So we can assume the real figure is probably about 2%. I'm not making a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) I would have thought Pansexual and Asexuals, but mainly “Curious”, who aren’t ready to define as Gay or Bi yet. Edited February 27, 2020 by Declan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think pansexuals are really pretty odd...I mean, who gets turned on by kitchenware? 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhtred Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Apparently, just for Pride week, Ramsey Commissioners are renaming one of their better known residential thoroughfares as ‘Uphill Gardeners Lane’. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen Spy Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I think the point is that when you factor in "identity politics" you find that there are some people who will be disproportionately represented in terms of political engagement and therefore with answering surveys from Big Brother....uh...the IOM Government.

2112 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Island gears up for The Long Walk to Pride - Manx Radio 9/6/21 I don’t know if anyone has seen the front entrance of the Villa Marina? It has been repainted in the rainbow colours, and it’s created a rumpus on IOMNP Facebook page. Loads up in arms that people dare to question the cost of painting, and questioning or raising a point could deem you racist, sexist or possible homophobic, in the eyes of some of our most left wing ‘nutters’ I have nothing against this taking place in the Villa Marina gardens, however, I do take issue with the repainting of a taxpayer funded and owned building. Who paid for the repainting? Who authorised the repainting? How much did it cost? The Island is going to have to make very hard choices, belt buckling, and certain sections of society will be hit. If the Isle of Pride charity have paid, is it a good use of charity resources? As an aside, I have noticed that whilst it has started of as Isle of Pride, a predominantly LGBTQ+ event/organisation it is morphing into a super organisation with other sectors and groups tagging along. Various groups and charities are aligned to the Isle of Pride. One question I would ask is - If you are a primarily a LGBTQ+ charity supposedly trying to raise awareness of issues within the local LGBTQ+ community, would it have made sense to align yourselves with LGBTQ+ charities, such as the Terrence Higgins Trust or Albert Kennedy? An admission charge or collection could have promoted with the proceeds going towards these charities? Just a suggestion!

The paint was bought by pokerstars and the coop, it was applied by Buchanan and Pitts, and it cost nothing to you. It looks good. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTucker Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Best of luck to all involved. Hope it’s good event with no trouble and it helps any young LGBTQ+ to feel more accepted. ❤️🏳️🌈 Edited June 9, 2021 by TomTucker 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks good. If it didn’t cost the taxpayer, then all the better. Perhaps if the donors of the paint and the Labour were mentioned, both on the IOMNP Facebook page and also on the Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece, perhaps people (not just me!) wouldn’t need to ask the question.
