In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

I think there are things that should be banned before either of those things.

But that's what is great about the world. We can all have opinions

I'm not going to comment on the first, I don't have a horse in the race, but Pride marches are still important as long as there are people in the world who find reasons to hate because of it, and people who can't be themselves because of this.

I suppose you can debate anything, but that's a pretty strange comparison?

Orange march and Pride?

Why those two

i get that but to be included in society you need to be a part of it. Making a day for yourself excludes you in a way that make you want to be special and unique. Yet to be a paert of a normal society you need to be just who you are and get on with life.

How and why are you equating Orange Marches to Pride?

I don't think they should be banned

But they should be policed like other events

I work with ex-coppers and they have told me stories of things they have seen but were told to ignore it or drop the case because of the negative publicity it would create

Like naked men and women walking around shaking their bits directly infront of children

People walking around touching others and grinding up against people who do not appreciate it

Walking around naked has nothing to do with being part of the LBGTQ community

That’s the good thing about freedoms and rights! They are universal and not selective.

Ban a Protestant march you have to ban a catholic march. Ban a pride march you have to ban a straight march.

You cannot claim the world is more liberal and inclusive when the government is trying to undermine the universal rights and freedoms that enable liberty and inclusivity!

That isn’t an opinion - it is basic fucking practical common sense!

If you cannot see the inequality all around you, this does not mean it doesn’t exist. It means you can’t see it because you do not recognise it.

Here endeth the lesson.

The except typo is apt. The suggestion that the LGBTQIA+ are accepted simply isn't true, particularly true of the T, so yes they are excluded and an exception rather than acceptance

Conform and comply?

People often want to feel like part of a group, as well as of a larger society. This is why you'll see folks with football shirts, band shirts and people who are part of various other groups.

To take that away from folk (as long as it's not offensive - I'm not gonna defend anyone in a pride march that acts in an inappropriate way), would not go down too well.

Exactly.

I've gone up against nazi scum with counter demos against the EDL and BNP and their like, but they have a right to March. Equally people counterdemoing Pride, it's their right. Ahd I'm not condoning them but they have a right to be there.

I find the freedom debate utterly fucking infuriating.

People use the word ‘freedom’ without understanding what it actually means in a practical sense.

We have autonomy. We do not have anarchy.

Your universal rights and freedoms as codified by the UNHCR and ECHR - both of which the Tories want to disregard - extend to the point where they meet and impact upon the universal rights and freedoms of other people.

You can use your autonomy and freedom of choice to decide to go further, but it is your personal responsibility not to do so.

Where people cannot be trusted to exercise personal responsibility, laws are drafted to enforce this responsibility.

Like wearing a fucking mask to stop others dying, even though no one can track the virus back to you individually that might have killed someone.

But hey, the freedom of choice to not wear a mask trumps the right of a sick person to live? That is why laws had to be drafted.

I swear to God people need to learn to bloody read. Facebook doesn’t count.

"I don't think they should be banned

But they should be policed like other events

I work with ex-coppers and they have told me stories of things they have seen but were told to ignore it or drop the case because of the negative publicity it would create

Like naked men and women walking around shaking their bits directly infront of children

People walking around touching others and grinding up against people who do not appreciate it

Walking around naked has nothing to do with being part of the LBGTQ community

(I may have mixed the letters up)

Is this sonething thst you say goes on at Pride?

Yes...

I'm not saying it's everyone

Like may things it's the small few that do it

So which Pride had naked people exposing themselves to children? I've never heard any suggestion of this happening"

OMG... I said I was told by ex-ploice when they were told to attend

There is a huge police presence at these events

These events are huge and attended by many people

Just because you haven't seen it don't mean it don't happen

It has been seen

And please read what I put carefully and not select the bits you want to argue

I didn't say they were exposing themselves to children I said they were infront of children

People attend and bring their kids

Kids can be aged up to 13 and classed as teenagers after that

Should I have used yound adults instead

So as always this is just anecdotal evidence rather than something people can actually fact check. I am telling you now that if a grown adult was exposing their genitalia in front of children the police would not do nothing.

