Pink plaques for Brighton?

[Gully]

When I first heard about this I thought it was a good idea, but only if it attracted more tourists, however now I am not so sure. I don't care what someones' race, religion or sexuality are, it is of no relevence to me, if I like them then I am happy for them to be my friend, if not then I steer clear. Surely if someone is famous and lived in the city then they are deserving of a blue plaque, why on earth make something of the fact that they also happened to be gay and make it a pink one.

A real sign of PC madness.

So blue signifies heterosexual? Surely the people should be recognised for their work, not their sexuality. If we are expected to accept homosexuality as normal, then why should a pink plaque be used. Surely that signifies its abnormality.

spot on. why do we want to identify this division? pathetic.

I guess both The Spotted Dog and The Greyhound will be covered in pink....

Are pink plaques going to be placed outside certain public conveniences ?

No, those will be in the shape and colour of a large chocolate starfish.

f*** sake, what an utter load of old BOLLOCKS this idea is. By all means have plaques commemorating people who have made a contribution and/or achieved something worthwhile. But WHY does it have to be directly linked to whether they like panning for brown nuggets or not ?

Brighton & Hove Pink Plaque no. 112.
"This was the home of Tarquin Bothersome-Prodder (1898-1967). Between 1930 and 1949 he scaled Mount Everest, rescued a trapped giraffe from a well, discovered a cure for scurvey, and invented Blu-tack. Tarquin dressed as a woman on Fridays, and was known to like taking it up the pooper."


Whats the POINT ?

Gays are normal people surely.

Wrong! They are abnormal. If nature intended same-sex sex, we would reproduce that way.

You say that, but we all know you dream of being taken roughly up the back passage by a sailor

Not true. Nature placed the prostate gland up your arse for gay bender purposes

You really are a complete wanker!

What a load of rubbish!! Why should they be any different to the rest of us? A complete waste of money, why can’t the councils actually do what they have been elected for and serve the community, instead of doing things for personal gain.
