No 'poetic justice' or anything. Dominic's wife, Julia was MHK for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 3 minutes ago, The Voice of Reason said: Thanks Gladys. I don’t have Netflix. Funny that two hugely acclaimed and popular series over the past couple of years had Manx connections - It's a Sin and Heartstopper. The first was an absolute binge watch, that had me in tears. Stuff has been so wrong and it isn't actually about sex, it is all about being able to be yourself. When you have a family member try to take their life because the 'being able to be yourself' is a seemingly a dead end with no hope, then perhaps that little shift is not too much of an effort. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 1 hour ago, Gladys said: It was a great event, very happy and lots of smiley, chatty people. Shame about DD being referred to as Mrs, but perhaps there was a poetic justice there. We had to leave because it was just too hot, shouldn't complain but I hope everyone has a great time. I don't get this reference to Dominic Delaney. What's that all about ? Can anyone enlighten me ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been corrected it was Mrs Delaney, apparently. The quote was something like 'what these people want is to be treated the same as heterosexuals, to marry and have the same rights as heterosexuals' to which Joe Locke said 'yep, that about sums it up".

He’s a thoroughly good kid very grounded one of my tribe did lots of shows and stuff with him - he often struggled with lifts and transport as his Mum doesn’t drive and was always grateful for a lift - he keeps in touch with his IOM drama / acting friends whenever home - he’s alright 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to recognise that those with a different sexuality are no less valid members of society and it should not define people. Just like your or my heterosexuality does not define us, there is much more to us and we take that for granted. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BDSM isn't a sexual preference, it's a kink. Some argue BDSM should be on the flag, too. All a bit fluid these days. Anyroads, I found this quite open hostility towards police a bit odd. They were on the float leading the parade. I know local history has been rocky in this regard, but still. Weren’t we supposed to be past that? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a question of waiting, there's still a lot of bigotry amongst the young. There are some real knuckledraggers out there, and not particularly on the Isle of Man. His comments in calling down all 'old people' as bigots and wishing them all dead was particularly ignorant and petulant! The bigoted MHK's were just doing what they thought their electorate wanted I'm sure, just to ensure they got re-elected. They were very wrong indeed.