There is no debate here!

Using your freedom of speech to argue that universal rights and freedoms should not be universal is at best hypocrisy! At worst it is a trope of fascism!

A right which isn’t a right is not a right but is a privilege.

Our democracy allows us the freedom to express our feelings, peacefully. In certain countries this is a death sentence.

The flipside is that post Brexit everyone has an opinion that they think is right and never wrong. There is no debating this.So whatever your feelings on the OP' post. You are right. End of debate.

You again seem opposed to the orange Lodge but argued the marches aren't needed as society is more accepting?

"two thing i think that need to be banned is Orange Walks and Pride Marches. In there day yes they did keep the fight going but now with the world being more liberal to others and inclusive and yes i know there is still work to do. can we just stop shouting it out in the street.

That’s the good thing about freedoms and rights! They are universal and not selective.

Ban a Protestant march you have to ban a catholic march. Ban a pride march you have to ban a straight march.

You cannot claim the world is more liberal and inclusive when the government is trying to undermine the universal rights and freedoms that enable liberty and inclusivity!

That isn’t an opinion - it is basic fucking practical common sense!

If you cannot see the inequality all around you, this does not mean it doesn’t exist. It means you can’t see it because you do not recognise it.

Here endeth the lesson.

We have a free society

All marches should be allowed imo. Including hate groups. Either you are pro free speech or you are against free speech.

Even if they incite and promote further hatred as part of their narrative?"

100%. America have better protections than us in that regard. The exception is incitement of violence which is an attack rather than free speech

A lot more than just nudity goes on - i saw amsterdam pride down by the canal and as joyous as it was ot wasnt a family event imo and in public seeing people walking about in fetish gear and with bits out seemed inappropriate given it was the streets of the capital and not in clubs or just the sex district.

It's banned at Pride in the UK so I tend to agree with you. And if there's other inappropriate activity - kink for example - I tend to think it's the parents' responsibility to decide whether to take their kids. Pride isn't meant to be for families, is it?

Nudity at pride has happened because I've seen it however I have also seen security guards and police deal with it immediately.

People attend and bring their kids

Kids can be aged up to 13 and classed as teenagers after that

Should I have used yound adults instead

So as always this is just anecdotal evidence rather than something people can actually fact check. I am telling you now that if a grown adult was exposing their genitalia in front of children the police would not do nothing.

I'm fairly confident you are right. Abd that people "touching and grinding" against random people wouldn't have been ignored either.

And I'm convinced nudity doesn't happen at Pride either.

It's banned at Pride in the UK so I tend to agree with you. And if there's other inappropriate activity - kink for example - I tend to think it's the parents' responsibility to decide whether to take their kids. Pride isn't meant to be for families, is it?

Pride is absolutely aimed at families and has been for years.

Maybe but it is not about families. Or FOR families. It is for the LGBTQ community.

That's an exceptionally naive comment seeing as there are thousands of LGBTQI families in this country. It's absolutely about families maybe you should Google it.

I'm aware of the arguments on both sides, Lorna. I don't need to Google thanks."

There is no argument pride is advertised as a family friendly event and has been for years so I don't understand the point in your comments or the fact you said it's not 4 families it's for LGBTQI people which as I said is exceptionally naive. I think you do need to look into it more because your statement suggests you're not quite sure what you're talking about.

"I don't think they should be banned

But they should be policed like other events

I work with ex-coppers and they have told me stories of things they have seen but were told to ignore it or drop the case because of the negative publicity it would create

Like naked men and women walking around shaking their bits directly infront of children

People walking around touching others and grinding up against people who do not appreciate it

Walking around naked has nothing to do with being part of the LBGTQ community

Yes...

