Alanbellend Posted Monday at 05:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:31 PM Weren’t these the same two attention seeking clowns who had Pride disbanded with similar claims of abuse and victimization? Is it possible that they could be associated with anything without claiming they’re being victimized to attract public and media attention to themselves? https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/drag-artist-hits-back-at-hateful-comments-following-pyjama-party-announcement-725945 It’s Laxey Working Men’s club FFS.

Yes the same. Gotta appreciate the irony of the Working Men's Club. Surely a massive flounce is part of the territory? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people feel the need to make vicious, personal, hate filled attacks, full of misinformation. Yes, they protested about two things at Pride, police presence and the fact the the organising committee wasn’t LGBTQIA and Pride seemed to be a jolly, rather than a protest and fund raiser for LGBTQIA causes. Neither seem to be me me me as far as I’m concerned. 1. No need for the abuse. They’re right to defend themselves. 2. They were probably right about non operational policing presence and definitely right about lack of community organisation/involvement. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted Monday at 06:55 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:55 PM People have a right to live their lives as they wish but these beauties were being interviewed by MR a while ago as if they were some sort of celebrities by Christy. They look like the Dames in Panto or the ugly sisters and then they wonder why people call them attention seekers. If anyone whatever their sexual preferences went around dressed as they do they would probably get stick they invite comment and confrontation then complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine referring to themselves as "queer" isn't helping their cause.

Just like she interviews musicians and local am dram types. They're performers. Quote They look like the Dames in Panto or the ugly sisters and then they wonder why people call them attention seekers. Well, yeah - they're drag performers. So they're part of that tradition. I don't think anyone has a problem with you describing Drag Artists as attention seekers - it's show-biz. Quote If anyone whatever their sexual preferences went around dressed as they do they would probably get stick they invite comment and confrontation then complain. Why? Giving people stick for how they dress is bullying and suggesting they invite it is victim blaming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live and let live FFS. I despair at how intolerant this island is becoming. I had a woman shouting at me the other day for walking my dog off the lead! (He's the softest, friendliest dog you could ever meet), but for some reason this woman thought she was perfectly justified shouting at me like a naughty schoolboy because he was off a lead. When did that happen? As a kid I remember at least two dogs who spent their days wandering the streets. Everyone knew who owned them but nobody complained, there wasn't really anything to complain about. Too many busybodies about these days, I home they have a brilliant party. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hear more of people's thoughts now because they think regurgitating their thoughts into FB and other social media is fine. Facebook feels like navigating a cesspool of exposed thoughts, filled with complaints and a constant need for narcissistic validation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think it would cause a flounce ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
