Straight Talking
About Me


Name::straighttalker05
From::Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
I'm an avid dreamer. I have big ideas, and I'll probably take them somewhere. Watch this space. I want to present what I think - and not with words minced up into an acceptable platter. Some things need to be told straight - particularly gay rights. Particularly life in the closet, it's very nature means no one hears it. If they do it's usually tinted with nostalgia. I'm confident, I know what I like and what I don't. Please don't confuse this for arrogance. I'm probably more insecure then you imagine.

Do you want the good news or the bad news?...


I came across the new ‘fake gay news’ website, which exists because ‘real gay news is too damn depressing’. While it exists obviously to satirize the media, I have to admit – it is quite true.

This week, the Vatican has finally published its guidelines on homosexuality that clearly states that the Catholic Church cannot accept men who “practice homosexuality, present deeply rooted homosexual tendencies or support the so-called gay culture." Of course, they won’t have female priests anyway, so that’s that career off the list (not that it was ever on it).

In Poland, gay rights activists are looking at potential fines or prison sentences of up to a month for rallying in the Polish city of Poznan over the weekend, defying a city wide ban on their Equality March. This comes after an anti-gay Prime Minister, Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz was duely elected there.

Back home, our dear politicians are still arguing themselves quite silly over Civil Partnerships and Equality Legislation.

So thank god for tongue-in-the cheek humour!