I'm not saying it's everyone

Like may things it's the small few that do it

Pride and what it's aims are have changed over the years. Ultimately it is simply a festival to celebrate LGBTQI People and their supporters. Really not sure why anybody would want to ban what is basically a festival.

Didn't mean to start an argument... its not even my thread lol

Yes nudity happens whether it's fully naked or revealing clothing

I think fetish wear is fine and should be allowed but as long as its not showing actual genitals

Topless is fine as you see it on a beach

But taking your newly out 10yo child to an event and having a 40yo man walking around waving his pecker shouldn't be allowed

In reply to another post... yes there are security and police

Security can't do anything as they have no real power in a public place, they can detain until the police arrive... the police will remove people from a praide but will not prosecute unless its a serious offence

Same as the people blocking the motorways.. arrested and released without charge (unles they caused damage or attacked someone)

Due to the paperwork involved and the amount of offices that need to be in attendance and called in on days off... they don't want to deal with the paperwork just for them to be released

I've talked to police who have been in attendance on pride days and other lgbqt groups/days

There are topless people and people in very revealing clothing at the Nottinghill carnival would you like that banned as well? If somebody is exposing themselves to children they will be prosecuted and if you have police officers telling you they turn a blind eye then you need to report them.

This is not my post, I didn't say anything about banning people

I said topless isn't an issue...

Please read and not only pick parts you want to read

Report them... did you read my first post on this, they were not not to act, that's why they do paperwork and people get released without charge

Pride isn't about taking pride in yourself it's about being proud of who you are and the community you belong to.

Let a carry on. It's their choice to have a parade a celebration not matter to the ignorance ones self considered you can just say " that was ignorant " but they expressed by a value of they choose. Your not special if you force can someone to choose their own beliefs. You just a dictator trying to get your point across.

All organised religion should be banned. Biggest case of Stockholm Syndrome/group think in history.

I've no issue with personal faith that doesn't affect anyone else. Massive issues with the murdering, torture and sex attacks, and consequential cover ups.

"I agree ban the orange marches "

Just checking you're okay with also banning any marches from the Catholic community too?

(I'm not affiliated with either "side" so not a particular issue for me personally, especially not here in England. Just asking the question.)

"I'm not going to comment on the first, I don't have a horse in the race, but Pride marches are still important as long as there are people in the world who find reasons to hate because of it, and people who can't be themselves because of this.i get that but to be included in society you need to be a part of it. Making a day for yourself excludes you in a way that make you want to be special and unique. Yet to be a paert of a normal society you need to be just who you are and get on with life.

They're celebrating freedom. Remember Alan Turing and others were imprisoned, others murdered?! I think the pertinent part of your question is the "I". Why do these 2 random causes bother you?

Lol you all dumb .. seriously.. freedom of expression is paramount. Forcing your opinions on others is a dictatorship is it not? Wake up to your ignorance. I choose let everyone speak have a parade be happy with your choices.. you lot want to shut those voices down for your own selfish behavior.

I don't think we dispute the history. What I'm asking now, in 2022, is, if you believe orange order marches should be banned, do you agree the same should apply to republican/catholic affiliated parades, which do occur in NI?

I repeat, I personally have no specific point of view.

Ban all religious marches. LGBTQi people actually exist, unlike the hundreds of ethereal "gods" that there's apparently one of. We're largely civilised compared to 2000 years ago, when they had to create understanding of personal and social responsibility. We ain't savages anymore, save the 0.1%.

Ban everything than sit in your ignorance and ponder why no one can have happiness in what " They" choose. Orange March and pride March have the same representation on a freedom of voice standpoint do they not. ? The division is has to stop you all cry foal over others yet. Claim you the righteous ones to your own agenda . Not others on their choices. I'll keep my American values you all insane.

We haven't advocated banning anything. We've asked someone else who advocates banning one type of march whether he would support banning the other side of the coin from marching. He replied. That's that.

Again we ask, are you familiar with the orange order, what it means, the reasons they might march, the feelings it generates etc? The history behind the whole affair?

