It's ok the gays are well happy with it. Just the women and journo's to pay off now..
Reading this statement from the Newcastle Gay group is as depressing as listening to Thatcher's 'justifications', back in the day, in favour of easing sanctions on the murderous apartheid regime in South Africa. Appeasement and acceptance don't work, they merely confer legitimacy and prolong the oppression.
Well done, Newcastle Gays - you've just taken a few steps backwards.
