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.

Fundamentalist Watch


I thought it was interesting to read that anti-gay televangelist Jerry Falwell (www.falwell.com) lost a Supreme Court appeal. He took Christopher Lamparello (a gay man) to court after Lamparello registered a domain name (www.fallwell.com), which claimed that the evangelist’s teachings were wrong.

Falwell worries that people entering the incorrect web address will find themselves at the bogus site. However I should think “This website is NOT affiliated with Rev. Dr. Jerry Falwell or his ministry.” at the top of every page should make it clear enough.

I must admit to finding this quite humorous myself. If you care to visit www.belfastpride.org, you will find yourself redirected to the Stop The Parade Coalition’s website – in a most charming shade of pink. (The religious group are opposed to the Pride event). This is obviously meant to mislead us local gays. Just lucky we are smart enough not to be fooled by their little trick!

All this website business is quite worrying. I know a spelling mistake in Google (www.goggle.com) brings up lots of nasty adverts and so on.

So yes, if you come across any religious fundamentalists misspelling my blog address and trying to pass themselves off as me, do let me know. I might just send them a rude email or two.

Some other religious types have been putting the FUN into FUNdamentalist when they thought they'd go ruin everyone's Easter by yelling at the children and parents taking part in the White House Easter egg roll. Check out Woman's blog for a photo.

So yes, God still hates us all!

Cheers for the links straighttalker!

Isn't it great living here?

Sodom,sodom all!

I particularly liked their little email advice about them forwarding offensive mail sent to them onto the police/parades commision.

Whoops!

I haven't ever emailed them to be honest.... not really worth bothering about.

For a religious site against gays, - I don't really understand the pink colour scheme. On the old site they also had a rather nice pride flag banner which I liked so much I saved it to my computer.

*sigh*

You should come to the pride parade this summer SID. You could stare at them and generally block their view and stuff. I'll buy you a drink after :)

for every pro there is a con, and for every con there is a pro.

it is quite worrying since a whole lot can be done through the internet that by some luck you get fooled by the wrong web address, it can be dire. my my, watch your spelling!

ooh, and thanks for the compliments to my hamster. i'm hoping to get a dog this coming fall, once i find a pet-friendly place. dogs recognize their names when you call them, and they get really happy when you come home to see 'em

Oh, I know extremely!

Although mine is old now - 17 1/2 - so he is either a bit deaf or pretends to be a bit deaf. None the less he is still my little prince :)