We'll settle on "no" then.

What the unionist and republicans do is of very limited consequence to us personally but it's of huge consequence to millions of people and has a long and bloody history.

Perhaps before speaking in riddles, it might help to appraise yourself of the nature of the question and why some people might feel banning certain things might make sense to them? I'm referring here specifically to the question about religious marches mentioned.

Yet again, we have not advocated banning anything at all. We have asked questions.

yup I a silly dumb American. That value everyone's decision. You be lost your be mind over a religious march. It's the same individual choices people make. Isn't it more prudent for people to appreciate their personal choices . Not the majority?

We're trying to get you to read up on some history. History that goes back to way before most of the USA was settled by Europeans. It's important history.

What majority/minority are you going on about? None of the debate immediately above is about the Pride parades, which most people would categorise as a completely different thing to the orange order or republican marches in Northern Ireland (which is what we ARE discussing).

There's very specific history behind the Northern Ireland marches and so understanding this history, and the current situation in NI and ROI would really help.

The orange walk should have to have rhe same energy of fun and inclusiveness as Pride or it should be banned

How can anyone have a problem with Pride marches, I thought they are about fun and inclusiveness but I may have missed something.

What majority/minority are you going on about? None of the debate immediately above is about the Pride parades, which most people would categorise as a completely different thing to the orange order or republican marches in Northern Ireland (which is what we ARE discussing).

There's very specific history behind the Northern Ireland marches and so understanding this history, and the current situation in NI and ROI would really help. "

and there has been history about LGBTQ struggles too on their standpoints. What is the difference in freedom of speech? Happy to see the LGBTQ to have a voice they earned. Now the same voices for others on their personal voices that their freedoms that they choose is bothersome and uncivilized. It's still their voices just like others.

"If you choose your perception on others that is righteous in your eyes .. you are a dictator. No matter your sexual preference race color or religion. You trying to intact your personal views on others for your benefit. Am I correct?

We're trying to get you to read up on some history. History that goes back to way before most of the USA was settled by Europeans. It's important history. Literal wars have been fought over the issues, with ongoing sporadic conflict even now. Without understanding the background, you cannot possibly comment. I can comment we do not follow the mob concept of " democracy" I can change a perception of a federal law according to the constitution. Being a minority goes alot of ways political sexual racist. Among a few. It's a freaking parade a celebration of others that they choose. Not your agenda. If it offends you don't go. It's simplistic.you just don't get it do you.

Going to ask one last time to see if I can get an answer. What do you know about the Orange order?

Dear goodness. The specific discussion you waded into was NOT about Pride. We've said this several times! We are specifically discussing the marches that occur on the island of Ireland, afflicted with unionist or republican groups. Most people who know what they're talking about would put Pride in a totally different category and wouldn't lump Pride parades with orange lodge or republican marches.

Please go and read the history before spouting more stuff!

Do you know anything about the Orange order? I keep asking because you seem to have a lot to say but don't seem to know what it is.

again I said are you mob rules yes or no? If the orange is ultra conservative what is the issue? You walking a thin line on your assessment. It's their voice not yours. Just like the LGBTQ community and any others that choose. You basically saying .. sit down shut up correct? It sounds vaguely familiar.

You are incorrect. Both on what the orange order is and what we are asking or discussing. But that much has been obvious for a while. No one has said to sit down and shut up in any form. We have asked that you inform yourself about a very significant set of issues in the UK and ROI, starting from a very long time ago.

OK so you have answered my question you don't have a clue what you are talking about. The Orange order has nothing to do with conservatism. I really don't understand why you keep commenting on this as you don't know anything about it.

hint the same thing you fought against in WW2. Silence of others. Voices matter no matter how horrendous you perceive . Otherwise you fall into a one mentality.not individualism.

This is nothing to do with World War II.

Yet you want to silence other voices. I do not. Does that sound familiar at all to you?
