:47PM

and PeadarofAodh, i don't think you'll get angry responses. People will just see that you are quite ignorant. (and please look up the word ignorant in the dictionary before you tell me your not.)

Why do you WANT to get married so badly?If you love each other enough surely it deosnt matter what the catholic church thinks of the status of your relationship.Anyway,surely marraige is all about raising children?

the reason we have to inflict them is to spread the word about this etc- yes exactly we cant get married- it is not a right of 10% of us in ireland- and it should be! and how do people get things legalised- publicity and marches etc etc and then possibly a refrendum! small mindedness, honestly

this is nothing to do with the catholic church! its about family values- adopton- etc etc the church will never recognise us as married- we get that- as well as that only married couples can adopt

What if you cant have children? What is marriage about then?

if marriage is an irrelevant part of life (if people love each other) why does anyone get married??

Cos of the enormous economic benefits there is to having a legal,married life partner
