Outrage as Tesco backs gay festival... but drops support for cancer charity event

Whether it is good or not is subjective at best, however your membership of the forum is not predicated by your loyalty to the store, but by your behaviour and ability to stay within the rules of the forum.

Also overtly stating that you intend to further break one of the cardinal rules is as daft as rejoining and resurrecting a thread associated with your previous username.

He doesn't seem to be very bright from his actions so I say we leave him do his own grave.
 
Gays = long term customers
Cancer people = soon to be deads (well a fair percentage of anyway)

So do you back a group of people who will spend money, gays all have spare cash... like to buy food from the finest range and will shop at Tesco OR do you back a load of cancers who in fairness are having a tough time, but chances are they will not be around to collect their clubcard points in a years time.

Unless Tesco start stocking coffins, then I dont see their marketing policy changing too much.

Can you imagine if you were a gay , black , disabled , asylum seeker in this country. You'd have more rights than Queen Liz ....

The difference is that straight people have never been stripped of their rights for being straight.

They aren't celebrating being gay, they're celebrating the fact they have the right to be gay. It's only during relatively recent times that gay people haven't been either imprisoned or killed in the vast majority of societies.

Aside from that, I really don't understand why you'd care if they were simply celebrating being gay.

I'm brown, i don't go celebrating that i don't get bashed (in most places :p) anymore. Nothing against celebrating gayness, but i honestly see it as another hum drum part of life and nothing to shout about, i thought they got it out of their system in the 80s!

Truthfully, all these gay pride events have probably strayed from their original meaning over the years and are now just used by homosexuals to get together and socialise.

I am completely guessing here by the way, I am no expert in homosexuality or anything :p

*goes to look at breasts*

Being gay has put people in a negative position across multiple races and countries, homophobia has no boundaries. :p
